ZENEKA® Philosophy

ZENEKA believes in empowering the body through nature. Nature has provided a bounty of phytonutrients to support healing and wellness that no laboratory can duplicate.

Decades of clinical research have studied the use of plant-derived nutraceuticals compared to chemically synthesized
compounds and found time and time again the same results –scientists have been unable to fully replicate the goodness of mother nature.

Synthetic vitamin isolates are ‘crystalline’ in structure, which is physiologically different from
the vitamins found in foods.
