A few months ago, I was looking to start taking a beef organ supplement after doing some research and learning about the potential benefits. Beef organ supplements have been rising in popularity, especially for women, and I wanted to see what all the hype was about and whether or not adding one to my daily supplement routine would improve my hormonal balance.

In researching which brand to use, I discovered that Primal Queen and Glowing Goddess were two brands that were offering a similar product. I researched them both and ultimately decided on Primal Queen, but I wanted to share my decision-making process with you in case you’re always comparing and contrasting these two brands.

At first glance, these two companies appear to be almost carbon copies of each other, but I found a few differences that might sway you one way or the other.

What I Learned About Glowing Goddess

Given the name, Glowing Goddess, it was immediately apparent to me that this brand caters specifically to women (just like Primal Queen). The first thing I noted when researching Glowing Goddess was that they directly compete with Primal Queen in their marketing. It’s as if they know Primal Queen is a massive success, and their mission is to one-up them. I mean, it’s a good idea, but also a little aggressive in my opinion. 

Glowing Goddess’s ingredients list is separated by ingredients that are NOT found in Primal Queen and ingredients that are. The ingredients that the two brands have in common are:

• Bovine ovary powder
• Bovine uterus powder
• Bovine filopian tubes
• Bovine liver powder
• Bovine heart powder
• Bovine kidney powder
• Gelatin capsule

The ingredients that are also in Glowing Goddess’s capsules that are NOT in Primal Queen include:

• Bovine bone marrow powder 
• Bovine pancreas powder
• Bovine thymus powder
• Bovine spleen powder

These extra ingredients are supposed to carry with them additional benefits that you won’t get from a product like Primal Queen, which does not contain them. This is potentially a positive as you’re getting additional nutrients, but it could also pose a higher risk of having an adverse response to the supplement. I know that for me personally, less is more when it comes to supplements. Your decision should also be heavily influenced by your own research and goals when adding a beef organ supplement to your daily routine.

The great news is that all of Glowing Goddess’s ingredients are grass-fed and finished, pasture-raised, hormone and pesticide-free, and free of antibiotics. Essentially, they source all of their beef organs from clean, natural sources. I also noted that Glowing Goddess shares a copy of their third-party testing report (although dark and hard to see) on their website to validate their 3rd party tested claim. Any time you see a supplement company go the extra mile to have their product(s) third–party tested, it’s a very positive sign.

Glowing Goddess advertises a 100% money-back guarantee on their products, which gives the buyer peace of mind that they can get a refund if the product doesn’t work or presents any issues. You can get Glowing Goddess’s beef organ supplement for a one-time purchase of $39.99, or you can subscribe and save 25%, which means you’re paying only $29.99 per month and it’ll be delivered to your door monthly on autopilot. Obviously, if this supplement is one that you plan on taking consistently, the smart move is to go for the subscription so you can save. They also mention that cancelling is easy, so no risk of being locked into anything. 

Overall, I got good vibes from Glowing Goddess, but there were a couple of things that turned me off a bit. First, I really didn’t like the direct competition between them and Primal Queen. It honestly almost feels a little childish to try to one-up a specific competitor. Aside from that, the only other thing that gave me pause on this product was the extra ingredients. For me personally, I like to take the minimum ingredient route, opting to get most of my nutrients from my diet. I wasn’t sure if the extra ingredients would actually provide that much more value. I was specifically looking for relief from hormonal imbalances, which, from what I understand, mostly comes from the female-specific organs like the ovaries and uterus. 

Comparing Primal Queen

After doing some digging into Glowing Goddess, it was obvious that Primal Queen was their biggest competitor, so I started taking a look at Primal Queen. Primal Queen’s website is a lot flashier and has a lot more going on; they use big, bold designs to capture your attention. One of the first things you’ll see on their website is the results of a 12-week study they conducted (yes, I know this could be biased), finding that of the women taking Primal Queen during the 12-week period:

• 68% reported improved energy
• 40% reported reduced hormonal imbalance
• 83% reported higher satisfaction with their cycle

I really liked that Primal Queen focused on female-specific issues like hormones and menstrual cycles, as that’s specifically what I was turning to a beef liver supplement for. 

Every batch of Primal Queen is 3-rd party tested by Eurofins (an esteemed leader in testing, analysis, and lab services), and they provide an easy-to-read copy of their testing report. I really like that Primal Queen only uses 6 hand-picked beef organs instead of just throwing in everything possible. The 6 organs they chose are there for very specific reasons.

A unique benefit of Primal Queen is that their capsules are infused with mint, meaning they add a peppermint scent to them to help mask the unpleasant smell of the natural beef organs. Even though the beef organs used in these supplements are in powder form, there can still be an odor and taste to them, so I love that Primal Queen masks that so they are easier to take.

Similar to Glowing Goddess, Primal Queen offers only the cleanest, highest quality ingredients from cows that are grass-fed, pasture-raised, and free of any hormones or antibiotics. Price-wise, Primal Queen costs slightly more, offering their beef organs for $44 per month vs $39.99 with Glowing Goddess. However, you can buy their 90-day starter kit for $88 and get a whole month for free, which is a great deal. Primal Queen only offers auto-ship subscriptions, which might feel like a deal breaker for some, but honestly, I like that they get delivered monthly without having to remember to order them. You can cancel at any time, so there’s no need to worry about being tied down if, for some reason, you decide to stop taking it. Primal Queen also offers a 365-day money-back guarantee.

Final Thoughts

I ultimately chose Primal Queen because I liked their minimal ingredient approach and the results of their study. I am sure glowing Goddess is a wonderful product as well, and perhaps I will try it in the future, but in the meantime, Primal Queen has provided me with the results I was seeking, so I plan to keep taking it for now. 

As always, I highly recommend doing your own research and consulting with your doctor before making any kind of decision. That said, I hope that sharing what I researched and learned about these two very similar companies gives you some things to think about as you navigate your own decision.
