Foundational Nutrition: Perfect Food

Super Green Formula

   Perfect Food: Number 1 Selling Green Food Supplement

Perfect Food from Garden of Life USA is the number #1 selling Green Food product in the Natural Health Supplements Products Industry. It has more greens per serving than other leading green food formulas. One serving of Perfect Food Green Powder is equivalent to 140g of fresh grass juice.

   How Many Servings A Day?

Nearly every major health organization recommends eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables per day to maintain health. Yet, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, less than nine percent of American adults consume the recommended number of servings.

One way to make sure you are receiving the nutritional benefits of multiple servings of fruits and vegetables is through green food supplementation. Perfect Food Super Green Formula has more greens per serving than other leading green food formulas. Other formulas often load their products with non-greens and fillers. While many of these non-greens are important and have a definite nutritional benefit, no other type of food source provides the nutritional benefit of green foods. That is why Perfect Food Super Green Formula Powder contains over 8000mg of greens per serving.

   Incredible Ingredients

Perfect Food Green Powder is packed with loads of healthy vitamins, nutrients and ingredients. This supplement is an excellent source of natural Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene and a good source of natural Vitamin C. It also contains spirulina which supports a healthy immune system and overall functionality. Perfect Food Green Powder also contains algae and cereal grasses which provide a natural source of alkalizing minerals. Select ingredients in Perfect Food Super Green Formula are produced through the Garden of Life proprietary Poten-Zyme fermentation process to make the nutrients more available to the body.

   Fermentation Process

This advanced fermentation process uses living probiotic organisms and their enzymes to digest nutrients into food forms that your body can easily assimilate. The resulting Living Nutrients" are complexes of vitamins and minerals that have been potentiated by our process and converted to a more body-friendly form. Living Nutrients contain the necessary cofactors required for proper absorption and utilization, including enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics and organic acids. Whole food based supplements have high nutritional value because they contain natural bioactive compounds called phytonutrients which are well-documented for their role in optimizing overall health. It is estimated that there may be more than 100 different phytonutrients in just oneserving of vegetables.

There are two important phases to our exclusive Poten-Zyme" process. In the first phase, we introduce a select variety of probiotic micro-organisms, also known as live cultures, into the base vitamin and mineral blend. Under exacting time and temperature conditions, these bioactive probiotic cultures initiate the breakdown of the cell walls of the whole-foods and nutrients making them more body-ready and easier to digest by the body. In addition, the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients bind to the cell walls of probiotic cultures, converting them into a food form that is easily recognized by the body.

The second phase completes the conversion to living nutrients through the introduction of a second set of live probiotic strains, such as Lactobacillus plantarum, also normally found in the human gut. Lactobacillus produces lactic acid and acts as a chelating agent that completes the assimilation of the nutrients into a food form. Our unique selection of probiotic strains results in a low pH once the fermentation process is complete. During the final phase of fermentation, the yeast is eliminated and the vitamins and minerals are converted into a body-friendly food form. The end result is a predigested nutrient in a living food-form that is gentle on the stomach and easily absorbed by the body. This Poten-Zyme" process is exclusive to Garden of Life, and distinguishes our brand from any other supplements available in the market today.

   What are super green foods and why do I need them?

Super green foods is a term usually used to describe young cereal grasses such as wheat, barley, oats and alfalfa, as well as spirulina, chlorella, kelp and other sea vegetables. A diet comprised of super green foods enables grass-eating animals to continually maintain their weight, strength, and vibrant health.

   If I'm already taking a vitamin supplement, why do I need Perfect Food?

The whole foods found in Perfect Food provide vitamins and minerals as nature intended, but it goes beyond just that. Perfect Food also delivers naturally occurring cofactors and synergistic compounds by utilizing concentrates and juices instead of extracts and isolates. Whole foods and their concentrates are ingredients on which no chemical extraction has been performed. When nutrients are stripped of their cofactors as a result of extraction, it may alter the nutrients' utilization. In addition, these cofactors might have additional, antioxidant benefits. In contrast, most widely available vitamin and mineral supplements are made from fractionated, isolated or synthetic sources that can potentially create an environment of biochemical imbalances. For optimal health, there's nothing better than nutrient-rich, unprocessed whole foods in their balanced, natural state, like those found in Perfect Food.
