Why do you need
a multivitamin?
- Our bodies do not produce vitamins, so they must come
from an outside source.
- The Standard American Diet (SAD) contains foods that
have been stripped of many of their healthy components and are devoid of
many vitamins and minerals.
- The Standard American Diet (SAD) is usually low in
antioxidants and can cause free radical damage that can compromise
cellular health. Living Multi is rich in antioxidants which can help the
body cope with oxidative stress.†
How is Living Multi different from other vitamins and
minerals?
- Made from natural whole food ingredients, most of which
are organic, Living Multi Optimal is one of the most comprehensive whole
food based supplements available, providing vitamins, minerals and
nutrients in body-ready whole food form.
- Living Multi Optimal is a natural supermarket of 76
whole food concentrates in a unique blend of antioxidant-rich# ingredients
derived from naturally grown and organic fruits, vegetables, tonic
mushrooms, sea vegetables, and botanicals, plus ionic trace minerals.
- Living Multi Optimal is formulated with the following
proprietary whole food blends: Antioxidant Fruit and Veggie Blend,
Poten-Zyme Veggie Juice Blend, Poten-Zyme Sea Veggie Blend, Poten-Zyme
Tonic Mushroom Blend, and Antioxidant Beverage and Spice Blend.
- Living Multi Optimal is the only formula that contains
Living Nutrients. Living Nutrients are better for your body because they
are more like food than isolated vitamins, but with guaranteed potency in
a whole food source. Living Nutrients are body friendly, containing
bioactive components that the body recognizes. The Poten-Zyme process
makes them easy on the stomach, and because your body recognizes Living
Nutrients as food, they are better absorbed and more body-ready than
isolated vitamins and minerals.
Why should you use Living Multi Optimal Formula?
- Living Multi Optimal Formula delivers nutrients in
their whole food form. Often multivitamin products made with isolated
vitamins have been stripped of their supportive compounds and may not
provide the biological activity of whole food based nutrients.
- If you are looking specifically for a whole food
multivitamin, then you should take Living Multi because of its wide
variety of high quality whole food ingredients, and it is the only product
available with Living Nutrients formed through the Garden of Life
proprietary Poten-Zyme fermentation process.
- Living Multi Optimal also comes in Men’s and Women’s
versions, specifically formulated to support the unique health needs of
men and women.
Why was Living Multi reformulated?
At Garden of Life it is our commitment to bring you the
best in whole food nutritional supplements. In order to do this, we
constantly research new ingredients and review the latest scientific
literature to ensure our products provide optimal benefit.
The previous formulation contained 62 whole food
ingredients and the new upgraded formula has 76. We've added new ingredients
such as sprouted nutrients, which are sprouted for 3 days so they are rich
in enzymes and nutrients. We've also added 4 new ingredients to the
Antioxidant Beverage & Spice blend.
The caplets now contain a more concentrated nutrient
content which makes them smaller and much easier to swallow.
