My FIRST RAW Vitamins!! :D

My packages came in yay!! Made with all raw ingredients & yummy!! Also, made with raw ingredients, PLUS it's chocolate! YUM!

Fact is, we’ve become a nation of eating fast, processed, prepared foods that are deplete of the vital nutrients we need. Some people are taking steps in the right direction by eating all raw foods or going vegetarian. But this group also is highly susceptible to nutrient deficiencies due to the lack of animal and dairy consumption. So Jordan Rubin, CEO and Founder of Garden of Life® decided to put our “advanced” technology to good use and developed the only raw, vegan, gluten and dairy-free line of specialized targeted nutrients. Vitamin Code™ RAW targeted nutrients are comprehensive, whole-food formulas made with RAW Food-Created Nutrients™. Cultivated with their unique Code Factors™ intact, the RAW Food-Created Nutrients enable natural recognition of nutrients by your body, just as nature intended. Code Factors, compounds found in food, are necessary for proper nutrient delivery. Enhancing these formulas is the addition of a RAW probiotic and enzyme blend along with a RAW organic fruit and vegetable blend for added nutritional support.

I was so excited about the Garden of Life (RAW) Vitamin Code- especially since I am back to being a Raw Vegan- I definitely want to make sure I am going adequate proteins and nutrients that I may be missing out on. When I opened the bottles, I could tell that these were raw! They actually had a raw vegetable smell- but in a good way! One thing I noticed this morning (not to be grody) but my digestion was better than normal and today was my first day with NO COFFEE!! Usually when I quit coffee, I always have digestion & energy issues the first couple of days, but today I have plenty of energy and feel great!! I am going to continue taking the vitamins and update on how I am doing- I'm so excited about the results!
