                                Just as plants contain beneficial phytonutrients, animal foods are also rich in powerful, health-modifying compounds known as zoonutrients. Derived from animal sources, these molecules have been shown to influence physiological functions like anti-inflammatory responses, antimicrobial actions, and immune system health.
