Are the ingredients that are derived to make this vitamin certified organic, or is it your company that obtained certification in manufacturing this?

Hello Jay. To better clarify things. The product itself is certified organic but the company who obtained the certification is Parry Nutraceuticals whom is responsible for the farming and processing of the ingredients used within SpiruZan as well as formulating the supplement. Parry is responsible for all quality assurance measures as well as organic certifications.

Well they are certified and the integrity of the company and the length of time they have been doing this is real. I met the owner at a Raw food event and he is hard core, only the best products .. always. He cured himself of some serious health issues with organic and raw food healthy lifestyle and really does walk the walk. If it is not organic and the real deal he will not deal with it. period. NO way these are dyed and must be organic. The reviewers that complain are the competition that are scandalous business people stealing customers by spreading false rumors. It is common on amazon.

This product is NOT "certified organic", although the ingredients are derived from "organic" (meaning: of, relating to, or obtained from living things) sources. "Certified organic" ensures that stringent agriculture practices have been followed (i.e. preserving the environment and avoiding most synthetic materials, such as pesticides and antibiotics).

Hi Sargoli, thank you for your question, it's an important one. It's easy for anyone to claim to be organic, especially online. Our supplier is certified organic, however we can't display the certified organic logo until our product labelling goes through the same process. We just launched this product and so are in the process of getting the certification, and expect to have that within the next month. We can send you the certification from our supplier if you would like that assurance, until we have ours on the package. Thank-you again for your question, I hope you'll give our product a try. - Gerry UPDATE Mar 26, 2014: being new to the organic certification process, naive us discovered there is a mountain trail of paperwork and steps to follow. Who knew? This is going to take a few more months still, and much time, unfortunately. Double discouraging given the supplier is already certified, makes one wonder the value in these detailed processes.

It does NOT state that it is "certified" only that it is "100% Pure Organic" so my guess is that it's not certified.

No, it is not. But what I love about Garden of Life products; they are Whole foods not synthetic like most vitamins. They are made from real foods. This is VITAMIN D raw. tHIS is extremely important especially if you live in the colder regions.

I don't think it will pass organic certifications if it contained GMO. And I just used the bottle so I can't say if it has the non-GMO label.

No but it has organic components. Something certified organic can have 70 percent or more components be organic. So even "organic" isn't completely organic

Bottle says "The organic vitamin C in this product is from fruits and berries certified organic by Oregon Tilth" and non GMO and no magnesium stearate as a flow agent, which I like. Nutrigold company is out of Utah.

I'm not sure. It doesn't say anything about it being certified organic on the bottle.

According to the label, it is derived from kelp. No where does it say if it's 100% or not - as it contains some metals my guess is not organic. I would recommend going out to Lilly Miller's website, www.lillymiller.com, for a more detailed list of ingredients. I do know that our soil here in Montana is dreadful, and my plants are flourishing with this additive.

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, NOW Foods does not indicate that this product is organic or non-GMO, so we have to assume that it is possible the ingredients used could be GMO derived. For a definite answer, our best suggestion would be to contact NOW Foods directly. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused. ~Juliana

Mine just says its in organic olive oil, no certification info at all. There is a nutrigold website, maybe better info there.

It is my understanding that if a product is certified organic it must be gmo free.

The product isn't certified by the vegan society, however I have yet to find a b12 supplement that's endorsed specifically. The ingredients besides obviously Methylcobalamin are purified water, vegetable glycerin, and potassium sorbate. As a long time vegan I trust this product :)
