Founded by Linda Kahler in 1981, Rainbow Light started by offering a spriulina supplement but eventually expanded into offering the first-ever food-based supplements. The name Rainbow Light came as a result of researchers discovering that spirulina refracted every color of the rainbow. With the development of additional food-based supplements, Rainbow Light products contain a variety of nutritional elements that have various health benefits.
Types
Rainbow Light offers a variety of food-based supplements with formulas designed for specific dietary requirements. For example, multivitamin supplements are formulated for men, women, prenatal and menopausal females, and teenagers. Children and infant supplements are also available in gummy vitamins and multivitamin powders. Other available supplements include allergen-safe and vegan-safe formulas with additional supplements, including protein powders, weight management supplements and canine supplements.
Features
Every Rainbow Light supplements starts with certified organic spirulina as the primary ingredient, according to the company's website. The supplements contain a balance of additional ingredients such as probiotics, enzymes or botanicals based on the intended function of the supplement. These additional ingredients are designed to enhance digestion and the body's ability to absorb the nutrients. During the manufacturing process, Rainbow Light products are made in a certified organic facility and don't contain artificial additives, according to the company.
Size
The amount of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients varies among Rainbow Light supplements. One of the major considerations for different nutrient values is gender because men and women vary in body mass, muscle structure and hormone balances. For example, the women's certified organics multivitamin contains additional iron and chromium while the men's certified organics multivitamin contains additional zinc.
