Supplements can be a bit of a love\hate topic but we believe taking them can be a brilliant way to balance out diagnosed deficiencies and help support a healthy, balanced lifestyle. What you may or may not know is that not all supplements are created equal and their effectiveness can vary greatly. Just take a stroll down the supplement aisle at your local health food store and you can see just how many different brands and varieties there are. Confused as to which one to go for? We’d expect you to be! It can be a real challenge to make informed decisions when buying supplements and while everyone is unique, there is one golden rule of thumb we stick by that helps us narrow down the search (a lot). 

We always choose supplements that are predominantly food-based. Not made in a lab and not chock full of synthetic fillers and bulking ingredients! One brand who are completely aligned with this is Garden Of Life. They, like us, are fanatical about food and truly believe that natural supplements offer a far superior benefit for your health and overall wellbeing. Whether they’re making a vitamin, a probiotic or a protein powder, they always start with real foods to provide their formulas with the power to be their best. As dedicated as they are over what goes into their products, they are even more obsessed about the things they vow to keep out of them. Anything artificial, synthetic, chemical-based and just all-round unnecessary they leave to the mass-produced brands. 

Uncompromising about your health, they pride themselves on a much slower manufacturing process. A fresh stance in an otherwise fast-paced, all-about-efficiency industry. Made by hand, the ingredients that make up their food-based supplements are grown in rich organic non-GMO soil with enough sun, air, water and time for them to be their best. Once harvested, they are transformed into power-packed nutritious food supplements.

Garden of Life’s commitment to health goes beyond offering some of the most effective nutritional products in the world. They’re interested in building relationships with people to help them transform their lives to attain extraordinary health. By combining the best of nature and science, the Garden of Life brand offers a path to healthy living with premium products that are supported by education and innovation. Hell. To. The. Yes!
