Why Choose Pasture Raised?

Less saturated fat, more polyunsaturated fat
► Pasture-raised Meat and eggs contain less saturated fat and more heart healthy polyunsaturated fat. Replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats is associated with reduced blood levels of total and LDL cholesterol, which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Lower Ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fats
► Pasture-raised meat and eggs have a lower ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 polyunsaturated fats. Omega-6 fats are more inflammatory than omega-3 fats. Research suggests that a lower ratio in the diet may improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.
► Pasture-raised meat has increased levels of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that may improve neural health. Grass-fed dairy and egg
products have an increased amount of conjugated linoleic acid, which has shown efficacy against cancer and obesity.

Higher levels of vitamins and nutrients
► More antioxidants: Pasture-raised meat and eggs have higher levels of vitamin E. Eggs, beef, dairy, and bison meat contain
more β-carotene. These antioxidants protect cells from damage due to free radicals; β-carotene is critical for vision health.
► Pastured eggs have more vitamin D, which protects against osteoporosis.
► Meat from pastured poultry has more collagen and protein, which is needed to reduce joint pain and build, maintain, and repair tissue
