I've always wondered what is considered "free range" VS "cage free" when it comes to buying eggs. This answers many of my questions. Also, who regulates the word "organic" on food products? What if it says "natural" instead of "organic". What's the difference there?

Auxigro seems to essentially be "MSG for fruits and vegetables." Think MSG + BHG.Glutamic Acid (essentially MSG) is indeed part of the chemical soup that makes up this mixture.

Organic foods are produced according to certain production standards. For crops, it means they were grown without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge, and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. For animals, it means they were reared without the routine use of antibiotics and without the use of growth hormones. In most countries, organic produce must not be genetically modified.Organic food production is legally regulated. Currently, the United States, the European Union, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain organic certification in order to market food as organic.Historically, organic farms have been relatively small family-run farms — which is why organic food was once only available in small stores or farmers' markets. Meanwhile, it is becoming much more widely available, with market growth rates of around 20% a year since the early 1990s, far ahead of the rest of the food industry, in both developed and developing nations. As of today organic food accounts for 1-2% of food sales worldwide. In the future, growth is expected to range from 10-50% annually depending on the country. (see facts and statistics below)
