About Garden of Life
Garden of Life are fanatical about food
Whether Garden of Life are making a vitamin, or a probiotic, or a protein powder, they always start with real foods, and these (foods) provide their formulas the power to be their best. They’re different that way, too. The synthetically created chemical “breakthroughs” from huge commercial laboratories around the world are not for them. Let the other guys sell those “supplements.” No thanks.
As fanatical as they are over what goes into their products, they are even more obsessed about the things they keep out of them. Garden of Life hate those synthetic chemicals that most companies use to make their products. This stuff makes machines work faster, and helps factories churn out super-sized containers at higher “efficiency.” Well, while the other guys spend their time preoccupied with their efficiency, they are uncompromising about your health. Slow it down, make it by hand, grow it in rich organic non-GMO soil with enough sun, air, water and time for it to be its best. Harvest it when ready. Treat it with care. Turn it into a power-packed nutritious food supplement. That’s what they’re are about.
The three guiding principles:
- The Science of Whole Food
Your body was created to eat, process, and derive its nutrition from food—real, healthy food. So, when Garden of Life create products, they start by looking at food. What is the “good stuff” in the highest quality food that we are missing in our diets? Which of those foods have the greatest potential to impact—and empower—extraordinary health?
- Clean is healthy
Garden of Life start with what goes IN their products—whole food ingredients. But they don’t stop there. They also pay very close attention to what they keep OUT of them. And once again, Garden of Life look at food—real nutritious food. When was the last time you picked up an apple, turned to read the ingredients, and saw a list of chemicals? If it’s not in your food, Garden of Life don’t want it in their supplements. They use third-party (never self-affirmed) certifications to prove they are clean!
- Traceability
Traceability is key to what makes Garden of Life’s products so special. Traceability starts with knowing where each and every ingredient in their products comes from and getting to know each and every source: where it’s grown; the farming practices; how they pay and treat the farm workers—everything.
Just look at Garden of Life’s formulas. Their mykind Organics line co-founded with Alicia Silverstone is made with Organic fruit and herbs—every single product in this line is Certified USDA Organic and NON GMO VERIFIED by the NON GMO PROJECT.
That’s why it’s so important to start with Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified fruits and vegetables that are grown without these chemicals. Garden of Life want to get the good stuff from foods that are grown without any of the bad stuff.
Garden of Life do it because it’s the only way they know to deliver on our promise of Empowering Extraordinary Health.
Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein
Garden of Life’s vegan protein powders are not just for vegans. Using only the finest Certified Organic and Non-GMO Verified ingredients, they offer plant-based protein for those seeking a daily nutritional boost, a balanced meal replacement, and for those seeking to manage their weight.
Raw matters because heat and processing can denature protein, reducing its availability to the body. Garden of Life’s organic vegan protein powders are produced at low temperatures, without any added fillers or carriers, preserving their complete amino acid integrity and they have a delicious smooth texture and flavour.
