Iron pills for fatigue
B-complex for energy
Zinc for immunity
But here’s the problem:
Synthetic iron can cause constipation or nausea
Lab-made B12 isn’t always well absorbed — especially in older adults
Zinc supplements in excess can disrupt copper balance
But when you get these nutrients from whole foods like gizzards, your body:
Absorbs them more efficiently
Uses them more effectively
Avoids the side effects of high-dose pills
✅ Food synergy matters.
The natural combination of protein, heme iron, and B vitamins in gizzards works better together than isolated nutrients in a bottle.
💪 Other Health Benefits of Chicken Gizzards
1. Fights Fatigue & Anemia
Low energy? Pale skin? Dizziness?
These are signs of iron-deficiency anemia — especially common in women, vegetarians, and older adults.
Gizzards are rich in heme iron — the type your body absorbs best (much better than plant-based iron).
✅ Just one serving can cover over 20% of your daily iron needs.
2. Supports Muscle & Recovery
With 24g of high-quality protein per serving, gizzards are perfect for:
Athletes
Seniors fighting muscle loss (sarcopenia)
Anyone trying to stay strong and lean
And since they’re low in fat, they’re a lean protein powerhouse.
3. Boosts Immunity
Zinc and B6 in gizzards support immune cell production and function — helping you fight off colds and infections.
✅ Especially valuable during cold and flu season.
4. Supports Brain & Nerve Health
