Getting back to basics with health essentials, featuring Meghan Mugg of Frtil
Sometimes keeping it simple is best. Frtil, a brand specializing in fundamental supplements, is on a mission to help people rediscover and maintain a natural state of vitality through the replenishment of raw nutrients.
The foundations of Frtil were laid when founder Meghan Mugg was in college at UCLA studying Psychology. This helped her develop a passion for peer-reviewed research.
"I spent much of my free time delving into paper after paper, amazed that such valuable literature, capable of significantly improving health, was not more widely known and accepted," says Meghan.
"It became clear to me that I wanted to help people improve their health through the knowledge I was gaining through independent research, so I pursued a certification as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner in my senior year."
After working one-on-one with clients for nearly five years and grappling with the pros and cons of using supplements in her practice, she realized that the supplement industry needed a change in terms of quality, transparency, and pricing.
"I felt that many supplement companies had misguided motives and saw an opportunity to create something truly different."
Below, Meghan continues to explain why raw nutrients are essential.
Q. What are the benefits of raw nutrients?
A. The key difference between whole food supplements and synthetic supplements lies in their composition and absorption.
Whole food supplements are naturally synthesized, including their cofactors and enzymes, which facilitates easy and efficient absorption. In contrast, synthetic supplements often work in isolation, which can lead to absorption issues and imbalances due to improper ratios of vitamins and minerals.
At Frtil, we look to the natural world as our most powerful teacher, offering us the answers to many of our biggest questions. We strive to re-establish the primal connection between human beings and our environment because we recognize that this life-giving bond has been forgotten.
Q. What is the ideal or recommended daily lineup?
A. We’ve laid the groundwork so you don’t have to. Our Baseline (Beef Liver, Oyster (Zn), Vitamin C, and Shilajit) simplifies your routine by focusing on the whole system — because nothing works in isolation.
We recognize that not every product is for every person. In other words, we value bio individuality and encourage our community to connect with and listen to their own intuitive knowing.
However, our Baseline is crafted to help rediscover and sustain a natural state of vitality through the replenishment of raw nutrients, regardless of where someone’s health currently stands.
