What does it mean to be Proven?
HOW PROVEN WAS BORN
UTAH STATE BEEF PURITY TEST
It all started with an invitation to test our beef in 2022. We knew we were doing right to remove chemicals in the soil and elevate the mineral balance in the grass. And, full disclosure, we had no idea just how good of a job we were doing! Results revealed a top ranking in the country against some of the major food titans–for purity, omega balance ratio and nutrient density. And from this test PROVEN was born.
The omega 6:3 fatty acid ratio
The chronic inflammation epidemic, what “grass-fed” really means, and why it matters.
The vast majority of “grass-fed” claims are an outright lie. Did you know that by testing for the OMEGA 6:3 ratio you can determine if a cow was actually 100% grass fed? The closer that ratio is to 2:1, the more time that cow spent doing what nature intended—grazing on grass. It’s not just a detail. It’s a biomarker of truth. Grain-fed cows? You’ll see it in the numbers. > 15:1 in most cases.
Grass-fed, grass-finished cows? You’ll taste and feel the difference. Ever wonder why America is dealing with so many inflammatory conditions? It's time we started holding BIG FOOD accountable. It's time for radical transparency. Is your beef truly grass fed? Is your Beef PROVEN?
key highlights
Omega 6:3 Ratio
Measured Omega 6:3 Ratio: 2.05:1
This ratio is remarkably close to the ancestral ideal of 2:1—an extremely rare benchmark for modern beef products.
Industry Comparison:
Grain-fed beef: Typically ranges from 10:1 to 20:1 or higher. Standard grocery store “grass-fed” beef: Often ranges 5:1 to 8:1 (due to partial grain finishing or misleading labeling)
PROVEN Beef Stick: At 2.05:1, it lands in the top percentile of allbeef products tested for omega balance.
OMEGA 6:3 RATIO
The Golden Ratio - As Nature Intended
Our fermented beef sticks are crafted from beef raised on diverse pastures and nutrient-dense forages, results tested to have a Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio of under 2:1.
Why does that matter? The standard American diet often delivers an imbalanced ratio (as high as 20:1), contributing to inflammation and chronic disease. A lower ratio — like ours — reflects a natural, anti-inflammatory fat profile, supporting brain health, metabolism, and heart function.
Is your beef truly grass-fed? Is your beef PROVEN?

“Grass fed beef is the biggest scam on the planet, less than 1% of beef sold is actually grass fed” Watch Dr Berg's youtube short here.
MYCOTOXIN TESTING
White as Snow
Our fermented beef sticks is rigorously tested for harmful mycotoxins — toxic compounds often found in low-quality feed and processed meats. Our latest lab results confirm that our beef sticks are mycotoxin-free, with all tested compounds measuring below detectable limits,
SUGAR CONTENT
Zero Sugar Naturally
Sweetened with intention, not impact. At Proven, we use a touch of organic maple powder to kickstart natural fermentation — but when it’s done, the sugar is gone.
Our fermentation process fuels beneficial microbes that consume the maple powder, leaving behind a flavorful, shelf-stable stick with zero grams of sugar in the final product. This means no blood sugar spikes, no hidden carbs, and no compromises.
Just clean protein, beneficial compounds from fermentation, and a rich, savory taste you can feel good about.
