From Megafood’s inception
in 1973 we have challenged conventional thinking. MegaFood’s knows that
Food is the essential factor in nutrient delivery and utilization. We
continue with the backing of the latest research to create formulas
that convey the importance of food in nutrient delivery. MegaFood is
Focused on Food.
Food’s Role in Nutrient Delivery
Attention to the detail of how nutrients are
delivered and utilized has served MegaFood well. Recent Science, including
a Nobel Prize, confirms no nutrient can be delivered without the helping
hand of factors that exist in Food. MegaFood’s formulas focus on the
nutritional and therapeutic benefits found in Food.
Specific Response Formulas
MegaFood continues their traditional Focused
on Food with Scientific Response Formulas form Nutritional Therapeutix.
Recent Science reveals, when looking for a Specific Physiological Response,
Whole Food is necessary and has a powerful synergistic effect on results.
Nutritional Therapeutix Specific Response Formulas deliver nutrient
stimuli that provide explicit, measurable, intelligent physiological
response.
Specific Response and Nutrient Intelligence
- Specific Response is an explicit physiological
action
- Specific Response requires Intelligent Nutrients
- Intelligent Nutrients are created in Food
- Specific Response is always Driven by Food
- Nutritional Therapeutix is Driven by Food
Nutritional Therapeutix
Strength Formulas
Nutritional Therapeutix Formulas are created
to convey the definition of Strength: “The Capability of Generating
an Action or Effect・/I> Strength Formulas deliver a Specific Physiological
Response. The Specific Response is a known. The Specific Response is
based on traditional use and published scientific research.
Nutritional Therapeutix
Product Development Criteria
The Health Food Business offers products to
two groups of people. Those who use our products to prevent future health
challenges. Those who are looking for solutions to existing physical
problems. Both groups deserve the highest quality and most efficacious
products available.
- Price as an Issue
There are many high quality companies in the Health Food Business.
Yet the overall tone of the business has changed.
There was a time that you could rely on products to be the highest
quality. There is a movement today toward lower price. For many
companies, price has become the most important feature of their
product offerings. This obsession with price has required many companies
to lower the quality of their raw materials to compete. In MegaFood’s
opinion this change in the quality of raw material has been detrimental
to the efficacy of their products.
- Trust and The Health Food Business
Trust is the most important asset of the Health Food Business.
Changes in the business have lead to lesser quality products being
sold to willing consumers. Consumers with a leap of faith, want
to experience the benefits of natural products. Trusting consumers,
in many cases, are not receiving the results they are promised.
The media is continually attacking the Natural Products Industry
for selling product that don’t work. They are presenting test results
that show natural products don’t live up to their claims. Perhaps
some manufactures deserve the criticism.
- Quality as an Issue
When nutritional supplements are created with the highest quality
materials they致e been proven to work. We have recorded evidence
that show large groups of people, worldwide, achieve exceptional
results with nutritional supplements. Why would intelligent people
use an herb, for a specific problem, for 5,000 years if they didn’t
get results?
One reason we are not receiving the promised results is, in many
cases, the raw materials are being chosen to provide a low price,
not great results.
Nutritional Therapeutix
: DRIVEN BY FOOD
Nutritional Therapeutix is concerned with maximizing
the body’s physiological Specific Response to nutritive material. The
overwhelming knowledge that Food is the ultimate healer led to an examination
of currently available products. There’s a void in regard to Food’s
essential role in Specific Response. This is the reason for MegaFood’s
entry into Therapeutic Formulas. Nutritional Therapeutix Formulas set
a new standard for cellular delivery of therapeutic nutrients based
on Food. Nutritional Therapeutix Maximizes Specific Response.
Nutritional Therapeutix
: QUALITY
MegaFood continues our tradition of using only
the Highest Quality Ingredients. MegaFood’s only consideration in formulating
is that consumers receive the best results. You make the decision whether
Nutritional Therapuetix products satisfy your physiological needs, based
on results. All Nutritional Therapeutix formulas are Unconditionally
Guaranteed. If you are not satisfied for any reason, return the formula
for a full refund.

