Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes
By your 30s, you may have already mastered the basics of skin care, which include incorporating a cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen in your routine. You’ll start to see changes in your skin when you hit your 30s, so if you haven’t established a good skin care routine, then now is the time to start. Don’t wait until it’s too late!
Get ready to say goodbye to a tired-looking complexion and hello to supple skin. Here are five skin care essentials that you should start using in your early 30s:
Sunscreen is important in your 20s but it’s even more essential when you enter your 30s.
Your early 30s is when you start to notice sun or environmental damage on skin from your younger days, so using sunscreen every day is vital to prevent further damage. If you want to know how to slow aging, one of the best ways to do so is by using sunscreen to protect your skin against visible signs of aging.
Try BLITHE’s UV Protector Honest Sunscreen, which offers broad-spectrum protection of SPF 50+ PA++++ to defend skin from UV exposure. In addition to sun protection, the reef-safe formula contains propanediol and soothing plant-based ingredients such as banana, melon, prune, rose, pear and ivy extracts to nourish skin and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
The reason skin is at its healthiest and plumpest state in your early 20s is due to quick skin cell turnover that takes an average of 28 days. As this process slows down after turning 30, you may begin to notice spots and dull or dry skin. Adding retinol to your routine can help speed up skin cell turnover.
COSRX’s Real Fit Retinol Serum is formulated with 0.5% stabilized retinyl palmitate, which reverses sun damage, lightens hyperpigmentation and, most importantly, stimulates skin cell turnover. With continued use, you should notice improved skin texture and dull skin transforming into a more radiant appearance.
If you’re new to retinol or you have sensitive skin, try NEOGEN’s Dermalogy Real Bakuchiol Firming Serum first. The serum is formulated with bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative to retinol that’s just as effective in promoting skin cell turnover without causing any irritation. Start slow by using the serum once a week, and gradually build up from there until your skin can tolerate using it every night.
Even if you don’t have dry skin, you may start to notice signs of dryness in your early 30s. Use toners to add moisture back to your skin.
Instead of exfoliating toners, reach for hydrating toners on a daily basis, such as ones from ONE THING, Isntree, Haruharu WONDER and ROVECTIN. These toners have one thing in common: they leave your skin hydrated. Keep your skin moisturized all day and night by using a hydrating toner in your morning and evening routines after cleansing.
Do you wonder why your skin isn’t as firm as it once was? Our skin produces less collagen as we age, resulting in a loss of skin elasticity. To fix this issue, try using products with collagen-boosting ingredients, including peptides, Vitamin C and retinol, to keep your skin firm.
Incorporating a peptides-packed product like KLAVUU’s Rejuve Pearlsation Multi Pearl Peptide Cream into your routine is a great way to improve and strengthen skin elasticity. Enriched with Korean pearl extract, pearl collagen and pearl conchiolin, the cream combats signs of aging and leaves skin moisturized, with an enviable glow.
Your eye area is usually the first place to show fine lines since the skin there is a lot thinner than the rest of your face. If you started using an eye cream during your early or late 20s, then good for you! If you haven’t, then don’t delay it any longer. Make a habit of applying eye cream every night once you turn 30.
Eye creams don’t just tackle dark circles and puffiness, they also prevent signs of aging around the eye area. Want to look like you’ve had eight hours of beauty sleep? Look for an eye cream that brightens the eye area and improves the appearance of crow’s feet.
Your eye area would enjoy MIZON’s Collagen Power Firming Eye Cream. Packed with collagen, organic argan oil, hyaluronic acid and adenosine, the eye cream delivers the right amount of hydration, making dark circles less noticeable and the appearance of fine lines less prominent.

Bluechew is a subscription service that sells chewable ED tablets. Telemedicine is used on its website to allow users to create a medical profile, and then have a digital consult with a healthcare professional.
Bluechew can be a great solution for those who suffer from erectile dysfunction. It is important to remember that chewables should not be taken by people who are taking nitrate based medications.
Bluechew offers chewable ED medications through an online subscription service. Customers can sign up for an online consultation and then receive a prescription from a doctor. Bluechew offers several membership plans including a free trial. During the consultation, the doctor will review the customer’s medical history and recommend the best plan for them. The company offers a mobile app that allows patients to talk with doctors at their convenience.
The company is based in Chicago, Illinois, and uses a telemedicine model to connect customers with a licensed medical professional. All members must fill out a medical form and provide information on their symptoms, medications and other factors which could affect their health. Once the prescription has been approved, the company will send the medication directly to the customer.
