Grass-fed beef has up to six times more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids than regular grain-fed beef.1
Red meat, regardless of feeding regimen, is nutrient dense and regarded as an important source of essential amino acids, vitamins A, B6, B12, D, E, and minerals, including iron, zinc and selenium [17,18]
Grass-fed beef raised on pasture tends to have higher levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals than its grain-fed counterparts.2 These include vitamins A and E, which play critical roles in cognitive function and mood regulation.
Grass fed beef products can be purchased from supermarkets (Brand Macro), and also from other outlets.
