Living in bigger cities, typically means smaller living spaces, more people, more pollution and more waste. But that doesn't mean you have to contribute! Check out our article below on ways to become more sustainable.

Balancing Self-sustainability With Urban Living - NutriFusion Cities attract people to live in them for a reason. They are often the focal point of commerce, talent, productivity, mercantilism, society, and culture. They

William Grand, President and CEO of NutriFusion® talks to us about his company’s products and policies.

All of our products are plant-based. Our focus is principally on the nutrition coming from fruits and vegetables although we sometimes use other botanicals.

We preserve the make-up of the vitamins so when they’re introduced into customer products, they’re bioactive and bioavailable. Our products deliver vitamins from nature as opposed to synthetic vitamins, which have a very poor track record.

When we first started, our focus was on human food. We then branched out into food, beverage, pet, and nutraceuticals.

Interestingly enough, the pet food industry grasped our concept quite early on – these companies are totally focused on the health, nutrition, and welfare of our pets.

When it comes to food for humans, consumer packaged groups (CPGs) focus on getting the largest market share. For us, the real focus is what our product delivers to the customer and the health and welfare of humans.

Since the pandemic, we’ve seen a huge shift in attitudes towards health and well being and many human food companies have approached us wanting to jump on the bandwagon.

We’ve developed a process that allows us to stabilize nutrients and prevent them from oxidizing. Imagine taking a bite of an apple, putting it down, and returning 15 minutes later, to find the apple turning brown. The nutrients are leaving the apple and over a period of time, there won’t be any nutritional value left at all.

Our product stabilizes this reaction. We also have the ability to concentrate it. When we deliver it to a customer, it’s very reliable and has a 24-month shelf life. We blend different fruits and vegetables together to create particular nutritional profiles. It could be a custom blend for a particular customer or one of our standard blends.

Our main focus is on R&D and product developers, although our product may be specified and may go to a contract packer for manufacturing.

Have you encountered any hurdles due to negative attitudes toward processed food?

On the contrary, we make processed foods healthier! We deliver plant-based nutrition into manufactured products and work with food manufacturing companies to enhance processed foods. The technology we have is unique.

Let’s take a lasagna for example. Our product will likely be used in the retail sector, but not in the food-service sector as there’s less scrutiny and ingredients don’t have to be listed.

Our product can go into the sauce, or it can be directly incorporated into the pasta at the time it’s being made. Our product is versatile and can be added to many different products. It’s also very heat resistant and doesn’t degrade over time.

Our significant competitor is synthetic vitamins due to the fact that they’re cheap. But they also have many issues and don’t work as well. The chemical structure of synthetics is different from the chemical structure of plant-based nutrition. Our bodies know how to absorb the nutrients from plants but not synthetics.

Companies have tried to mimic nature but with little or no success. Synthetic vitamins are poorly absorbed by the body and so much of the money you spend on them is wasted. The bioavailability and the biosorption of our products allow the body to take whatever it needs and deliver the nutrition.

There’s a term called oxidative stress. Over time, oxidation (which happens to every cell of our body) creates free radicals that eventually form clusters in our body. This is the precursor to causing chronic disease. The antioxidants help neutralize oxidative stress and free radicals. This is why bioavailability and biosorption are so crucial.

We’ve won an award for the last two years where we ranked #53 of the top 500 companies worldwide in AgriFood Technology. This is because our technology and product are unique.

The pandemic really boosted company growth as the whole world turned to health and nutrition. This isn’t a simple fad or trend; it’s here to stay, hopefully forever.
