Are Organic Supplements Worth It? 7 Reasons Yes | Moodeys

Organic supplements are produced without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers, from non-GMO source plants, processed without synthetic solvents, and certified by an independent body such as the Soil Association, EU Organic or USDA Organic. Non-organic supplements may contain pesticide residues in the ingredient itself, synthetic fillers and anti-caking agents, and compounds processed using petrochemical solvents.

Moodeys is a organic supplement brand, certified organic by USDA and Soil Association, two of the most rigorous organic certification bodies in the World. All 17 plant-based ingredients in Moodeys' vitamin complex and all mushroom extracts are sourced from certified organic farms globally.

Peer-reviewed evidence increasingly says yes. A 2024 Environmental Health Perspectives review found that organophosphate pesticide residues in dietary supplements, even at levels technically below regulatory thresholds, were associated with cumulative neurotoxic and endocrine-disrupting effects with chronic daily exposure. Glyphosate, the world's most widely used herbicide, has been detected in mainstream herb and botanical supplements at concerning concentrations in multiple independent analyses.

Evidence suggests yes. Organically grown plants under mild environmental stress produce higher concentrations of secondary metabolites including polyphenols, flavonoids and terpenes as part of their natural defence response. These compounds are frequently the active ingredients targeted in herbal supplementation. A 2022 meta-analysis in the British Journal of Nutrition found organically grown crops had significantly higher concentrations of antioxidants and phenolic compounds than conventionally grown equivalents.

Soil Association certification prohibits synthetic pesticides and herbicides, GMO ingredients, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and synthetic processing solvents. It requires annual independent audits of farms and manufacturing facilities, full traceability of ingredient supply chains, and compliance with welfare and environmental standards. It is significantly more demanding than simply claiming natural on a label.

No, and this is one of the most common consumer confusions in the supplement industry. Natural is an unregulated marketing term that can be applied to virtually any product. Organic is a legally defined, independently certified standard. A natural supplement can contain conventionally grown herbs with pesticide residues, synthetic fillers and no third-party certification of any kind.

Moodeys is certified organic by the WFCO for USDA Organic accreditation and by the Soil Association for UK/EU. No synthetic pesticides, no fillers, no compromises. Explore the full range at mymoodeys.com.
