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.
