Ghee Health Benefits

For centuries, ghee has been used to remedy nearly every area of the body: as a digestive and elimination aid, for energy, for skin and eye health, for lubricating the joints, and for alkalizing the blood. Embracing ghee as a part of your wellness toolkit can have a positive affect on your total health.

Made from Grass Fed Butter

Only sourced from humane US Dairy Farms, organic butter from pasture-raised grass-fed cows offers a nutrient-dense profile, higher in butterfat and superior in taste.

100% Good Fat
