I Found mykind of Vitamin!

One day while searching the health food shelves, looking for a multivitamin for “older” vegans, I came upon Garden of Life mykind Organics multivitamins for 40+ Women and Garden of Life mykind Organics multivitamins for 40+ Men.

It’s a whole food vitamin supplement. I had been taking so many supplements that I wanted to pare down the amount of supplements I was taking, and roll several nutrients into a single multivitamin. I knew that I wanted my B-12 to be natural (methylcobalamin) and not the synthetic form (cyanocobalomin). I knew that I wanted a vegan form of D3, as well as some K2 that included MK-7. I also wanted the multivitamin to have the natural folate instead of the synthetic folic acid. Because I had stopped using an iodized form of sea salt  and had switched to pink Himalayan salt after the Japanese nuclear disaster, I was also interested in having the multiple include a little bit of iodine. Although I put a little kelp in my soups, frequently soak a kombu strip in soups, and absolutely love seaweed salad at a nearby Asian restaurant, I wanted a little iodine in my multiple. And, most importantly, the multivitamin had to be vegan, organic, and compact (no more than 2 or 3 per day. I had tired of taking a vitamin that required consumption of 15 capsules per day.)  Garden of Life mykind Organics multivitamins for 40+ Women filled the bill. And, they had an equivalent for 40+ males. What I didn’t know then was that it was mykind Organics cofounder Alicia Silverstone and Garden of Life who were behind the creation of this line of supplements. Alicia, you’ve done something absolutely wonderful! This is a great multivitamin supplement! It is truly my kind of multiple vitamin. So now, in addition to being an actor, a best-selling author (The Kind Diet), you have co-created a great multiple vitamin supplement! Thank you.
