How about Garden of Life Plant Protein Powder brand introduction

推荐产品:Raw Organic Fit、Raw Organic Meal、Raw Organic Protein、Raw Protein&greens
 
Garden of Life (GOL), the No. 1 organic dietary supplement brand in the United States, is owned by Atrium, a natural supplement company, and has been acquired by Nestlé Health Sciences. Garden of Life holds a number of professional certifications, including USDA organic certification, and has passed NSF and Informed-Choice banned substance testing. Its products are made from organic plants and are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge or ionizing radiation, and each ingredient can be traced back to the farm on which it was grown. In addition, the whole line of products is gluten-free (gluten-free), which has outstanding advantages for people who are allergic to gluten.
 
Garden of Life Protein Powders are the most certified in the RAW range, which is made from organic whole foods with no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives. The protein in the product comes from pea protein, sprouted brown rice protein and a variety of sprouted seed blends, and is suitable for those who are sensitive to soy protein because it does not contain soy ingredients.
 
The use of germinated seeds as the main ingredient and source of protein is one of the special features of Garden of Life. Sprouted grains are a dietary trend that has become popular in North America in recent years. Because the process of seed germination destroys part of the starch endosperm, sprouted grains may have less starch and are more digestible than regular grains. In addition, the germination process also breaks down the phytic acid in the seeds, which generally hinders the body's absorption of vitamins and minerals, so the nutritional value of sprouted grains may be slightly higher than that of conventional grains.
 
Due to the increase in process and quality control costs, sprouted grain products are more expensive than ordinary products, and the price of RAW series protein powder is inevitably higher, about 160-250 yuan per 500g. But when combined with formula and quality, Garden of Life is an affordable choice for organic plant-based protein products.
 
There are four main types of RAW protein powders: Raw Organic Fit, Raw Organic Meal, Raw Organic Protein and Raw Protein&greens. The first two are mainly used for fat reduction and meal replacement, and are high in dietary fiber, while the latter two products are more focused on protein supplementation. All four products are diverse and balanced in nutrients, including probiotics, multivitamins and active enzymes that support digestion.
 
Raw Organic Meal Shake and Raw Organic Fit Organic Shaping Protein Powder have similar ingredients, and there are more than a dozen types of sprouted seeds as a protein source. Raw Organic Fit is fortified with Green Coffee Bean Extract and Chromium to support healthy blood sugar levels, and when paired with exercise, it can help with fat loss and lean body mass gain. Its protein content is 61%, and dietary fiber accounts for about 1/5 of the total, so Raw Organic Fit feels more satiety. It has a mixed taste, a delicate and easy to brew.
 
Raw Organic Meal contains 44 kinds of whole foods, more than 20 more fruit and vegetable ingredients than Raw Organic Fit, and is the richest in minerals and vitamins. As a meal replacement, Raw Organic Meal has a protein content of up to 56%, and the right amount of satiety and nutrients make it stand out among meal replacement products. Raw Organic Meal has no fat loss function, but it is very low in calories and can be used with other healthy foods to replace your daily meals for weight control.
 
如需蛋白含量更高的产品,可考虑Raw Organic Protein有机原生态蛋白粉和Raw Protein&greens有机蛋白&绿色蔬菜粉。两款产品营养相近,Raw Organic Protein含有67%蛋白质,Raw Protein&greens蛋白含量稍低,约65%。Raw Organic Protein的蛋白来源和前两款相似,Raw Protein&greens则将部分发芽种子以绿色蔬菜代替,因而膳食纤维比Raw Organic Protein含量更高。
 
However, Raw Organic Protein is richer in vitamins and twice as many probiotics as Raw Protein&greens, which is less distinctive than Raw Protein&greens, and Raw Organic Protein is more recommended here.
