What is a superfood? This catchy term, with many origin stories and various definitions, is generally understood to mean foods containing exceptional levels of phytonutrients associated with good health. It’s almost universally applied to healthy foods from bananas to brown rice, but in our opinion, this loose description diminishes its true meaning.
All whole, natural foods provide quality nutrients for our health, but if they’re all super, none of them are! Not everyone’s a superhero (and that’s ok!) – and not every nutritious grain, vegetable, or fruit is a superfood. Superfoods hold a special energy - a life force that complements our own. And with this next-level nutrition comes extraordinary capacities for supporting our bodies’ restoration, renewal, and resilience.
Treasures Discovered Through Tragedy
What’s behind our reverence for superfoods? Only the origin and purpose of Pure Synergy®! Our fearless founder, Mitchell May, is a testament to the healing wisdom and potential of these incomparable gifts of nature.
At the peak of his youth, Mitchell was involved in a near-fatal car accident that broke more than 40 bones, severed vital nerves, and caused severe internal injuries. So dire was his condition, that he was told he would never walk again. Conventional doctors advised that amputation was the best option, despite the fact that to do so would compromise Mitchell’s mobility, immune system, and overall health for the rest of his life.
Against this pessimistic prognosis, Mitchell sought the only alternative: healing. And so began his relentless journey studying with traditional healers, herbalists, nutritionists, naturopaths, Chinese medicine doctors, Ayurvedic practitioners, and Western medical doctors to gain knowledge and insight on how to enhance the body’s ability to heal itself. It’s through this pursuit that Mitchell discovered superfoods.
Within four years, Mitchell had proven every medical expert wrong, regaining the use of his legs and filled with new vitality. And with a passion and compassion that only comes from experience, he continues his lifelong quest through Pure Synergy®, inviting all of us to receive the best of the natural world and live with maximum energy and well-being.
Superfoods for Superior Wellness
It was on his healing journey that Mitchell discovered the life-giving nourishment of superfoods. Advanced laboratory methods now show that superfoods are brimming over with phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds that promote optimal cellular function and renewal, uphold metabolic and hormonal rhythms, and enhance immune health. These key activities are the foundational basis of everyday wellness and lasting longevity.
Maintaining a state of balanced health relies on the body’s ongoing mechanisms of protection, repair, and regeneration that renew and restore our daily vitality. And the same goes for plants! We might be a bit more complex (tell me about it), but like plants, we too are connected to the earth. Before modern healthcare was even a concept, centuries of botanical tradition revered the healing power of plants.
Superfoods come from the richest lifeblood of the land and sea. Sprouts and grasses, roots and mushrooms, algae and seaweed, fruits and flowers, each with a unique profile of nourishing benefits for mind, body, and spirit. Ingredients derived from these whole, pure foods are concentrated with the polyphenols, terpenes, polysaccharides, and more that have been shown to optimize whole-body health.
Everyday Benefits for Every Body
Our founder’s formula was birthed and designed to promote profound healing, but its comprehensive and powerful nourishment is also destined to deliver optimal wellness to even the healthiest among us. Organic Superfood’s summative assets are endless, but we’ve woven these intentional benefits into this unsurpassed product to help every person discover superior well-being:

- Encourages the body’s natural detoxification and elimination processes
- Provides a bountiful source of nutrients to amplify a healthy diet

The Utmost Purity & Synergy
Individual superfoods are impressive on their own, but it turns out they’re even better together. Perhaps the most valuable treasure that Mitchell unearthed during his journey of research and recovery was that many bioactive plant compounds form synergistic teams that help protect and support cells and tissues. Plant phytonutrients form antioxidant combos that not only contribute to fighting oxidative cellular stress, they also work together to enhance digestion and boost our innate detoxification pathways. Incredibly, they can also help balance the neurotransmitters that promote mental clarity and mood stability.
Consuming superfoods alone is bound to have benefits, but when combined in specific amounts and proportions, their ability to nourish the whole person is magnified. And doesn’t that make sense? Just a glance at the natural world shows the cooperation of plants and animals for mutual benefit. Each species relies on a give-and-take to grow, survive, and thrive.
Speaking of nature, the soil beneath that synergy is also key. Superfoods are at their peak potential when grown within their native ecosystem in ways that harness the ideal resources and climate. And preserving that richness also relies on careful harvesting and handling to maximize the potent nourishment of superfoods. These critical principles inform how we source and produce all of our organic, Super Pure® ingredients to ensure our products work.
Rooted in an ancient Chinese recipe of adaptogenic herbs that uplift vitality and restore natural balance to every system of the body, an even more comprehensive formula was born. Expanding the breadth of botanicals to include deep nourishment from land and sea, plus the immune-strengthening prowess of mushroom mycelia, Pure Synergy®’s Organic Superfood is the apex of Mitchell’s quest to find healing for himself and others.
