Antioxidant Zoochemicals

Zoochemicals - Meat, variety

Just like plants, animal products, too, have healthy natural compounds that are nutritional to our bodies.

In plants, they are called phytochemicals. In animal products, they are called zoochemicals.

Like phytochemicals providing nutrients and cellular protection to the plants, zoochemicals do the same for animals.

In both instances, human being benefits from the same nutrients and cellular protections when we consume these phytochemicals and zoochemicals.

Main Nutrients - Zoochemicals

Depending on the types of Zoochemicals, they would have one or a combinations of the following nutrients:

• Antioxidant:  Lutein, Zeazanthin, Linoleic Acid, Selenium, Copper, Zinc, Vitamin (C,E), Astaxanthin, Methionine
• Other:            Amino Acids (Omega 3 (DHA, EPA)), Protein, Selenium, Copper, Zinc, Vitamin (C,E)

Examples of where Zoochemicals can be found:

Dairy Products

• Dairy Products (milk, cheeses, whey) - Methionine
  
• Eggs - Lutein and Zeazanthin
• Meat - Linoleic Acid, Methionine, Protein
• Seafood or Marine Zoochemicals (we have a separate page for this) - Omega 3, Selenium, Copper, Zinc, Vitamin (C,E), Astaxanthin

Whey

Health Benefits of Zoochemicals
