HARNESSING THE POWER OF PLANTS
It is estimated that there are over 20,000 species of edible plants in the world. FutureCeuticals researchers selected 11 broad-spectrum superfoods to develop Phyto-C®, a plant-based, powerful antioxidant complex that provides vitamin C, polyphenols, and phytochemicals that protect from free radicals for ultimate hair health.
Acerola Extract: This evergreen shrub with bright red fruit is native to the subtropical area of Yucatan, México. Its high content of Vitamin C promotes hair health, reduces hair loss, and improves hair growth.
Blueberry, Strawberry, Maqui Berry, Açai, Tart Cherry: A perfect fusion of dark berries and fruits that contain anthocyanins to help protect against free radicals.
Kale, Broccoli: These millennial Mediterranean greens deliver vitamin C, sulforaphane, folate, and other nutrients.
Green Tea Extract, Green Coffee Bean Extract, Turmeric Extract: A subtropical blend of powerful seeds, rhizomes, and leaf extracts that provide catechins, chlorogenic acid, and curcuminoids which help protect from free radicals.
PRESERVING NATURE
In order to preserve the benefits of these ingredients, FutureCeuticals uses an excellent, high-quality drying method.
Drum drying, a process that makes it possible to maintain the nutritional value of raw ingredients is the core of the Phyto-C® formula. During the drum drying process, pureed raw ingredients must be quickly dried using the lowest possible temperatures. The superfoods are placed over a pair of large, rotating drums, then milled by the sheet into flakes or powders to later be easily and quickly reconstituted.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Quality is key to every ingredient, which is why FutureCeuticals takes great measures to provide world-class products.
Their in-house clinical laboratory partners work closely with world-class research institutes and universities in order to provide the requisite substantiation necessary for highest quality products.
All Van Drunen Farms facilities are Certified Kosher by the Orthodox Union (OU), Organic approved by Quality Assurance International (QAI), HACCP, and GMP, FDA and USDA compliant and include Annual audits by British Retail Consortium (BRC) for their Quality Control program.