The product is FDA approved and safe for most people. However, it may not be suitable for people with certain heart conditions. The chewable tablets absorb quickly into the bloodstream and are easy to swallow. They are also a good choice for people who can’t swallow pills.
The product is designed to combat erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition that affects 30,000,000 men in the United States. It works by dilating the blood vessels to increase penis size and improve sexual experience. The product also helps with arousal and can improve the quality of sex.
BlueChew, a telehealth program, offers chewable ED medications to men with erectile problems. The service uses medically-trained teams to assess each man’s needs and create a personalized plan. They sell tablets that contain sildenafil or vardenafil. These medications are FDA approved and work by blocking PDE5 inhibitors within the body. This allows blood vessels dilate, which helps you achieve a erection.
The medication takes about an hour to take effect. They can last up until 36 hours depending on your condition. However, tadalafil is more likely to be effective for longer periods of time. The service provides a free trial for new customers. They also offer a monthly subscription plan, which is cheaper than purchasing individual pills.
The BlueChew service does not accept insurance, but it is still less expensive than visiting a doctor in person. The service can be paused or cancelled easily. The company is committed in reducing the cost for ED medication. They also believe that men shouldn’t feel embarrassed to ask for help. The service’s consultants are available to discuss a variety of issues, including psychological problems, and they provide personalized treatment for each patient. BlueChew’s doctors follow state laws on telemedicine to write prescriptions. The cost of a prescription depends on the type of medication and dosage prescribed, as well as the plan you choose.
The erectile dysfunction treatment BlueChew contains the same active ingredients as Viagra and Cialis, but they are chewable. These medications are much cheaper than the brand-name drugs, and are delivered in discreet packaging. However, you should be aware of the potential side effects of this product.
The main ingredient in BlueChew is Sildenafil, which works in 30 to 60 minutes and lasts for up to 4 hours. You should take this medicine 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. Taking it too late can cause your erection to become weak and painful. Some people may also experience headaches, dizziness or flushing.
BlueChew also offers other medical treatments, such as eyedrops and topical creams. The company offers a free trial to new customers. Some of these products require a prescription. This way, you can see if the medication is right for you before making a commitment to purchase it.
You should avoid taking bluechew if you are taking any other PDE5 inhibitors or nitrates. Nitrates can cause preload reduction, which impairs the heart’s ability to pump blood. You should also check with your doctor if you already have any health issues or pre-existing conditions. You should not use this drug if, for example, you have a history with cardiovascular disease.
BlueChew, a subscription service, provides chewable tablets to treat erectile problems. It is a telehealth service that allows men to avoid the time-consuming and awkward process of visiting a doctor in person. It also eliminates the necessity to purchase expensive brand-name medications. The pills will be delivered to you in a discreet package, which is perfect for those who value their privacy. The company offers a free trial period and a money-back guarantee.
The medications used in BlueChew tablets are FDA-approved and contain active ingredients that have been proven to treat ED. These include sildenafil tadalafil and vardenafil. The company’s aim is to provide a better experience for patients than a traditional pharmacy and doctor’s office. They believe that the US healthcare system should be reimagined with the needs of patients in mind.
The service also includes an easy-to use website accessible on a desktop computer or mobile device. After completing a health questionnaire, users can receive their prescriptions in a matter of days. The site also offers a chat support service that can answer your questions and give you tips. It also offers a free trial period for those who are not satisfied with the results of their prescriptions. The customer service team of the company usually contacts clients about five days before the trial expires.

It’s everywhere these days. Once available only at the underground vitamin shop’s bottom shelf, it’s now at your high-end grocery stores, local pharmacies, and corner coffeehouses.
It’s in lollipops, morning cereal, hummus, mustard, deodorants, beard balms, and nail polish (… yes, nail polish!)
We know CBD is good, but nail polish doesn’t… I mean, how… and what… Never mind.
With all the noise, it’s clear we need to get our facts straight and discuss how to do things the right way for maximum benefits.
For a more in-depth look into the process, please read our blog, “What’s with Cannabinoids?”
But briefly… CBD is one of the dozens of chemical compounds, known as cannabinoids, found abundantly on the Cannabis plant. CBD reacts with our natural endocannabinoid system to keep the inner workings of the mammalian body run like a well-lubed machine.
The CBD molecule is widely documented for its therapeutic applications for:
- Pain Management
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties
- Epilepsy and Seizure Control
- and promising research into its effects on cancer and tumor growth.
