We recommend mixing FastBlast Daily in a beverage of your choice or blending into a smoothie. FastBlast Daily does not contain sweeteners or flavorings and has a neutral, natural flavor that takes on the taste of your choice of beverage. When mixing with liquid such as water or juice we recommend using 8-12 oz. of liquid followed by additional water. When mixing in juice, it is recommended to dilute with water since fruit juice can spike blood sugar. For diabetics and those wishing to lose weight, this is especially important. Pour just a couple of ounces of juice in the FastBlast Daily shaker bottle and fill the rest with water. This will be enough juice for flavoring without the additional unwanted calories and possible spike in blood sugar.

Ideally FastBlast Daily should be taken first thing in the morning. If taking a second or more scoops, it’s best to spread them out throughout the day when possible. Always follow by drinking an additional eight ounces of water.

FastBlast Daily can be taken either with food or away from food. Vitamin pills are usually recommend to be taken with food because they are void of many co-factors required to assimilate the nutrition, and synthetic B vitamins can be harsh on the stomach especially taken away from food. FastBlast Daily is fermented whole food nutrition and does not have to be taken with food.

FastBlast Daily mixes well in most any liquid; however, it is not recommended to mix FastBlast Daily in hot beverages (over 114 degrees) as the high temperature may degrade the living probiotics.

Human nutrition is affected by the body's ability to absorb the food, as well as by the bioavailability of the food. Absorption rates may be better or worse, depending upon the individual's capacity to absorb nutrients—which can be determined by the condition of the digestive tract and other factors. Bioavailability is a function of the nutritional element—how ready it is to be digested and assimilated by the body. FastBlast Daily creates the right environment for optimal digestion and provides the nutritional substrate in the optimal form to be digested and assimilated.

FastBlast Daily is micronutrient dense (vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients), not macronutrient dense (carbs, proteins and fats) and contains less than 50 calories. By adding high quality fat such as avocado, flaxseed or coconut and protein such as brown rice protein, pea protein, or hemp protein powder, you’ll enjoy a highly nutritious, high quality, convenient meal.

Fresh juice from fruits and vegetables are filled with very healthy nutrition such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Unfortunately, the vast majority of juice on the market is pasteurized, which is detrimental to the valuable nutrition. Additionally, the average serving (1/2 cup) of fruit juice contains around 30 grams of carbohydrates, which can elevate blood sugar and contribute to weight gain. FastBlast Daily by comparison, is a whole food containing the entire scope of nutrition including fiber and important co-factors. The best analogy is to consider juicing vs. blending. Lets use an apple for example. When you juice an apple in a juicer, what do you produce? Apple juice. What is missing? A lot of fiber, some vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other vital nutrition (depending on the juicing method). Now 

instead of juicing, let's blend the apple in a blender and liquefy it. Now you have the complete nutrition of the apple. When making FastBlast Daily, we start with the whole fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc., and we wash them, dehydrate them (extract the water), then we grind the material down to a powder, ferment, add additional ingredients such as active enzymes, probiotics, minerals and others and then it is packaged for use. The majority of the valuable nutrition is still intact.

Fiber, probiotics and various nutrients in the digestive tract can have varying effects depending on the individual. For some, the bowels may slow, while others might experience a slight laxative effect. This is a normalization process that should moderate over the course of several days or up to two weeks. Be sure to drink plenty of fresh water in addition to other healthy beverages. Also for those who are not accustomed to eating fruits and/or vegetables, there can be an adjustment period in which it may be best to add FastBlast Daily slowly and gradually.

FastBlast Daily helps maintain healthy digestion. The soluble fiber in FastBlast Daily adds bulk to assist movement through the digestive tract. Always drink plenty of water to ensure proper hydration and to avoid any slowing of the bowels due to this increase in fiber. In some rare circumstances, individuals predisposed to upper GI issues may experience minor heartburn when taking FastBlast Daily. Should you experience this symptom, reduce the amount and then increase slowly over time to allow your body to get used to the quality nutrition found in FastBlast Daily. Immediately consult your physician if you experience a negative reaction to FastBlast Daily. We encourage you to consider any diet or nutrition program as an adjunct to your physicians care.

