Even "health food" items often have corn or soy (thus GMO issues); was your all-natural approach incidental or intentional? (either way, nice job!)

This was definitely "Intentional", in our Quest to find what we believe is a near perfect dietary supplement, we wanted to avoid any chemicals and stay away from GMO products. A lot of our research goes thousands of years back as we studied the people in Biblical Times, what they ate, how long they lived, and how healthy they were.

Hi there! We're obviously partial, but Source is Non-GMO Project Verified and American Humane Association certified while Raw is not. We also tell you where we get our whey (Northern California farms) while they are very vague. Finally, they're really not "raw," that's just a marketing tactic.

I called them to see what their source of the vitamin MK-4 is and they said they could not divulge that, as it was proprietary info. I then asked if they would certify that it was not a genetically modified substance and they said "no we cannot say either way". I think it rather strange that if it is not GMO, they would not want to say so.

Yes, it's a family run business in the US. No GMO's. It's been a year since I last ordered (that's how long they last, and I make alot of soymilk. They have a website for more info.

It does matter if its grass fed or not - if not, then this means most likely the cattle were fed soy and or corn, which in the U.S. is about 90% chance of being genetically modified if not organic. GMO food fed to the cattle means we are getting GMO in our diet. So if this matters to you, I wouldn't go with it.

I honestly am not sure about that one....I thought soy was supposed to be a natural and healing property, but have since learned it may not be as safe as touted. I am now curious as well, and hope someone is able to shed more light on this.

couldn't tell from their site, but I'd have to agree with grandma. Some of their other vitamins with soy have used GMOs in the past, but i think they took a lot of heat for that and found a way around it in those supplements, as well.

Was wondering the same... this is a useful link to answer this for the future: http://blog.bostonorganics.com/wordpress/2013/10/24/avoid-gmos-the-difference-between-organic-and-non-gmo-labels

It is not organic. Not sure about GMO. Whole Foods if you want organic vitamins.

Thanks for your message and sorry for the delay; I was out of the office to give you the exact details. Ok the food are free of GMO's, does not use soy and the ingredients are from vegetal origin and elaborated grains (like corn), sugarcane, crude protein, lisina, metionina, fiber, calcium, phosphorus, sodium with many vitamins like A, D-3, E, Folic Acid, Colina, Piridoxina, Mononitrate, Menadonia, Niacin, Riboflavin, B-12, d-Biotina, Etoxiquina, Pantothenate of Calcium, Carbonate of Calcium, Phosphate Dicalcio, Salt, Magnesium Oxide, Manganese, Zinc, Sulfate Ferroso, Copper Sulfate, Yodato and selenite. This are the ingredients in the bag. Thanks and I hope the description help you to make a decision. Samuel Vargas CEO Prorganics

When it comes to healthiness of Vitamin C, what matters is purity: whether it is made in the USA and the reputation of the manufacturer. Foreign-made chemicals can have ANYTHING in them, scary. GMO-free is irrelevant when you're talking about a pure chemical derived from a food source. Corn could have petunia genes or buffalo genes or whatever, but the resulting ascorbic acid is just a simple chemical with no leftover genetic material.

That's strange. My packet of seeds is exactly as depicted, including the information "No GMOs." I'd request an explanation or replacement packet, to be sure.

The genes of soybeans grown in the US have been genetically modified (unless labeled "organic"). Maybe that's why soy-based products are toxic.

I called LE & spoke with a nutritional consultant named Adam. He said that the origin of the MK7 is Non-Gmo corn.

I contacted the company and it is NOT from grassfed cows. (And for at least some of us it DOES matter whether gelatin is from grassfed cattle, whether we view it as a personal health issue or an ethical one.)

It is from a soy source, and since 90% or so of all soy is now genetically modified I would be highly surprised if this used non-GMO soy. If they did, they should be stating so as it would be a good selling point.

I like the fact that this is low sugar. But as it is not organic, the corn syrup and soya lecithin it contains are no doubt derived from GMO sources. I'll pass.
