For 25 years, Bluebonnet has created supplements as close to nature as possible. Today, Bluebonnet has more farm-to-table, whole food and whole food-based products – with sustainable USDA Organic ingredients – than ever. Many are allergen-free and KOF-K kosher certified. And with the growing demand for products without genetically modified organisms (GMOs), many are made with non-GMO ingredients whenever they are available. In fact, all Bluebonnet products with the USDA Organic seal are also non-GMO based on the requirements of that seal. However, for those products that aren’t USDA Organic, Bluebonnet has established an internal non-GMO standard. This rigorous verification process scrutinizes the origins of both dietary and other ingredients and in every formula. The “Made with NON-GMO Ingredients” symbol on
the bottle is our guarantee that those Bluebonnet supplements are derived from sources that have never been genetically modified through the use of modern biotechnology.

Life isn’t about facts and figures. It’s about good health. Strong relationships. Moments that take our breath away. It’s that inner power that gives life true meaning.

Since 1991, Bluebonnet has found inner power in the best that nature and science have to offer – uniting them in a way that is innovative, honest, and sustainable. This inner power ensures that Bluebonnet provides the most pure, potent, high-quality natural nutritional supplements available. It also leads to healthier, more fulfilling lives – for us as a company, as well as for you, our customer. This inner power is evidence of our passion for living. It cannot be measured, only experienced … inside every Bluebonnet supplement.

MegaFood’s Non-GMO Commitment

MegaFood is Non-GMO.

You may already know that MegaFood has a very strong non-GMO commitment. Our products with a lime green non-GMO butterfly seal have the proper documentation to be labeled GMO Free, and we are really proud of this. Our farm partners and suppliers have been required to disclose non-GMO documentation for our ingredients since 2009. We believe strongly in mandatory labeling initiatives, so we carefully selected a group of our products to undergo third-party verification by the Non-GMO Project. The Non-GMO Project is the leading third party verification organization that was founded by independent natural foods retailers in the U.S. and Canada in 2008 (just one year before we started requiring non-GMO documentation for our products).

Our first 5 products to be verified by the Non-GMO Project are: Blood Builder, Wild Blueberry, Magnesium, Calcium and Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium. The Non-GMO Project has also recognized our manufacturing facility in New Hampshire, as compliant for Non-GMO Project Verification. Our shiny new walls are proud to wear this certification.

Non-GMO Project Verification is a pretty big accomplishment for supplement companies like us. Our vitamins contain many different ingredients (as many as one-hundred in one product — yeah 100!). Part of the process for Non-GMO Project verification requires us to provide multiple pieces of documentation for each ingredient – that could be as many as 200 documents per product, talk about a paper trail! These forms certify that the ingredients we use in our products are pure and free of GMOs. The certification goes deep – literally – down to the soil in which some of our fruits and vegetables are grown. When you compare a supplement containing one-hundred ingredients to a product, such as a baked good which may have up to ten ingredients (or a corn-chip which has three… yup, corn-chips have 3 ingredients: corn, oil, salt), you can clearly see the level of complexity and the time needed for review. This makes the verification commitment very time consuming for both supplement companies like us and the Non-GMO Project.

Non-GMO is rapidly becoming the new “standard” in consumable manufacturing and we are very proud to be part of this movement. We have formed the Non-GMO Working Group, a team of dietary supplement manufacturers who work together to source non-GMO ingredients and support non-GMO farmers – think of us like a group of superheroes… ya’ know like; Batman, Iron Man, Wonder Woman and everyone in between – all working together for one cause. As a unified group we have a larger influence over ingredient suppliers and farmers to provide upfront documentation for non-GMO verification. Additionally, as we continue our commitment to clearly label our products as non-GMO we are financially supporting other mandatory labeling initiatives like Prop 37 in California and I-522 in Washington state.

We have additional products that are in the process of being verified, and by working closely with our farmers, suppliers, and similar like-minded supplement manufacturers (the superhero gang) we are taking large strides to improve the process of verification with the Non-GMO Project. Keep an eye out for more MegaFood Non-GMO Project Verified products in the future! And thank you for supporting the cause!
