Nutritional Profile
Wholesome Human Hero Ingredients: Grass-Fed Beef & Mushrooms
Grass-fed beef:
- A better fat profile: Grass-fed beef has a leaner fat content and a more favourable fat profile, with less overall fat than conventional (grain-fed) beef.
- Contains higher levels of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which may help reduce inflammation and have anti-cancer properties.
- A great source of essential vitamins (like B vitamins) and minerals such as zinc, iron, and selenium, which support metabolism, energy and overall health.
- Mushrooms are rich in potassium antioxidants, which can help lower blood pressure and protect against neurological disorders. They are a source of Vitamin B12 and a natural source of Vitamin D if exposed to UV light, supporting overall well-being.
- Mushrooms are high in fibre, and they promote gut health and contribute to a healthy immune system.
