FAQs
Our own Natural Factors farms are located in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and we refer to it as Factors Farms®.
Many of them come from our farms – kale, alfalfa, spearmint, oregano, peppers, cilantro, parsley and echinacea to name a few. If the plant is not from our farms, you can rest assured that the ingredients we are using are from farmers known for their commitment to farming and who have the same high ethical standards like us. Each ingredient is rigorously examined for quality before being used in a Whole Earth & Sea product.
Many of them come from our farms – kale, alfalfa, spearmint, oregano, capsicum, coriander, parsley and echinacea to name a few. If the plant is not from our farms, you can rest assured that the ingredients we are using are from farmers known for their commitment to organic farming and who have the same high ethical standards as us. Each food source is rigorously examined for quality before being used in a Whole Earth & Sea® product.
Most of the vitamins and minerals in the multivitamin and mineral formulas are from the fresh farm ingredients or from food sources such as organic algae (calcium), lichen (vitamin D3), sunflower oil (vitamin E), natto (vitamin K2), Indian gooseberry (vitamin C), selenium (sprouted garlic), Dunaliella salina (beta carotene), kelp (iodine), marigold flowers (lutein) and tomatoes (lycopene). Our proprietary formulas also utilise activated forms of vitamins to ensure that meaningful levels of key nutrients are delivered in the bioactive whole food formula.
We use glass for our packaging because it protects our supplements from UV light damage, preserving their quality. And because glass reduces waste and unnecessary use of energy.
