Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rating: 2/5 Green Leaves
The Country Life Vitamins GABA Relaxer™ receives a modest 2 out of 5 green leaves rating on our scale of cleaner food options. This product aims to support relaxation with a formula that includes Vitamin B6, Inositol, Glycine, and GABA. However, the product falls short in terms of its commitment to clean and organic ingredients.
The product is not organic, which detracts significantly from its clean eating credentials. Furthermore, there is no clear indication that non-GMO ingredients are used, raising concerns for those seeking to avoid genetically modified organisms in their diet. Additionally, the presence of additives such as natural vanilla flavor and pyridoxine hydrochloride raises questions about the purity of the formulation.
Another area of concern is the inclusion of palm oil. While palm oil is a common ingredient in many products, its production is often associated with environmental issues, such as deforestation and habitat destruction. This further impacts the product’s rating as it does not align with the values of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
The product also contains common fillers and binders like cellulose, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate, and while these are standard in the industry, they do not contribute to the ‘clean’ label that health-conscious consumers may be looking for. The use of silica as an anti-caking agent is another point of consideration for those scrutinizing ingredient lists.
The Country Life Vitamins GABA Relaxer™ has room for improvement. By transitioning to organic ingredients, eliminating GMOs, and removing potentially harmful additives and unsustainable oils, the product could better meet the criteria for a cleaner and more environmentally friendly option. As it stands, the product’s current formulation does not live up to the standards of consumers seeking the cleanest food products on the market.
