Grass-Fed Beef Liver 3000mg 240' - Nutricost
Grass-fed beef, as the name implies, comes from cows that eat mostly grass. It has less total fat and fewer calories than grain-fed beef. It also has up to six times more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids than regular grain-fed beef.
Many people also believe grass-fed beef to be a more humane option. Beef certified by the American Grassfed Association comes from cattle that spend their lives grazing in pastures. Conventionally raised cattle start their lives in pastures but then are shipped to feedlots for several months to a year.
Here's a few benefits of Grass-fed beef:
- Blood health: Beef is rich in iron, specifically a type called heme iron, which your body absorbs very easily. The iron in beef helps your body produce hemoglobin, a protein that helps your blood carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.
- Immunity and healing: Beef is a good source of zinc, which your body needs to heal damaged tissue and support a healthy immune system. Children and teens also need healthy amounts of zinc to thrive and grow.
- Muscle function: Since beef contains every amino acid your body needs, it’s a high-quality source of protein. Protein is essential for muscle health. It rebuilds the muscle tissue that's naturally lost in the wear and tear of daily life. Protein also helps you build more muscle and is especially helpful if you’re working on strength training.
