Vega Testimonials Hi, just wanted to let you know that I'm a new
convert to Vega. Not only do I get my protein but it is also a meal
replacement. I've developed a lot of sensitivities and avoid anything
unnatural these days so I was doubly pleased to be able to enjoy and
tolerate this great new drink. What is neat is that I've tried hemp
based and other green supplements and have just not liked them so bravo
to you!
- Maureen L.
Having been a user of both protein bars and
vegetable/fruit bars for a number of years, finding a bar which
combines the best of both has been impossible until now. Vega bars do
just that. Beyond this, they just taste great. Leading an active and
hectic lifestyle such as I do, I struggle to include enough fiber in my
diet. Vega provides an easy and tasty way of supplementing my fiber
intake and they are a healthy snack on the go.
- Eric H.
Vega is the best meal replacement I've ever taken.
It works! Because it is high in fiber it suppresses my hunger for a
long time and I have no cravings for junk food. Now that I feel
satisfied for a long period of time it gives me time to prepare a
nutritious meal that I can sit down and enjoy. The best part for me;
drinking Vega was a great incentive, as I would finally get my greens,
plus all the extra benefits that came with it.
- Angie G.
Vega has been a lifesaver for me as a mother of two
young toddlers! It's been a quick and easy breakfast shake for our
older child ever since she was a year old and I give both of them the
Vega bar whenever we have a "finicky eater" day. I feel good giving
them Vega because I know that it's organic and it has complete EFA's
for my kids' brain development. I recommend Vega to all busy moms
looking for healthy, convenient food for their kids.
-Eve C.
I have been taking Vega for about 5 months now as a
part of my diet and fitness program. I thought it might help curb my
cravings for junk food and sugar. Did it ever! I went from a soft 215
lbs down to a rock hard 190lbs! It's been months and no attacks. Lots
of people have seen the dramatic effects Vega has had for me and I have
family and friends all trying it now as well.
- Jason C.
Your Vega bar is one of the best products I've used.
Unlike other 'energy bars' I've tried, it's easy to digest and doesn't
leave me hungry and out of energy an hour later. Training for endurance
sports and working full time requires a lot of fuel and your Vega bar
gives me access to high quality nutrition at any time, no matter where
I am.
- Ryan M.
Vega has brought about some major changes, which
have improved my health and mind. I have since recommended your product
to family, friends, and colleagues and will continue to do so, as my
results speak for themselves.
- John K.
I am writing to compliment you on your Vega whole
food energy bar. I just had the opportunity to try one and it was very
impressive. From the moment I opened the package it was appealing. It
smells great; it's so moist and mouthwatering that it feels like you
are eating a desert square while at the same time, nourishing your body
with incredible, natural vitamins and nutrients. Now 2 1/2 hrs later, I
still feel the fullness from the bar.
- Joanne M.
I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your
Vega product! I am now on my second container of it and it is the first
time that I have consumed a meal replacement that actually kept me
feeling satisfied. I love the flavor and the consistency of the
product. It is really nice to see a product so unique and with such a
wide spectrum of healthy ingredients!
-Valerie C.
These Vega bars have obviously been well researched
in their creation. They are highly nutritious and taste great. I love
the convenience of having such a good quality meal replacement readily
available.
- Trent N.
As long as I have Vega around I will always have a
sound and smart choice for a meal. I don't feel guilty or like I am
missing anything and have to play the guessing game with supplements.
With Vega it is a simple morning: Wake up, work out, take Vega. Thank
you for creating such a great product that has become a staple in my
diet. Not only does my Vega now have a permanent counter spot beside
the blender I really feel like I have the tools to create the body I
desire.
- Phil L.
Since having a daily Vega bar, I have found that I
now have a more balanced bowel function. While working in a very busy
office, the bar satisfies the need for food until I can eat lunch.
Thank you for such a great convenience food, which nutritionally would
help everyone, especially children and the elderly.
- Sonia M.
I'm a new user of Vega and was skeptical at first as
I have tried so many meal replacements during my life and I am also a
meat lover. But after having it for the first time, I knew I was going
to be a regular! Vega sits easy on the stomach and you are actually
"naturally" not hungry. In other words, it's not like your stomach is
"forced" into comfortableness. The overall feeling after consumption is
excellent and I haven't found anything else like it on the market.
- William A.
Congratulations on making such an awesome bar! Vega
whole food energy bars are loaded with nothing but healthful
ingredients with no junk or fillers. They are the perfect bars for me
when I'm busy working or before or after a training session.
- Shelly H.
