Just like his twin, NutriGirl, NutriGuy derives his power from foods. In his case, however, he needs concentrated forms of food to active his superpowers. These concentrated foods are called nutraceuticals.
Since each superhero is unique, the combination of nutraceuticals that NutriGuy would give in his Hero Packs will vary according to the needs of the superhero.
He works on several approaches at once:
- Supporting ToxClear with detoxification
- Energizing tired brains and mitochondria
- Allowing for better brain function
- Assisting with memory and concentration
- Assisting with lowering of anxiety
- Lowering inflammation
