Our Origins

Our Origins

milestone-food-for-your-genes olive yard biodiversity 208 1920-×-575

From Nature. Through Science. With Purpose.

MILESTONE® was born from a simple yet powerful idea: that the most intelligent health solutions are already written in nature — waiting to be revealed, not reinvented.

Our journey began across the Mediterranean — among olive groves, ancient soils, and timeless traditions of nourishment. Guided by science and inspired by nature, we set out to create something that honors both: living foods designed with precision, purity, and profound respect for the body.

We come from decades of research, with roots in Greece, the U.K., and Italy. Our founders are scientists, dreamers, and humans deeply connected to the rhythms of the earth. What we create is more than a product — it’s a philosophy: slow technology, functional nutrition, and a return to what truly matters.

At MILESTONE®, origin is everything. It’s how we choose our ingredients, how we design our formulas, and how we live our values — from the land to your hands.

Welcome to where it all began. Welcome to our origins.

Our name embodies the shift towards intelligent, health-forward eating, crucial for both individual wellness and humanity’s progress.

Our Inspirations

The Intelligence of Nature

Nature is not random — it is precise, balanced, and deeply wise. It heals without force and nourishes without excess. We are endlessly inspired by its systems, its rhythms, and its ability to provide exactly what the human body needs — when we listen carefully. At MILESTONE®, nature isn’t a resource. It’s our guide.

The Integrity of Science

We believe in evidence. In rigor. In the kind of science that respects what is ancient while pushing what is possible. Our roots in academic research and our commitment to biofunctional nutrition fuel our mission: to create living foods with measurable impact and uncompromised quality.

The Simplicity of Living Well

True wellness doesn’t come from complexity. It comes from choosing what is real, pure, and meaningful — every day. We are inspired by the human desire for clarity, balance, and presence. That’s why every MILESTONE® product is designed to support a life lived with intention, not interruption.

Our Ingredients

Our Ingredients

A Natural Synergy: Ancient Trees, Modern Purpose

At MILESTONE®, we build every formula on the foundation of biological wisdom and scientific validation.

Our hero ingredients — the olive (Olea europaea) and pomegranate (Punica granatum) — are more than just crops. They are living pillars of Mediterranean heritage, cultivated for centuries for their therapeutic value and ecological resilience.

We source high-phenolic olive oil and polyphenol-rich pomegranate concentrate from biodiverse farms rooted in regenerative practices. These ancient plants offer not only powerful bioactives like hydroxytyrosol and punicalagin — but also a deep genetic synergy with human biology, making them ideal for modern functional nutrition.

Tradition meets technology in every drop —
and nature leads our science.

Bioavailability: Real Nutrients, Truly Absorbed

Not all nutrients are created equal — and not all are absorbed equally.

Bioavailability refers to how effectively a nutrient enters your circulation and reaches your cells. At MILESTONE®, we design our functional foods to optimize natural nutrient absorption, taking into account the matrix effect, digestion dynamics, and co-factor synergy.

What makes MILESTONE different?

  • Food-form nutrients are shown to have higher bioavailability than isolated synthetic forms.
  • Our fat-soluble compounds (like Vitamin D3) are paired with high-quality natural oils for enhanced absorption.
  • You don’t just get a single compound — you get a whole food matrix: enzymes, co-factors, fiber, and phytochemicals that work together.
  • No fillers. No isolates. Just whole-form potency, clinically guided.

Because food should nourish — not just pass through.

Biodiversity: Regenerating Life at the Root

Biodiversity is not just a measure of species. It’s the living fabric of our food, our climate, and our future.

At MILESTONE®, we commit to regenerative agricultural practices that protect soil life, restore pollinator populations, and sustain local ecosystems — not just reduce harm, but actively revive biodiversity.

We focus on:

  1. Preserving native plant and insect species by sourcing from biodiverse-rich, non-monoculture landscapes.
  2. Regenerating soil microbiomes using low-intervention and cover cropping methods that restore natural fertility.
  3. Reducing inputs, increasing resilience — 84% less carbon emissions, 95% recycling rate, and less than 50% water withdrawal vs. conventional farming.
  4. Empowering smallholder farmers to maintain traditional, diverse agro-ecosystems.
  5. Investing in local ecologies — every farm we work with commits to habitat protection and pollinator recovery.
  6. Eliminating waste — we aim for a zero-waste supply chain through circular product design.

Because protecting biodiversity isn’t a trend — it’s a scientific and ethical imperative. It means choosing life, at every level of our production chain.

Beyond Organic: From Soil to Science, Integrity at Every Step

“Organic” is only the beginning.

At MILESTONE®, our Beyond Organic philosophy ensures that every ingredient is not only cultivated with respect for nature, but also meets our rigorous post-harvest safety and purity standards — going far beyond traditional certifications.

We focus on what happens after the harvest, where risk often hides:

  1. Purity you can trace — every batch is screened for more than 800 known contaminants, including pesticides, heavy metals, and solvents.
  2. Potency with purpose — we assess active compound integrity, ensuring bioavailability and therapeutic relevance, not just presence.
  3. Partners in principle — we collaborate only with farmers and producers who uphold regenerative, traceable, and sustainable cultivation ethics.
  4. Whole-system safety — from the root to the bottle, our processes ensure not just product safety, but environmental and community well-being.

