About Our Elk
Grass Fed & Finished from New Zealand with no steroids, antibiotics, or hormones ever.
Elk offers more protein than chicken, beef or lamb, and is packed with vitamins and minerals like B-12, L-methionine, thiamine, iron, phosphorus, zinc, riboflavin and niacin, all of which work towards reducing the risk of heart disease, boosting the immune system and improving general health and longevity.
Elk is nutritionally comparable to other commonly known lean proteins like chicken and turkey.
Importance of Nutrients
Protein is crucial to building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and forming the foundation of your muscles, skin and bones. A protein deficiency can result in stunted growth, an increased appetite and a greater risk of infection.
Zinc is an important mineral that plays a vital role in the health of your immune system acting as an antioxidant to neutralize disease-causing free radicals while also providing aid in the development of immune cells.
Vitamin B12 and Iron are two nutrients that are necessary to prevent iron-deficiency anemia, a condition characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells in the body. It can cause symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, paleness, dizziness and a fast heartbeat.
Vitamin B12 has also been shown to play a role in memory and learning, suggesting support in brain health.
L-Methionine is an essential amino acid that helps keep bones strong, especially important for aging pets whose bones begin to thin and become weak and brittle.
Some fun Elk facts you probably didn’t know:
Elk (often mistaken for Moose) are one of the largest species of deer weighing up to 1100lbs, outrunning any human reaching top speeds of 40mph!
They are also incredibly social animals living in large groups up into the hundreds and even much larger than that considering Colorado has over 300,000 elk. Jackson Elk Herd is one of the largest on record clocking in at 11,000 in 2022.
