ChorellaOrganic and vegetarian ingredients are incorporated into Rainbow Light’s formulas, and because of Rainbow Light’s concern over the safety of bioengineered food ingredients, all Rainbow Light dietary supplements containing soy are guaranteed to be GMO-free. Soy, which has recently been recognized by the FDA for its potential to reduce the risk of heart disease, has been the center of much recent controversy based on concerns that it may be potentially harmful to health and the environment if it has been genetically modified.When Rainbow Light was founded in Santa Cruz, CA nearly two decades ago, the young entrepreneurs set out to radically change the way people approached nutrition while maintaining a responsibility to the environment and society. They started by introducing a nutrient-dense food called chorella, a blue-green algae, and the company’s product line has grown to include over 130 different products, including a full line of herbal formulas. These products are in keeping with the company’s environmental and social values, and in its formulations Rainbow Light is sensitive to consumers’ concerns. In its production facilities, Rainbow Light utilizes environmentally-conscious practices such as cold-glue labeling in the packaging process. In addition to the way it manufactures its products, Rainbow Light’s corporate culture reflects its commitment to environmental and social causes and overall quality of life. Over the years, the company has supported charitable organizations involved in AIDS research, the environment and child welfare. Rainbow Light has contributed generously to the Vitamin Angel Alliance since its founding in 1994. Vitamin Angel Alliance provides health education and nutritional supplements to medically underserved communities around the world. As part of this relationship, Rainbow Light provides an on-going donation of 10% of all of the Complete Prenatal System TM tablets it produces to the Vitamin Angel Alliance’s Maternal and Child Health Project, nourishing mothers and babies worldwide.
