GoL Baby — Formulas Parents Can Trust
It ’ s so true that Extraordinary Health starts with extraordinary ingredients and with that top of mind , Garden of Life created a line of baby products that offer families USDA Organic , Non-GMO , vegan and gluten-free options . These are individually formulated to fill key nutritional gaps to help ensure that babies are getting the nutrients they need to stay healthy . From digestion , to immune health , to healthy brain development , Garden of Life has created clean , effective formulas that parents can trust .
Garden of Life knows that most new parents are anxious to give their babies the very best start in life possible . Parents are looking for supplement brands they can rely on . We have earned our customer ' s trust and repeat business by becoming the # 1 trusted vitamin brand in the Natural Products Industry , including the top-selling Women ’ s and Prenatal vitamins . We worked diligently for many years to produce botanical sources of whole food vitamins . This has allowed us to create products that are both Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified , with complete traceability throughout the entire supply chain .
Garden of Life proudly pioneered the first and only Certified USDA Organic , Non-GMO Project Verified , Sugar-Free Kids gummies in our GoL Kids line . Now we are proud to say that our new GoL Baby line follows the same high standards of Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verification with meticulous attention to every ingredient : a new line specifically designed for Babies with third-party certifications .
But this new GoL Baby line is not just about sourcing wholesome clean organic foods for babies to thrive , it ’ s also very much about keeping out all the stuff that ’ s bad for babies — like artificial
colors , synthetic dyes , pesticides , GMOs , artificial sweeteners and added sugar . No thanks ! Not for our GoL Babies .
Other ingredients that were intentionally left out of these baby products include the common allergens such as dairy , gluten , soy and peanuts . When foods are first introduced , babies ’ digestive and immune systems are usually still immature and not fully developed so it is best to avoid allergens early on while these systems are maturing . For those with known or even suspected allergies , it is essential to read every label and get professional allergy testing to be certain what your baby or child must avoid .
When it comes to supplements , our philosophy has always been “ food first ,” so we want to encourage mothers to breastfeed whenever possible . Mother ’ s milk is always the best source of nutrition and immune support for a baby . However , for those babies that are partially breastfed or as they start to wean and become finicky , clean whole food baby supplements can help parents fill any gaps and promote optimum wellness .
As we all know too well ( especially during these trying times ), antioxidant vitamins such as vitamins A and C are very important to protect the cells of the body on a daily basis . Vitamin D and probiotics are also crucial for supporting immune health . Garden of Life has created this new line to help you optimally support your baby ’ s health .
Working tirelessly for the past 20 years to build our line of probiotics , ours are made exclusively for us in a separate facility to ensure that every ingredient selected is Certified Organic and Non GMO Project Verified .
We have created 6 unique organic formulas for your bundle of joy !
