Join us on a mission to ban glyphosate for good.
We believe glyphosate shouldn’t be anywhere near our food, nutrients or supplements. In partnership with our sister brand MegaFood, we’re leading the charge to ban glyphosate by calling on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect families.
We’re proud to be the first company to have both our INNATE Response and MegaFood product lines certified glyphosate residue free. What does this certification mean for you?
Well, glyphosate is a chemical in Monsanto’s signature herbicide, Roundup. Yes, weed killer. The World Health Organization's (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic in humans” and has linked its use to lymphoma.1 A growing number of countries are restricting or planning an outright ban on this dangerous chemical. Our certification means that we guarantee our premium supplements are tested free of residue from glyphosate.
Glyphosate shouldn’t be sprayed on crops directly before harvest. Nobody wants to ingest Monsanto’s cancer-causing herbicide. It’s time for the EPA to protect our health and ban the use of glyphosate. We have officially filed a legal petition with the EPA urging them to ban the use of glyphosate on oats - and you can help.
Glyphosate is everywhere, and it’s not just an herbicide. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and mineral chelator, immobilizing nutrients and killing microbial life in the soil. Glyphosate is bad for soil health and bad for people, too. Not only does it affect crops it’s sprayed on, but it could also negatively affect gut health.3
Is weed killer in your supplements?
INNATE Response and MegaFood are both working hard to revolutionize and regenerate our farming system, allowing more people to have access to healthy nutrients - free of glyphosate.
The INNATE Response line of Flora probiotics support healthy gut bacteria,* especially given the ubiquity of glyphosate, which may negatively affect gut health.4
While taking a probiotic alone won't solve the problem, INNATE Response and MegaFood are doing advocacy work that will.
