ETHICAL FOOD SUPPLEMENT
What does it even mean - an ethical dietary supplement? It means that Viridian brand supplements are made exclusively from quality ingredients and you will find absolutely no ballast additives in them. It also comes from organic farming and is not tested on animals. Also important is that the Viridian brand is family owned and not part of any pharmaceutical or other corporation. Viridian is based on an ethical approach to customers and business partners, and always strives for the ecological integrity of its products.
All ingredients are 100% bioactive
This may sound like an obvious thing. But the truth is that many commercially available products contain largely synthetic ingredients, in addition to a high proportion of ballast additives, stabilizers, binders and artificial sweeteners.
Supporting local growers
One of Viridian's key principles is supporting local farmers and local producers of raw materials (not multinational corporations), with whom it has very correct and fair relations. Viridian thus guarantees the quality of its supplements, because it has an overview of the entire production process - literally from the seed to the final product, and at the same time fulfills its philosophy of ethical vitamins
Natural and functional form of vitamins usable for the body
Do vitamins and minerals have any form? And why shouldn't they all be equally usable for the body? It is so. We can show this on iron, one of the most necessary minerals. In ordinary supplements, it occurs, for example, in the form of an oxide. This form is of little use to the body and the reason why it is used in common supplements is again the low price. For example, in its Liquid Iron supplement, Viridian uses a direct extract from the leaves of the Murraya koenigii plant, which provides iron in a 100% natural form.
No GMO ingredients
Genetically modified crops are unnatural. They arise primarily with the aim of increasing yield and are a product of the agrochemical industry. You will never find any GMO ingredients in Viridian products.
No irradiated ingredients
Food irradiation it takes place with ionizing radiation (alpha, beta, gamma, X-rays,...) - i.e. radioactive radiation in order to deactivate the contained enzymes and living biocultures, which extends the shelf life.
No animal ingredients
Animal ingredients may not always be harmful, but Viridian tries to have as many of their products suitable for vegans as possible.
No artificial sweeteners
< p>Artificial sweeteners are supposed to be a more suitable alternative to sugar, in fact they are artificial (synthetic) molecular combinations that are unnatural for our body and the environment. Why consume something that does not belong in our body and environment?
Without artificial colors and preservatives
No artificial colors, no preservatives. You will not find these or any other artificial additives in Viridian products.
Free of magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide and shellac
Titanium oxide, or titanium white, is used as a dye. It is found in many pharmaceutical products, common dietary supplements, processed foods, on tennis courts where the white lines form around the court, and also on the Saturn V rocket where it was used as an exterior coating. Magnesium stearate is used as a lubricant - it prevents capsules from seizing on the production line. In combination with water and soap, it forms an insoluble substance that forms, for example, the typical non-removable rings on bathtubs. Shellac is a resin secreted by the female lacquer worm, an insect native to India. Sheets of this resin are dissolved in ethyl alcohol to form a liquid shellac that is used as varnish and glaze. These substances are commonly used in dietary supplements, medicines and foods. You won't find them in Viridian supplements.
Ecological bottles
Viridian uses glass bottles made of so-called amber glass , which protects the contents from light and heat. At the same time, they can be recycled or reused. They can also be returned at our stores in exchange for a discount on your next purchase. The cap on the bottles is made from recyclable aluminum and the seal on the cap is made from cornstarch - Viridian does not use any plastics.
No palm oil
Viridian is the first brand in the world certified by POFCAP - The Palm Oil Free Accreditation Programme. This guarantees that the brand does not use palm oil in its products or during production.
