Whole Earth & Sea Frequently Asked Questions

Is Whole Earth & Sea involved in any charitable activities?
$2 from each bottle sold goes to the Plant a Seed & See What Grows Foundation. This foundation creates opportunities for children and adults alike to experience the seed-to-table cycle of organically grown non-GMO foods, and helps people appreciate their connection with nature.

What else does Whole Earth & Sea do to protect the environment?
Whole Earth & Sea use only the roe from Norwegian spring-spawning herring as the source of their omega-3s. The reason being, because their roe comes from an existing fishery, it does not increase the catch. In addition, the Marine Stewardship Council certified this fishery sustainable, and herring is classified as "a species of least concern" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

And, because their Factors Farms are free from chemical fertilizers and never use pesticides, they are protecting the earth and ground water for future generations.

What is mass spectrometry and what does it do?
Mass spectrometry is one of the many analytical services offered by ISURA. Their Mass Spectrometer is an incredibly sensitive analytical tool used to identify a full spectrum of possible contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, as well as heavy metals and other undesirable substances. Each compound or chemical agent has its own unique mass spectra (like a fingerprint) that can thus be easily identified. Whole Earth & Sea use mass spectrometry to test for over 400 substances. Mass spectrometry can test at the molecular - even atomic - level.

Does Whole Earth & Sea use pesticides on their crops?
The Factors Farms crops are fertilized only with compost and nitrogen-rich sea plants and are meticulously cared for by hand. No synthetic pesticides (or even permissible organic pesticides) are used - EVER!

Where is the Whole Earth & Sea farm?
Whole Earth & Sea's own Natural Factors farms are located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and they refer to them as Factors Farms.

Are most or all of the plants in the Whole Earth & Sea formulas from your own farms?
Many of them come from their farms - kale, alfalfa, spearmint, oregano, peppers, cilantro, parsley and echinacea to name a few. If the plant is not from their farms, you can rest assured that the ingredients they are using are from farmers known for their commitment to organic farming and who have the same high ethical standards as them. Each food source is rigorously examined for quality before being used in a Whole Earth & Sea product.

What plants go into Farm Fresh Factors?
Whole Earth & Sea formulas are made using nutrient-rich ingredients from plants grown largely on their own farms. Farm Fresh Factors contains:

• Active Vegetables - organic kale (leaf), organic alfalfa (aerial), organic cilantro (leaf), organic parsley (aerial), caper (berry), organic artichoke (leaf), organic black radish (root), barley grass, cayenne pepper (leaf), organic celery (seed), organic beet (root), organic tomato
• Cruciferous Vegetables - wasabi (rhizome) and fresh freeze-dried sprouted broccoli (aerial), organic upland cress (leaf), daikon (root), red radish (root), organic cauliflower (aerial), organic cabbage (leaf), organic arugula (leaf), organic watercress (leaf), sprouted garlic (bulb)
• Whole Fruit Ultra Polyphenols - grape, pomegranate, strawberry, organic cranberry, organic blueberry, raspberry, bilberry, organic Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica), schizandra berry, red orange, organic açai berry
• Herbals and Plants - Theracurmin (Curcuma longa) (root), organic decaffeinated green tea (leaf), organic milk thistle (seed), organic ginger (rhizome), organic echinacea (aerial), marigold flower, organic dandelion (root), organic oregano (aerial), organic peppermint (aerial), organic spearmint (aerial)
• Whole Plant Sea Vegetables - organic spirulina, organic chlorella, red algae, blue green algae, Dunaliella salina, kelp

How do Whole Earth & Sea formulas compare to other whole-food supplements?
Several companies market versions of what they refer to as "whole-food" vitamins. Most of the nutrients in supplements marketed as whole-food are produced by mixing (USP) vitamins and minerals with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast), sugar or molasses in a big tank. After some amount of time has passed (usually 12 - 24 hours), the yeast is harvested and the material is dried off. By contrast, Whole Earth & Sea uses their proprietary EnviroSimplex technology to infuse each supplement with the concentrated goodness of raw nutrition.