“Beyond Organic” is not a label — it’s our ongoing scientific and ethical commitment to the future generations and the planet.

Bioethics: Honoring Life Through Every Choice

Health is not just a personal pursuit — it’s a collective responsibility. At MILESTONE®, we see wellness as deeply intertwined with the ethical treatment of people, animals, and the planet.

Our bioethical philosophy is grounded in three guiding principles:

  1. Respect for all living systems — we reject industrial practices that harm ecosystems, overexploit resources, or contribute to species loss.
  2. Equity in the supply chain — we collaborate with small-scale farmers who uphold biodiversity, cultural knowledge, and regenerative land stewardship.
  3. Compassion as science — we prioritize non-animal testing methods, minimize ecological impact, and advocate for transparent, ethical innovation.

Feeding the world is not just a question of yield — it’s a question of justice. Our decisions are guided by the belief that health should never come at the cost of exploitation, cruelty, or environmental collapse.

To choose MILESTONE® is to choose a future where science, ethics, and life are in harmony.

Nutrigenomics Food for Your Genes
Food that Knows You. Nourishment that Responds.

Our scientific foundation is built on nutrigenomics — the study of how nutrition interacts with your DNA. This means understanding how specific nutrients can influence the expression of genes linked to inflammation, immunity, metabolism, and long-term health outcomes.

But we go further.

We don’t just make food that’s good for everyone. We craft functional formulations that are intended to work with your unique biology — a direct response to the insights of DNA testing, epigenetics, and personalized nutrition science.

What Makes Our Foods Unique?

  • Precision Formulated: We combine centuries of traditional Mediterranean botanicals with cutting-edge genomic science — selecting only bioactives that show clear regulatory or epigenetic impact.
  • Targeted by Function: From inflammation to immunity, each formula is designed to support a specific biological pathway where diet meets gene expression.
  • Guided by Testing: In collaboration with nutritional genomics experts, we develop products that can align with individual gene profiles — not generic formulas.
  • Rooted in Origins, Elevated by Science: Our foods are developed with the rigor of clinical research and the purity of traditional cultivation — backed by tests, not trends.

This is nutrition at the genetic level.
This is food with a function. And a future.

Protocols & Practices

At MILESTONE®, our innovation lies not only in what we extract — but how we do it.

We design proprietary extraction and concentration protocols to protect the integrity of delicate bioactives. Using techniques like vacuum-assisted cold processing, we minimize oxidative degradation while maximizing functional compound bioavailability.

The result: precision-crafted, biofunctional liquids that deliver targeted health benefits and preserve nature’s intelligence — from polyphenols to plant terpenes.

From Soil to Science: Genetics Meets Cultivation

The efficacy of our formulations begins long before the lab — in the field, and even within the genome of the plant itself.

We select specific cultivars such as Olea Sylvestris, not only for their phytochemical richness but also for their genetic stability and resilience, ensuring high yields of the desired compounds.

Our growers follow regenerative and precision farming principles that preserve soil microbiomes and ensure optimal plant metabolism.

Each stage — from seed sourcing and soil health, to extraction and formulation — follows strict internal protocols, enabling us to control consistency, potency, and purity at every micro-step.

Traceability

Your safety is non-negotiable.

That’s why every raw material undergoes rigorous evaluation before entering our production chain — including tests for purity, chemical composition, microbiological safety, and toxicological risk.

We audit our partners regularly and comply with international regulatory frameworks in both the EU and the U.S. Each finished product is backed by:

  • Chemical analysis
  • Clinical test data (where applicable)
  • Ongoing post-market monitoring

Safety

We guarantee full transparency of every ingredient, from the soil it’s grown in to the moment it reaches your bottle. Our ingredients come exclusively from a vetted network of organic, small-scale farmers who share our regenerative values and ethical sourcing commitments.

Since 2018, we’ve implemented a closed-loop traceability system that documents origin, harvest conditions, and supply chain flow — ensuring that every batch is as clean, ethical, and potent as the one before.

Transparency isn’t optional — it’s built into our process.

At MILESTONE®, we don’t just formulate for wellness.
We formulate for you — and the future of your genes.

We’re not performing wellness. We’re living it.

We live among seven acres of olive trees and earth that knows our footsteps. Tomatoes burst in the heat of the sun. Beans stretch upward. Cucumbers cool in the shade. Eggplants, lettuce, peppers, potatoes — all grow quietly beside us.

Our children learn with their hands — planting, picking, tasting. Their laughter mixes with the wind and the sound of bees.

This isn’t a story about a product. It’s a story about soil, sun, and the hands that tend them.
We didn’t set out to create a brand — we simply chose to live well.
And MILESTONE® is what grew from that choice.

We are a family owned functional food company

We don’t work for MILESTONE®. We live with it. And these are the hearts behind it.

What we grow, we eat. What we believe, we bottle. This is more than a business. It’s our family’s way of honoring nature, nurturing wellness, and creating something real — for ourselves, for our children, and for those seeking a deeper kind of health.

Functional Food With a Story

Every vegetable picked by hand carries a story — of sunlight, laughter, and care. Our food doesn’t come from factories; it grows beside us. This is why MILESTONE® exists — to bring real nourishment, born from real moments, to every table. From seed to bottle, it’s all personal.
