Short answer: yes, Heart & Soil is a legitimate company. It was founded in 2020 by Paul Saladino, MD, is based in Austin, Texas, sells freeze-dried organ capsules made mostly from New Zealand cattle, and publishes third-party test certificates. Its ratings depend on where you look: 4.78 out of 5 from 2,778 reviews on its own site for Beef Organs, but 2.4 out of 5 from only 13 Trustpilot reviews. For Canadian buyers the bigger issue is not quality but terms: orders shipped to Canada are final sale, delivery takes 10 to 15 business days, and Beef Organs costs $76 CAD.
This page collects what the public record says, with the date we checked it (October 11, 2026), so you can decide for yourself.

Heart & Soil reviews: what the ratings say
| Where | Rating | Number of reviews | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heart & Soil’s own site, Beef Organs | 4.78 / 5 | 2,778 reviews | Reviews hosted by the brand |
| Heart & Soil’s own site, Whole Package | 4.67 / 5 | 2,074 reviews | Reviews hosted by the brand |

Recurring themes in public reviews
- Positive: reviewers mention more energy, easy digestion, whole-food quality and glass bottles. One Trustpilot reviewer praised a fast replacement.
- Negative: several Trustpilot reviewers describe slow replies to refund requests, and some say a subscription kept charging or shipping after they cancelled. One felt the “up to 35% off” messaging was misleading because the deepest discounts need a subscription.
Is Heart & Soil worth it in Canada?
The product question and the Canadian question are different. Here is what changes when you order from Canada, taken from the company’s own FAQ:
- Final sale. All orders shipped to Canada and Australia are final sale and not eligible for returns or exchanges. US customers get a 60-day guarantee, opened or unopened.
- Duties included. Duties and taxes are collected at checkout, so there is nothing to pay at the door.
- Delivery time. International delivery usually takes 10 to 15 business days.
- Free shipping. Only US orders over US$100 qualify.
- Price. Beef Organs is $76 CAD and Whole Package $99 CAD on the Canadian store.
