At Cultivate Elevate we hold our products to the highest standard to Elevate your health.
99% of all supplements and vitamins on the market contain fillers such as rice flour, maltodextrin, citric acid, etc. Companies use these fillers to cut down on costs and increase profits.
All of our products are free from preservatives such as maltodextrin, potassium sorbate, rice starch, microcrystalline cellulose, citric acid, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, soy lecithin, GMOS, wheat, gluten, lactose, soy, artificial colors and flavoring.
Maltodextrin is primarily derived from genetically modified corn and has been shown to cause bloating, alter the gut lining, and brain fog. [1] [3]
Potassium Sorbate is a preservative used to prevent mold growth in foods such as cheese, yogurt, wine, dried meat, pickles, apple cider, and many herbal dietary supplements. Potassium Sorbate may cause damage to the lymphocytes. [2]
Soy Lecithin: has been shown to impact digestion and reduce the absorption of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc and may equally cause stunted growth in children. [5][6][7]
Citric acid: During the 1970s citric acid was derived from fruits such as lemons and limes. But around the 1970s citric acid became derived from GMO mold & GMO corn syrup. The mold (Aspergillosis) [12] can cause inflammation [13], bloating, nausea, and other allergic reactions [14]
Artificial colors: Artificial colors such as yellow 5 have been linked to behavior disorders [9], damage the DNA and causes cell mutation [10] and cellular damage [11] [19]
Artificial or Natural flavors: At the moment there are about 1,300 different chemicals approved for flavoring agents and due to the current regulations companies do not need to disclose the chemicals used in a flavoring agent. These flavoring agents can be made up of just about anything including pig bones, msg, and other chemicals which may lead to health issues and alterations in dopamine [14] [15] [16]
We never add anything to our products, and never plan to do so.
Lab Tested for Heavy Metals
At the moment there are numerous brands of supplements out on the market, but most supplements are NOT tested for heavy metals and pesticides.
Supplements containing high levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury can lead to heavy metal toxicity [29]. These heavy metals can cause a plethora of issues including gastrointestinal symptoms, disturbance of the nervous system [22], cognition impairment [23], organ toxicity [24], and cellular damage [25].
We are on a mission to provide our customers with the highest quality supplements with the least amount of heavy metals. Our products contain less than 0.3 PPM of each heavy metal including lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury
Certified USDA Organic
Let's look at the 3 main reasons we should be consuming organic supplements:
Pesticides, Heavy metals, our planet Over 1 billion pounds of pesticides are used in the United State (US) each year and approximately 5.6 billion pounds are used worldwide [31]. Non-Organic foods can be sprayed with over 400+ pesticides [32].
Our health can be highly impacted by these toxins and our body is put into a poisonous state. It has been shown that pesticides can cause heavy metal toxicity [30] [35]. These same chemicals run off into our oceans, lakes, and rivers causing dead zones (Such as the gulf of Mexico) and get recycled back into our rain water damaging our planet [36] [37]
Sewage sludge: Conventional foods are legally allowed to re-use human waste products onto their crops [40]. Meaning when we goto consume conventional supplements we could be consuming reused human waste products with each serving.
Nutritional deficiencies: Back in 1995 a group of scientists compared the nutritional profile of organic food and conventional food [41]. They determined that organic food yielded almost 15x the nutritional content as conventional food. The main reason for this is because of the heavy pesticide use that strips the soil of it's nutrients leading to mineral-less foods [42] [43].
These are 3 main reasons you should opt for organic when you are out searching for vitamins or supplements. Organic is the original way of doing things for the 10,000 years. Chemical farming only became popular in the 1940s post ww2 era because they had an abundance of chemicals and needed somewhere to put them.
We make sure all of our products are USDA Organic in order to provide the highest quality of product, protect our health, and eliminate pesticide consumption.