As a vegan expecting mother I am thankful to Sequel
naturals for introducing Vega to the market. It was the only 100% plant
based complete formula I could find. As for the taste, it was so
delicious I double-checked all the ingredients; I couldn't believe it
was good for me and tasted so good. My husband and I are both hooked on
Vega. I love the product and would recommend it to absolutely everyone.
Whether you're a top athlete or a pregnant woman, anyone can benefit
from Vega.
- Ilana B.
I chose Vega for my protein, fatty acids, fiber,
antioxidant, vitamin and mineral supplement. I must say, it is the best
tasting, most complete whole food meal replacement out on the market
that is alkalizing. The best thing about Vega is that it's a fast, easy
and practical solution anyone can incorporate in his or her lifestyle
and achieve great health benefits.
- Mark B.
I was in the middle of a big move of home and
office, and tight on budget with little time for outside dining and no
means of cooking due to an unfinished kitchen. My choices for nutrition
were few, but I was fortunate to have had two containers of VEGA meal
replacement (chocolate and natural), which were quick and easy to make
and wonderfully delicious. For two weeks, I consumed two servings of
VEGA and one full meal per day. I felt great! I lost body fat and
maintained muscle mass, while enjoying energy levels that were
comparable to my usual diet of eating 5 or 6 meals per day. As an added
bonus, the high fiber content of VEGA was apparent, as my daily
movements were regular. The great taste, the high nutritional value,
the ease of preparation and the benefits I experienced through two
weeks of continual use has prompted me to become a regular user of this
potent and delicious meal replacement. Thank you for creating the most
nutritionally dense meal replacement product I have ever used!
- Andre S.
I just want you to know that this product is the
most amazing supplement I have ever come across. I took the it to my
Alternative Doctor to have it muscle tested for me. (I have to do this
as I am extremely sensitive to almost everything). The results: very
strong - as if it was personally designed for me. I feel soooooooooo
good when I drink this plant-based superfood. In fact, I find it hard
to put into words and just tell my friends that it is something that
you have to experience for yourself. Thanks to Brendan Brazier and to
anyone connected in making this wonderful product available. I just
wish that this could have been around much, much earlier, but now it is
and I am so grateful and know what appreciation is every time that I
enjoy a shake. Thanks again!
- Armella R.
I really had to take the time to write to you guys.
Vega is the greatest product I have ever had, and the fact that it's
also alkalizing is even more impressive. I really give this product two
thumbs up but it truly deserves more, and it would get more if I had
more handslol. The product is so healthful and it's helped me become
far healthier than I could imagine. Before I found out about Vega I was
only eating high acidic foods and the majority of my diet came from
meats. This product has given me a total face lift and an attitude
change towards vegans. This product delivers, and I'm so happy a
company like yours has taken peoples health into consideration rather
than just profits. But truly the product is worth every penny! I just
wanted to express my feelings and I'm sure many people feel the same
way about the product. Thank you!
- Dean B.
I'm no professional bodybuilder (by a long shot!)
but nevertheless have some experience with using protein supplements
since the mid 1980's. I've used them all (including egg, milk &
egg, soy, rice, spirluna, etc.) so I have an idea of what is out there
and the different types of formulations and flavours available. I have
been using a whey protein isolate formula exclusively for the last 6-7
yrs now. However, with all the recent and continuing controversy about
animal derived products (Mad cow disease & the feeding of animal
ruminants to cattle) I have been trying to wean myself off whey
protein. When I came across an advertisement for Vega, I was quite
intrigued. Now, having read "THRIVE" and tried the samples you sent me,
I now believe I have a viable alternative to whey protein. The
ingredients in Vega have obviously undergone careful consideration. I
believe quality and flavour were first and foremost on your list when
you formulated Vega. In my humble opinion, Brendan Brazier & your
product development team deserve a standing ovation for this. Hip hip
hooray! My favourite flavour is Natural. It has a naturally pleasant
sweet flavour & mixes easily in water. It is most excellent! I love
it!
- Winston L.
I just got Vega from Lifestyles in Sidney here, and
I am amazed at how delicious it is. How did you do that, when nobody
else can do it??? Your book and website and your personal message have
deeply motivated me and I have bought all necessaries today at
Thrifty's for making your recipes and for doing a juice fast also. You
are a true inspiration and how much courage it must have taken for you
to just strike out and do what you loved to the ultimate, it is so
impressive and inspiring. I offer my thanks for the effort you have put
forth. Just last week I made a written and spoken affirmation to repeat
twice a day: "I now have found a perfect high protein vegetarian food
that is digestible and perfect for my needs." (I can't digest the soy
or whey ones, and I tried the hemp protein but it is a bit hard on the
tum). Then in a couple of days, there you were on a front page of the
Times Colonist, and now I have the perfect high protein food! God at
work!
