Phood Shake: More than 8 Different Supplements in One!

If you could only take one supplement,
what would it contain?

This is the question we asked ourselves when we set out to create Phood.  We wanted to offer more than just another supplement.  We wanted to create the perfect nutritional program.  Everything needed for complete nutritional support and recovery in one simple, easy, delicious shake. And of course if it’s made by PlantFusion it has to be;

•100% Plant-Based from whole food sources
•No Major Allergens; Dairy, Soy, Gluten, etc
•No Animal
•No Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)

Why Phood is Different than Others…

Not Just Carbohydrates   ModCarb & Baobab is a patened blend of organic superstar grains like amaranth, quinoa, and chia. In addition to being low glycemic for sustained energy, it’s also a concentrated source of beta-glucan, a soluable fiber that significantly slows the uptake of carbohydrates and helps modulate sugar levels in the blood. ModCarb is then paired up with Baobab Fruit. A very powerful superfuit, high in antioxidants which drives Phoods ORAC rating up to 4200/serving!

Not Just Protein   PlantFusion Protein- Nearly identical to one serving of our original PlantFusion protein shake. Multi-source blend, contains raw plant proteins, free of common allergens, easily digestible and tastes great. The only plant protein blend comparable to whey protein in amino acid balance and density.

Not Just Omegas   A Multi Source EFA (essential fatty acids) Blend- Our EFA blend provides a whopping 4,400mg of Omega 3-6-9. We accomplished this by choosing the perfect blend of flax, alagin, and sunflower. Alagin, a marine-based oil from algae, is the most unique component of this blend. Not only rich in Omega 3’s but also phytonutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin.

Not Just Vitamins & Minerals   NO SYNTHETIC VITAMINS HERE! We’re using vitamin, mineral and other essential nutrients derived from food sources are better absorbed and more bioavailable than nutrients from non-food sources. Whole food vitamins & minerals contain a wide variety of phytonutrients, essential cofactors, natural enzymes, and other metabolites that help enhance nutrient digestion, absorption, and bioavailability.

Not Just Greens   Only Cruciferous Greens. The sprouted cruciferous greens in Phood provide a deep reservoir of potent sulfurous antioxidant compounds such as sulforaphane, glucosinolates, and isothiocyanates. Sprouted cruciferous greens lower both plasma glucose and insulin levels, helping to prevent sugar highs and crashes.

Doctor’s Best: Natural Vision Enhancers

Buy Best Natural Vision Enhancers, Eye Health, 60 Softgels, Doctor's Best

 

 

A Blend of Nutrients to Support the Eyes*

Doctor’s Best has introduced Best Natural Vision Enhancers into its dietary supplement line. Scott Steinford, president of Doctor’s Best, made the announcement. This product is available in a bottle of 60 softgels, each providing Omega-3 fatty acids combined with L-Taurine and the carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin.

Best Natural Vision Enhancers offers nutrients that are integral to eye structure and healthy ocular function.* The formula features Lutemax®, a superior carotenoid ingredient sourced from marigold flowers that combines lutein with enhanced levels of zeaxanthin isomers. The formula also incorporates the amino acid taurine, which is particularly abundant in the retina of the eye. Best Natural Vision Enhancers also includes omega-3 fatty acids, with standardized amounts of the important long-chain docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids (DHA & EPA) from fish oil triglycerides.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are not synthesized by the body, yet they are the only carotenoids present in the lens and macular region of the retina, suggesting that dietary intake is vital to the maintenance of healthy eye structure and function.* Taurine supports the retinal vision processes.* DHA is a major component of the retina, and EPA may influence retinal function as a precursor to signaling molecules. Numerous human studies suggest the importance of these nutrients for vision and eye health.*

* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Quest Nutrition Protein Bar

