Yes, PlantFusion is free of all the major food allergens (milk, eggs, fish [e.g., bass, flounder, cod], Crustacean shellfish [e.g., crab, lobster, shrimp], tree nuts [e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans], peanuts, wheat [gluten], and soybean) as identified in the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004.
No, the ingredients used to formulate PlantFusion have all been carefully chosen through our Select Source™ process to ensure authenticity. PlantFusion has been tested and confirmed non-GMO through the Non-GMO Project.
All PlantFusion products are produced in a facility that has been certified as being compliant with all Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) by NSF International, a world leader in third party audits and certifications, and the Natural Products Association. In addition, PlantFusion is certified as being Non-GMO through the Non-GMO Project.
Many of the ingredients in our PlantFusion products are organic but in order to receive an organic certification; ninety-five percent of the ingredients must be organically certified. While we use only the finest quality, natural and wild harvested ingredients, the process to reach that threshold is already in process and should be attainable in the future. However, we do offer our Organic Fermented SuperFoods and Complete Organic Protein which are both fully USDA Organic.
PlantFusion is formulated so that is has a Best Used By date of 24 months from the time of its manufacture; provided that it is in a closed container. A date code is printed at the bottom of the container to indicate the month and year (MM/YY) by when it is best used. For example, if the date code reads 06/15, that means that this product is best used before June of 2015.
Yes, we do indeed do third party testing on all our PlantFusion products. There’s been a whole lot of attention lately on heavy metals in nutritional supplements. Particularly those products on the market containing brown rice and/or brown rice syrup. In the early development of PlantFusion, we found through our own research and testing that brown rice protein typically had levels of certain heavy metals (namely lead, arsenic and cadmium) that were many times higher than our other plant protein sources. Because of this, and a few other factors, we opted to take brown rice out of all of our formulas and continue to test for heavy metals within our products to ensure safety and efficacy.
PlantFusion is now sugar free, as there are no added sugars within any product. We only use the finest and most natural sweeteners available in the world. Through our Flavor Pure™ process we have created the perfect balance of sweetness using Lucuma, Luo Han Guo, Yacon Root, and Stevia.
The sodium in PlantFusion is naturally occurring and comes from our proprietary blend of proteins. It is not sodium chloride that has been added to the product.
The Amino Acid infused Protein blend is a proprietary blend of pea, artichoke, sprouted organic amaranth, and sprouted organic quinoa proteins that are fortified with glutamine and The branch chain amino acids and glutamine are added to the existing 21 gram PlantFusion protein blend to create a protein supplement that is easy to digest but still offers superior overall amino acid content when compared to other proteins (including whey and soy).
A: Yes, PlantFusion is easy on the stomach. It is fortified with 100mg blend of Bromelain and Alpha-Galactosidase, which provides added support for the digestion, absorption and bioavailability of all of the essential components.
Enzymes, Bromelain and Alpha-Galactosidase assist with digestion. Most legumes (like peas) contain starches that cause bloating and gas in many people. While these starches are naturally separated from the proteins in PlantFusion in its manufacturing processes, there still could be some trace amounts. Alpha-Galactosidase breaks down the remaining traces of starch to ensure easy digestion in even the most sensitive stomachs. Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme from pineapple, helps to digest protein so the body can utilize it properly.
PlantFusion prides itself on always being open, honest and transparent about our carefully selected natural wholefood ingredient process and product purity. PlantFusion is the only family of plant-based products that has a proprietary Select Source™ process, Flavor Pure™ natural taste profile, and a Purity Promise™ that guarantees ingredient integrity and transparency:
All PlantFusion Complete products can be taken anytime, day or night. It can be used in the morning as a great way to start the day or after exercise to replenish and recover lost nutrients. Because of its high protein content it can also be used in between or before meals for appetite control or simply to maintain a steady stream of nutrients throughout the day.
PlantFusion is made primarily from natural food sources similar to those you would find in a well - balanced diet. While negative interactions are unlikely; you should always consult with your doctor regarding questions about medications that you might be taking. If your doctor has inquires, they can contact our dedicated technical support line at 1-800-519-6266.
