Good For You & The Earth
Garden of Life recently introduced several new additions to its excellent line. PERFECT FOOD has two new Perfect Food blends: ALKALIZER & DETOXIFIER and ENERGIZER. All Perfect Food versions are chock full of nutrient-dense foods including non-GMO, organically grown grass and vegetable juices plus a variety of sprouts. Perfect Food is for you if you want naturally occurring, whole food nutrition that includes amino acids, essential fatty acids, trace minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, probiotics and more.
NOURISH YOUR BODY
Garden of Life uses sprouted grains, seeds and legumes for a complete amino acid protein profile. Sprouting maintains raw-nutrient density, increases the bio-availability of nutrients and improves digestibility. They also use highly nutritious cereal grass juices from immature barley, alfalfa, oats, wheat and kamut. These grasses are harvested at their nutritional peak and immediately juiced and freeze-dried to maintain freshness, nutrient potency and enzyme activity. Juice grass powders are highly digestible and richer in nutrients than fresh grass. Thirty-three pounds of fresh grass makes one pound of grass juice powder which is rich in chlorophyll, an antioxidant that rejuvenates red blood cells, helps clear toxins from the liver and improves kidney function as well as iron absorption.
Enzymes are present in all raw foods. They enhance our ability to digest and assimilate nutrients. Probiotics (beneficial microbes) are essential for optimal digestion, immune function and much more. Each serving of Perfect Food contains over a dozen organic raw sprouts, over seventeen nutrient-dense veggie juices plus live probiotics and enzymes. It is also vegan and dairy- and soy-free with no added sugar or fillers. And, of course, no preservatives or synthetic chemicals. You get such super concentrated nutrition that it’s easy to see why they named it PERFECT FOOD.
NOURISH THE EARTH
To create their superior products while supporting small, family-owned organic farms, Garden of Life sources ingredients from American organic farms whenever possible: flax from North Dakota and wheat grass from Utah, for example. The company actually owns an organic chia seed farm in Florida, the only source of organic chia grown in the U.S. In addition, they buy from organic/natural farms world wide: organic baobab from Africa, sustainably grown cacao from the Amazon rainforest and fair-trade Guayaki Yerba Mate, to name a few. They also pay a fair price for their raw materials so farmers can support their families and improve their lives. By purchasing Garden of Life’s Perfect Food products you are helping to reduce toxic chemical use and safeguard the soil’s nutrients and microbes that sustain the ecosystem which sustains us, creating a better life today and for generations to come.
