What our Customers Say

Linda Case

I just downloaded your software and am learning how to use the program. I am just playing with the recipes a bit to see how a change in the amount of a particular ingredient (for example, kelp), changes the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. It works great, by the way, and is so interesting to watch how the nutrient analysis changes with modifications.

Lisa Pryne

I absolutely love this program! I'm able to create healthy raw meals for my pup, and know that she's getting everything she needs because I can see all of the nutrient levels like vitamins, minerals, macro nutrients, and micro nutrients. This software is really easy to use and is just absolutely amazing!

Debbie

I recently started using this software and I am very happy with it. Much better than doing your own calculations. I have used BalanceIT in the past but this software gives me more flexibility and more options. It is useful not only for preparing 100% homemade recipes, but also for evaluating store-bought food and  preparing recipes that are part store-bought and part homemade.
