To provide the highest quality whole food supplements, Garden of Life utilizes a capletting process that delivers large amounts of active ingredients in an efficient amount of space. Our UltraZorbe™ caplets are small and compact, packed with up to twice the amount of active ingredients found in many other supplements. One reason we are able to do this is because we require our suppliers to use minimal amounts of excipients. Excipients are vehicle materials used to bind, aid in compression, and add hardness. Most pharmaceutical tablets, for example, are made up almost entirely of excipient "filler" material, which are often harsh chemical additives. Garden of Life strives to utilize only organic, plant and mineral based binders that are often certified organic. In addition, we use our greens blend as a unique binder in some of our products to enhance its nutritional value and limit the use of non-beneficial excipients and binders.

Garden of Life® UltraZorbe™ caplets are created utilizing only direct compression and dry granulation. This is unique in that most manufacturers utilize a wet or fluid bed granulation method that incorporates chemicals, alcohol or water along with extremely high temperatures. This process can not only activate the inherent, as well as isolated microorganisms, but the multi-staged harsh processing acts to decrease available nutrient content in the finished powders. Additionally, conventionally produced capsules are oftentimes not fully utilized by your body because they do not completely break down. In contrast, the UltraZorbe™ capletting process ensures that your body receives the full nutritional benefits of Garden of Life® products.