- Vanayssa W.
I would like to offer some valuable feedback. I have
been a student of herbalism for over 20 years and counting. As a
result, I read every ingredient of every label of everything. In
respect to protein powders, only in frustration did I create my own
formulation of a protein drink with the first ingredient being hemp
(been doing this for several years now). I work part time at a large
health food store and I found the largest request with our clientele is
protein drink mixes. I have characteristically sent them off with some
power supplements and a canister of hemp protein, that is until I had
the good fortune to try Vega. I wish to say that your formula is
magnificent! The ingredients have been well researched and are
appropriately balanced. I honestly cannot properly articulate how
impressed I am with Vega. Now, anyone coming into the store in search
of protein mix leaves with your product in their hands. It is then only
one I care to support. Well done folks! You've done your homework!
- Cheri W.
Running on empty has got to be one of my worst
feelings when I'm immersed in juggling work, workouts, and a workload.
It gives me an inner confidence to know that I can readily grab a Vega
shake and go forth with vitality! I can assure the swimmers who I work
with that this is a live food that will give their bodies the
conviction of sustenance needed for optimal performance before
practice, after practice and at swim meets.
- Pam W.
I am an extremely active vegetarian Scuba instructor
and I don't think I would have the energy to brave our recent weather
if I wasn't drinking your chocolate Vega meal replacement. I don't have
time to eat properly some days and find eating whatever is in my glove
compartment while I drive to the next site just doesn't cut it. Keep me
posted with new innovations.
- Amber G.
A few weeks ago I read on Brendan's website about
this new product "Vega." I was THRILLED to have discovered a meal
replacement that was entirely vegan b/c - as you know - they're not
easy to find. I was disappointed, however, when I tried to use your
store locator to purchase some near me, and it didn't work (assuming
b/c I'm in the US)... so I had given up until yesterday, when I was in
my Whole Foods in Chicago and was delighted to see a new Vega display!
I tried the berry flavor, both the shake and the bar. I was really
pleasantly surprised w/ the taste and, as an ex-athlete (NCAA Division
I vegan athlete!) and now a runner, I couldn't be happier with all of
the nutrients provided. I was a little sad about the price but, I
agree, you get what you pay for. I will happily purchase this product
again. Thanks so much for creating such a terrific VEGAN product!!
- Rebecca Koehler
I've tried other bars before and they felt bland and
boring....but what you've got there is a magic recipe. Finally
something without honey!!! I've included your Vega products in my raw
vegan lifestyle! Thanks again for your generosity.... and for creating
such a high quality really healthy product!
- Sonia N.
To assist me in my new lifestyle change I recently
completed a 30 day cleanse which my energy and overall health improved
but more noticeably and significantly when I started your Vega natural
flavour product and have used it as a meal replacement for breakfast
and lunch. I'm hoping regular use of your Vega products will improve my
overall health as over the years my body has reacted to several major
health problems. I have found since I switched to an alkaline based
diet, including regular use of your Vega products my health is
improving!
- James B.
Finally, I think I've found exactly what I'm looking
for. I have only started taking Vega for 2 1/2 weeks, but I feel so
much better. I have much more energy, my hypoglycemia seems to be under
control for the first time in too many years, and it tastes great!
I now have a request that my sister receive a sample packet too. I'd
lend her my book, but she is 536 miles away! She is fighting a daily
battle with weight loss, has many food allergies, asthmatic, and the
list goes on. I really feel that this product will make her feel as
wonderful, and help her problems, as it has mine. Thank you so much for
introducing me to this great product. I'm hooked, and will use it
forever.
- Vicki G.
I recently purchased the vega complete meal
(chocolate) and I must commend Brendan Brazier, for such a wonderful
product. I also was able to purchase his book Thrive. I am not a vegan
but I enjoy trying new products, for a healthier life and am hoping to
lose some weight, by having this as a meal replacement once a day.
Thank you all.

MacaSure Testimonials
I
would like to share with you my experience on taking your MacaSure
Maca. The main reason I wanted to try Maca was for my depression and
lack of energy, I was suffering from both. I started by taking 4
capsules a day. I didn't really feel any difference so I started taking
5-6 a day.
