Organic farming acknowledges that everything is interconnected. Organic relies on natural farming principles like conserving biodiversity and promoting ecological balance to produce vibrant, abundant food.

With organic farming, the health of the whole agricultural ecosystem is emphasized.

YES: SOIL NUTRIENT-DENSITY | BIODIVERSITY | WATER QUALITY | SOIL INTEGRITY | USES COVER CROPS & CROP ROTATION | FIXES NITROGEN | BUILDS SOIL ORGANIC MATTER NO: GMO INGREDIENTS | SYNTHETIC PESTICIDES | CHEMICAL FERTILIZATION

We are deeply committed to the organic movement, which is why over 94% of Pure Synergy supplements are USDA Certified Organic or made with USDA Certified Organic ingredients.

WHAT DOES ORGANIC MEAN FOR OUR WORLD?

Not to be dramatic, but when you purchase organic products, it helps save the planet.

The predominant, conventional food system is flawed. While conventionally grown products may be cheaper at the grocery store, these farming methods rely heavily on chemical interventions (think toxic pesticides) to grow crops. This leads to increased chemical water pollution, and leaves our lands with low-quality, eroded soil.

Which means low-quality food.

Image of Organic Farm vs. Conventional Farm, and labeled as such

Definitely not the prettiest picture.

But that’s where organic agriculture comes in.

Better for You & All People

Nutritional benefits

[69% more antioxidants in organic produce] [55x less synthetic pesticide residue] [95% reduction in bodily pesticide levels with an organic diet]

Filled with essential nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium, and much more, organically-grown produce deeply nourishes our bodies – we’re talking 69% more micronutrients like antioxidants versus its conventionally farmed counterparts!

Not to mention, it tastes better. Think of farmer’s market produce – usually brimming with flavor, right? You can thank the nutrient quality for that. Organic food also has less exposure to the harmful residue of synthetic pesticides, which are abundantly found in conventionally grown products.

Community Impact

Organic protects farmworkers from exposure and health issues

Due to the restriction of toxic synthetic chemicals in organic farming, it’s also a solution for supporting public health. Curbing synthetic pesticides reduces the amount of chemicals that would otherwise seep into the food, soil, and water – ultimately safeguarding farmers and nearby rural communities from undue exposure.

Better for the Planet

Regenerating Soil & Biodiversity

[14% more organic matter in soil] [30% increase in overall biodiversity] [Up to 50% more pollinator biodiversity]

When soil quality erodes, so does the quality of our food. Organic farms are required to implement cultivation practices – like cover crops and crop rotation – that minimize soil erosion, enhance soil fertility, and foster ecological biodiversity.

Cover crops are plants grown to cover and protect the soil. They help promote crop nutrients, weed suppression, and soil fertility, making them key to regenerative soil ecosystems.

Crop rotation is a farming practice that naturally helps protect plants from pests or diseases. Planting different crops in the same area over multiple growing seasons interrupts insect lifecycles, suppresses soil-born plant diseases, builds soil organic matter, and much more.

Easing Emissions & Storing Carbon

[Releases 40% fewer carbon emissions] [44% more stable sequestered carbon]

Because there’s such an emphasis on building healthy, living soils in organic farming, and restricted use of synthetic chemicals, organic food systems produce 40% less greenhouse gases per pound of crop than conventional systems.

Not to mention, the soil health is much better on organic farmland, with 14% more organic material than soil on conventional farms. This means it’s 44% more effective at sequestering carbon (removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere), a benefit that further eases the impact of greenhouse gases.

Crop Resilience

Yields up to 40% more in times of drought

Under severe drought conditions, which are thought to become more frequent with climate change, organic agriculture yields up to 40% more crops than conventional farms. This could be because water infiltration is much more effective in organic soils, almost 10x greater than in conventional soils.

HOW CAN I TELL IF A PRODUCT HAS CERTIFIED ORGANIC INGREDIENTS?

Check the Label for Certification Seals

[USDA Organic Label] – Contains at least 95% certified organic ingredients [OTCO Organic Label] – Contains at least 70% certified organic ingredients

HOW DOES USDA ORGANIC COMPARE TO OTHER LABEL CLAIMS?

The USDA Organic Seal is the only label claim (read that again) backed by stringent federal regulations. Organic certification is a multi-step process that verifies every stage of production meets federally outlined standards.

Which means the USDA Organic Seal provides traceability from the farm to you.

Plus, annual reviews and third-party inspections continuously guarantee those standards. And with the federal regulation, anyone who tries to defraud organic consumers faces massive fines, and in some cases, jail time.

This stringent federal oversight can’t be said for other label claims.

However, other claims are also supported by the USDA Organic Seal:

Claims supported by [USDA Organic Seal]: Non-GMO, Regenerative, Synthetic Pesticide-Free, Natural

THE USDA ORGANIC SEAL JUST GOT MIGHTIER

In March of 2024, the “Strengthening Organic Enforcement” rule was passed so that consumers can maintain full confidence in the integrity of the organic seal. The rule closes gaps in current organic regulations and builds on consistent certification practices to further prevent fraud.

We make all Pure Synergy products in-house at our certified organic manufacturing facility in Moab, Utah. So in the wake of this ruling, we mobilized to ensure our organic certification, and those of our ingredient suppliers, remain steadfast. And we will adapt to meet any new regulations that may come in the future.

At Pure Synergy, we’ve championed organic long before official certifications were even a thing, so we welcome a ruling of this nature. Timely, updated rules mean clear guardrails. Guardrails that make organic farming, production, and certification scalable. Which is exactly what’s needed for organic to save the planet.
