The Poten-Zyme™ Process
Enhanced Nutrition, Maximum Results
Our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process is an important reason for the superiority of Garden of Life® products. Fermentation is critical because it makes our products more digestible or bioavailable, unlocks unique nutrient compounds, enriches them with probiotic cultures, and preserves and increases nutritional value
While most supplement manufacturers use processes that strip away valuable nutrients, Garden of Life uses cutting-edge technology to apply an ancient fermentation process to produce the most effective, whole food nutrition available. In addition, while some competitors may ferment for as little as four hours, depending on the formulation, the Garden of Life® fermentation process can be as long as 21 days. This is because we ferment the optimal amount of time to complete the full lifecycle of the probiotic microorganisms used in fermentation. Poten-Zyme™ utilizes three classes of microorganisms to achieve maximum results (aerobic, anaerobic, and photosynthetic) which is dictated by the specific formula itself. Furthermore, Garden of Life actively manages the Poten-Zyme™ process, unlike many of our competitors who take a more hands-off approach, allowing their suppliers to ferment to an established standard specification, as opposed to developing a material and product-specific culture, process, and controls for each individual fermented material or blend. Finally, the Poten-Zyme™ process uses a synergistic balance of beneficial bacilli, lactobacilli, lactic acid yeast, and other probiotics. Many of our competitors utilize only yeast in their fermentation process, which does not allow for the full functional range of bioconversion that balanced, controlled culture blends can initiate. The Poten-Zyme™ process enables Garden of Life to produce nutritional supplements that are alive with enzymes and beneficial bioorganisms.
The Poten-Zyme™ process is proprietary to Garden of Life, and therefore unique to our nutritional supplements. The Poten-Zyme™ process utilizes an exclusive synergistic culture of live enzymes and probiotics to predigest the powerful raw materials in Garden of Life® formulas, typically fresh, and as often as possible, organic fruits and vegetables, breaking them down to their most basic elements, and making them body ready or more bio-available. As a result, The Poten-Zyme™ process creates nutritional supplements that ease the work of the digestive system to deliver nutrients where they are needed most, delivering an original combination of nutrients that are easy to digest and assimilate.
While the Poten-Zyme™ probiotics and enzymes work on breaking down the raw materials, they also interact with the whole food substrate to create new nutrient combinations or compounds. These beneficial compounds include numerous nutrients that would otherwise not exist in this form, such as additional enzymes, antioxidants, beta glucans, phytosterols and other unique phytonutrients. In fact, the whole foods found in Garden of Life® products contain hundreds, and possibly thousands of nutrients that may not be found in most other vitamin and mineral supplements.