While PlantFusion will stay fresh for many hours after mixing; it is best to consume the liquid within twenty minutes after preparation because the fibers in PlantFusion actually begin to absorb the liquid as it sets. This increase in viscosity (thickness) can grow by as much as 4 times in as little as 20 minutes. This is part of the reason why many people report a satiating effect of feeling full after consuming the product – a key strategy in managing appetite.
PlantFusion was originally designed to be mixed in a shaker with water for convenience; however, many people choose to mix it with other things such as almond milk, rice milk, etc. The vanilla also mixes with some juices (mostly citrus).
PlantFusion is low-glycemic and has tested negative for the 8 major food allergens. It contains whole food based ingredients; many of which you would find in a very well balanced diet. While PlantFusion was designed to be taken by the average person, if you have any concerns about how it may affect your health or the affects it may have on your medications or treatments; it is always best to consult with your primary health care professional and provide the toll free number, 1-800-519-6266, for any questions that need to be answered.

PlantFusion contains ingredients you would find in a typical plant based diet. Many women use it through pregnancy and breastfeeding, which is great! There are no harsh chemicals or artificial ingredients within our products. We do always advise to also check with your doctor before starting a new supplement regimen.
PlantFusion is formulated with foods you would typically find in a plant based diet and is designed for anyone to take, but we do advise to check with your doctor before implementing a protein regimen with a child. PlantFusion is safe for children, but they do not need a full serving amount that adults do. Depending on the child’s weight, they typically would need 1/3 or 1/2 of the serving size. Children aged 3-11 typically only need about 11g-19g of protein per day, depending on their weight and health needs, which can be achieved through food and/or protein supplementation.
Collagen peptides are a low-grade form of protein. A by-product of meat production (the leftover hides and joints). Collagen Builders are very different. They are typically a blend of natural amino acids and botanical ingredients that influence your body's own ability to produce collagen.
Ecolean™ is a unique source of yellow pea protein found in the hills of northern France that shows unprecedented levels of protein, electrolytes, and key amino acids. It’s the only plant-protein with a clinical study to show that it curbs hunger 35% better than whey protein.
ModCarb™ is a proprietary blend of six organic grains (Oat, Amaranth, Quinoa, Buckwheat, Millet, and Chia) which provide complex carbohydrates rich in beta-glucans. Unlike simple sugars or maltodextrin, ModCarb‘s complex carbohydrate structure allows it to release glucose (the body’s primary fuel source) at a much more natural pace and rhythm for sustained energy. This has the potential to minimize sudden cravings and/or energy dips during a typical daily routine. The technology used to create ModCarb™ won an International Food Technology award in 2013. Currently PlantFusion LEAN and PlantFusion Phood are the only two products you will find in premium natural specialty stores that contain this ingredient.
ChromeMate® is a unique, patented niacin-bound chromium complex. Clinical research shows that ChromeMate® is superior to every other form of chromium for blood sugar control, and maintaining healthy body weight.
Banaba leaf is an extract of leaves from the tropical banaba tree. It has been used for thousands of years in India and the Philippines to naturally treat diabetes and low blood sugar levels. Corosolic acid, the active ingredient in banaba leaf, has been shown to inhibit carbohydrate digestion resulting in a reduction in blood sugar. In fact, some studies have shown that it can help lower blood sugar within sixty minutes.
Erythritol is a naturally occurring sweetener found in small amounts in grapes, melons, and mushrooms. It has only 0.2 calories per gram which is 95% fewer calories than sugar. It does not affect blood sugar or insulin levels and has a glycemic index rating of zero. Erythritol is unique because it is metabolized differently than many other sugars because its molecular structure is much smaller. Due to its small molecular size, only 90% gets absorbed into the bloodstream while the rest is naturally eliminated. Because only 10% actually reaches the large intestine; erythritol doesn’t cause the gastric distress that is attributable to many other low caloric sugars.
The fiber blend contains soluble fiber that can slow the absorption of sugar and help improve blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels are controlled, it can tend to be more filling than low-fiber foods, so you're likely to have a maintained satiety. Soluble fiber absorbs excess liquid in the colon, preventing diarrhea by forming a thick gel and adding bulk as it passes intact through the stomach.
Based on the clinical study, it’s best to take Lean 30 minutes prior to meals, however, it can be taken anytime day or night for appetite control. It can also be used in the morning as a great way to start the day or after exercise to replenish and recover lost nutrients.
