Life is sweet here in the Mattole River Valley. Time has been kind to this remote area known as the “Lost Coast” of Northern California. Mother Nature jealously guards this secret river valley on all sides from would be developers and casual tourists. Four hours north of San Francisco highway 101 begins to resemble a true country road as it meanders alongside the Eel River to the Avenue of the Giants. Heading due west ancient redwoods stand as sentinels at the entrance of the tortuous road that ascends to the peak of the Kings Mountain Range. At the summit a panorama of postcard views, including a first glimpse of the Mattole River below, justify 1½ hours of radical switchbacks and narrow passages often compromised by the whims of nature.
It’s here on the valley floor just a stone throw from the river where the folks at Mattole Valley Naturals live and work. Our team of health professionals and sustainable living experts let the natural rhythms of the valley inspire the creation of our incomparable whole food formulas.
Mattole Valley Naturals is an evolution of the products we developed to serve our clients as well as our own personal needs. We would have been glad to let someone else do the work, but there just wasn’t anything on the market that was, well . . . good enough! Our years of clinical experience and athletic involvement taught us what works and what doesn’t . . . so Mattole Valley Naturals was born.
The foundation of any supplemental program for health and performance enhancement begins with unprocessed whole green foods proven for their nutrient density, cleansing abilities and energetic qualities. Blue Green Algae tops this category so we’ve made it the core of our organic blends. We use pure AFA (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae), a unique blue-green algae that grows wild in the Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon prepared with fresh-dried methods to preserve the integrity of the algae.
Our flagship blend is the MVN Organic Greens Blend of organic and wildcrafted sea vegetables, blue green algae, Phycocyanin and PEA concentrate derived from blue-green algae, chlorella, 200:1 aloe concentrate and mature green papaya.
MVN Nano-Cordyceps + Greens has gained quite a 'buzz' in professional and athletic circles as the ultimate anti-stress, performance-enhancing product. It’s a perfect synergy of organic nanonized Cordyceps sinensis, wildcrafted Blue Green Algae, Phycocyanin and PEA concentrate derived from blue-green algae, organic Green Tea Matcha and organic Camu Camu.
Mattole Valley Naturals rounds out its green line-up with single ingredient concentrates for those who prefer the specific healthful effects of a particular superfood. These include our Klamath Lake Blue Green Algae, Blue Green Algae - Phycocyanin and PEA Concentrate and Chlorella. These can be found along with our blends at http://www.regenitech.com/livNut/greenS.cfm.
We package everything as powders and do not encapsulate. Did you know that nutrients stimulate receptors in your mouth to prepare the body for use by target organs while sending beneficial electrical impulses to those organs before you even swallow your food? That’s why we need to chew our food and taste our supplements. If you swallow supplements whole up to 40% of the health benefit is lost. We have always admonished our clients to “chew your supplements!” Our number one concern here at MVN is results.
Oh, and did we mention that some of our nutritional blends are delicious too? Wait until you taste our new line of Protein drink mixes! We’ll talk about those in a future blog entry.
