BIO-enhanced Technology
by Pat McKay
BIO-enhanced, organic, living-cell, whole-food supplement technology is a new and innovative approach to the manufacturing of vitamins and minerals. BIO-enhanced ingredients are “grown” containing a full food matrix, so in essence, your body recognizes these ingredients as food.
BIO-enhanced vitamins and minerals contain food constituents of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, enzymes, and bioflavonoids.
Unlike BIO-enhanced, synthetic vitamins do not contain these active constituents that assist the body in breaking down, absorbing, and retaining the nutriments for optimum results.
BIO-enhanced Clinical Testing
ESSENTIALS4ALL BIO-enhanced Vitamin C absorbed 1.87 greater than synthetic (USP or FCC) ascorbic acid in a double blind study at Scranton University.
Bio-availability of ESSENTIALS4ALL BIO-8 supplements was 2.6 times greater than the pharmaceutical form. The maximum blood-level peak was 126 percent higher for ESSENTIALS4ALL supplement than for pharmaceutical form.
ESSENTIALS4ALL BIO-enhanced formulas are bio-energetically developed and have been used in my clinical practice since 1995.
Competition
There are less than ten companies in the world making standard, pharmaceutical vitamins and over 3,500 marketing them. There are three companies selling BIO-enhanced supplements and only one high-quality producer; that producer is here in the United States.
Manufacturing Process
Step 1: Yeast is added to purified water in a large mixing vat as a “growing medium.”
Step 2: The USP or FCC ingredient is added to the growing medium…as the “seed.”
Step 3: Temperature and growing time are closely regulated and monitored.
Step 4: The product is tested for accurate levels of elemental and total powders of the ingredient.
Step 5: The powder is spray dried to ensure that no active yeast is present.
Step 6: The powder is tested for bacterial and fungal counts within FDA GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards and elemental content is verified a second time.
Food Supplements that Emulate Food
ESSENTIALS4ALL next generation nutrients have elevated the food-state concept to a higher level, endeavoring to attain vital food supplements that emulate food. The goal is to give living culture cells an opportunity to interact with nutrients in the soil, “building” the nutrients into a food matrix.
Vegetarian and Cruelty-Free
For vegans and vegetarians who take our supplements, ESSENTIALS4ALL BIO-8 does not contain ingredients derived from animals. The only exception is the USP Vitamin D-3 starting material, which is produced from lipids, derived from wool. We do not add gelatin to our media or use it as a carrier for spray drying.
Free of Preservatives
All ingredients from laboratory suppliers are specified to be free of preservatives. If preservatives are found, the material is rejected.
Free of Isolates
Other than the USP and FCC vitamin and mineral starting nutrients, ESSENTIALS4ALL BIO-enhanced, organic, living-cell, whole-food nutrients do not contain isolates such as modified starch, isolated soy protein, or lactose.
Testing and Bio-availability
ESSENTIALS4ALL has performed human bio-availability studies on its products. There has been no testing on animals. These studies were performed at the University of Scranton, Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Technical Support and Quality Control
ESSENTIALS4ALL products are produced by the largest and most prestigious supplement laboratory for human-grade supplements in the United States. This laboratory, of course, has its own testing facilities, and we also use independent laboratories to test our products. We can provide certificates of analysis for each batch of vitamin/mineral supplements produced to confirm that it is within our product specifications.
