Perfect Food Raw 209g powder Garden of Life

1. The Science of Whole Food

Your body was created to eat, process, and derive its nutrition from food—real, healthy food.  So, when we create our products, we 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?

2. Clean is healthy

We start with what goes IN our products—true, whole food ingredients. But we don’t stop there. We also pay very close attention to what we keep OUT of them.  And once again, we look at food—real nutrition food. When is 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, then we don’t want it in our supplements.  We use the following third-party (never self-affirmed) certifications to prove we are clean!  Click on them below and see.

3. Traceability

Traceability is key to what makes Garden of Life’s products so special. Traceability starts with knowing where each and every ingredient in our 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.

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. We want to get the good stuff from foods that are grown without any of the bad stuff.

We do it because it’s the only way we know to deliver on our promise of Empowering Extraordinary Health

Super green foods are derived from young cereal grasses like wheat, barley, rye, oats and alfalfa, as well as spirulina, chlorella, kelp, dulse and other sea vegetables. Perhaps the most nutrient-dense foods on earth, these grasses are richer in nutrients than spinach, broccoli, eggs & chicken in virtually all categories including protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, carotenoids & vitamin E.

Super green foods are the only foods in the vegetable kingdom that enable animals to continually maintain their weight, strength & optimal health even if consumed alone. They are full of unidentified growth factors, powerful antioxidants, immune boosters & many other health enhancing nutrients. 

The whole foods found in Garden of Life's product Perfect Food provide vitamins and minerals as nature intended, with all the naturally occurring co-factors & synergistic compounds intact. They contain hundreds and hundreds of nutrients that cannot be isolated and put into a vitamin and mineral supplement.

Whole foods and their concentrates contain complete nutritional complexes the body recognizes and assimilates according to what it needs. This is a process called "selective absorption." In contrast, most vitamin and mineral supplements are made from fractionated, isolated or synthetic sources that can potentially create an environment of biochemical imbalances and toxicities.

For optimal health, there's nothing better or more compatible to the human body than nutrient-rich, unprocessed whole foods in their balanced, natural state, like those found in Garden of Life's Perfect Food.
