Beef Heart牛ハツ (心臓) · Ushi Hatsu (Shinzou) · หัวใจวัว

Beef heart provides a concentrated source of Coenzyme Q10 ($CoQ_{10}$), an essential cofactor for the mitochondrial electron transport chain and a potent lipid-soluble antioxidant. Its unique amino acid profile is rich in taurine and carnitine, which are critical for cardiac contractility and fatty acid oxidation. The high bioavailability of its heme-iron ($4.3mg$) and Vitamin $B_{12}$ ($11\mu g$) makes it a clinical choice for enhancing erythrocyte function and mitigating systemic fatigue related to micronutrient deficiencies.

Overview

An organ meat exceptionally dense in Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin B12, and heme-iron, supporting mitochondrial energy and oxygen transport.

Food noteShow details

Beef heart is technically a muscle meat but categorized as an organ due to its extreme nutrient density and mitochondrial concentration. To maintain its high CoQ10 levels and tender texture
Quick high-heat searing or low-temperature sous-vide is recommended. Selecting grass-fed beef heart ensures a superior fatty acid profile and higher concentrations of fat-soluble vitamins compared to grain-fed alternatives.
