Giving Back
An estimated 190 million children under five suffer from vitamin A deficiency,
a major underlying cause of child mortality. Vitamin Angels is dedicated to
eliminating under-five child mortality in at-risk populations simply by reaching
children with the necessary vitamin A. Garden of Life has been a major force
behind Vitamin Angels’ quest since 2009.
Another major initiative is partnering with SOS Children’s Villages International
(www.sos-childrenvillages.org) to help raise funds to build a house in Peru for
children who can no longer grow up with their biological families. Other
well-deserving organizations that Garden of Life supports include The Organic
Center, WomenHeart and the National Parkinson Foundation.

Where Do Multivitamins Come From?
Hint: They Don’t Grow on Trees
Since Garden of Life® was founded, we’ve always wanted
to make a multivitamin that was from real, nutritious
organic foods. We’re not alone in that goal. To
understand why, it’s helpful to have a brief look at history.
Birth of Synthetic Vitamins
During World War II, military doctors
understood that armies living on
canned, processed rations for months at
a time, and with limited access to fresh
fruits and vegetables, were especially
vulnerable to nutrient deficiency
diseases. So, synthetic vitamins were
created by using the newly developed
technology of making plastic from
inexpensive and widely available
petroleum. They succeeded in isolating,
fermenting and synthesizing singlenutrient vitamins.
But what we have been missing in
multivitamins is nutrients from real,
honest food—full of essential
“co-factors” that help the body to
absorb, process and utilize
vitamins and minerals.
Next Up: Reverse
Engineered Nature
The industry spent the next two
decades on a strange path of invention.
Rather than starting with real food and
working all the way down to a tablet,
scientists reverse engineered nature—
starting with synthetic vitamins and
finding a way to make them more like
real food.
We credit Dr. Endre “Andy” Szalay,
a Hungarian pharmacist, as
the first scientist to “crack
the code.” By combining
a synthesized vitamin
with a plant in which
it could grow
(yeast), and
introducing
growth agents
(sugars) as well as
specific peptides, Andy created what we
believe to be the first “cultured whole
food” vitamin. The new vitamin C, for
example, was more affordable, more
convenient, and most importantly, more
concentrated than the vitamin C in an
orange and it contained some of the food
factors that were present in that orange.
All of today’s leading “whole food”
vitamin companies—including Garden
of Life—use cultured or grown whole
food nutrients. Whether it’s grown,
cultured or complexed, all whole food
vitamins begin with an isolated nutrient.
The “Holy Grail” of Multivitamins
Finally, after years of progress, Garden
of Life® introduces Kind Organics—a
multivitamin from real, nutritious,
organic food.

The First Whole Food Multivitamin
Made from Real, Honest, Nutritious Foods
A few years ago, we began our relationship with an innovator who holds multiple
international patents for this novel process of harvesting vitamins from organic
fruits and herbs. His research meant that we could now offer a rich concentration
of nutrients that came from real, honest, nutritious food!
Each Kind Organics multivitamin formula is made from real food—over 30 fruits,
vegetables and herbs—making them rich in powerful plant-derived phytochemicals
and cofactors such as antioxidants, carotenoids, flavanols, isoflavones, catechins,
anthocyanins, polyphenols, vitamins and trace minerals. All of this goodness is
wrapped up using Garden of Life’s patent-pending Clean Tablet Technology™.†

Your Pregnancy and Nutrition
By Dawn Jarvis, MS, RD, LDN Garden of Life® Corporate Nutritionist
Dawn Thorpe Jarvis is a
licensed Nutritionist and
Registered Dietitian with
a passion for natural
health. She has more
than 30 years of nutrition
education experience.
It is natural for pregnant mothers,
particularly first time moms, to worry
about whether they are they eating
enough and if they are getting all
the essential nutrients necessary for
themselves and their baby. Here are
some key elements to consider for a
healthy pregnancy and baby.