FastBlast Daily is a whole food, so there is no problem with giving it to children. Graduated dosages should be considered for children. Children over 12 can enjoy one scoop per day while children under 12 may enjoy 1/2 scoop per day mixed with their favorite juice or smoothie. Toddlers may enjoy a third of a scoop per day.

FastBlast Daily is vastly different from a greens-based supplement. FastBlast Daily contains a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, beta glucans, minerals, enzymes and probiotics. It is also fermented, and most greens based products are not fermented. If you enjoy taking a green superfood, continue taking it. However, make certain that it is organic. Whole food nutritional supplements are highly concentrated, which means a non-organic product may contain concentrated amounts of toxicity.

FastBlast Daily is perhaps the most comprehensive nutritional matrix ever created. Nevertheless, each of us are biochemically different. There may be individuals in such a depleted state that, in the beginning, additional supplementation may be beneficial. In the US it is estimated that up to 70% of people are deficient in vitamin D and most are deficient in omega 3 fatty acids. Supplementation of these specific nutrients should be carefully considered.

FastBlast Daily is a whole food and in most cases is safe to take with medication. However, if you are taking prescription medication, please check with your physician before taking FastBlast Daily.

We encourage you to seek the advice of your physician regarding any chronic illness or condition. FastBlast Daily is a very comprehensive nutritional supplement designed to bridge the nutritional gap between the Standard American Diet (SAD) and the diets of individuals living in the Longevity Hot Spots. We encouraged you to adapt a healthy lifestyle and nutrition regimen to support your health and include FastBlast Daily to support your overall health.

FastBlast Daily was not formulated specifically to be a weight loss product. However, some people have reported great results. If weight loss is desired, take FastBlast Daily as a meal replacement, snack replacement or consume just before meals. Also if weight loss is desired, be sure to take FastBlast Daily with water or diluted juice, but NOT with a full serving of fruit juice. When weight loss is desired, you should avoid the extra calories and the blood sugar spike that may result when drinking a large volume of fruit juice.  

Yes. 

FastBlast Daily will likely not cause an issue with anyone who is sensitive to gluten, but it does contain a trace amount of gluten. FastBlast Daily contains approximately 20 ppm (parts per million) gluten. This is considered "gluten free" by some certifying agencies, while others consider 10 ppm to be gluten free.

Superfoods are a nutrient-rich foods considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being. FastBlast Daily includes the following superfoods in every serving: black garlic, turmeric, cacao, ginseng, resveratrol, turmeric, green tea extract, ginger, blueberry, chlorella, spirulina, broccoli, spinach, kale, parsley, carrot, cranberry and apple.

Cacao is the bean from which chocolate is derived. Raw cacao has been found to provide strong health benefits, including powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions. Raw cacao powder contains 955 ORAC units per gram. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a rating scale the USDA uses to measure the ability of antioxidants to absorb cell-damaging free radicals. Tryptophan, a naturally occurring substance in cacao, enhances relaxation and promotes better sleep. Researchers have discovered that phenylethylamine (PEA) has a positive effect in enhancing feelings of affection and love. And cacao is an excellent source of PEA. Cacao also contains more magnesium than any other common food. Magnesium is the number one mineral that assists and supports healthy heart functioning. Arginine, the aphrodisiac-like amino acid believed by body builders to build muscle and aid in recovery, also occurs naturally in cacao.

Turmeric is a plant from the ginger family. Various nutritional studies have shown turmeric to have a positive effect on liver and cardiovascular function well as being anti-inflammatory.

Ginseng is an herbal medicine that has been taken for thousands of years as an adaptogen, aphrodisiac, and nourishing stimulant.

FastBlast Daily contains NO soy, yeast, egg, preservatives, MSG, glutamate derivatives, artificial flavoring, salt, starch, dairy and is GMO free. Nevertheless, individuals can be allergic to virtually anything. If you think you are having an allergic reaction to something in FastBlast Daily, stop taking the product immediately. If you are having difficulty breathing, call 911 and get immediate medical attention. If you believe you are having some other reaction and it causes you concern, please discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention. And please consult your physician before taking Fermented Essentials.

There are no tree nuts or tree nut derivatives in FastBlast Daily.

No sugars or sweeteners are added to FastBlast Daily.