Quest Bars were designed for anyone who cares about good nutrition and a leaner body. That’s really all it takes to become part of the Quest Team. It doesn’t matter what your specific Quest is, just that you have one. So, whether you’re trying to lose a beer belly to pick up more chicks, trying to get SHREDDED and lean for a competition, or you’re looking to add some lean muscle mass so you can whoop Michael Phelps’ ass the next time you see him down at the Y. Quest Bars are going to give you exactly what you need to be successful at any goal you strive for.The funny thing is, there is no big mystery to good nutrition and dieting. Most people know roughly what they should be eating. It’s just that there isn’t much on the market that offers great nutrition, great taste and convenience in one energy bar. So, for those of you looking for a snack that’s actually healthier than your regular meals, Quest has exactly what you’re looking for.

And best of all, you can try Quest Protein Bars risk free. We’re so certain that you’re going to LOVE it, that if you don’t agree that it is the world’s GREATEST protein bar, we’ll give you your money back. Go on, try one. It’s the nutrition bar you’ve been looking for.

Great Taste of Quest Bar
We conducted dozens of large scale blind taste tests after finalizing our formula (and literally hundreds before that to arrive at the formula.) During those tests, participants were given over a dozen of the leading protein and energy bar brands and the Quest Protein Bar came out on top every single time.
So why do so many protein bars taste like fertilizer? Because making it taste great AND be good for you is HARD! We’re not going to lie – it took us years to perfect our recipe. But perfect it we did.

Losing Fat with Quest Bar
If you’re looking to get leaner, our bars let you do just that – with the added convenience of being able to quickly get a meal on the go. Plus, many customer’s have used the world’s easiest diet plan by simply replacing one or more meals with a Quest Bar. It’s the easiest and most delicious way you’ll ever lose body fat.

Quest Bars will also curb your hunger more effectively than most foods. Because they are packed with fiber, you’ll find that they are very filling. The natural fats and proteins will further keep your appetite satisfied for hours – making sure that you can easily stay away from eating higher calorie, less nutritious fare.

Adding Muscles with Quest Bar
If you’re trying to add muscle, about the only thing that everyone can agree on is that you’re going to need protein to do it. Getting in the right amount of protein isn’t easy – especially if you’re on the run or don’t have time to prepare your own meals. Getting in your protein without taking in a lot of extra calories is very difficult if you’re not preparing your own meals and Quest Bars help you get in the protein you need while keeping the calories down . And by almost eliminating carb calories – we help ensure that the pounds you do put on are muscle – not fat.

Adding muscle is hard work but eating Quest Bars will make the job just a bit easier because you’ll actually look forward to eating them.

Natural Alaskan Fish Oils

Feature Items

Pure Alaska Omega Alaskan Omega-3 Fish Oil, 500 mg EPA & DHA, 180 Mini Softgels

pure-alaska-omega-3-100-natural-vitasprings

Pure Alaska Omega 100% Natural Omega-3, Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil 1000 mg, 180 Softgels

Pure Alaska Omega Natural Alaska Salmon Oil is made in on a one-of-a-kind and state of the art processing ship, the Alaskan Venturer, (A/V) using a proprietry and unique cold press oil extraction process.  The A/V operates in the icy cold waters of Alaska during the commercial salmon harvest season enabling them to source the freshest salmon for oil production. Pure Alaska Omega uses exclusively 100% wild Alaska salmon and their raw materials are completely traceable to the day and place of harvest.

Their gentle process allows Pure Alaska Omega to capture many components of a salmon’s oil.  As a result, a balanced ratio of the omega-3 long chain poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA’s) including EPA and DHA as well as all other essential and  “conditionally” essential fatty acids will be present in Pure Alaska Omega.

Pure Alaska Omega is not a miracle cure. It simply helps restore a balance of fat in your body which has been thrown off by our western diet which is so heavy in Omega-6 fatty acids and saturated fats. Almost everyday, researchers find and publish reports on conditions that can be improved by the additon of essential fatty acids (EFA’s) from fish oil.
