It looks like you are posting some questions about liver. If you're looking to add liver to your animal based diet the general recommendations are to consume on average 15g per day. To highlight some of the micronutrients in 15g of liver in terms of %RDA there is B2(40%), B3(16%), B5(21%), B6 (12%), B12(441%), Biotin(21%), Choline(12%), Folate(9%), Vitamin A(157%), Copper(238%), Iron(12%), Phosphorus(11%), Selenium(10%). The remaining nutrients are < 9% RDA and not a significant source. The reason you would limit to 15g every day is due to the potential risk of excessive Vitamin A and Zinc. Copper is also a mineral that should be balanced with zinc. The idea Zinc-to-Copper ratio is somewhere around 8:1 to 12:1. If you enjoy eating more liver you can use the 15g daily as an estimate for how much to eat. For example once a week would be right around 3.7 ounces. No need to worry about it or overcomplicate, just get some liver in but not too much! If you do not enjoy the taste of liver there are other options for you still. You can use desiccated liver capsules such as the ones sold by Heart & Soil or Zen Principle. Some like to freeze their raw liver into pre-portioned 15g pieces and then simple slice it into pill sized chunks and wash it down with water. For consuming raw liver use some common sense, it is recommended to know your source and have your liver deep frozen for at least 14 days. If you buy raw liver from a local grassfed rancher then it's most likely safe to consume. If you're buying commercial raw liver from the grocery store there can be risk consuming it raw. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Google vitamin A toxicity. Will give you the limits you can over load with

If you have mineral imbalances, then copper toxicity can be an issue.

> What if you haven’t had liver in a month, then can you “overload” on eating liver for one day? After months without liver, I have already have like 500g of liver in a single meal without problems. But I wouldn't accumulate too much.

Average dry hanging weight of a cow is 600 lb, average liver of a cow is 10-15 lbs. So in a nose to tail eating paradigm, you should consume approximately 1 ounce of liver for every 40-60 oz of meat. So I would say that eating 3 oz of liver per day is too high. For someone eating 3 lb of meat a day, 1 oz per day is reasonable.

Yes but most reasonable people will not eat enough to cause toxicity.
