Health benefits

It has been proven that the nutritional quality of Argentine meat is superior to the one of other countries. The availability of lands suitable for grazing, soil and climate, have favored the adaptation of the finest breeds known in the world, achieving a product that is an internationally registered trademark. 

Meat produced in the Argentine Republic offers benefits for human health such as higher content of Omega-3 fatty acids and a superior balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 (these are essential fatty acids). The most important benefit of these fatty acids is that they improve cardiovascular activity, the response of the immune system and also protect vision, among other qualities. 

The presence of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is another relevant characteristic of Argentine meat. CLA is known to prevent prostate cancer and breast cancer, being one of the most potent natural Anticancer agents. Studies show that CLA also reduces fat percentage and increases muscle tissue.
