Our Inspirations

The Olive Tree

The olive tree, a symbol intertwined with the rise of Mediterranean civilizations, has been revered since ancient times, notably by Hippocrates as ‘the great healer,’ and Dioscorides who identified the healthiest oils came from unripe olives, a fact now supported by modern science. Today, the olive tree and its oil, rich in bioactive compounds, are subjects of extensive research by leading institutions, aiming to uncover the full extent of their medicinal benefits, continuing its legacy as a cornerstone of health and wellness in Western culture.

Pomegranate Tree

The pomegranate, an ancient fruit revered throughout history, likely originated in Persia before its cultivation spread across the Mediterranean to as far as China, known there as the “Chinese apple.” Its name, derived from medieval Latin “pomum granatum,” reflects its seeded nature. In ancient Greece, it symbolized rejuvenation and eternal life, a belief echoed by modern research that highlights pomegranate’s preventive potential against heart disease and cancer, two major chronic ailments associated with aging.

Greek Nature

Greece’s rich biodiversity boasts over 6,800 plant species, with 1,400 endemics, making it a treasure trove of natural resources. The native flora, adapted to thrive in the challenging southern climate, produces bioactive molecules for enhanced resistance and regeneration, yielding a wealth of valuable active ingredients. Additionally, this pristine ecosystem provides an ideal sanctuary for native bees, facilitating the creation of their vital active substances.

A Natural Synergy

A Natural Synergy

The olive and pomegranate trees, treasures of the Mediterranean, embody centuries of history and natural healing properties. Their vibrant ecosystems support biodiversity and produce valuable byproducts, used traditionally for their medicinal benefits. Our formulas harness high phenolic olive oil and pomegranate concentrate, drawn from these ancient species, to anchor our Mediterranean-inspired functional foods.

Bioavailability

When we eat, the food is taken into our digestive system. Useful nutrients are then absorbed into our bloodstream and are either stored or used by our cells. Our body is not perfectly efficient, not all the nutrient molecules will be absorbed: some are destroyed in the stomach and intestines, some are excreted back, and some simply just don’t go inside the cells. Bioavailability is a measure of how much a substance is able to access the circulation and reach the target area.

MILESTONE UNIQUENESS:

  • Nutrients from foods are scientifically accepted to be more bioavailable than common supplements.
  • Fat soluble vitamins are more easily absorbed by the body in the presence of fat.
  • When eating real food, you’re not consuming single nutrients, but rather a whole range of vitamins, minerals, co-factors and enzymes that allow for optimal use by the body.

Functional Foods

Functional Foods

Functional food origins date back to the 1980s in Japan with the government-approved Foods for Specified Health Use (FOSHU). Today, functional foods represent a shift towards preventative nutrition and personalized digital health systems, revolutionizing health and nutrition. Unlike common supplements, functional foods offer higher bioavailability due to their bioactive compounds. Produced under strict, innovative protocols, these foods maximize antioxidants, minerals, and nutrients. At MILESTONE, our liquid functional foods provide the highest bioavailability, enhancing health naturally and deliciously.

Nutrigenomics
Food for Your Genes

The study of how food affects a person’s genes and how a person’s genes affect the way the body responds to food. Nutrigenomics is used to learn more about how genes and diet together may affect a person’s health and risk of developing chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases.

The dramatic scientific advances of the Human Genome Project—the mapping of the entire human genome—are revolutionizing the way we think about health, illness, and disease prevention. Nutrigenomics revolutionize our understanding of nutrition and how people differ in their response to nutrients, which makes it one of the most promising projects in human history.