WHAT IT’S NOT
A common misconception is that CBD is marijuana and, therefore, illegal.
First, CBD is not marijuana and does not get you “stoned.” Unlike its cousin compound THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and safe to use.
Second, CBD is not illegal. The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (aka the Farm Bill) legalized hemp-derived CBD as long as the product met strict federal guidelines. The compound is legal for consumption in the United States - as long as it is pure and contains less than 0.3% THC.
NOT ALL CBD IS CREATED EQUAL
With countless products in the market, how do you choose the right stuff?
Read the label and make sure it passes three essential criteria:
1) Is the product lab tested for integrity?
- Having a lab-vetted product is crucial. A professional laboratory “Certificate of Analysis (aka COA)” confirms the integrity and purity of the CBD isolates. No COA… you don’t know what you’re getting.
** All Indicalm products have COA certification available on the specific product page.
2) How much CBD Isolate is in the product?
- Check for the amount of claimed CBD Isolate in the product. CBD extraction is a costly process, and you want to make sure that you are getting precisely what is claimed. This information is available on the COA provided.
** All Indicalm products have COA certification available on the specific product page
3) Are the ingredients real food and organic?
- The delivery method of CBD Isolate is just as important as the purity of the molecule itself. It defeats the purpose of consuming CBD Isolates with less-than-ideal accompanying ingredients.
** Check ingredients list both on the product page or the packaging nutritional facts.
All Indicalm products are made with real food and certified organic ingredients. No GMO’s. No Synthetic Chemicals.
Our hemp is grown in open fields and not in synthetic greenhouses. Sun-grown all-natural goodness.
Read more about our methods on our "About" page.
HOW SHOULD CBD BE USED?
For best results, be mindful that CBD is most beneficial when consumed in concentrated (isolated) and pure form. The higher the CBD content and its purity, the more effective the results. Please refer to the Indicalm product page (and packaging) for the recommended dosage.
In general, we recommend edible forms of cannabinoids because they are better absorbed and delivered to the cells than some topical variants… sorry, we cannot vouch for nail polish.
Lastly, allow a few days for CBD to be absorbed and propagated throughout the body. Be patient. A consistent daily dose will help maintain the levels of CBD in your (or pet’s) body for therapeutic absorption and healing. Pay attention to the effects and adjust the dosage accordingly.
A good practice is to “start low… go slow.”

Eight years ago, Nutritional Outlook honored industry achievements by bestowing the magazine’s first award: Manufacturer of the Year. While it was relatively easy to select 1998’s award winner, Twinlab, it has become more difficult since then to choose just one industry leader.
Eight years ago, Nutritional Outlook honored industry achievements by bestowing the magazine’s first award: Manufacturer of the Year. While it was relatively easy to select 1998’s award winner, Twinlab, it has become more difficult since then to choose just one industry leader. In 2002, Nutritional Outlook gave two Manufacturer of the Year awards, and in 2004, the magazine replaced the Manufacturer of the Year honor with a new accolade, the Natural Product Awards, which went to six recipients.
This year, it was even more difficult to narrow down the winners. The past 12 months have been an exciting period for the industry-a period filled with innovative new products as companies bounced back from leaner times. This year, Nutritional Outlook is proud to announce 16 winners for its 2005 Natural Product Awards:
Research and Testing:
There’s more than one way to skin a cat, or in the case of omega-3 fatty acids, a fish. Most North American diets lack omega-3s. The American Heart Association (Dallas) recommends a combined daily intake of 500–1000 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Most diets average less than 100 mg.
Closing the gap has been difficult, particularly in the United States, where the average person eats only about 16 pounds of fish annually. More foods rich in EPA and DHA would help. The problem is that EPA and DHA are not the easiest materials to incorporate into food matrices. Enter Ocean Nutrition Canada (Dartmouth, NS, Canada). Using microencapsulation, Ocean has had remarkable success formulating with EPA and DHA. Ocean’s MEG-3 brand is on shelves in dietary supplements and in foods like bread, yogurt, and milk.
Breads were first. Early in 2005, Wegmans Food Markets (Rochester, NY) rolled out 100% whole-wheat, 12-grain, and very-low-sodium breads with 80–90 mg of omega-3s in each two-slice serving. The launch was the supermarket chain’s second foray into omega-3s, having successfully debuted eggs enriched with omega-3s in 2001. In February 2005, another company, The Baker (Milford, NJ), launched whole-grain bread containing MEG-3 as a featured ingredient. And in April of this year, Arnold Foods Co. (Bayshore, NY) rolled out Arnold Smart & Healthy 100% whole-wheat bread containing the same MEG-3.
