The Benefits of Grass-Fed Ghee

Have you ever heard of Ghee butter?

This delicious butter, originally from India, is gaining more and more popularity around the world.

But what makes ghee so special? Well, this animal-based butter is produced from the fat of primarily grass-fed cows, which gives the product a series of health benefits.

Ghee from grass-fed cows is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for the proper functioning of our bodies. These fatty acids help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.

Additionally, ghee is a source of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are essential for healthy skin, bones, and the immune system.

Ghee is also very versatile when it comes to cooking. It can be used for cooking over high heat without burning, adding a rich, inviting flavor to your dishes.

Whether you're making a delicious omelette or a baked dish, ghee is definitely an ingredient to consider.

Try grass-fed Ghee and discover all its health benefits for yourself.

Ghee is a fashion food

What is the advantage?

Butter from grass-fed cows is also richer in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K2, compared to butter from grain-fed cows (11).

So, simply put, grass-fed butter is healthier and more nutritious.

Let me give you an example.

Vitamin K2, essential for arterial health, osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer, kidney stones, etc., gives grass-fed butter its characteristic yellow color.

In fact, all NON-grass-fed butters are pale white, because they do not contain adequate amounts of Vitamin K2.


The photo shows a range of butters available in Italy, compared to BRADO Grass-Fed Ghee, which has a yellow-golden-orange color due to its high levels of vitamin K2 and other nutrients of high biological value. Note that even the organic and clarified butters are almost white.


Obviously the same thing applies to the other fundamental vitamins A, D and E which butter (would be) rich in if it were not for the wicked trend of feeding it cereals to make it fatten up and make it more economically profitable.

So only BRADO Ghee Grass Fed is:

1. Rich in soluble oil with vitamins A, D and E.

For example, BRADO Grass Fed Ghee contains high values ​​of Vitamin D, that is 133 mcg compared to the normal 0.1 mcg of ghee sold in supermarkets.

2. rich in K2 and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), an antioxidant with antiviral properties, because it comes from cows fed only grass.

In particular, classic ghee butter on the market contains approximately 15 mcg of Vitamin K2, while BRADO Ghee Grass Fed contains 59 mcg, that is, 4 times more.

These are the complete analyses:

3. It is nutritionally rich like coconut oil.

Ghee is rich in medium-chain fatty acids, which are absorbed directly by the liver (like carbohydrates) and burned as energy.

Athletes can use ghee as a constant source of energy.

1. It may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Despite the bad press it has received over the years, ghee may actually be protective against heart disease.

Ghee is rich in conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, a fatty acid known to protect against carcinogens, arterial plaque, and diabetes.

CLA is also known as a weight loss supplement, which, as several studies have shown, can have powerful health effects (9,10).

Butter from grass-fed animals contains 5 times more CLA than butter produced from grain-fed cows (8).

Because of these benefits, researchers say that grass-fed ghee butter (like BRADO) can potentially be used to help prevent cardiovascular disease (2).

An unfortunate result of the war on saturated fats has been the replacement of traditional foods with highly processed alternatives, such as margarine.

A study suggests that increased consumption of vegetable ghee (like our margarine), which contains up to 40% trans fatty acids, has actually led to an increase in cardiovascular disease in Indians.

A study conducted on a rural population in India showed that men who ate high amounts of traditional Ghee had a lower incidence of heart disease than those who ate less (3).

Saturated fatty acids are actually much more than just a source of energy; some of them have very potent biological activity.

As a consequence, many of the fatty acids found in butter can influence our physiology and biochemistry, with interesting health benefits.

Butter is usually considered a “dangerous” food because of its saturated fat content.

We have always been accustomed to fearing it.

But saturated fats aren't actually bad, in fact...

The myth of saturated fat has been debunked in recent years. Two studies involving hundreds of people were published recently, in 2010 and 2014.

These studies have clearly demonstrated that there is no link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease (12,13).

Studies show that people who eat grass-fed butter have a lower risk of heart disease.

