The Medical Food Difference

Looking for a different disease management approach?

Looking for a different disease management approach? Medical foods are scientifically formulated from extracted or combined food components including macronutrients (protein, fat, carbs), micronutrients (vitamins, minerals), and phytonutrients (beneficial compounds in plants and herbs) to nutritionally support the management of a specific disease or condition, and are to be used under the supervision of a physician or other licensed healthcare practitioner.

A powdered beverage mix or bar may be required to deliver the number, types, and volume of nutrients that define it as a medical food. But that doesn't mean that ordinary nutritional powders or bars can replace medical foods.

The Metagenics medical food difference. Metagenics has been an industry leader in the formulation, manufacture, and testing of medical foods for over 20 years.
