Mega Food is a supplement company, founded in 1973, that sells a variety of natural food supplements. These products vary in function and ingredients, but are all derived from whole foods. The company's official website explains that Mega Food supplements are based upon principles of modern and traditional medicine.

Mineral Products

Many of Mega Food's supplements provide essential minerals to improve overall health or prevent specific conditions. Such products include Blood Builder, which includes the mineral iron, which is found in red blood cells and helps carry oxygen; and Calcium, which supports bone health.

Vitamin Products

Mega Food produces a variety of vitamin supplements, some of which contain just one vitamin, while others provide multiple vitamins. In addition to comprehensive once-daily vitamin products, Mega Food offers specific vitamin blends, such as Balanced B-Complex and Skin, Nails & Hair, which contains vitamins C and E.

Weight Loss Products

Some of Mega Food's supplements are intended to aid in weight loss and weight management. These products include a thyroid support formula and a chromium supplement. Although chromium is purported to promote weight loss by enabling your body to use sugar more efficiently, MayoClinic.com explains that chromium has not been proven to produce such effects.

Organ Support

Mega Food produces a number of supplements that are intended to promote optimal health in specific organs. These supplements include Mega Foods' Liver Strength, Prostate Strength and Vision Strength. Note that none of these supplements are approved for the prevention or treatment of any disease, so consult your doctor when in doubt.

Digestive Health

Several of Mega Foods' supplements are intended for use as digestive health products. These supplements include Gluten & Dairy MegaZymes, High Active Enzymes, MegaFlora and MegaZymes. Many of these products provide enzymes to help break down food in your digestive system.
