COMPANY HISTORY
SFH was founded in March 2010 as a separate division of Maine Natural Health dedicated to Sports Nutrition. SFH products are designed, formulated and produced in same facility as the MNH products in Warren, Maine. Our key products are: SFH Omega-3 Oils and SFH Whey Protein Supplements. Both products are from natural sources; our omega-3 oil comes from finely processed fish oil and the whey protein is derived from milk. Used together, these products will contribute to your overall health by reducing inflammation and increasing muscle mass.
Maine Natural Health was founded in 2006 by pharmaceutical and medical scientists who have decades of experience in the study of chronic disease. We have used this knowledge to design and develop neutraceuticals that have a positive effect on your health and well being. The MNH label is found in independent and compounding pharmacies as well as in medical marketing and most recently Whole Foods in Portland, Maine. The SFH label is found in CrossFit boxes throughout the US as well as in specialized sporting good stores.
Other products include Cold Sore Defense (a natural lip balm to soothe and prevent cold sores), Vi Dab (an anti-infective) and our MainelyMoisture line of skin lotions and hair products. We also produce OmegaMaine Pet Oil for dogs and cats.
Sponsor Highlight – Paleo Treats
We’re excited to welcome first time sponsor Paleo Treats to the 2012 Winter Shakedown!
“Paleo treats are cookies and chocolate bars made for followers of the Paleo diet. Like cage-fighting for your mouth, best enjoyed on the side of a mountain while you watch the thunderheads roll in and prepare for nature to wash you clean of your sins and shiver away your fears, paleo treats are for those who enjoy the intensities of life.
We work hard, we always compete, we don’t have a trophy room but we do have a few good dogs. We like animals and swearing, we naturally chase after fast moving objects, our genetics gravitate us to the realm of fear and unknowing and struggle and victory.
We ally ourselves with nature but are never surprised when that pure and pitiless bitch turns on us with the fury of a midnight hurricane. We take our licks and get back up, knowing that we are only human and can achieve nothing more than intensity of experience.
We love hard, play hard, laugh our goddamn guts out, and sleep easy.
We cook hard, and our kitchen is a raucous maelstrom of cursing laughing striving and mixing. We use the best ingredients we can find. We keep it Paleo and try to stay in the Zone.
We stay away from salt and preservatives, drink a shot-glass of fish oil a day, and we’re waiting for the rest of the world to start eating like paleo-humans not fat plastic processing machines.”
