5. PURITY AND SAFETY
BEYOND ORGANIC

6. BEYOND ORGANIC
“Beyond organic” reflects our belief that our quality standards go beyond how and where an ingredient is grown. Instead, we look to confirm the purity and potency of ingredients, from the creation of the product to the delivery to the customer.
We do this by conducting more than 100,000 quality tests per year and screening every new botanical for more than 350 contaminants, pesticides, and impurities. This is three times the required number of tests from the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).

12. Encourage the men in your life to make their health a priority

13. According to the United Nations Statistics Division and the World Health Organization, Canadian men, on average, can expect to live for four fewer years – and fewer healthy years – than their female counterparts. 

14. ~ Canadian Men’s Health Foundation
Canadians believe they’re pretty healthy. But Canadian men aren’t. It’s not because of genetics; it’s a result of lifestyle.
In Canada, more than 65% of men aged 30–64 are overweight or obese, almost 50% are inactive, more than 40% binge drink, and 26% smoke.
~ Canadian Men’s Health Foundation

15. Men With a Family History of Heart Disease Have, on Average, an Earlier Onset of Heart Issues
Heart health risk factors:
High blood pressure
High LDL cholesterol
Smoking
Diabetes
Overweight and obesity
Poor diet
Physical inactivity
Excessive alcohol use

16. Be Proactive – Be Informed
Find out blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride, blood sugar, and prostate- specific antigen (PSA) numbers
Whether or not numbers are elevated, set and follow diet and exercise goals
Regular health screenings make a difference
Very often, men depend on the women in their lives to encourage them with healthy behaviours.

18. Three Areas Where You Can Make a Difference
Nutrition
Heart health
Mental focus

19. Nutrition
Men are significantly less likely than women to recognize the health benefits of fruit and vegetables and their roles in reducing the risk of many cancers, heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. ~

20. Think About Yourself and the Men in Your Life Father, son, brother, husband, friend…
Do they eat enough fruit and vegetables?
Only 4% say they eat the 8 to 10 servings of fruit and vegetables a day recommended as part of an active, healthy lifestyle ~

21. Trends Are Changing
Millennials are more health conscious than older generations:

22. Good Nutrition Supports a Healthy Lifestyle and Weight
Eat a variety of foods including 8–10 servings of colourful fruit and vegetables – not juice
Get plenty of whole grains, beans, and legumes
Choose lean meats, fish, and poultry, and lower-fat dairy
Eat “healthy fats” – omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fats (olive oil, nuts, seeds)
Avoid ALL trans-fats

23. Making Healthy Food Choices Every Single Day Can Be Difficult

as early as age 20, and by age 45 this decline
