FoodState

FoodState is a U.S. nutrition and wellness company best known for developing and manufacturing whole food-based dietary supplements sold under the MegaFood and INNATE Response brands. Founded in 1973 in New Hampshire, the company built its business around food-derived vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements, including proprietary FoodState Nutrients made using its Slo-Food Process. FoodState was acquired by Pharmavite in December 2014 and has operated as an acquired subsidiary/business within the Pharmavite/Otsuka group. The company is commercial-stage rather than a drug-development biotech, with its core activity centered on branded supplement products, natural retail distribution, practitioner channels, and in-house manufacturing. Its relevance to healthcare is in consumer health and nutraceuticals rather than prescription therapeutics or clinical biopharma.
