Once delivered, the fruits and vegetables are crushed entirely and moved through a series of tanks where more vitamins and minerals are added for potency. Then, using Refractance Window Drying·technology, the vitamin-filled pulp is dried to the exact point of dehydration, preserving sensory qualities like color, scent, and taste.

Cost Compared to Competitors

According to Statista, in 2019, the top public label multivitamin companies in the United States based on sales were Bausch & Lomb PreserVision ($194.7 million), Centrum ($164.5 million), Airborne ($149.1 million), and Vitafusion ($98.1 million) respectively. Bausch & Lomb PreserVision primarily sells eye care products, but the other three top brands offer multivitamins and/or supplements with specific health benefits like MegaFood. Centrum, which only offers multivitamins, charges about $18 for a 200-ct pack of multivitamins for men and $23 for a 200-ct pack of multivitamins for women. Airborne, which primarily focuses on effervescent vitamins for the immune system, has products that range from about $7 to $20, with their 63-ct pack of vitamins retailing at $19.79. Vitafusion, which offers both multivitamins and vitamins to support specific ailments, charges about $15 for a 150-ct pack of multivitamins for men and $15 for a 150-ct pack of multivitamins for women.

Pros:

MegaFood offers a wider array of products than most of its competitors like Bausch & Lomb PreserVision, Centrum, Airborne, and Vitafusion. Many competitors of MegaFood do not offer organic vitamins or supplements at all, let alone products that have as many certifications of purity and safety as MegaFood. MegaFood's products are designed to be as precise as possible with their consumer base, categorizing products by age, gender, and health benefit. MegaFood offers more specific products than their competitors like their ?ver 40·and "over 55" multivitamins. Their competitors mostly only offer one type of multivitamin for adults and one type of multivitamins for elders, not several age-specific ones.

Megafood has a jam-packed website that offers all the information a customer needs to make an informed purchase. On each product page, the supplemental facts, additional features, an educational video, and customer reviews are provided. Unlike many of their competitors, customers can also purchase products directly from the MegaFood website and even research the benefits of their product through the MegaBlog. They also offer free shipping on most of their products.

MegaFood is a reputable brand that has been dedicated to its mission of providing clean, organic supplements since 1973. They have almost 39,000 followers on Instagram and 6,000 followers on Twitter.

With their extreme commitment to sustainability and transparency, there is no guilt needed when buying from MegaFood. On their website, they explain their manufacturing process in detail and have background information available about the four farms they source from.

Cons:

One competitor that has many of the same products and a similar standard of quality as MegaFood is Garden of Life, which offers multivitamins for men, women, children, and for pre/post-natal care, as well as specific benefit vitamins like for sleep, strength, pain relief and more. Garden of Life is certified as USDA Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, NSF gluten-free, OU kosher, Star-K kosher, Pareve kosher, NSF for sport, informed choice, LEED gold, Green-e energy, and they are a certified B-corp. They currently have more certifications of purity and safety than MegaFood.

Compared to many of the big multivitamin and supplement brands in the United States, MegaFood's products are a bit more expensive. For instance, right now, it is $47.82 for a 90-ct pack of "ten One Daily" multivitamins. In comparison, it is only $9.74 for a 160-ct pack of "ten Tablet" multivitamins on Walmart.

Though the MegaFood website is filled with tons of information, it is a bit confusing to navigate through. Many of the products in certain categories and subcategories overlap with each other, making it slightly difficult to find what you need. It is particularly confusing why there is both a "Vitamins & Supplements" tab and a "Health Needs" tab when they are essentially the same thing.

The overall website is a bit bland visually. The green-colored theme fits well with the goals and values of the brand. However, there is a ton of empty space, the font is extremely basic, and the words are very small and hard to read in some spots.

IDEAL CUSTOMER

The ideal customer would be an adult between the ages of 20 and 40 with an income of $50,000+ a year. The rationale behind this is that because of MegaFood? products are significantly more expensive than common vitamin brands, consumers that aren't financially stable might be less prone to purchase. The other reasoning behind this decision is that younger audiences are generally more concerned about the sustainability and environmental implications of their purchases.

How long does the product last?

Most of MegaFood? products come in quantities of 30, 60, 90, or 180. They also offer bundles.

Coupon/sales

MegaFood occasionally has promotional/seasonal offers. Right now, they are offering 15% off all energy products. If you subscribe to the website, you also get an extra 10% off every order. They also have a rewards program where you can earn store credit by making purchases, doing tasks like liking their social pages, and where you earn credit on your birthday.

GOOD FOR GIFTING?

Due to the wide range of products they offer, it is possible to find a fitting gift for nearly anybody. Their packaging has an appealing aesthetic with colorful labels which also make their products an ideal gift.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

On their website, it states that customers will never have to speak to an automated robot for customer support. According to them, "you'll be speaking with Corey, Julie, JoAnn, Hannah, Kristina or Tracy" They also reply to customers regularly on their social media accounts.
