There is a curious phenomenon involving
supplementation. Food is the gold standard
as the intended means of human nutrient
delivery. This is a fact that no one can
deny. Yet food is not at the core of
supplement delivery. There are 29,000
supplemental products. Only 336, by our
count, of these products are whole food or
contain food in the formula.
We create new supplement fractions of our
food, taking them to the lowest possible
denominator. The most exciting revelations
in today's nutrient research are based on
Whole Food. The examination of Traditional
Whole Foods, using modern research methods,
provides results that are astounding.
Research shows isolated Beta Carotene is not
as effective as carotenoids found in Whole
Food. Whole Food research results are
overwhelming.
Removing the surrounding food factors from
Whole Food, to isolate a mere fraction of
that food, won't yield something with
greater nutritional value. Current forms of
isolated supplement fractions have not
proven to provide enhanced nutritive value
over the Whole Food they are isolated from.
Traditional health promoting material is
creating great excitement among researchers.
This excitement isn't translated into
formulas. This lack of interest is
attributable to the fact there is no
financial reward attached to the beneficial
properties of whole tomatoes. You can't
patent a tomato. Lycopene, an isolated
fraction of a tomato, is patented and
provides great financial reward. Research
reveals lycopene from the whole tomato is
more effective than isolated lycopene.
It's time to bring substantiated science
(and common sense) to the forefront and
deliver formulas that convey the extensive
scientific data on the benefits of
Traditional Whole Food.
What Does Vital Food
Factor Mean?
Without food, a supplement is not
nutritious. Food has intelligence, the
ability to know what to do with the
nutrients it carries. These are called Vital
Food Factors. One factor is known as a
Protein Chaperone. In 1999 it was discovered
that each protein (chaperone) carries in its
structure the information (intelligence)
needed to specify its proper location in the
cell. You could say they act as zip codes or
addresses. Supplements without these would
require you to eat with each supplement
taken.
Is MegaFood products 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?
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.
Why isn't MegaFood
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.
What is Marked Whole
Foods and Marking To A Maker Mean?
What is Marked Whole Foods and Marking To A
Maker to Guarantee Whole Food Activity mean?
One approach to establishing the quality of
raw materials is to set minimum levels of
quality through Marker Compounds for each
raw material. This process is known as
"Marking To A Marker. The markers Validate
phytonutrient levels and therefore the
quality of the raw materials. Marked To A
Maker Validation testing reveals that when a
Marker Compound is high in a specific raw
material, other phytonutrient compounds in
that material measure high as well. When
Sulfurophane, Beta Carotene and Vitamin C
are at high levels in broccoli, other
compounds such as Vitamin A, B Vitamins and
Iron will also measure at high levels.
Marker Compounds are the best Validation.
It's impossible to measure every compound in
broccoli to ensure its quality. Broccoli may
contain as many as 20,000 individual
compounds. No one knows the exact number or
all the components that make up any food.
Therefore we rely on certain identified
marker compounds as a measure of broccolis
quality. Marked To A Marker is not perfect.
It is the best current method to Validate
the quality of raw materials.
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.

The Vegetarian
Alternative to Glandulars Strengthens Adrenal Function
Stress is a killer. Research shows that the human
physiology under stress, suffers in every aspect of its
function. Stress, be it physical, emotional, mental or
environmental, shortens life. Protecting against the
debilitating effects of stress is essential to optimal
health.
Adrenal Function
Adrenal Glands function to manage stress and enhance
energy. The Adrenal Glands create hormones that affect
energy, inflammation, blood pressure, blood sugar,
electrolytes and emotions. “Fight or Flight” response,
our most basic instinct, is controlled by the Adrenals.
Without proper Adrenal Function, life is very difficult
to manage.
Adrenal
Exhaustion - The Challenge
Lifestyle, dietary and environmental factors affect the
Adrenal Glands. Exhausted Adrenals deplete the body's
vitality and disrupt the body's balance.
Adrenal
Strength™ - The Solution
Adrenal Strength™ is specifically formulated to
Strengthen every aspect of Adrenal function. Adrenal
Strength™ also Strengthens the body's natural stress
adaptation response. Sensoril® is a patented Ashwagandha
extract that manages stress, tension, irritability and
energy. Reishi & Cordyceps Organic Optimized Response
Mushrooms, grown on antioxidant-rich purple corn, are a
remedy for stress and restores the body's vitality and
balance. Cold Fusion™ FoodState® Nutrients, such as
Pantothenic Acid is an important component in the
manufacture of coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl carrier protein
(ACP). These critical body chemicals are vital to the
manufacture of Adrenal Hormones and red blood cells.
Pantothenic Acid stimulates the Adrenal Cortex,
increases the production of cortisone and other adrenal
hormones. Both CoA and ACP play essential roles in fat
and carbohydrate utilization and energy production.
[1]
Adaptogens maintain homeostasis,
support the Adrenal Glands and Adrenal functions during
stress. Adrenal Strength™ contains the premier
adaptogens Ashwagandha, Schizandra Berry, Holy Basil,
Cultivated American Ginseng, and Astragalus Root.
Adrenal Strength™ is Driven by Food™
and will provide a strengthening action or effect.
