What are the differences between each of the three Zupafoods?

All Zupafoods contain the special Xtend-Life 'Superfood' blend made up of organic fruit extracts, green tea extract and marine calcium. Zupafood GREENZ contains additional organic greens to support digestive health and gently detoxify the body. Zupafood for SKIN contains marine sourced collagen to nourish skin from within. Zupafood ELITE contains the largest array of ingredients with the superfood base blend, organic greens and marine sourced collagen as well as high potency medicinal mushrooms to support energy levels, cardiovascular health, immunity, the libido and to help fight the signs of aging. 

Where are your Organic Medicinal Mushrooms sourced from?

We went to the world's experts in cultivating medicinal mushrooms, M2 Mushrooms in San Marcos, California USA. They cultivate and process certified organic mushrooms. Their experts developed a unique blend of mushrooms just for Xtend-Life that would help achieve the objectives of Zupafood ELITE.

Is Zupafood a meal replacement?

No. Some people may mix it with a smoothie and consider this a 'meal', however it is not designed to offer all the nutrients required as part of a balanced meal.

Can Zupafood be taken together with other Xtend-Life products?

Yes, Zupafood is perfectly safe to be taken at the same time as any of the other Xtend-Life products.

Can I use more than one Zupafood version at the same time?

Absolutely. For example, you may wish to take GREENZ to support your detoxification and digestion, plus SKIN to support your skin health as well. There is no risk of taking too much of any one ingredient in the Zupafood products. 

Should I stop taking Total Balance or Multi-Xtra if I am going to start using Zupafood?

Although Zupafood is packed with nourishing ingredients, it does not contain the complete array of vitamins and minerals you needed from your diet. For this reason we encourage you to keep using Total Balance or Multi-Xtra at the same time as Zupafood. 

Can you overdose on the ingredients in Zupafood?

No, there is no need to feel concerned about taking too much of the ingredients in Zupafood. 

Zupafood ELITE contains wheat and barley grass – are you sure it’s gluten free?

Yes, Zupafood ELITE is gluten free. We have tested both the  wheat and barley grass extracts for the presence of gluten. Results showed that gluten was not detected at 3ppm (parts per million). This level meets the accepted standard for gluten free which is below 20ppm.

Is Zupafood a better choice than Total Balance to provide the ultimate array of ingredients and support for overall health?

Total Balance, as part of our Core Wellness Activators, is the best product available for maintaining overall health. It contains 98 potent vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and micro nutrients and offers gender specific versions for targeted health benefits. However, Zupafood is ideal for people who have trouble digesting or absorbing supplements in tablet form. Zupafood also creates an energizing effect and offers a refreshing way to take in an abundance of nutrients.

If my Zupafood has gone hard in the packet is it still okay to consume?

Yes, it is still fine to consume Zupafood powder even if it has slightly hardened. The efficacy of the product is not affected. Gently shaking or breaking up the contents will allow you to prepare the powder as normal. 

How much Iron is in Zupafood ELITE?

There is a maximum of 2000 ppm of Iron in Aquamin TG which is part of the base blend in all the Zupafood versions, this is equivalent to a maximum of 0.2%.  There is also an additional 1 mg of iron per serving of Zupafood ELITE which is naturally occurring in the other ingredients.

Is Zupafood a good option for people that have difficulty in swallowing tablets, such as the elderly?

Zupafood is perfect for those who have trouble with tablets. Zupafood is especially ideal for elderly people as their appetite and digestive function may begin to wane, making it harder for them to obtain sufficient nutrients through the diet alone.