Lean is formulated so that is has a Best Used By date of 24 months from the time of its manufacture; provided that it is in a closed container. A date code is printed at the bottom of the container to indicate the month and year (MM/YY) by when it is best used. For example, if the date code reads 06/20, that means that this product is best used before June of 2020.

Erythritol is made from simple mono-saccharides like xylose or ribose which are found in plants. These sugar rich substrates then go through a gentle enzymatic/fermentation process that produces a crystal which is 99.5% pure and without the negative health effects.
The whole food vitamins/minerals in Meal are sourced naturally from organic Guava, Lemon, Sesbania (West Indian Pea), Amla (Indian Gooseberry), Holy Basil, and Annatto. These plants and fruits were specifically chosen because of their rich vitamin and mineral content. Together they supply not only a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals but all the naturally occurring constituents such as enzymes and phytonutrients that are present as well. Consequently no fermentation or synthesizing is required as is the case with chemically isolated USP type vitamins and minerals. The plants and fruits are simply dried, milled and analyzed to verify nutrient content. The plant material is then carefully proportioned to the level needed to make 1 kilogram of vitamin/mineral concentrate. For example, it takes 55 kilograms of the Amla plant just to provide the Vitamin C content for one kilogram of the vitamins/mineral blend used in Meal.

The source of vitamin D3 in Meal comes from Lichen, pronounced (lik-en). Lichen is a complex organism that is formed through the interaction of algae and a mushroom like organism in areas along the sea coast, desert and even the Arctic tundra. It is a natural vegan source of Vitamin D3.
The Land & Sea EFA blend in Phood contains EFA’s from three different plant sources which includes flax, algae, and sunflower. Delivered in this natural whole food state, the blend not only yields balanced levels of omega 3-6-9, but also valuable phytonutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin. It is then tested by gas chromatography to ensure that the total level of EFA’s in each serving of Meal meets or exceeds label claim.

PlantFusion Complete Organic is a complete protein blend with naturally occurring amino acids. The product has a total of 20 grams of protein. The organic fermented food portion of the formula consists of organic, sprouted lentil, millet, chia and flax. These ingredients are fermented with natural living starter cultures (the same ones used to create probiotics). During this proprietary fermentation process, many different strains of probiotics and enzymes are cultivated in their natural whole food state. When added to the concentrated plant proteins, this unique fermented blend actively breaks down the proteins into shorter peptides and amino acids for an easily digested and highly bioavailable nutrient source that is more efficiently utilized by the body.
Yes, PlantFusion Complete Organic is easy on the stomach. It is the first protein shake specifically designed to enhance digestion. This is relative to the active cultures in our unique fermented food blend which helps to optimize the balance of flora in your digestive tract for better overall digestive health. The active cultures found in the organic fermented, sprouted food blend which has a broader range of beneficial bacteria to support digestion in a way that you can actually feel. PlantFusion Organic is also fortified with 100 mg blend of Bromelain and Alpha-Galactosidase, which provides added support for the digestion, absorption and bioavailability of all of the essential components.
Anytime that you formulate with a live, active culture, as you find in our fermented food blend, it is important to preserve the good cultures but at the same time, prevent the growth of bad cultures. Generally, bad cultures are prevented by using preservatives or high heat processing. We are able to stabilize our cultures with sea salt – nature’s natural preservative.
The sodium in PlantFusion Complete Organic is naturally occurring and comes from our proprietary blend of proteins, as well as a tiny amount coming from the added sea salt. It is approximately 11% of the daily value per serving.
The Amino Acid Profile is a proprietary blend of Organic pea, Organic sprouted amaranth, Organic sprouted quinoa and Organic flax seed proteins. The end result is a protein supplement that is easy to digest but still offers superior overall amino acid content when compared to other proteins (including whey and soy).
Our new Organic represents major improvements over the original PlantFusion protein. The new version is USDA certified Organic and completely sugar free. It also has a fermented food blend that is specifically designed to maximize the digestion and absorption of the protein. No other protein shake, including our original PlantFusion, has this unique feature.
The new Fermented version is USDA certified Organic, sugar free, and contains a fermented food blend that is specifically designed to maximize the digestion and absorption of the protein. No other protein shake, including our original PlantFusion, has this unique feature. The added benefits, unique ingredients and organic standards all contribute to a slightly higher cost.
