Product Standards

LifeSource carefully evaluates each and every product we carry using a strict set of guidelines designed to ensure that we carry only the healthiest – and least processed – products available, and that they have traveled the least distance before arriving in our store. 

Each of our buyers must evaluate factors such as organic content, ingredients, production methods, social responsibility and how local the product is before allowing it into our store for you to purchase.
