Today’s health-savvy shopper wants to recognize the ingredients in their food — and be able to pronounce them without referencing a dictionary. If this sounds like you, we assume you feel the same way about vitamins, supplements, super foods and anything else you put in your body to keep it healthy. That’s why we created the Vitacost Whole Food line. No more stumbling over unfamiliar ingredients that sound more like a science project than a dietary supplement!
Our Whole Food products grew from the demand for a more thoughtful line of vitamins, herbs, seeds and super foods (and the crop keeps growing). Vitacost takes great pride in this line, primarily because these products yield carefully selected, identifiable nutrients which are sure to nourish your whole body.
If you’re looking for a greener, 100 percent vegetarian, non-GMO version of your must-have health product, we think we have just the thing you need.
Do you say no to GMO?
Our Whole Food line is free of genetically-modified organisms, or ingredients which have been altered from their original DNA structure. Though the debate continues over whether genetic modification poses any health risks, we’ve decided to play it safe.
Does organic win you over?
It’s only natural. Choosing organic every time means you aren’t ingesting pesticides and preservatives. We’ve applied this same philosophy to our Whole Food line. When it makes sense and we have the choice, Vitacost Whole Food products will be formulated with organic ingredients to get you closer to the best of what nature has to offer.
Is artificial not acceptable?
We have you covered– in a bare-minimum kind of way. Without sacrificing class or dignity, our Whole Food line has gone au natural. This means no artificial colors, fake flavors or preservatives. Whether you choose vitamin C capsules or chia seeds, you can rest assured you’re getting the real deal.
Are stearates a deal-breaker?
You often see “magnesium stearate” or “stearic acid” listed as one of the other ingredients in vitamins and supplements. Their purpose is to help prevent the nutrients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during the encapsulation process. Stearates are perfectly safe for human consumption, but we understand that some people prefer to have no binders or fillers in their nutritional supplements. Enter the Vitacost Whole Food line. None of our Whole Food supplements or products contain binders, fillers or stearates.
Is a vegetarian diet your lifestyle?
Regardless if you’re a meat-eater, 100% of our Whole Food line is 100% vegetarian. That means all plant-based ingredients are used to create these products — no bovine derivatives, fish or shellfish. And we don’t source just any plants. For example, our Whole Food Vitamin C does not come from corn-derived ascorbic acid. Probiotics and organic fruits and vegetables come together to make the most bioavailable form of the nutrients your body needs, because that’s what you deserve.
Do you like paying more for quality ingredients?
Okay, so that’s a rhetorical question. Choosing better-for-you products does not have to hurt your wallet. Our Whole Food line is just as affordable as any of our other private label products. Plus, we often offer extra savings of up to 50% on our Vitacost brand. Yes, that includes our premium Whole Food line!
From our Calcium Complex to Yaeyama Chlorella, this selection is truly the cream of the crop. We think you, too, will be pleased by what these products have to offer and maybe even more pleased with what they lack.
