Meat's Bioavailability

  • Bioavailability is key: It's not just about eating nutrients, but how well your body absorbs and uses them.
  • Meat, especially red meat, poultry, and fish, boasts high bioavailability.
INSIGHT

Protein Powerhouse

  • Animal-based protein has an absorption rate as high as 90%.
  • Red meats are the gold standard, but choose grass-fed and grass-finished.
ADVICE

Micronutrient Focus

  • Prioritize vitamin B12, D, iron, zinc, and phosphorus from meat sources.
  • Beef, liver, and fatty fish are great for B12 and D; red meat and shellfish for iron and zinc.
