The Shocking Truth: Bison vs. Wagyu - Which is the Heart Healthy Meat?


Person slicing raw highly marbled Wagyu beef with a knife. Colorful towel nearby. The background is plain, highlighting the meat's texture and colors.
The marbling you see in the Wagyu pictured, is artery-clogging fat! Wagyu = 10x more fat than bison! It raises bad cholesterol & heart disease risk. 

A Heart-Healthy Meat For Discerning Tastes

If you prioritize premium nutrition, optimal health, and elite performance, your protein choice matters. While Wagyu beef is praised for its rich marbling, that indulgence comes at a cost—high saturated fat, excess cholesterol, and empty calories that don’t align with a longevity-focused, heart-conscious lifestyle.


Bison vs. Wagyu: A Nutrient Powerhouse vs. Fat-Loaded Indulgence

A 3.5 oz serving comparison:

✅ Bison: 2.4g fat, 0.9g saturated fat, 143 calories, 82mg cholesterol
❌ Wagyu: 25g fat, 9g saturated fat, 280+ calories, 90mg cholesterol

(Source: USDA FoodData Central)

That’s over 10x more fat in Wagyu, with 10x more artery-clogging saturated fat—a major contributor to heart disease.


Why High-Performers Choose Bison

Lean, Clean, and Nutrient-Dense – Bison delivers 24g of protein per serving with a fraction of the fat.

Rich in Omega-3s – Bison contains up to 3x more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed beef.

Naturally High in Iron & B12 – Essential for energy, endurance, and optimal oxygen delivery in the body.

Lower Inflammation, Higher Performance – A clean, grass-fed protein to support longevity and active lifestyles.


According to the American Heart Association, diets lower in saturated fat and cholesterol can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Choosing premium proteins like bison over high-fat meats is a simple but powerful upgrade for your long-term health.
