"We're pleased to partner with Dr. Perlmutter to offer digestive health supplements that are best-in-class in the Natural Products Industry," Ray said. "The timing is perfect because the Microbiome is the focus of recent mainstream media coverage and consumers are recognizing the relationship between beneficial probiotics and healthy body systems more than ever before."

Dr. Perlmutter is an internationally recognized author, board-certified neurologist, a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, and an Associate Professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine. He is a frequent lecturer at symposia sponsored by such medical institutions as Harvard University, the University of Arizona, Scripps Institute, New York University, and Columbia University. He is also the recipient of the 2002 Linus Pauling Award, the 2002 Denham Harmon Award, the 2006 National Nutritional Foods Association Clinician of the Year and the American College of Nutrition's 2010 Humanitarian of the Year. Dr. Perlmutter stated that he chose to work with Garden of Life over other leading brands because of the company's dedication to empowering extraordinary health.

"Working with Garden of Life is a pleasure because of their commitment to organic and non-GMO products and also because they select only the highest quality, clinically studied ingredients," Dr. Perlmutter said. "With the new Dr. Formulated supplements, we are offering consumers groundbreaking formulas containing prebiotic fiber to help the probiotics flourish. We are also capitalizing on revolutionary patented packaging innovation that dramatically reduces moisture and preserves product viability and stability."

Available exclusively at select health food stores and natural retailers nationwide in shelf stable and cooler options, Dr. Formulated supplements include: Probiotics Once Daily, Probiotics Once Daily Ultra, Probiotics Once Daily Women's and Probiotics One Daily Men's. Condition specific formulas include: Probiotics Prostate, Probiotics Urinary Tract, Probiotics Mood, Probiotics Organic Kids and Probiotics Fitbiotic. In addition, Probiotics Organic Fiber is offered in unflavored and citrus and Probiotics Enzymes Organic Digest+ is the first-ever Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified Digestive Enzyme Formula.

Ray added that probiotics formulated for the cooler are distinguished from other brands by the unique Garden of Life "Arrive Alive! Potency Promise" that guarantees probiotics are temperature and humidity controlled throughout the entire manufacturing and fulfillment process.

"We ship the probiotics on ice so they are preserved until they reach the store's cooler," he explained. "It's an expensive and time consuming process, but we go the extra mile because it preserves the potency of cultures through the expiration date."
