It is widely known by all ancient societies that liver is the most nourishing food on the planet. Liver contains more nutrients, gram for gram, than any other food including:
  • High-quality protein
  • Vitamin A – nature’s most concentrated source
  • All the B vitamins in abundance, particularly vitamin B12 if consumed raw
  • One of our best sources of folic acid
  • A highly usable form of iron
  • Trace elements such as copper, zinc and chromium; liver is our best source of copper
  • A yet unidentified but proven to exist anti-fatigue factor
  • CoQ10, a nutrient that is especially important for cardio-vascular function if consumed raw
  • A good source of purines, nitrogen-containing compounds that serve as precursors for DNA and RNA
This is taken from that link on Liver!
