Garden Of Life - Whole Food In A Capsule
Nutritional supplement is one of the hottest products in the market these days. It is estimated that more than half of adult Americans use vitamin supplements regularly. Many people also consume mineral supplements, digestive enzymes and herbal supplements. But are all supplements made equal? While many manufacturers are producing cheap isolated vitamins and mineral supplements, Garden of Life is setting a new standard in nutritional supplements with all natural whole food ingredients.
Garden of Life products include broad spectrum probiotic formula with beneficial live microorganisms, broad spectrum digestive enzymes, super green formula packed with antioxidant green grasses, micro algae, whole vegetables and their juice, broad-base whole food vitamin and mineral supplements containing whole fruits, vegetables, mushroom and herbs, and other functional foods.
The advantages of whole food supplements are easy to explain. First of all, they are more like food than isolated vitamins. They are easier to absorb and metabolize, and less likely to cause toxic effect due to overdose. Secondly, they contain micronutrients and phytonutrients that are absent in isolated or synthetic vitamins and minerals. Some of these nutrients are cofactors required for proper absorption and assimilation of essential nutrients. Some active phytonutrients work synergistically, i.e. their beneficial effects increase when they are consumed together. Some nutrients are not biologically active themselves, but potentiate the effects of other active ingredients.
People talk about the price being a little higher for whole food supplements but when it comes to health and nutrition, there is something else to consider other than the price. The question is: would you prefer isolated vitamins and minerals and take them as ‘drugs’ or a complete matrix of food nutrients found in nature?