The relationship between full-fat dairy consumption and heart disease appears to depend on where the study is done.

In countries where cows are fed grass, people who eat butter appear to be less likely to suffer from heart disease.

A very interesting study on this topic was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2010:

Smit LA, et al. Conjugated linoleic acid in adipose tissue and risk of myocardial infarction. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2010.

This study analyzed CLA levels in the fat tissues of 1,813 patients with non-fatal heart attacks and compared them with those of 1,813 similar subjects who had not had heart attacks.

This study was done in Costa Rica, where cows are fed grass.

In the study, subjects were divided into five groups, from lowest to highest in terms of CLA levels. The results were very interesting.

The more fatty dairy products (such as butter) these people ate, the lower their risk of heart attack.

In fact, people who ate the most were 49% less likely to have a heart attack than those who ate the least.

We must keep in mind that this is a case-control study, a type of observational study. This type of study does not prove causality, but it is nevertheless highly indicative.

This study shows that people who eat more grass-fed dairy products have a lower risk of heart attack, but it doesn't prove that fat is the reason for the reduced risk.

In any case, this study can reassure us that butter is not THE ENEMY, as we have always been accustomed to believing.

This is certainly not the only study.

Another study done in Australia found that people who ate the most full-fat dairy products had a 69% reduced risk of heart disease compared to people who ate the least (14).

Several other studies in European countries, where cows are generally fed grass, have shown that fat reduces heart attacks and strokes (15,16).

This may also be due to the fact that Vitamin K2 acts on atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis, which devastate our arteries with age due to calcium infiltration, contributing to degenerative diseases.

Recent studies show that a vitamin K2 deficiency creates more vascular calcification than initially thought.

This is why grass-fed meat/butter is important (18).

In short, Grass Fed Ghee butter is super healthy

So, while it has been demonized in the past, grass-fed ghee is one of the most heart-healthy fats we can consume.

2. Ghee can help you make beautiful babies.

If you plan to try to conceive a child at any time, vitamin K2 is an important nutrient to supplement your diet.

According to the Weston A. Price Foundation, vitamin K2 plays a crucial role in facial and dental development.

Children born to mothers with high levels of vitamin K2 are more likely to have broad, symmetrical faces with plenty of room for straight, healthy teeth later on (4).

Grass-fed ghee is a great source of vitamin K2, making it an important food for pre-conception and pregnancy.

3. Ghee can help improve digestion.

Good digestion is the key to good health, and if you're dealing with any kind of digestive issue, healing your gut lining is an important first step.

Ghee is rich in butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that nourishes the cells of the intestine.

What is butyric acid?

Butyric acid is a non-essential, saturated fat, and one food that contains large quantities of it and is particularly beneficial for the intestine is Ghee.

Butyric acid plays an essential role in intestinal health, where it appears to have an anti-cancer effect. Recent studies suggest it may reduce the proliferation of cancer cells.

Furthermore, butyric acid is considered one of the most important energy sources for intestinal cells.

Everyone knows the importance of bacterial flora – or the human microbiome – and its impact on the health of the entire organism.

But few people understand the connection between butyric acid, diet, and symbiotic intestinal bacteria. Indigestible carbohydrates are considered prebiotics—or nutrients—for our precious gut flora.

This category includes inulin, cellulose, resistant starch, beta-glucans, pectins, and oligofructoses.

Whenever we introduce indigestible carbohydrates, the bacterial flora begins a fermentation process using these fibers and exploiting certain enzymes.

This process forms short-chain carboxylic acids, including butyric acid.

The combination of these substances helps reduce the pH in the colon and – like a chain reaction – this factor increases the production of butyric acid and 'good' bacterial flora.

Several studies support the idea that butyric acid – or its derivatives – appear to be excellent anticancer agents and inducers of programmed cancer cell death (or apoptosis).

Studies suggest that butyric acid can be successfully used in the "treatment of colorectal cancer and hemoglobinopathies."

