The short answer
Iron-rich organs matter more here than for any other group. Liver twice a week, heart once. Both are stocked in our Standard and Premium boxes.
Calcium is a non-issue if you eat bones (marrow, chicken cartilage, the soft ends of ribs). The body absorbs animal-source calcium far better than supplements.
Vitamin D3 supplementation is almost always necessary in Cape Town's winter. Pair with K2 for bone metabolism.
Women over 40 are an underserved carnivore audience. Here's an honest, evidence-aware guide.
Why protein matters more after 40
Sarcopenia (muscle loss) accelerates sharply after 40 without adequate protein and strength training.
Animal protein is also the most bioavailable source of iron.
What to prioritise in the basket
Red meat 3-4x per week for iron and creatine.
Bone broth daily for collagen and glycine.
Liver 2x per week for folate, B12 and pre-formed vitamin A.
Eggs for choline (if you include them).
Strength training is non-negotiable
Two compound lifts per session, twice a week minimum. Squats, deadlifts, presses, rows.
