In reply to the FALSE Information from a bad reviewer
I read a reviewer who gave 100% FALSE information on this company, so much so that I can't help but think they either can't research or read properly, or they are a competitor playing very dirty. After contacting Garden of Life directly myself, I WILL be trying out their supplements. Good thing I don't just believe everything I read from Jo Shmo on the internet. Don't take my word for it either, contact them yourself to be sure. But here is my correspondence with the company:
Based on the bad reviewers claims, I emailed Garden of Life directly to clear up some questions. Here is what I asked:
1) Is it true that Garden of Life is owned by Proctor & Gamble?
2) Is it true that Garden of Life vitamins are not organic & do not have the USDA seal?
3) Is it true that Garden of Life is not GMP certified?
Here was their prompt & thorough reply, dispelling the misinformation & putting the false claims the bad reviewer gave to rest:
