Beef meat

Beef meat is a rich source of complete protein for our pets. In particular, the essential amino acid phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid required in the production of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland is an organ that secrets important hormones which regulate many metabolic processes including growth and energy.
Beef meat is also a source of creatine and taurine. Creatine is an energy source for healthy muscles and taurine is an important amino acid for heart and eye health in our pets. Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats to obtain from their diet as they cannot make this amino acid from other amino acids like dogs can.
Glutathione is an antioxidant that is abundant in meat. Glutathione has an important role in normal detoxification processes within the body.
Beef meat also contains fat. Fat is important for energy and cellular health, a shiny coat, and healthy skin. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a type of fat found in beef meat and this type of naturally occurring fat has positive effects on general health, heart and cardiovascular system function, as well as a healthy immune system.
As a red meat, beef is higher in iron than white meats and seafood. Including red meat as part of your pet’s diet will ensure they have access to this important mineral which is critical for the transportation of oxygen through the body. Beef is also a good source of the minerals zinc, phosphorus, and selenium.
Beef meat is a good source of vitamin B3, B6, and B12. These vitamins are important for proper red blood cell formation, brain health and nervous system function as well as cardiovascular system health.
