FAQ about Vitamin Code vitamins

Frequently Asked Questions

 

  1. Q: Why did Garden of Life come out with a new Line of Multivitamins?
A: Garden of Life strives to offer customers cutting edge products based on scientific advances in producing natural food products and dietary supplements. A new unique method producing RAW Food -Created Nutrients™ has enabled Garden of Life to produce the new VIT∆MIN CODE® line.
 
  1. Q: What is VIT∆MIN CODE®?
A: VIT∆MIN CODE™ is a new cutting edge line of raw food vitamins. VIT∆MIN CODE® formulas are made with individually cultivated RAW Food-Created Nutrients™ with their unique Code Factors™ intact, enabling natural recognition as food by your body.
 
  1. Q: What are RAW Food-Created Nutrients™?
A: Raw Food-Created Nutrients™ are delivered “body ready”, including live enzymes and probiotics, amino acids, antioxidants and other bioactive Code Factors™ to nourish as intended by nature.
 
  1. Q: How is VIT∆MIN CODE® Raw and is it processed or treated in any way?
A: All VIT∆MIN CODE® formulas and ingredients have been thoroughly reviewed and audited to ensure they are uncooked, untreated and unadulterated. Additionally, they contain none of the binders or fillers that many other vitamin formulas contain. VIT∆MIN CODE® formulas are delivered in capsule form, avoiding high heat or high pressure in the manufacturing process.
 
  1. Q: What are the benefits of consuming a Raw Vitamin?
A: Naturally occurring vitamins and minerals contained in whole foods are accompanied by essential co-factors that enable the absorption and utilization of such vitamin or mineral in the body. Cooking, treating and adulterating food robs it of many of those co-factors. VIT∆MIN CODE® formulas also contain live enzymes and probiotics.
 
  1. Q: What is a Nutrient Specific Peptide?
A: Each vitamin and mineral has its own unique sequence of peptides required for uptake and then absorption into the yeast or probiotic bacterium as a part of the Raw Food-Created Nutrient™ process. The peptide attaches to the vitamin or mineral and allows it to successfully be metabolized or “fed” to the yeast or probiotic bacterium.
 
  1. Q: What does Nutrient Synergy mean?
A: Nutrient Synergy is when vitamins and minerals, along with their nutritional co-factors, work together to facilitate absorption in the body. 
 
  1. Q: How do Food-Created vitamins differ from Fermented Vitamins and Minerals like Living Multi® and what is the difference between Food-Created and Fermented Vitamins and Minerals?

A: Fermentation is an ancient process where whole foods are broken down and partially digested by probiotic microorganisms in order to either preserve food or make it more digestible. In an effort to create vitamins and minerals closer to food form, a fermentation process is used to combine food concentrates and isolated vitamins and minerals. Fermentation is the breaking down or decomposing of compounds.

Raw Food-Created Nutrients™ are cultivated or grown in single batches rather than fermented. Imagine growing a plant in the garden, and adding extra calcium to the soil to yield a plant rich in calcium. Now, the creation of nutrients is not the same as growing a plant, but this analogy helps to understand the way Raw-Food Created Nutrients are grown and cultivated. The yeast or bacteria is cultivated in water and “fed” a vitamin or mineral to yield a food based yeast or probiotic based matrix that is rich in that particular vitamin or mineral. Raw Food-Created Nutrients™ are grown in both S. cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) and the probiotic Lactobacillus bulgaricus to provide a broader spectrum of Code Factors™.