FastBlast Daily uses only organic vegetables including: broccoli, spinach, kale, parsley and carrots.

FastBlast Daily uses only organic fruits including: apple, blueberry and cranberry.

Our daily recommendation of 2 servings (scoops) of FastBlast Daily has the ORAQ (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) or antioxidant equivalent of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables as well as the probiotics of 6 servings of yogurt, the Oat Beta Glucans of 8 servings of oatmeal and the resveratrol of 28 glasses of red wine.

Beta glucans are polysaccharides. They occur most commonly as cellulose in plants, the bran of grains, the cell wall of bakers' yeast, certain fungi, mushrooms, and bacteria. Beta glucans have been shown to be very supportive to the immune system. Studies have found they have a role in balancing blood sugar and regulating blood lipids as well as providing a host of additional positive effects on health.

Phytonutrients are nutrients contained within plants. They have been shown to be very beneficial to a wide variety of biological processes. Many pharmaceuticals use phytochemicals as models upon which drugs are designed and produced. When you consume the phytonutrient in its natural state, as you do with FastBlast Daily, the plant source still contains all the surrounding molecules that help modulate the effects of the photochemical. This benefit is why herbal and nutritional medicine has very few side effects when taken properly.

FastBlast Daily is manufactured in the US and the vast majority of ingredients are grown in the US. Some ingredients are sourced abroad from time to time depending on growing seasons and availability.

FastBlast Daily is fermented, which requires heat, so it is not considered to be raw although the probiotics are live cultures. We believe the process of fermentation increases the nutritional value of the foods in FastBlast Daily.

Every ingredient is listed on the packaging and website; however, we do not provide the amount of each ingredient. That essentially would be disclosing our proprietary formula.

FastBlast Daily is a whole food. It contains all the vitamins and minerals that occur naturally in the fruits, vegetables, and herbs contained in FastBlast Daily. RDAs, or recommended daily allowances, are simply generalized measurements of the minimum amounts of nutrients needed—not to be optimally well—but just not to fall ill. The power of FastBlast Daily is not so much the gross amount of vitamins and minerals—but it is in the unique manner in which the key elements have been combined. FastBlast Daily creates a nutritional matrix of profound complexity and bioavailability, meaning the nutrients can go to work for the body almost immediately. In this case, the sum of the parts is much greater than the whole.

The way most companies are able to display the exact amounts of each nutrient on the label is because they are synthetic ingredients manufactured to specification in the laboratory. The ingredients contained in Fermented Essentials are derived from food which vary from plant to plant, season to season and from each production run. It would be virtually impossible to list the exact level of each vitamin and mineral for every production run of FastBlast Daily.

The approach with FastBlast Daily is philosophically and fundamentally different than the concept of taking high doses of isolated vitamins. Vitamin supplementation was popularized in the 20's and 30's based on a couple of factors: First, the concept that nutrition from food contributes greatly to health (which was a new concept at that time) and the other is the discovery that molecules could be isolated from foods and taken in high doses. The thinking at that time was that if vitamin C, for example, is good for you, then high doses of vitamin C will be really good for you. Over time these isolated molecular structures or "isolates" became mass produced by chemical companies rather than extracting the actual molecules from food. Believe it or not, most vitamins today are synthetic and the vast majority are derived from cornstarch, petroleum extracts, coal tar derivatives, and chemically processed sugar. Fast forward to the present day and we have experienced mixed results. There are studies that indicate that high doses of concentrated synthetic vitamins can be effective. However, there are also studies that indicate that the vast majority of vitamin supplements are not absorbed by the body and are simply passed in the urine. There's an expression that surfaced – "expensive urine" – because people are paying a lot of money for supplements that simply pass through the body without being absorbed. Some studies have indicated that we absorb as little as 5% of these nutrients. Most recently there have been studies that conclude that not only do we not absorb these synthetics substances very well, but they can actually cause harm. Among others, a very well respected study on vitamin A showed that vitamin A consumed from foods containing high amounts of vitamin A can lower the risk of cancer. However, vitamin A taken in pill form (synthetic) has the opposite effect. It can actually elevate the rate of cancer.