Yogurts were next. In August, Danone Canada (Boucherville, QC, Canada) introduced Cardivia yogurt across Canada. Available in four flavors, the yogurt provides 62 mg of EPA and DHA per serving. Then, in October, the first American yogurt with omega-3s was created by the Woodstock Water Buffalo Co. (South Woodstock, VT). The yogurt contains a high 100 mg of EPA and DHA per 170-g serving.
The latest product is milk: Lark Dairies, based in Hong Kong, introduced its Trappist-brand milk with MEG-3 earlier in 2005. The milk soon outsold Lark’s regular milk by a 2:1 ratio. In North America, Farmers Dairy (Dartmouth, NS, Canada) recently became the first Canadian dairy to sell partly skimmed milk with MEG-3. “We believe our customers will love the taste of milk, the added heart health benefits of MEG-3, and the fact that this is a 100% locally made product,” says Andrea Hickey, marketing and communications manager at Farmers Dairy.
The wave of new product launches signifies that consumers and nutritionists finally agree on the merits of a natural ingredient. “I believe we are at a tipping point for improving American health,” says Ian Lucas, Ocean’s executive vice president of global marketing. “Science and data show that diet deficiencies exist. Microencapsulation technology enables formulations without the taste and smell of fish.”
With sugar and high-fructose corn syrup under fire from health experts, formulators are searching high and low for good-tasting yet functional alternatives. Their choices can be controversial, however. For instance, McNeil Nutritionals (Fort Washington, PA), the maker of the sucralose ingredient Splenda, became embroiled in legal battles last year with the Sugar Association (Washington, DC), which represents the sugar industry, over Splenda’s “Made with sugar so it tastes like sugar” marketing campaign.
Cerestar (Cedar Rapids, IA), a company owned by Cargill (Minneapolis), expects erythritol to make a difference. A white, odorless, crystalline, nonhygroscopic powder, erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sucrose but has no calories. European and Japanese studies have shown that more than 90% of ingested erythritol is absorbed and excreted unchanged in urine within a 24-hour period. Erythritol was affirmed generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in 1997.
One of the first companies to introduce erythritol into foods was Stonyfield Farms (Londonderry, NH), which added it to its MOOve Over Sugar snack. The product, which is made with organic milk and enriched with six live active cultures, is marketed as a snack choice for those who like yogurt but want less sugar and fewer calories.
At this year’s IFT Food Expo, which was held in July in New Orleans, Cargill introduced an organic erythritol for manufacturers who are searching for an even cleaner label. According to the company, the organic erythritol is crystallized to 99.5% purity from filtered and concentrated fermentation broth. The ingredient has a clean taste and can be used in dairy products, beverages, baked goods, and confections.
In 2005, DSM Nutritional Products (Parsippany, NJ) launched a nationwide consumer education campaign to support its branded green tea extract, Teavigo. DSM’s marketing campaign includes print advertisements in publications such as Cooking Light, Prevention, and Ladies Home Journal. The company is also running ad spots during “Leeza at Night,” a radio show hosted by media personality Leeza Gibbons. DSM’s promotional campaign, which includes consumer product launches under the Teavigo brand name at retail stores like GNC (Pittsburgh) and the Vitamin Shoppe (North Bergen, NJ), also features a sweepstakes drawing for a weeklong vacation at the Taneque Verde Ranch in Tucson, AZ.
One reason DSM decided to embark on the massive campaign was its market research, which showed that consumers understand the benefits of both green tea extract and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the primary antioxidant compound in green tea. According to DSM, 87% of consumers are familiar with green tea extract, and 18% are aware of EGCG. Similarly, 82% can identify the health benefits of green tea extract, and 53% know some of EGCG’s positive effects. DSM hopes that this consumer knowledge will translate into action: Nearly two-thirds of consumers say they plan to make some effort to consume green tea extract or EGCG in the next six months, according to DSM.
DSM uses a patented process to isolate the EGCG from green tea, resulting in a high-potency extract. First, the company uses water extraction to concentrate green tea leaves into an aqueous extract, which is then purified and spray dried. DSM then uses chromatography to further concentrate the EGCG.
“Teavigo has exceptional purity, with a high EGCG content at a minimum of 94% on a dry-weight basis,” says Lynda Doyle, business development manager at DSM. Doyle adds that Teavigo’s EGCG content is considerably higher than that of some other green tea extracts, which only contain about 30% EGCG. Furthermore, Teavigo has a neutral taste and off-white color, while other green tea extracts can be bitter and dark.