It Starts with Iron
Iron-deficiency anemia is common in
pregnant women since the amount of
iron that a woman requires increases to
make enough blood cells for you and
your baby. It’s tough to get all the iron
you need from your daily diet. That’s
why Kind Organics Prenatal Multi
includes 18mg of natural plant iron
that comes from easy-to-digest organic
curry leaves. Research shows that iron
absorption and utilization in the
body is greatly enhanced by adding
vitamin C and bioflavonoids so we also
included organic amla berry which is
rich in these vital nutrients.
Now Onto B vitamins
Kind Organics Prenatal Multi
B vitamins are very important to health
because they help the body obtain
energy from food and they also help
form red blood cells. Most women
experience tiredness during pregnancy
therefore adequate intake of B vitamins
is essential for maintaining good energy
levels. Kind Organics Prenatal Multi
contains organic guava and holy basil
which are high in energizing B1, B2, B3,
B6 and Pantothenic acid.†
Finally, a prenatal multivitamin that’s
Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO
Project Verified and made from real,
nutritious foods. Formulated with
clinically-researched nutrients to:
•H
elp your body prepare for pregnancy†
•N
ourish and protect you and your baby
during pregnancy†
•P
rovide the boost you need while
breastfeeding†
All-Important Folate
An important B vitamin found naturally
in green leafy plants, folate is used by
the body to make new cells, including
those that will form the brain, spine,
organs, skin and bones of a baby. Folate
deficiency can result in megaloblastic
anemia, which causes weakness, fatigue,
irritability and headache. For pregnancy,
800mcg is usually recommended to
prevent neural tube defects. Kind
Organics contains organic lemon peel
providing 800mcg of food-based folate to
help keep mother and baby healthy.†
Made from easy-to-digest, real,
nutritious organic foods that won’t upset
your stomach, Kind Organics Prenatal
Multi is the right choice for you and
your unborn baby.
Ginger & Peppermint for Nausea
Kind Organics Prenatal Multi contains
organic ginger and peppermint to
help alleviate feelings of nausea and
morning sickness, typically associated
with pregnancy.†

Concerned About Your Bone Health?
You Should Be . . .
Bone Loss and You
The Surgeon General predicted over
a decade ago that bone disease and
fractures “will have a tremendous
negative impact on the future wellbeing of Americans.” As we age, the
renewal of bone structure slows,
causing bones to lose density and
become more porous and brittle,
resulting in unexpected fractures.
When talking about bone loss, the
increased risk of osteoporosis should
be of major concern. Some of the
statistics should bring this home:
• Osteoporosis leads to 1.5 million
fractures per year—mostly hip, spine
and wrist. (National Institutes of
Health)
• Osteoporosis afflicts 52 million
Americans. (National Osteoporosis
Foundation)
• One in two women past the age of 50
will break a bone due to osteoporosis.
(National Osteoporosis Foundation)
• By the year 2020, half of all
Americans over age 50 are
expected to have low bone density or
osteoporosis. (National Osteoporosis
Foundation)
Over the years, clinical studies have
underscored the importance of
calcium and bone health, including
a New England Journal of Medicine
study showing that taking calcium
and vitamin D supplements tends to
improve bone density and maintain
strong bones and teeth.††
NON
GMO
††Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthful diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.

What Can You Do?
There are several things you can do to fight
bone loss.
Eat more calcium-rich foods. It sounds
simple, but the truth is we should be eating more
dark green veggies and organic dairy products
to increase our calcium intake. This goes for
people of all ages—not just those who are
over the age of 50.
Exercise more. Exercise and physical activity are
an important part of building and maintaining
strong, healthy bones. A good all-around
program incorporates weight-bearing strengthtraining exercises at least three times per week—
more often if possible.
Supplement your diet with a quality food
based calcium formula. Did you know that
many of the leading calcium brands are made
from ground-up, pulverized limestone? Don’t eat
crushed rocks to add calcium to your diet. You
want real, nutritious food-based calcium—that’s
why we created Kind Organics Plant Calcium.
Eating for Bone Health
Top 5 Calcium-Rich Foods
1. Dark Leafy Greens (such
as Kale, Dandelion, Turnip,
Arugula and Collard Greens)
2. M
ilk, Yogurt and Cheese
(look for grassfed and organic)
3. Sardines
4. Okra
5. Broccoli

Are You D-ficient?
Vitamin D can be found in many foods such as dairy and
fish—you can even get your dose of vitamin D simply by
sitting in the sun. And yet, many individuals could be
deficient in this all-important nutrient for their health. Why?
Certainly those who are vegan or vegetarian would not be
getting enough D3 in their diet and would want to consider
supplementation, along with those in northern climates who
don’t spend as much time outdoors in the sun. Regardless of
whether you fall into one of these categories or not, chances
are you may not be getting adequate amounts of vitamin D.
So what’s the answer? Kind Organics Vegan D3.

How Does Methylcobalamin Support
Your Health?
Vitamin B-12 (cobalamin) is a water soluble
B vitamin that is essential for:
• Metabolism
• Energy
• Formation of healthy blood cells • DNA synthesis
Methylcobalamin is the active, natural form of B-12
(equivalent to the B-12 in your body).
Who Needs B-12?
• Vegans and Vegetarians
o B-12 is found primarily in meat and dairy
• Older Adults
o 30% of those over 50 have increased unfriendly
intestinal bacteria—preventing absorption of B-12
• Pregnant Women
o Nutrients travel from mom to baby causing increased
demand on mom. Any deficiency can affect both
mom and baby.
