How Are Your Formulas Different from Extracts or Capsules?
There’s a crucial difference between functional foods and supplements — and it’s not just form. Our MILESTONE® formulas are whole, synergistic, and biologically active. Extracts and capsules often isolate one compound. We preserve the full food matrix — polyphenols, cofactors, enzymes, and fat-soluble nutrients — the way nature designed it.
Capsules are convenient, but their ingredients are frequently synthetic or stripped from their natural context. Our formulas, by contrast, are real food — concentrated and optimized — that your body recognizes and uses efficiently.
Why Functional Foods Work Differently
- Natural food synergy: Our products contain a full spectrum of nutrients — not just isolated actives.
- Superior bioavailability: Liquid form allows faster absorption compared to compressed tablets or powders.
- Preserved with polyphenols: No synthetic preservatives needed — our own antioxidants protect the formula.
- No synthetic vitamins: All nutrients are either naturally occurring or ethically added in plant-based, bioavailable forms.
- Function meets flavor: Unlike capsules, our formulas taste like real olive or pomegranate — because they are.
That’s the real difference between functional foods and supplements: function isn’t isolated — it’s embedded in nature’s code.
What Research Tells Us
- Whole food matrices improve nutrient absorption and bioactivity compared to isolated compounds 1.
- Polyphenol-rich functional foods influence gene expression pathways (e.g., NRF2, AMPK) more effectively than extracts alone 2.
- Micronutrients delivered via fat-rich matrices (like olive oil) show enhanced absorption of vitamin D, E, and curcuminoids 3.
Summary: Real Food Works Smarter
We don’t extract — we preserve. Our functional foods work with your biology, not around it. That’s what sets MILESTONE® apart from typical capsules and isolated supplements.
Tip: Think of our formulas as food that supplements — not supplements disguised as food.
