Study after study has shown that anyone who doesn't consume 5-10 servings of vegetables per day is missing out on nature's ultimate insurance policy. Vegetables provide the body with compounds not found in other foods including: enzymes, minerals, antioxidants and chlorophyll. Vegetables are nature's richest source of carotenoids including beta carotene and lycopene. By taking Perfect Food' every day, you'll never have to go without your 5-10 servings of veggies.
Only 9% of Americans consume the recommended 5 servings of veggies per day; even less consume 3-5 servings of green leafy vegetables.
Whole Food Nutrition vs Vitamin & 
          Mineral Supplements
          People often wonder if they should also supplement with a green food 
          blend while taking a multiple 
          vitamin/mineral formula. Whole foods provide vitamins and minerals as 
          nature intended, with all of the naturally occurring co-factors and 
          synergistic compounds in tact. They contain hundreds, and 
          possibly thousands, of yet to be discovered nutrients, that cannot be 
          isolated and put into a 
          vitamin / mineral supplement.
          With whole foods and their concentrates containing complete nutritional 
          complexes, the body is able to recognize these as food, easily assimilating 
          what it needs and excreting what it doesn't this is called "selective 
          absorption". Most vitamin and mineral supplements however, are 
          made from fractionated, isolated, or synthetic sources, leaving your 
          body no choice but to deal with these incomplete substances, thus creating 
          a potential environment of bio-chemical imbalances and toxicities. 
For optimal health, there is nothing better or more compatible to the 
          human body than nutrient-rich, unprocessed whole foods in their balanced, 
          natural state. Perfect Food is a new standard in whole 
          food nutrition.
Grass, A Perfect Food
          Nutrient-Rich Grasses: Cereal grasses are the only foods in the vegetable 
          kingdom that, even if 
          consumed alone, enable animals to continually maintain weight, strength, 
          and optimal health. Grasses are considered to be at, or near, the base 
          of the terrestrial food chain. The powers of the sun that are trapped 
          in its blades produce rich amounts of chlorophyll and other green photosynthetic 
          
          pigments. 
The grasses, known today as green superfoods, supply many nutritional 
          factors that even now 
          scientists cannot duplicate in a vitamin or mineral pill. Grass is perhaps 
          the most nutrient-dense food on this green earth, richer in nutrients 
          than spinach, broccoli, eggs and chicken in virtually all categories 
          including protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, 
          zinc, copper, manganese, 
          vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin 
          B12, carotenoids, and vitamin E. They abound in unidentified growth 
          factors, powerful antioxidants, immune boosters, and many other health 
          supporting nutrients.
Why Garden of Life Perfect Food ?
          In today's hectic lifestyle, it's nearly impossible to eat 
          enough vegetables, especially greens, to satisfy our body's needs. 
          Because of this, we are depriving ourselves of nature's ultimate 
          insurance policy. Perfect Food was created to meet the demands 
          of our fast-paced lives, by supplying every nutrient our body requires 
          to sustain optimal levels of health. 
A balance of nutrient-dense, enzyme-rich live foods, Garden of Life Perfect Food contains antioxidant green grasses, micro-algae, sea vegetables, whole vegetables and their juices, sprouted grains, seeds, legumes, and acerola cherries one of nature's most abundant food source of vitamin C.
What's in Garden of Life Perfect Food ?
          Perfect Food contains the highest quality ingredients on the planet. 
          Many other products use large amounts of inexpensive ingredients such 
          as lecithin, apple fiber and flax seed meal. While these 
          compounds do provide some benefit, they are not nearly as beneficial 
          as nutrient rich whole foods such as greens. These filler ingredients 
          significantly reduce the manufacturer's cost of the product. Considering 
          the cost of green superfoods, inexpensive ingredients used as fillers 
          such as lecithin, apple fiber, rice bran and flax meal should not represent 
          more than 10% of the product. If you look at the competing brands, the 
          aforementioned ingredients typically make up over 30% of the product 
          by weight. Perfect Food contains over 8500mg of highly concentrated 
          absorbable green foods with no filler ingredients. Perfect Food 
          is high in nutrition and low in calories, making it ideal for those 
          on low carbohydrate diets. 
Why not take vitamin and mineral pills 
          instead of Garden of Life Perfect Food
          Whole foods contain hundreds and possibly thousands of yet to be discovered 
          nutrients that cannot be isolated. Many of these nutrients provide amazing 
          health benefits. With foods and food concentrates that contain whole 
          nutritional complexes, the body can assimilate what it needs and excrete 
          what it does not need; this is called selective absorption. On the other 
          hand, with isolated and/ or synthetic vitamins, there is no choice. 
          The body must handle the chemical in some manner and can suffer consequences 
          of bio-chemical imbalances and toxic overdose. (New Hope for Incurable 
          Diseases, E. Cheraskin & W.M. Ringsdorf Jr., 1971) Vitamins and 
          minerals are devoid of living nutrients such as enzymes. Have you ever 
          seen anyone plant vitamin pills in the ground and grow a vitamin bush? 
          The nutrient dense enzyme rich "live foods" contained in Perfect 
          Food provide vitamins and minerals as nature intended, with all 
          of the co-factors and synergistic compounds. Try Perfect Food for 
          one month and feel the difference real food makes! 
          
          
          * Total Green Foods: grass juices, microalgae (i.e. blue-green algae), 
          green and sea vegetables.
          + Garden of life defines "Filler Ingredients" as follows: lecithin, 
          apple fiber and pectin, oat bran, Jerusalem artichoke, barley malt, 
          maltodextrin, rice bran with fiber, or sweeteners, etc. These are not 
          inferior ingredients, but they are much less nutrient dense than greens 
          and significantly less expensive.
