Why We Created mykind Organics
This vitamin journey began when I was pregnant with my son,
Bear. In order to grow the healthiest little human possible, I was
already feeding my body with all the clean, nutrition-packed
foods that had transformed my health years ago. But because
these babies can be little nutrition vampires—and because some
days were not all sunshine and kale—I wanted to have peace
of mind that I was getting every health-supporting vitamin and
mineral that my body needs during this special time. I embarked
on a quest to find the cleanest prenatal vitamin possible, ideally
one that was aligned with the way I eat: organic, non-GMO,
completely plant-based and free of funky processed junk.
I didn’t want a bottle of chemical isolates dressed up with
organic fluff. The vitamin I wanted to take didn’t exist. So I went
looking for a partner—the stars aligned with Garden of Life—and
I co-founded mykind Organics. Together, we created an entirely
new kind of vitamin line that is Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO
Project Verified and free of synthetic binders and fillers.
Why We Created mykind Organics Herbals and
Why They are the Best Herbals Available
We knew that we wanted to make the cleanest possible herbal
line out there. The only herbals available are marketed as
“natural” but their extraction process isn’t natural or healthy.
Even if a product has organically sourced herbs, our competitors
use an extraction method that is carried out with ethanol (corn),
hexane (gasoline), or vegetable glycerin (corn is the primary
source). Their primary methods of extraction are not organic
compliant and use genetically modified corn. mykind Organics
Herbals are truly traceable back to the seed and to the organic
farms from where they are grown. Our extraction method uses
water first, and if we must use alcohol, we use only Organic,
Non-GMO ethanol. mykind Organics is the first dual certified USDA
Organic and Non-GMO Project verified herbal line. They are clean
and grown without toxic pesticides, herbicides or fungicides and
are Vegan Certified and Gluten-Free Certified, too.
Our line was formulated with the help of Master Herbalist,
Dr. Terry Willard, CI.H, Ph.D, who provided unique combinations
of herbal ingredients specifically selected for their ability to
work together to provide greater efficacy. Most of our herbals
have added probiotics for optimal bioavailability (digestion
and absorption). mykind Organics Herbals are also available
in multiple delivery formats such as tablets, liquid sprays,
powders and gummies!
Our packaging is beautiful and is made from recycled materials,
is recyclable and made with plant-based inks.
I am really proud to share mykind Organics Herbals, our gift