What is ISURA, and is it part of Whole Earth & Sea?
ISURA is an independent organization, separate from Whole Earth & Sea. ISURA is a product certification organization for the natural health supplement and food industries, primarily serving as an analytical competence center for analyzing natural health products and technical materials at all stages of processing. ISURA offers a broad range of analytical methods such as mass spectrometry to ensure purity and potency of natural products. Some of the product certification services include:

• Non-GMO and organically grown
• Product potency and integrity
• Pesticide-free and solvent-free

Does Whole Earth & Sea use GMO seeds?
Whole Earth & Sea have been growing plants on Factors Farms for more than 20 years and have never grown anything GMO. Whole Earth & Sea make sure to choose true "species" non-GMO seeds for their seedlings, and they participate in seed-saving programs.

Whole Earth & Sea formulas claim to be organic. What does that mean?
The Factors Farms are certified 100% organic. Whole Earth & Sea's crops are fertilized only with compost and nitrogen-rich sea plants and are meticulously cared for by hand. The plants are then harvested at their peak and immediately raw processed at their own facilities.

What is the vegan whole food source of the vitamin B's in the Whole Earth & Sea?
The B vitamins are sourced from fruits and vegetables contained in Farm Fresh Factors, as well as produced via bacterial fermentation. Supplements produced through this natural process are extremely well absorbed, which leads to increased levels of the active forms.

Where does Whole Earth & Sea get the plants for their Farm Fresh Factors?
Whole Earth & Sea formulas are made using nutrient-rich ingredients from plants grown on their 100% non-GMO organic farms and harvested at their peak and immediately raw processed at their facilities using EnviroSimplex to retain the vital bioenergetic vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients, and antioxidants.

What is the EnviroSimplex technology?
The EnviroSimplex technology liquefies and mixes all raw materials in a special chamber where the bio-activation process occurs, allowing enzymes, probiotics and prebiotics to help culture the ingredients. Then it deploys gentle agitation and low heat under high vacuum to extract moisture, preserve the active ingredients, shorten drying times, and protect sensitive phytonutrients. Whole Earth & Sea ensure the processing temperature always stays below 118°F (48°C).

Phytonutrients (also referred to as phytochemicals) are natural compounds found in plant-based whole foods that give plants their rich pigment, as well as their distinctive taste and smell. Research suggests that nutrients from whole, raw food may have a valuable holistic effect that allows key vitamins and minerals to work more effectively. The EnviroSimplex method retains and intensifies the total goodness of whole food into rich living food.

Are the vitamins and minerals fermented, USP vitamins, or a combination of both?
Most of the vitamins and minerals in the multivitamin and mineral formulas, including Bone Structure, 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). Whole Earth & Sea's proprietary formulas also utilize activated forms of vitamins to ensure that meaningful levels of key nutrients are delivered in the bioactive whole food formula.

Whole Earth & Sea's Proprietary EnviroSimplex Process

Whole Earth & Sea Begin with the Healthiest Raw Materials
From a simple seed, planted in the ground with a little water, nutrients from the soil, and a whole lot of energy from the sun, comes the wholesome nutrition that sustains their lives. Natural Factors Farms are certified 100% organic and pesticide-free. Whole Earth & Sea's crops are fertilized only with compost and nitrogen-rich sea plants and are meticulously cared for by hand. The plants are then harvested at their peak and immediately raw processed at their own facilities.

Maintaining Quality Is a Gentle Process
Traditional methods of food preservation can destroy a plant's natural nutrients and diminish the plant's health benefits. Processing can expose sensitive raw materials to unnatural levels of heat, light and oxygen, which can reduce nutrient content. By contrast, their proprietary EnviroSimplex method protects delicate fruits, vegetables and herbs from damage that can occur with other processing techniques. The watchword that they use for processing is "gentle."

EnviroSimplex - Preserving the Life Force of Whole Food
EnviroSimplex deploys gentle agitation with just the right amount of heat under high vacuum to extract moisture, preserve the active ingredients, shorten drying times and protect sensitive phytonutrients. Whole Earth & Sea ensure the processing temperature always stays below 118°F (48°C). Plus, the process is free of solvents and ethanol for safer whole food concentrates. The EnviroSimplex method liquefies and mixes all raw materials in a special chamber where the bio-activation process occurs, allowing enzymes, probiotics and prebiotics to culture the ingredients.

Whole Earth & Sea Use the Whole Plant. No Surprise.
Whole Earth & Sea use the whole plant or fruit, including the peel, stem and seeds - all rich sources of antioxidants. Batch-by-batch processing ensures that all the ingredients are thoroughly dispersed. As a result, their concentrated nutrients are suitable for stand-alone supplements and as components in their Whole Earth & Sea health-promoting formulas.