Ethical Harvest: MEGAFOOD’s
RAW MATERIAL POLICY
Categories of Therapeutic Material - Creating
the most profound therapeutic response can be challenging. There are
many categories of raw materials that can be used in supplements to
create therapeutic response:
- Whole Food
The first and foremost choice for Nutritional Therapeutix will
always be Food. Food has been proven through historical use and
recent science to be our most important source of nutrient support.
- Regular Vitamins
Regular Vitamins isolated fractions, are another form of therapeutic
material. Fractionalized vitamins have a viable function when they
are supported by the right foods. Nutritional Therapeutix will use
regular vitamins when they are supported by Food Factors necessary
for Maximum Specific Response.
- Animal Products
The use of animal tissue and by-products from meat, such as
Glucosamine Sulfate and Calcium Hydroxyapatite from cows. Collagen
from chickens and Gelatin capsules from animal hooves has become
very popular. MegaFood will not use materials that cause the destruction
or unethical treatment of animals.
- Ethical Harvest
To MegaFood, Ethical Harvest material is renewable, from a sustainable
source and ethically harvested. These materials whether plant or
animal in origin, are considered gifts to humans. These gifts must
be protected from harm at all costs. MegaFood is concerned about
the unethical harvest of plants. Unethical harvesting is endangering
certain species. There is also unethical harvesting of animal products.
The mistreatment of plants or animals should not be tolerated by
humans. MegaFood will not use materials that are unethically harvested.
- Ethical Harvest From Unharmed Animals
While creating Nutritional Therapeutix Specific Response Formulas
we looked at all available raw materials. That search led to materials
that cannot be considered vegetarian. We examined the proven scientific
and traditional benefits of some of these raw materials and felt
it was important to have the option to include them in our formulas.
Some Nutritional Therapeutix formulas may contain ethically harvested,
sustainably sourced raw materials. These materials are gathered
from unharmed, ethically treated live animals.
- New Zealand Velvet
New Zealand pioneered sustainable and humane farming practices for
harvesting Velvet. Overpopulation was a liability to the Red Deer.
Ethical harvesting of Velvet turned the Red Deer population into a
valued and protected asset.
- The New Zealand Harvesting Code
The New Zealand Harvesting Code was developed by the Animal
Welfare Advisory Board in conjunction with animal welfare organizations.
This group included specially trained veterinarians and animal behavior
specialists.
- Natural Harvest
In natural circumstances deer antlers are cast off at the end
of the winter and regrow during the following year. This cycle repeats
itself annually. Antler harvesting takes place while the antlers
are in a cartilaginous state, before they harden into bone. The
remainder of the natural cycle takes place without interference.
- Like Harvesting Wool
This process can be likened to the sheering of sheep’s wool.
It causes no harm or discomfort to the deer. It allows them to live
the protected life of a valued species rather than that of a hunted
pest. MegaFood is grateful for the offering of such a valuable therapeutic
material from New Zealand Red Deer and is happy to play a role in
the protection of this majestic breed.
- Respect For Life-Plant and Animal
MegaFood maintains an unshakable commitment to the use of only
Ethically Harvested materials in the entire range of products. MegaFood
has concluded that Velvet is a renewable, sustainable resource that
is humanely harvested and causes no harm to the deer. The protection
of the environment and all living things will always come first
in our raw material decisions.
- Our Promise
MegaFood will use no raw material that is created through the
destruction or unethical treatment of any animal. Ethically harvested
materials, from live animals that have proven superior therapeutic
benefit will be considered for Nutritional Therapeutix Formulas
- MegaFood’s Vegetarian Products
MegaFood’s policy has been to use vegetarian raw materials.
We assure our customers that we will continue that policy. MegaFood’s
DailyFoods, Maximum Food Formulas and Essentials products remain
100% vegetarian.
