Bison

An exceptionally lean red meat source that is naturally pasture-raised. Bison has less fat and cholesterol than beef but contains higher concentrations of iron, zinc, and B vitamins, making it the ultimate protein source for clean muscle building.

Recommended Intake & Goals

Eat in post-workout meals or dinner to support muscle recovery and red blood cell production.

Preparation & Usage Steps

  1. Muscle fibers are digested into bioavailable amino acids.
  2. Zinc is absorbed via ZIP transporters, promoting testosterone synthesis.
  3. B vitamins act as coenzymes in cellular energy production.

Nutrition Cues

"Cook at lower temperatures and for less time than beef, as it is very lean."
"Excellent alternative for athletes looking to lower systemic inflammation."
"Rich in selenium to combat oxidative stress."

Preparation Tips

  • Make bison patties seasoned with sea salt and garlic, and grill to medium-rare for a clean, nutrient-dense burger.
  • Slow-cook bison chuck roast with root vegetables for an easily digestible, warming winter recovery meal.

Synergistic Foods & Bio-boosts

  • Lean Power Bison Burger: 150g grilled bison patty, served on a sprouted grain bun with avocado slices and tomato.
