Orgain Healthcare Professional Catalog The Orgain® Story Our founder Andrew Abraham, M.D. created Orgain with one simple goal in mind — to put the power of good, clean nutrition in the hands of people everywhere. After beating cancer at an early age, Andrew devoted himself to medicine. But his passion to find better nutrition inspired him to leave his practice and create foods and beverages based on the belief that real nutrition has the power to make a real dierence in people’s lives. Today, Andrew’s relentlessly high standards for nutrition, quality, and taste go into everything we create at Orgain. That means we go the extra mile to hand-select organic and high-quality ingredients to maximize nutrition whenever we can. Our group of culinary nutritionists make sure everything is as delicious as it is clean. And we continue to create more accessible and inclusive options for everyone, including products for adults and kids, that span dairy-based to plant-based, and more. Simply put, at Orgain, our mission is to help more people live vibrant lives through the power of good, clean nutrition. 3 Catalog Contents Orgain FAQs page 6 Nutritional Shakes Organic Nutrition™ Shake page 10 Organic Nutrition™ Vegan Shake page 12 Kids Protein™ Organic Nutritional Shake page 14 Kids Plant Protein™ Organic Nutritional Shake page 16 High Protein Shakes Clean Protein™ Shake page 18 Plant Protein™ Shake page 20 Organic Protein™ Shake page 22 Protein Boosted Drinks Organic Almond Milk & Protein page 24 Powders Organic Protein™ Plant-Based Protein Powder page 26 Organic Protein™ Plant-Based Protein Powder Single Serve Packets page 28 Organic ProteinTM & Superfoods Plant-Based Powder page 30 Organic ProteinTM & Greens Plant-Based Powder page 32 Organic Meal™ Nutrition Powder page 34 Clean WheyTM Protein Powder page 36 4 Simple Organic Plant Protein Powder page 38 Powders (cont.)

The Orgain line of products includes nutritional shakes, protein shakes, protein powders, pancake and wa e mix, and protein bars that are incredibly delicious and packed with nutritious, high-quality ingredients. Just as important as what’s in Orgain products is what’s not in them. Most Orgain products are made without GMO ingredients, soy ingredients, gluten, corn syrup, carrageenan, preservatives and pesticides - and many Orgain products are USDA certified organic. Why is it called Orgain? The name Orgain was created by the founder of the company, Dr. Andrew Abraham, by combining the words “organic” and “gain.” Orgain has a deep commitment to using organic ingredients, and we believe that people can “gain health, gain energy, and gain life” through clean, wholesome nutrition. Dr. Abraham has personally experienced dramatically improved health and energy by making changes to his diet. Where can I buy Orgain products? Orgain products are available at Orgain.com, at more than 30,000 retail store locations nationwide, and at e-commerce sites like Amazon.com. Why does Orgain taste so much better than other nutritional products? The inspiration for the Orgain formulations comes from Dr. Abraham’s kitchen, so the focus is always on real, food-based ingredients. Using premium ingredients like organic cocoa, organic vanilla beans and real organic fruits and veggies makes for delicious products that taste like they come from the kitchen instead of a lab. 6 Is there any soy in Orgain products? Orgain does not use soy as an ingredient in any of its products. Are any of the top eight allergens (soy, wheat, eggs, fish, shellfish, dairy, peanuts, or tree nuts) found in Orgain's products? Most Orgain products are made without eggs, wheat, soy, fish, or shellfish ingredients. Peanuts, tree nuts, and dairy are used as ingredients in certain products. Several Orgain products are made without any of the eight major allergens. Please check the list of ingredients for each specific product you are considering. How should I store my products? Orgain powders, bars, unopened ready-to-drink shakes, and unopened almond milks are safe when stored at room temperature. Because they taste best when served cold, ready-to-drink shakes and almond milks can also be stored in the refrigerator. Ready-to-drink shakes should be consumed within two hours after opening if not refrigerated and within 72 hours after opening, if refrigerated. Almond milk should be refrigerated after opening and consumed within 7 days. Powder products mixed into a drink or shake should be consumed within two hours and 24 hours, if refrigerated. Are any Orgain products eligible for reimbursement? Orgain All-In-One Shakes, Vegan All-In-One Shakes and Kids Protein Nutritional Shakes have HCPCS reimbursement codes. Several national durable medical equipment companies (DMEs) carry Orgain and can help eligible patients obtain insurance coverage for oral nutrition use or tube feeding. How can I get samples of Orgain products for my patients? Approved Healthcare Ambassadors have access to the Healthcare Ambassador Sampling Portal, where requesting samples is quick and easy. Orgain allows Healthcare Ambassadors to request samples for their practice (to use in consultation with patients or clients) or to send samples and discount oers directly to patients or clients. Visit healthcare.orgain.com/ambassador to request an ambassador account. Have a question?

