IT'S ALL ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS

(and why Pure Synergy Organics® came to be...)

Since the very beginnings of The Synergy Company™, it has been all about the ingredients. Each and every one of the 60+ ingredients in our very first product, Pure Synergy® superfood, was purposefully and meticulously researched, created and tested over many years. We knew that the power of the finished product relied upon absolutely every component within it being of the highest caliber: pure, bioactive, potent...ALIVE. This same process of perfecting each ingredient has applied to every combination signature product we have created ever since. And so, 35+ years after our inception (and after many customer requests), it seemed like the right time to start to open up our treasure chest and let these unparalleled ingredients speak for themselves, allowing our customers around the world to be able to fully benefit from them. We've taken some of our highly sought after ingredients, each painstakingly created from seed to shelf, and created a brand new standalone line we call Pure Synergy Organics. These fresh and alive powders are like nothing you've ever seen or tasted before. Smooth, fresh flavors literally melt in your mouth. Vibrant colors reflect the nutritional richness captured inside. This versatile collection of pure and simple nutrient-dense powders is certified organic and backed by the Synergy reputation for perfected quality and vitality-and of course is inspired by our obsession to capture the very best of what Mother Nature has to offer in order to positively affect the wellness of our world community.

WHAT SETS OUR PURE SYNERGY ORGANICS® POWDERS APART?

First and foremost, we are 100% involved in every aspect-from seed to soil, to harvesting, processing, and bottling everything at our very own sustainable, award-winning, certified organic facility.

OUR PLEDGE AND COMMITMENTS TO YOU AND OUR ENVIRONMENT

Each of these icons represents a different element of our enduring commitment to the creation of unsurpassed ingredients and our respect for the environment.

When you see these symbols, you can be assured that the product is USDA certified organic by our third-party certifier, Oregon Tilth. "Certified Organic" means the item has been grown according to strict USDA uniform standards, which are verified by independent state and/or private organizations and revolve around the use of sustainable management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony.

When this symbol is present, it means we have deemed it most beneficial to cold-press the ingredient into juice before carefully cold-drying it into a powdered form. Delivering only juice can amplify the nutrient density-a little goes a long way!

We do not add or water down our products with fillers, chemicals, sweeteners, or carriers. Take a look at some of the other products out there and you will see such things as maltodextrin, fibers, rice powder, flavors, etc. These are used to "pad" the products, greatly diminishing their value. Not so with Pure Synergy Organics-pure and simple all the way!

The key to preserving the life force and nutritional benefits of a fresh ingredient is to use the perfect drying and processing method. Our founder's original years of research in the 1970s at UCLA Medical Center were dedicated to this very pursuit. As such, we use a variety of exclusive, low temperature, oxygen-free/light-free drying methods that best suits each veggie, fruit, grass, herb, flower, algae, spice or whatever it may be to ensure the finest possible finished product. We also cold-mill all of our ingredients into powder form, which further protects their precious cargo. This is in sharp contrast to the much cheaper and nutrient destructive processes like high-heat spray drying, infrared, radiant, microwave, and drum drying utilized by most companies. These other high-heat and oxidizing methods literally blast out most of the important goodies within and leave the finished product void of vibrant color, void of fresh taste, and void of nutritional potency.

Once our ingredients are cold-processed into powder form, the next challenge is to keep their preserved "life" intact through proper and safe packaging and storage. This is an imperative step that most other companies let fall by the wayside. Our ingredients are hermetically sealed without oxygen in light-impermeable amber glass bottles to ensure that the phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fresh taste are preserved. This also has the added benefit to you and the environment by keeping your "food" away from the detriments of plastic.

We are certified to produce ingredients that are designated Kosher-Parve by Orthodox Union. Our kosher status is another indication of our dedication to meeting quality standards that exceed the industry norms.

All of our Pure Synergy Organics products are gluten-free and processed and packaged in our gluten-free facilities. We test every lot to ensure our products meet strict gluten-free standards.

From day one, we have been 100% committed to a NO GMO Policy, meaning GMOs are not allowed in any of our ingredients, products or facility. This model policy was enacted long before the recent trend and growing consumer awareness. We continue to be dedicated to absolute avoidance of all GMO ingredients. Our certified organic standards disallow the use of any GMO ingredients every step along the way.

OUR DRYING AND PREPARATION METHODS

There is no one size fits all drying method. Each fresh grown ingredient is carefully assessed by Synergy to determine which specialty drying method will best produce a preserved, bioactive, fresh finished powder. The common denominator is the use of low temperatures in an environment that is free of oxygen and light, all elements that have the potential to destroy the vital nutrients within.

Fresh freeze-dried: Freeze-drying is considered the gold standard and is proven to preserve the naturally occurring biochemical "actives" of a substance. By uniquely bypassing the liquid and evaporative state (where destructive reactions can take place quickly) and going from "frozen" to "dried" in an oxygen-free and UV light-free environment, the bioactive particles of a fresh material are immediately locked into a stable matrix, in effect sealed off from the excessive nutrient losses that would normally take place in the much more common drying processes.

Vacuum low temperature-dried: Very similar to our fresh freeze-drying, this is a special, patented low temperature drying process that uses a vacuum to create a low pressure, oxygen-free/light-free, cold environment that maximizes nutrient retention.

CO₂ low temperature-dried: A special low temperature drying process that uses a refrigerated and light-free chamber with natural carbon dioxide to create an oxygen-free, cold environment that maximizes nutrient retention.

Specialty-dried under low heat:For tomatoes, the application of very precise low levels of heat actually optimizes the release of beneficial phytonutrients (like lycopene) when creating our pure tomato juice powder.

OUR SYNERGIZED® PROTOCOL

We have always understood the absolute necessity of keeping a plant's "life force" intact-appreciating that it was the "synergy" of the whole plant that endowed it with its special health-promoting qualities. We discovered that this required unwavering care and attention to the process, down to every last detail-from the special heirloom seeds we plant, the rich organic soil we cultivate and care for, our hard-working organic farmers who grow all of our plants, our uniquely developed harvesting schedule and techniques, our proprietary cold temperature drying techniques, our custom designed cold-milling process, all the way to our vacuum-sealed packaging and 100% cold storage. We call this fastidious set of steps our "Synergized®" process. We are completely committed to following each and every step for all of our products and ingredients, while so many other companies fail to understand that even one misstep or compromise along the way diminishes the essence of what makes the plants so valuable for us all.