There are two things to consider when discussing the absorption of vitamin supplements. First is that "isolates" are just that; they are isolated molecules. They are isolated from a great deal of other nutrition that we haven't even begun to understand. All food has other plant chemicals which are loosely referred to as 'cofactors' that work synergistically to allow the body to absorb and utilize the nutrition. In nature, vitamins are always bound with cofactors. Vitamin C, for example, is found in fruit along with bioflavonoids. These cofactors enhance the bioavailability of the vitamin – bioflavonoids, for instance, increase the bioavailability of vitamin C by 30 percent. With multi-vitamins these co-factors are absent, which is why it is recommended that multi-vitamins be taken with food. The assumption or hope is that if taken with food, the co-factors in the food will help allow the body to absorb the isolated molecules. 

Rather than concentrated synthetic molecules, FastBlast Daily is concentrated fermented Superfoods (actual food.) Many nutritional experts on the cutting edge of nutritional supplementation do not prescribe vitamin supplements for their patients. They instead recommend whole food supplementation, unless someone is severely deficient or has a specific "disease" that needs to be addressed. FastBlast Daily helps to support a healthy diet by providing supplementation to those who are eating healthy. Taking FastBlast Daily to enhance one’s diet is simply a personal choice. The results speak for themselves. 

Isolated Vitamin K is not added to FastBlast Daily; however, FastBlast Daily does contain vitamin K to the extent that vitamin K is found in green leafy vegetables such as kale, broccoli spinach and parsley.

Minerals are involved in almost every biological function of the body. The minerals in FastBlast Daily are full spectrum minerals derived from a pre-historic plant deposit dating back to a time when the soil was rich with a full array of vital nutrients, elements, and minerals. Containing more than 70 plant-based, small particle minerals, including the full-range of lesser-known minerals they may have served as important co-factors in our biological development. Many of these minerals have been stripped from our soils and are no longer available in our modern diets. Therefore these full-spectrum, plant based elements are absent from our foods and mineral supplements currently on the market. These minerals are naturally cheleted through plant root uptake and "digestion". They are digested and assimilated by the body nearly instantly, providing immediate benefits.

70 plus elements and minerals: Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Strontium, Potassium, Chromium, Manganese, Boron, Zinc, Selenium, Vanadium, Molybdenum, Beryllium, Bismuth, Bromine, Cadmium, Cerium, Cesium, Chloride, Cobalt, Copper, Dysprosium, Erbium, Europium, Fluoride, Gadolinium, Gallium, Germanium, Hafnium, Holmium, Indium, Iodine, Lanthanum, Lutetium, Neodymium, Nickel, Niobium, Phosphorous, Praseodymium, Rhenium, Rhodium, Samarium, Scandium, Silicon, Silver, Tantalum, Terbium, Zirconium and many more naturally occurring 

These plant derived minerals provide your body with a strong pool of minerals to draw upon. This blend of minerals also encourages your body to draw nutrients deep within its cellular structures. 

Probiotics are dietary supplements containing live bacteria that replace or add to the beneficial bacteria normally present in the gastrointestinal tract. They are, in many ways, the essence of life. These microbes are the only thing in nature with the capacity to turn inorganic elements into organic, life-giving nutrients. Without probiotics, digestion would be impossible.  

70 plus elements and minerals: Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Strontium, Potassium, Chromium, Manganese, Boron, Zinc, Selenium, Vanadium, Molybdenum, Beryllium, Bismuth, Bromine, Cadmium, Cerium, Cesium, Chloride, Cobalt, Copper, Dysprosium, Erbium, Europium, Fluoride, Gadolinium, Gallium, Germanium, Hafnium, Holmium, Indium, Iodine, Lanthanum, Lutetium, Neodymium, Nickel, Niobium, Phosphorous, Praseodymium, Rhenium, Rhodium, Samarium, Scandium, Silicon, Silver, Tantalum, Terbium, Zirconium and many more naturally occurring 

FastBlast Daily contains the following probiotics: Lactospore Bacillus coagulans, L. acidophilus, B. longum, L. casei, and L. rhamnosus.

These have been shown to be the most beneficial organisms in supporting optimal digestive and overall health. To keep the probiotics alive and functioning, please refrigerate FastBlast Daily after opening. Also, do not cook with FastBlast Daily as the heat will kill the probiotics.