In this way, her film Nothing Like Chocolate follows in the same vein as her award-winning earlier film The Shape of Water, which depicts intimate stories of women working for social justice around the world, and how some of them are making tremendous strides. In her search for exemplary chocolate-making operations, she hit filmmaker pay dirt when she came across the Grenada Chocolate Factory and its eccentric founder, who would become the focus of the film.

  • By Matt Robinson Once Upon a Time, There Were Few Options for The
    INSIGHTS IN HOSPITAL IT Y™ By Matt Robinson Once upon a time, there were few options for the romantically-inclined to express their feelings. A few colors of flowers and cardboard hearts of various sizes (filled with items of varying quality) were often all that could be found. These days, however, the options are almost overwhelming! That is why we at Santé have organized them so that you can make the most effective choice for wooing and winning the person(s) of your choice. While wining and dining can be a great way to woo, especially as we are all locked in and locked down these days and many of our relationships (including potentially romantic ones) are limited to digital interfaces, it might be a good year to try something more low-key. One great option is the “Crazy for You” pizza and wings combo from Chocolate Pizza Company (www.ChocolatePizza.com). This sweet set combines a gourmet chocolate pizza that is made with homemade English toffee and topped it with red, pink, and white chocolate candies and sugar sprinkles with a 16 oz. red tin of their famed peanut butter wings, which drench rippled potato chips in peanut butter and either milk or dark chocolate. If you are looking to get out and about without leaving home, the Boston Public Library’s Norman B. Leventhal Map Center is offering an online tour of some of the spots that have made Massachusetts a candy capitol for generations (www.leventhalmap.org/articles/candy-tour/). From Paul Revere’s house to the famed wafer-colored silo on the New England Confectionary Company (NECCO) building to the toll house in Whitman, MA where the eponymous cookie was invented, the BPL takes visitors on a tasty tour through history that will take many back to their own childhoods and also inspire them to use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to revisit some old favorites.

  • Icam Cioccolatieri Presents Agostoni
    Icam Cioccolatieri presents Agostoni EXCELLENCE MADE IN ICAM: SEVENTY YEARS OF PASSION AND EXPERTISE. Icam, 70 years of excellent Italian chocolate ICAM chocolate is the result of the undying passion handed down by the Agostoni family since 1946, virtuosos of a genuine chocolate culture made in Italy. Passion, creativity and a close eye on market trends have made it possible to achieve this goal: for 70 years these have represented the essence of ICAM, a well known and successful brand with the best professionals all over the world, that cherish the flavour of its chocolate and the quality of the raw materials, grown in respect of environment, social and economic sustainability. Born from the initiative of Silvio Agostoni who, just after the war, established an artisanal workshop in Lecco to produce sugar, Icam immediately developed an interest in chocolate which was considered no longer a luxury product, but a quality product at an accessible price, to bring to every family. Thanks to the collaboration with Vitali, Icam created an innovative horizontal press that gave a more efficient and uniform production. Ten years after its establishment, Icam reached industrial dimensions. In 1961 the founder died prematurely; his wife Carolina Vanini and her brothers Giancarlo and Urbano continued to run the company and the program of excellence. From the Seventies, with the arrival of the eldest son Angelo Agostoni in the company, Icam started searching cocoa in the best plantations developing a close collaboration with the farmers. In the Eighties Icam opened an in-house Quality Control laboratory and production technologies continued to be improved.

  • Pacari: Premium Organic Chocolate from Tree to Bar
    Pacari: Premium organic chocolate from tree to bar Track: Management Education and Teaching Cases Key Words: Shared-Value, Emerging Markets, Value Added 1 Pacari: Premium organic chocolate from tree to bar Abstract This case portrays the story of Pacari to analyze the chocolate industry's global value chain. Pacari is an Ecuadorian mid-sized company whose chocolate bars have earned countless international awards. Even though the case starts with an apparent decision over the product’s price, it was designed to discuss the concept of shared-value in undergraduate, graduate and executive education programmes. Pacari is a perfect example of a business vision that does not favors financial results, but rather economic and social improvement of social actors in Ecuador. 2 Pacari: Premium organic chocolate from tree to bar Santiago Peralta, General Manager at Pacari, arrived at his office located in the traditional neighborhood of La Floresta in Quito early in the morning, as was his custom. The day before he took part in a meeting where the consequences predicted in Ecuador for the 2016 El Niño phenomenon were explained; El Niño is an erratic climatic event that affects the Ecuadorian Pacific and generates, on some occasions, heavy rains due to temperature changes in the sea. For the mentioned year, a particularly strong ‘Niño’ was expected, with superior intensity than that experienced in the 97-98 period, which brings unpleasant memories to the country due to damage suffered. With his distinctive optimism, Santiago sat down to ponder in his office. There was no doubt that cacao crops, mostly present in the coast of Ecuador, would be affected, complicating the buying process of quality seed.