Another study, published in , states that “butyric acid and tributyrin are potent apoptotic agents [inducing programmed cell death, Ed.] and suggests that dietary sources of butyric acid, such as milk fat, may provide anticancer activity against the liver.”

Butyric acid in irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis

Recent studies have highlighted that:

«Butyrate supplementation stimulates the elongation of the villi deep in the ileum and the crypt in the cecum.
Butyric acid has also been shown to exert potent anti-inflammatory effects both in vitro and in vivo.
Its immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory activity is presumably based on the topical inhibition of inflammatory mediators in the epithelium.
The ability of butyrate to decrease concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been widely documented.

These benefits were also significant in subjects suffering from irritable bowel syndrome who, following the rectal administration of butyric acid during an acute phase, saw a reduction in symptoms.

«Some anti-inflammatory effects of butyrate have also been observed in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and proctitis». (19-24)

According to Phyllis A. Balch, author of Prescription for Nutritional Healing , butyric acid is "a monounsaturated fatty acid [that] reduces inflammatory conditions, reduces infiltration of undigested food particles, and aids in the repair of the mucosal wall" (5).

Grass Fed Ghee Butter contains 4% butyric acid.

4. Grass-fed ghee may be able to help you lose weight.

Above we described the cardiovascular protective qualities of CLA, but beyond this, it has also been shown to help prevent weight gain and aid in weight loss.

According to one study, CLA supplementation in overweight participants showed significant weight loss over a six-month period.(6)

More studies are needed, but if you're hoping to lose weight, replacing highly processed rancid vegetable oils with grass-fed ghee may be a good place to start.

5. Grass-fed ghee is more versatile in the kitchen

Another important difference to keep in mind is the smoke point: that of regular butter is much lower than that of olive oil, which is why it should not be used for frying, as is sometimes recommended.

This does not apply to our Ghee butter, which contains less water and can withstand higher temperatures than traditional butter, thus avoiding the risk of burning everything.

Ghee has a smoke point of 250 degrees, while whole butter burns at about 130 degrees. Therefore, ghee allows you to fry and brown foods more efficiently.

How do you use ghee in cooking?

The answer is very simple, because ghee can be used as you normally would with butter.

Ghee butter can therefore become the base for ZERO CEREAL pasta sauces, in the preparation of pasta dedicated to the preparation of paleo-pies, even savoury ones (we recommend great moderation when it comes to paleo-desserts, which should only be consumed occasionally or on special occasions).

BRADO can therefore be added to main courses such as meat and fish and used in long cooking methods, such as stews or casseroles.

Bullet Proof Coffee

This is a blend made very famous by Dave Asprey, which promotes lipid metabolism and is composed of a coffee-based drink blended with grass-fed ghee butter and a special oil produced from coconut, namely MCT (medium-chain fatty acids, with a high concentration of C-8/C-10*).

It undoubtedly helps you get to lunchtime without feeling hungry and puts you in a state of excellent mental concentration.

Dave Asprey, the American nutrition guru who popularized the idea of ​​adding grass-fed ghee to coffee, took inspiration from Tibetans who, at 6,000 meters above sea level, add yak butter (a local cattle) to their tea to prepare for the climb.

In all recent bulletproof food theories, one fixed point is that fats (unfairly banned for decades, as we have already illustrated several times) are much less harmful than sugar and highly refined or processed foods.

The principle behind bulletproof coffee's supposed effectiveness is that it induces a positive metabolic shift, ketosis: by pushing our body into a blood sugar deficit, it forces it to draw on stored fat reserves.

By the same principle, therefore, this blend of pure coffee, butter, and coconut MCT oil (which contains no refined sugars or complex carbohydrates) would allow the metabolism to effectively target fat reserves.

How to make bulletproof coffee

• 250 ml of coffee obtained from beans of a single origin or even better from a single plantation, possibly low-roasted and grown above 1200 metres;
• 25 g of grass-fed ghee butter produced from cows raised entirely on pasture and fed on grass and not cereals;
• 30 ml of MCT oil (medium chain fatty acid), or coconut oil
