Yes, PlantFusion is free of all the major food allergens (milk, eggs, fish [e.g., bass, flounder, cod], Crustacean shellfish [e.g., crab, lobster, shrimp], tree nuts [e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans], peanuts, wheat [gluten], and soybean) as identified in the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004.

DOES PLANTFUSION CONTAIN GMO (GENETICALLY MODIFIED) INGREDIENTS?

No, the ingredients used to formulate PlantFusion have all been carefully chosen through our Select Source™ process to ensure authenticity. PlantFusion has been tested and confirmed non-GMO through the Non-GMO Project.

DOES PLANTFUSION HAVE ANY CERTIFICATIONS?

In addition, PlantFusion is certified as being Non-GMO through the Non-GMO Project.

ARE THE PLANTFUSION PRODUCTS ORGANIC?

Many of the ingredients in our PlantFusion products are organic but in order to receive an organic certification; ninety-five percent of the ingredients must be organically certified. While we use only the finest quality, natural and wild harvested ingredients, the process to reach that threshold is already in process and should be attainable in the future. However, we do offer our several products that are fully USDA Organic.

HOW LONG CAN PLANTFUSION BE STORED? WHAT IS ITS BEST USED BY DATE?

PlantFusion is formulated so that is has a Best Used By date of 24 months from the time of its manufacture; provided that it is in a closed container. A date code is printed at the bottom of the container to indicate the month and year (MM/YY) by when it is best used. For example, if the date code reads 06/15, that means that this product is best used before June of 2015.

IS PLANTFUSION TESTED FOR HEAVY METALS?

Yes, we do indeed do third party testing on all our PlantFusion products. There’s been a whole lot of attention lately on heavy metals in nutritional supplements. Particularly those products on the market containing brown rice and/or brown rice syrup. In the early development of PlantFusion, we found through our own research and testing that brown rice protein typically had levels of certain heavy metals (namely lead, arsenic and cadmium) that were many times higher than our other plant protein sources. Because of this, and a few other factors, we opted to take brown rice out of all of our formulas and continue to test for heavy metals within our products to ensure safety and efficacy.

WHAT SWEETENERS DOES PLANTFUSION USE? ARE THEY NATURAL OR ARTIFICIAL?

PlantFusion is now sugar free, as there are no added sugars within any product. We only use the finest and most natural sweeteners available in the world. Through our Flavor Pure™ process we have created the perfect balance of sweetness using Lucuma, Luo Han Guo, Yacon Root, and Stevia.

WHERE IS THE SODIUM COMING FROM IN PLANTFUSION?

The sodium in PlantFusion is naturally occurring and comes from our proprietary blend of proteins. It is not sodium chloride that has been added to the product.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE AMINO ACID INFUSED PROTEIN BLEND IN PLANTFUSION?

The Amino Acid infused Protein blend is a proprietary blend of pea, artichoke, sprouted organic amaranth, and sprouted organic quinoa proteins that are fortified with glutamine and The branch chain amino acids and glutamine are added to the existing 21 gram PlantFusion protein blend to create a protein supplement that is easy to digest but still offers superior overall amino acid content when compared to other proteins (including whey and soy).

IS PLANTFUSION EASY ON THE STOMACH? WHY?

A: Yes, PlantFusion is easy on the stomach. It is fortified with 100mg blend of Bromelain and Alpha-Galactosidase, which provides added support for the digestion, absorption and bioavailability of all of the essential components.

WHY ENZYMES?

Enzymes, Bromelain and Alpha-Galactosidase assist with digestion. Most legumes (like peas) contain starches that cause bloating and gas in many people. While these starches are naturally separated from the proteins in PlantFusion in its manufacturing processes, there still could be some trace amounts. Alpha-Galactosidase breaks down the remaining traces of starch to ensure easy digestion in even the most sensitive stomachs. Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme from pineapple, helps to digest protein so the body can utilize it properly.

HOW LONG WILL PLANTFUSION STAY FRESH AFTER MIXING IT?

While PlantFusion will stay fresh for many hours after mixing; it is best to consume the liquid within twenty minutes after preparation because the fibers in PlantFusion actually begin to absorb the liquid as it sets. This increase in viscosity (thickness) can grow by as much as 4 times in as little as 20 minutes. This is part of the reason why many people report a satiating effect of feeling full after consuming the product – a key strategy in managing appetite.

WHAT SHOULD I MIX PLANTFUSION WITH?

PlantFusion was originally designed to be mixed in a shaker with water for convenience; however, many people choose to mix it with other things such as almond milk, rice milk, etc. The vanilla also mixes with some juices (mostly citrus).

WHAT IS THE BASE USED IN PLANTFUSION’S FERMENTATION PROCESS?

The medium used in the fermentation process is yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and lactic acid bacteria.

PLANTFUSION’S FERMENTATION PROCESS EXPLAINED

No Carriers: At PlantFusion, our organic fermented line of products use whole foods and ingredients to ensure our fermented vegetables, fruits, and herbs come with their native qualities. This includes ensuring the presence of macro and micronutrients, as well as natural fibers, without additional sugars. Our whole ingredients are organic, natural, clean label, and eco-friendly.

Under Control: Our fermented ingredients are produced using the process of controlled fermentation to avoid unintended consequences by terminating the process with a heat step. Controlled fermentation benefits include longer food preservation by creating an environment that inhibits the growth of bacteria; enhanced flavor; increased nutritional value of certain nutrients that are more bioavailable to the body; and diversity to introduce a greater variety of foods throughout the year by allowing for preservation of seasonal items.

Sticking to Tradition: The fermented items in our catalog use traditional natural methods of fermentation with yeast and lactic acid bacteria to achieve optimal health benefits of whole foods and ingredients. Traditional fermentation methods use specific environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and time-tested processes to ensure safety; promote the growth desirable microorganisms; and prevent the growth of harmful ones.

Raising the Bar for Key Nutrients: Through the reduction of sugars and simple carbohydrates during the traditional fermentation process we can concentrate and, in some cases, standardize key nutrients.
