The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Garden of Life started in 1995 in Florida. Jordan Rubin founded the company. They make nutritional supplements and protein powders. Raw plant-based formulas became their signature. The brand used whole food ingredients instead of synthetic vitamins. This approach set them apart early on. Garden of Life expanded across North America and Europe. Today they rank first in Supplements & Nutrition among 21,133 tracked brands. Retailers stock their products in health food stores and mainstream chains. The company remains known for clean-label supplements and grass-fed protein powders. They operate as a subsidiary now but maintain their original philosophy about food-based nutrition.
