Why was Living Multi® Optimal Men's reformulated?
At Garden of Life it is our commitment to bring you the
best in whole food nutritional supplements. In order to do this, we
constantly research new ingredients and review the latest scientific
literature to ensure our products provide optimal benefit.
The previous formulation contained 62 whole food
ingredients and the new upgraded formula has 80. We've added new ingredients
such as sprouted nutrients, which are sprouted for 3 days so they are rich
in enzymes and nutrients. We've also added 4 new ingredients to the
Antioxidant Beverage & Spice blend.
The caplets now contain a more concentrated nutrient
content which makes them smaller and much easier to swallow.