In July, DSM announced that Teavigo, which has already been used as a food and beverage ingredient in South Africa and Japan, is GRAS in the United States. “The maximized purity of Teavigo enables more EGCG to be formulated into applications, optimizing the healthful benefits to consumers,” Doyle says.
To showcase Teavigo’s potential applications, DSM unveiled a prototype beverage at this year’s IFT Food Expo. The beverage, part of DSM’s One Solution concept, uses flavors developed by Givaudan (Vernier, Switzerland), and packaging by Tetra Pak (Lausanne, Switzerland).
One of the most popular ingredients for cardiovascular health, coenzyme Q10, is also one of the most scarce. In the past few years, CoQ10 demand has risen dramatically. Fueled in part by new research into the potential applications of CoQ10 and also by Japan’s decision to grant CoQ10 Foods for Specified Health Use (FOSHU) status, the CoQ10 shortage has even prompted some opportunistic companies to supply fake ingredients. Recognizing the problem, SoftGel Technologies (Los Angeles) recently reformulated its CoQ10 ingredient, CoQsol, into a more bioavailable form that prevents crystallization, CoQsol-CF.
“If supply is diminished and demand is increased, the solution lies in improving the performance of the material we have available,” says Kenn Israel, director of marketing at Soft Gel. According to Israel, the principal idea behind the reformulated ingredient is that CoQ10’s bioavailability is limited by its large particle size, crystalline form, and lipophilic nature. The new ingredient, whose “CF” suffix stands for “crystal free,” uses a natural citrus-peel extract, D-limonene, and vitamin E to completely dissolve the CoQ10 crystals. “Previous technologies to solubilize CoQ10 have relied on harsh synthetic detergent surfactants, or the formulations created suspensions of fine particles,” Israel explains. “CoQsol-CF is superior in that it is a truly solubilized material, maintains its solubility in normal storage and use conditions, does not recrystallize, and features enhanced absorption.”
According to Ron Udell, Soft Gel president, CoQsol-CF has become a valuable addition to the company’s portfolio of ingredients. “We know that the market is demanding both cost-effective and research-backed solutions,” Udell says. “This new product strengthens our position as the leading supplier of enhanced-performance softgels while upholding our commitment to using only safe and natural ingredients.”
Health officials have sounded the obesity alarm, and for once, America is listening. A July 2005 opinion poll from the Harvard School of Public Health (Boston) reported that 75% of Americans rate obesity as an extremely or very serious public health problem. A majority also believe that scientific experts have accurately portrayed obesity’s health risks, and 22% think those risks may actually be underestimated.
Childhood obesity also is high on the list of concerns. School boards across the country are rewriting menus and banning soda in response to studies that show that 15% of children and adolescents are overweight.
Fortitech (Schenectady, NY) reacted by formulating nutrient-rich foods and drinks for kids. At this year’s IFT Food Expo, the company unveiled vitamin and mineral premixes aimed specifically at parents and kids.
“According to the statistics we captured, the most highly researched market for product development is children,” says Maria Battista, director of marketing at Fortitech. “Coupled with the high obesity rates in children, the demonstration proved to be very successful and offered progressive ideas for taking products that appeal to kids and making them nutrient rich.”
One idea was individually wrapped vitamin C– and calcium-fortified apples for lunches or snacks. The added ascorbic acid inhibits the typical browning effects that keep kids away from peeled apples. Freeze pops fortified with vitamins A, C, and E were another. A third intriguing concept, donuts that were enriched with vitamins and calcium, also had a good amino acid profile. And knowing that chocolate is a child’s best friend, Fortitech also added vitamins A, B, and D to chocolate pudding. The vitamins transformed the dessert from an empty-calorie meal into a chocolate-flavored treat with heart-friendly antioxidants.
For adults, Fortitech offered calcium chelate in a cappuccino-flavored shake. The shake provides half of the recommended daily allowance of calcium, but the calcium chelate is specially formulated to disperse in neutral-pH liquids without needing stabilizers-eliminating settling, chalky taste, and precipitation.
All herbs arrive from the farm contaminated with microorganisms. Steam, ethylene oxide, and gamma irradiation reduce bacterial counts, but not without side effects. In 2004, PureWorld Botanicals (South Hackensack, NJ) filed a U.S. patent for a gentler, residue-free sterilization method called PurePowder. In 2005, PureWorld began using the process to bring extracts to market.
