Vitamins: Isolates versus Whole Food Nutrition
The Case for Whole Food Nutritional Supplements
by Dr. Jordan Rubin, NMD, PhD
Whole Food Nutrition
Garden of Life believes that proper nutrition is essential to overall
health and that the most complete sources of vitamins and minerals are
found in whole foods.
We were designed to eat whole foods that contain the necessary proteins,
fats, carbohydrates, fiber, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and
other nutrients our body needs for proper nourishment and health. While
optimal nutrition is best achieved from a whole foods based diet, this is
difficult to achieve with our over-processed food supply. Supplementing
your diet with whole food nutritional supplements may be necessary to
support overall health.
Whole food based supplements have high nutritional integrity because they
contain the micronutrients, both known and unknown, that are found in
whole foods. This makes whole food based nutritional supplements a great
alternative to isolated vitamins and minerals that do not provide a
complete food matrix of “satellite” compounds found in nature.
So far, more than 25,000 different micronutrients (phytochemicals) have
been discovered in whole fruits and vegetables. Researchers are now
discovering that these phytochemicals work in concert to orchestrate a
natural harmony in our bodies
.
Garden of Life nutritional supplements are made from organically grown
(when available), nutrient dense whole foods from around the world to
provide you with high quality formulations.
Fermentation & Poten-Zyme Process
To optimize our products, Garden of Life uses probiotics in many of our
formulas and select ingredients are produced through our proprietary
Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process to make the nutrients in these
ingredients more available to the body.

Fermentation and Its Health Benefits
By Robert L Lawrence M.Ed., D.C., D.A.C.B.N.
Probiotics & HSO’s
Large scale use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals has changed
the bacterial balance in the soil and depleted our natural supply of
probiotics. In order to regain the probiotic benefits we historically
obtained from consuming foods cultivated in healthy soil, Garden of Life
developed a Homeostatic™ Soil Organism Probiotic Blend utilizing several
species of beneficial microorganisms. Many Garden of Life formulations
contain Homeostatic™ Soil Organisms to help you maintain a balanced,
healthy internal environment. *
Probiotics are beneficial living microflora that play a critical role in
maintaining good health.* These are the same or similar microorganisms as
the ones used in the fermentation of healthful foods. The healthy human
intestine contains billions of microorganisms – both good and potentially
harmful. The good bacteria in the intestine are considered an integral
part of normal immune system support.
Probiotics are also important because they can synthesize certain vitamins
and short-chain fatty acids to support a healthy intestinal lining and
bolster immunity. * When your intestinal lining is occupied by healthy
beneficial flora it leaves unwelcome micro- organisms deprived of both
space and nutrients.
