Beef Mineral Testing Results

In previous posts we shared the Fatty Acid test results and Heavy Metal test results from our participation in the BioNutrient Beef Study. In this post we display the results of the Mineral tests. The charts below show the average testing results for 78 Grain-Fed samples, 251 Grass-Fed samples and 3 samples from DS Family Farm beef. These results were from data received in January 2024. The beef samples we submitted were from our 2022 growing season.

The note for each mineral was provided in our test result spreadsheet from the BioNutrient Institute. Below each chart we calculate the amount of each mineral you would consume in milligrams if you ate a half pound of our beef. At the bottom of each chart we list other food sources for each mineral based mainly on the information found at MYFOODDATA.

BioNutrient Institute Beef Study Results – Minerals

Three minerals tested showed ZERO or near zero testing level resutls:

• Mn – Manganese = 0 mg/100 g
• Se – Selenium = 0 mg/100 g
• Sr – Strontium = < 0.02 mg/100 g

Mineral testing results displayed in the following graphs.

We are happy to share our testing results from participation in this beef study. As more details from this study are shared with us we will post further information. We are specifically still waiting on the following testing data:

• Amino Acids
• Energy Metabolites
• Organic Acids
• Protein Fat Proximate Analysis
• Phytochemicals (Antioxidants)
• Vitamins

If you make any interesting observations from the posted data/charts, please share those comments on our FaceBook post. Thank You.
