UPDATED!

From time to time it becomes necessary to update formulations. The time for that has come for our Univase formula. We have been working on a re-formulation for some time now and our work is coming to fruition in this reformulation.

 So, what’s changing?

The new Univase will still contain nearly all of the old ingredients. We removed rutin due to  food sensitivity issues in a number of customers. It was a minor player in the old formula. The new Univase will be in specially enteric coated capsules instead of the tablets it has been delivered in.

Why capsules?

For many years we have been getting requests to put this formula in capsules. We simply couldn’t comply because the technology to protect capsule contents from the gastric juices in the stomach just wasn’t fully developed.

The advantages of capsules are many. There is no loss of enzyme activity due to heat of compressing tablets. There are fewer excipients (binders, fillers, granulating agents, etc. ) required to make the tablet hold together on the outside of the body and break apart in the correct spot on the inside of the body. In other words,  make the product work as it should. Capsules are, for many people, easier to swallow. The only disadvantage is size because tablets compress the ingredients and usually have a smaller footprint. We have also taken advantage of newer technology that allows us to use more concentrated forms of our raw materials and make the capsules actually smaller than tablets have been in the recent past.

Now we can report that the technology is developed to the point where we can deliver the product to you in capsule form with at least an equal, and in our opinion greatly improved, strength and quality. Thus we can now take advantage of that improved technology to bring you the most powerful and advanced proteolytic enzyme formulation available.

Other changes

We know that many people hate it when things change. But we assure everyone that it is time for the changes. So what exactly is changing? Well, first we have added an enzyme- Natto-Kinase. Natto-Kinase is a potent and highly active enzyme extracted from soy. It has only recently become widely available and we have been able to obtain a supply at a reasonable price. Having researched this enzyme we decided it was time to add this to our powerful Univase formulation. We already added Natto-Kinase to our Univase Forte formulation over a year ago and we have been quite pleased with the feedback we are receiving from our regular customers for that product.

Second, we added N-Acetylcysteine. This is an important component of a short-chain amino acid called L-Glutathione (already contained in Univase). This is a VERY important component in any enzyme formulation. N-Acetylcysteine helps the human body make its own L-Glutathione which is a key to activating proteolytic enzymes.

Third, we have greatly increased the strength of Super-Oxide Dismutase (SOD). SOD is a powerful enzyme in reducing the damaging super-oxide radical that is present whenever there is tissue damage and inflammation. SOD helps keep the surrounding tissue from sustaining damage from this free-radical.

Will there be a price increase?

Yes, there will be an increase in the price. Improvements are not cheap, but they aren’t as expensive as you might think. We haven’t had a price increase on Univase in nearly 20 years and we will continue to work to keep pricing as low as possible.

It’s the time of the year. The weather turns cold and suddenly there’s lung congestion all around. Coughing, wheezing, chest tightness. A winter cough can be quite unpleasant.

Now’s the time to give your lungs the support they need. Pneumal Complex is specially designed to give maximum support to these important but often neglected organs. It contains vitamin support in the form of Beta-Carotene as well as herbal support using Slippery Elm, Pleurisy Root, Foenugreek, Thyme, Yerba Santa and Perilla Seed Extract.

These nutrients seperately provide powerful support for many problems associated with the lungs but together they serve synergistically to create a potent all-purpose lung support supplement. If you or your clients need a supplement designed to support the lungs through a tough winter (or any other season- they all can be hard on the lungs in different ways) then Pneumal Complex is for you.

It

Got customers with acid reflux who want to try a natural approach to the problem? Then we’ve got what you want.

D-Limonene is a natural extract from orange peel that has some unique properties. It can help the body reduce discomfort from GERD (acid reflux) a couple of different ways. It floats on top of the stomach fluids and helps soothe the irritated mucous membranes in the stomach.

Some have reported belching with this product but that’s not necessarily a bad thing in this case. That’s because the second way it helps is by coating the lining of the esophagus, thus helping the body to protect that area from damage from stomach acid.

Now’s your opportunity to try this approach to the problem of reflux at a great new price!

Between Nov. 7 and Nov. 20th, 2010 we are offering a 10% discount on D-Limonene. If ordering online use the coupon code “DLIM.” If calling in your order we’ll just subtract the discount automatically.

There are some new technical bulletins on the Technical page.

We have just added a technical sheet for the Virex Complex (the NEW formulation with Vitamin D3).

The new technical sheet for the Gluco-Poise product is now posted on the Technical page.

We are always working to update and create new product detail information so keep checking back for more technical bulletins that you can download for your staff and patients.
