Our Commitment to Regenerative Agriculture
Soil quality is depleting at an alarming rate, which is diminishing the nutrient levels of the food grown in it. As a result, most people aren’t getting the nutrients they need from food alone.¹ Regenerative agriculture can help solve this soil crisis, address climate change, & increase nutrient density. We’re working to make regenerative agriculture a reality for a better future.

Proudly Plastic Neutral
We are the first B Corp vitamin and supplement company in North America to become Plastic Neutral Certified by rePurpose Global. Through this partnership, MegaFood has funded the recovery of 400,000 lbs of nature-bound plastic waste since 2022, which is equivalent to ~10 million plastic bottles. For every pound of plastic our brand generates, rePurpose Global will remove an equivalent amount of additional, verified plastic waste from the environment.
