OUR FOUNDER
Living Nutrition was founded by nutritional therapist Graham Botfield. Using his knowledge of traditional medicines, including the use of herbs and mushrooms in naturopathic medicine and over 12 years experience in product design and formulation, Graham has focused his research on fermented foods and herbs and used their ancient wisdom to create our unique kefir-kombucha fermentation process.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Nature and purity is the backbone of our products. The methods and ingredients we use are traditional and natural and we never use anything chemical or synthetic.
We act with consciousness, utilise ethical practices and we only use certified organic, non-GMO ingredients and sustainable methods.
We are passionately advancing the education and research in activated nutrients through various research programs and we hope to inspire a belief and trust in nature as the most effective tool for health and vitality.
OUR FERMENTATION PROCESS
We ferment our ingredients with a traditional kefir-kombucha style fermentation, using our unique synergy of 35 strains of microorganisms. Once the fermentation is completed we capture the full living food matrix of nutrients, enzymes and microbes using a delicate freeze drying process.
We never use heat, pressure, unnatural processes or unnatural ingredients such as fillers, binders or additives. All of our products are suitable for vegans, celiacs and vegetarians.
Kefir is the original ‘superfood’, highly regarded for its superior nutritional value. Adding kefir grains to a food encourages a deep fermentation process to begin transforming the food into a dense complex of highly bio-available nutrients. Many of these nutrients are unique to kefir fermentation and their remarkable benefits to health have only recently been understood.
OUR RESEARCH
To date we have completed over twenty studies on our products with startling results. Our fermentation process increases the key active nutrients within our foods and herbs and more importantly they become far more bio-available – from their absorption to their utilisation on a cellular level so that you can benefit from their properties quicker and more effectively.
All of our products are alive and living so pick up a bottle, listen closely and discover what our fermented supplements can do for you!
