Liver Supplements on Fridays

I spoke to a priest and asked him about liver supplements and organ meat supplements on Fridays and he said… “Do organ meats count as meat during Fridays or Lent? Yes, organ meats are considered meat and should be avoided on days of abstinence.”

I will do another article in more depth on this but basically even though we aren’t eating the meat but only consuming it as a capsule, it still counts. So during lent days, just make sure to take them at dinner time when you have your meat for the day. Now however the rules have gotten lax over the years but we can be strong enough to not take this supplements on Fridays etc. It won’t kill us, and it’s always a good time for a little extra penance.