In a couple of weeks I was feeling just
great - I had a ton of energy I was wanting to do things that I never
cared for doing before! I had just had a baby and I had no energy at
all, but this one morning I woke up at about 4AM and I had so much
energy I wanted to go outside and rake leaves! The next morning I did
just that all day long,
I have been a happier
person to be around and my husband really likes what Maca does for me
too. We have "fallen in love all over again". I have even given Maca to
my five-month-old son. I noticed that his bowel movements became more
regular and less strained and he was sleeping better at night.
When
I recently ran out of Maca I sure noticed a difference in how I felt
and in how my baby was feeling too! My son wasn't as regular with his
bowel movements and he was up all night long for weeks! I have been a
little cranky also. I have had difficulty with bowel movements myself
and I am definitely not feeling as charged up. I won’t ever let myself
run out of my MacaSure again, that’s for sure!

I
am a carpenter and I am up and down ladders all day, I exert a lot of
energy and I need energy to keep me going. Well when my wife started
talking to me about Maca, I was very skeptical. She is always trying to
get me to try one thing or another. So for two years I listened to her
talk about all the wonderful attributes of Maca but it wasn’t until
about 3 months ago that I finally agreed to try it.
Well
I wish I hadn’t waited so long! At first I complained to my wife
because I did not feel that it was working for me. She said I should
take more and wait longer than five days as results can take up to one
month. At about 3 weeks into taking Maca I noticed an increased libido
and my energy really improved. I also just feel better, I can’t explain
it but I can only attribute these things to my MacaSure as that is all
I’ve changed in my life.

I
started using Maca to help alleviate some, if not all of the symptoms
of menopause. I began taking the MacaSure brand from Sequel Naturals
and I was starting to feel pretty good. After being on the Maca for
only one month my menopausal symptoms increased and were quite bad for
a while. However, I continued taking the Maca and I am finally noticing
some improvement in how I am feeling. My energy is coming back and my
mood swings are not as drastic. Based on the results I am getting so
far with the Maca, I feel confident that with a few more months of use
all my symptoms will subside.
- Tammy C.

You
won’t believe the wonderful miracle the MacaSure powder has done in my
life! For the last 3 months or so, I barely had a period…and then last
month there was nothing. I take Progesterone to induce my period each
month because my body has not been producing enough of it for a couple
of years now. Because I had not gone into menopause as yet, it would be
dangerous not to have a period every month as I understand this could
cause uterine cancer.
I began taking your MacaSure
powder in late December 2002 and I just got an almost full period this
month! The most miraculous part is that I have only been taking the
Maca for 3 weeks…that’s it, and I still got an almost full period! I
can’t believe it and neither can my doctor!
- Sheila J.
Brampton, ON
I’d
like to share my success story about MacaSure with you. When I look
into the cupboards at home and see unused supplements that my wife has
bought I usually just take them just so they won’t go to waste, even
though I feel I don’t really need them. She told me MacaSure was good
for athletes so I took some in a shake before I played hockey one day
and I noticed that even after two hours of playing hard I could
continue playing longer. It sure gives me more stamina! Now I suppose I
have to thank my wife!

As
a clinical herbalist I try many different products that are on the
market. I started taking Maca over two years ago, initially for a
hormonal imbalance that I was trying to regulate. Within two days of
taking Maca root powder, my cycle got back on track. I was impressed
but not convinced yet that it was due to the Maca so I continued taking
it.
At around four weeks I noticed one day that I
was no longer suffering from the afternoon fatigue that I’ve endured
for years, ever since I was a teen-ager! That was an unexpected bonus
as I was taking Maca to regulate my menses and at that time I was not
aware of all the other benefits. Of course, this piqued my interest and
I began researching Maca in depth.
Over the course
of the two years I have noticed a continued improvement in how I feel
generally. My energy is consistently good and I feel happier,
healthier, and stronger. I have better muscle tone despite having taken
time off from exercising. I seem to handle stress better and I never
get PMS anymore. I use to suffer with mild PMS anywhere from 7-10 days
a month.
One of Maca’s most redeeming virtues is
apparent when helping with the symptoms of menopause. In my practice, I
have recommended Maca to many women for alleviating the symptoms of
menopause (and PMS) and I have yet to be disappointed.
I
have never experienced such dramatic results with any other herb or
supplement before. I am so impressed with Maca that this is truly one
herb I will always have in my home and my practice, for my family and
for my patients!
I highly recommend the MacaSure
brand of Maca root extract made by Sequel Naturals. It is the only
brand of Certified Organic Maca available in Canada plus it is
gelatinized for greater potency and absorption.
I
prefer using Maca powder form as it is the most economical way to take
Maca. It mixes well into just about any food or beverage, hot or cold.
MacaSure is the only brand of Maca I use myself and in my practice.
