Wild Game is at the core of sustainable nutrition. It has all the buzz words engrained in its DNA. Natural, sustainable, high protein, low-fat, lean, mineral dense, nutrient dense, Irish, GMO free, due to the animals’ natural diets and active lifestyles.
Farmed meat may tend to be high in saturated fat, but there are a few exceptions. Wild game meats, such as venison, are low in saturated fats. This is often the motivation behind people choosing venison.
Venison contains all 10 of the essential amino acids which are the compounds that are responsible for chemical reactions in the body, and which also play a role in metabolic function.
Venison is full of B vitamins: B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin), which help regulate metabolism; and vitamins B6 and B12, which may lower homocysteine build-up in the blood, thus lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Venison has advantages in iron, niacin, and riboflavin.
An important difference between beef and venison is the way in which these animals are raised.
Beef is raised on farms, often being fed concentrated feeds to encourage growth and mature before they are 2 years old.
Wild are free to roam, to eat whatever natural vegetation they can forage and lead a natural lifestyle.
