MegaFood’s nutritional philosophy is based on food. Delivering nutrients and healthy digestion are vital to this mission. We recognize the importance of healthy digestion for optimal vitality. Two of the most important digestive health supplements are probiotics and plant-based enzymes.
Healthy digestion requires a balance of quality food, enzymes and micro-flora (probiotics). Digestion is often something we take for granted until a problem arises. Cultivating and maintaining a balance of beneficial micro-flora can be challenging with today’s lifestyles. Probiotic supplementation supplies the beneficial flora which works with the body in digestive processes, detoxification, elimination, nutrient production and absorption.
Raw foods contain enzymes that are destroyed in cooking and processing. Supplementation with plant based digestive enzymes supports proper digestion and supplies enzymes that are missing from the diet.
MegaFlora® is formulated to repopulate and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the small and large intestine. MegaFlora® contains only naturally occurring non-competing flora in a non-dairy, food base.
MegaFood Guarantees 20 billion viable cells, at the time of manufacture, consisting of 14 different strains. MegaFlora® supports the beneficial microflora of the digestive system. It supports the efficient assimilation of nutrients.
LITTLE TIDBIT: This product can be helpful for those who have allergies. Open the capsule in the mouth, swallow with water. This will benefit the areas it comes into contact with, not just the bowel. For a natural antihistimine, try the Nutritional Therapeutix Quercetin Strength Blend.
Is this product cold pressed? MegaFood uses Cold Fusion. Keeping the food cold is at the forefront of everything they do. No expense was spared to create this cold fusion process. This process involves using fresh frozen fruits, vegetables and Live yeast in the creation of their products to preserve their nutritive value. They want Fresh Food that maintains its cellular life force. Cold Fusion suspends and maintains the cellular life force, prevents thermal deterioration and bacterial contamination. All the foods are kept frozen until the final stages of nutrient transformation.
Do you need to eat with MegaFood Nutrients like other brands suggest? No. MegaFood is a FoodState Nutrient, so just as if you would eat broccoli, the body knows exactly what to do with the nutrients broccoli contains, your MegaFood supplement will also know. This is a major difference between other brands. You can also chew it. You'll notice the texture is quite different as well than other brands. You can see the food in the supplement.
Can the product go bad quicker? It does have a 2 year shelf life, however just as food spoils and smells bad, you will know if your MegaFood supplement has gone bad because it will spoil just the same.
I noticed that the product is not certified organic, does that mean it is not as pure as organic or does not meet organic standards? Actually Validated does not meet organic standards, it exceeds them. The value of a supplement begins with the handling of the raw material. The finished material is only as Valid as the weakest link in the processing. When dealing with raw materials, especially foods, there are a series of events that must be controlled for the finished product to be the highest quality. No matter what the intent of the finished product, Cold Fusion FoodState, whole food, organic, cultured or food based, the condition and Quality of the raw materials used throughout the process is crucial. Validation Documentation is a measure of the raw material now. True nutritional value should be measured through the support of laboratory analysis and Documented Validation.
MegaFood is the first company, and currently the only company, to offer "Quality Marked" fruits and vegetables in our formulas. Specific marker compounds are used to Validate the Quality of our raw materials. This concept, created a whole new category of supplements, Quality Marked Whole Foods. This was the beginning of an important step for MegaFood, requiring Validation Documents for the foods used in our formulas.
There exists considerable debate and uncertainty as to the definition of Quality in relationship to supplements. There are many tests that can be performed using HPLC, TLC, IR, NMR and other testing methods to Validate supplements. This testing is expensive; therefore, validation is not routinely performed. MegaFood believes that it is crucial to the future of the Health Food Business to Validate the Quality of our supplements.
We can objectively measure the value of supplements and assure they are the highest Quality through analysis of the finished product. The material must pass a test that proves nutrient activity at the tableted or encapsulated stage.
