Most of us
realize that our supplements come from natural sources, but what are they made
of?
Regular
"natural" ascorbic acid or calcium ascorbate start from corn syrup or another
form of refined sugar. Is this what you want nutritionally for your
body?
Ascorbic Acid
(Regular "Natural" Vitamin C)
MegaFood is
different. It is one of the only products in the Natural Products industry
to grow or nutrient activate our nutrients to become nutrients in a FoodState.
For example, instead of using corn syrup we use nutrient activated whole citrus
extract containing 1,000 of phytonutrients and bioflavonoids that your body
needs on a daily basis, not just one isolated constituent.

Passion for what
we do
In 1937 Albert
Szent-Gyorgyi, a professor at the University of Szeged in Hungary, was awarded
the Nobel Prize, which he received for discovering and "isolating" Vitamin C
(Ascorbic Acid.) He also discovered the Vitamin C crystals he isolated were less
bioavailable (less absorbed by the body) than the Vitamin C contained in a
crushed red sweet pepper extract. This crucial discovery was lost in the rush to
find more "isolated" vitamins and minerals over the following
years.
Andy Szalay also
attended the University of Szeged, graduating with a degree in Pharmacy in 1946.
Andy was consumed with the idea that if only he could produce vitamins and
minerals in a more bioavailable form like the extracts his hero, Albert
Szent-Gyorgyi had tested, people could truly get the superior supplementation
they were trying to achieve without taking large amounts of vitamins and
minerals.
Finally, after a
lifetime as a pharmacist and bench chemist, he was able, at 58 years old, to
devote all his waking hours to fulfilling his dream of developing a new form of
nutrients.
After many
failures, one by one he succeeded in developing Vitamin and Mineral nutrients
that have been shown to be different than "ordinary isolated" vitamins and
minerals supplements.
MegaFood
introduced these FoodState Nutrients in the United States in 1982. It was an
uphill battle - because of the costly proprietary process involved, FoodState
Nutrients are more expensive to produce than ordinary Vitamins and minerals. But
as more and more people experienced the effectiveness of the products, gradually
distribution increased and to date over TWO MILLION BOTTLES HAVE BEEN SOLD IN
OVER TWENTY COUNTRIES.

FOODSTATE NUTRIENTS ARE BETTER THAN ISOLATED REGULAR "NATURAL"
NUTRIENTS!