PurePowder relies upon heterogenous biphase sterilization technology to decontaminate botanical ingredients. The process eliminates microbial contamination without changing the raw material’s chemical or physical properties. In addition, the process does not leave a chemical residue. The process takes place in a fluid-bed mixer. PureWorld mixes the raw materials with filtered heated air and hydrogen peroxide or another nascent oxygen source. As the hydrogen peroxide comes in contact with heat, it releases nascent or atomic oxygen, which functions as a germicide by oxidizing microorganisms. Mixing continues for up to an hour, depending on batch size.
According to tests conducted by PureWorld for its patent application, the process is highly effective. A solution of 3–10 kg of 35% hydrogen peroxide, for example, sterilized 1000 kg of botanical powder. There were no residues because hydrogen peroxide quickly breaks down into water and oxygen, and the chemical and physical properties of the botanical powder remained intact.
One of the most useful developments for manufacturers has been the advent of encapsulation technology for nutraceutical ingredients. NutraLease (Ashkelon, Israel) has invented a delivery system that significantly widens the field of applications for nanoencapsulated ingredients. According to P.L. Thomas (Morristown, NJ), NutraLease’s exclusive distributor in the United States, the delivery system has several benefits. First, it improves solubility for ingredients. Second, it enhances bioavailability. Third, it protects ingredients from forces such as oxidation and enzymatic reactions.
Several of the first ingredients to be nanoencapsulated under the NutraLease system, including CoQ10, lutein, and lycopene, are known for not being very bioavailable or soluble under normal conditions. Through nanoencapsulation, these ingredients can be added to a variety of oil- or water-based beverages. Similarly, the fat-soluble vitamins D and E, which are also part of the NutraLease portfolio, normally require special handling because they are not soluble in water. NutraLease enables manufacturers to add these ingredients into a wide range of beverages, including clear and high-pH liquid systems, without causing sedimentation.
Best Formulations (City of Industry, CA) has expanded several times since chemist Charlie Ung founded the company in 1984. First came a 50,000-sq-ft manufacturing complex in 1998. Then, in November, the company opened a new 75,000-sq-ft facility that more than quadruples the company’s softgel production capacity from 400 million softgels per year to 2.5 billion.
The new facility now boasts 10 softgel lines. “We have a strong and talented technical team that has allowed our softgel sales to grow tremendously,” says Robin Koon, vice president of sales and marketing at Best Formulations. “This new facility will help us cater to our customers’ needs as the appetite for softgels has been increasing in the marketplace, and ensure that we can provide the highest-quality products at competitive prices.”
On December 15, 2004, federal marshals accompanied a Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Rockville, MD) investigator to a facility used by a supplement manufacturer. There, they seized bulk and blended ginseng supplements on the grounds that the material contained residues of two pesticides, procymidone and quintozene. The agency also issued a nationwide consumer warning about the products.
Pesticides are a major sourcing issue for ginseng. Farmers use pesticides to protect ginseng from rot. FDA, however, has not established tolerance levels for procymidone or quintozene. Manufacturers using contaminated materials risk a most unpleasant visit from FDA.
One solution is GinsenPure quintozene-free ginseng from Blue California (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA). The highly purified extract can help manufacturers conform to FDA’s zero-tolerance policy for quintozene.
“There is an increasing need in our industry for pure ingredients that will meet the most stringent quality requirements domestically, as well as in the Japanese and European markets,” says Cecilia McCollum, vice president of sales and marketing.
Family Pak ODT
Locating reliable child-resistant, senior-friendly (CR-SF) packaging is a major concern for many supplement manufacturers, particularly those that produce items containing iron or other nutrients that can cause an accidental overdose. CR-SF options exist for many products, but some supplements pose special challenges for packaging designers.
In July, TestPak (Whippany, NJ) expanded its Family Pak line of CR-SF products to include a new packaging system designed for orally disintegrating tablets. Family Pak ODT, which uses a carded blister with dual peeling tabs, enables manufacturers to safely package fragile tablets that could break if packaged in standard, push-through foil blisters.
According to Bill Eveleth, vice president of sales and marketing at TestPak, the company designed the Family Pak ODT to be used with a range of unlaminated and paper-laminated foil structures. TestPak can also configure the packaging to comply with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Bethesda, MD) regulations. “It offers an excellent balance of child protection and accessibility, while still protecting the physical integrity of the product,” Eveleth says.
Marketers and manufacturers are always looking for new ways to present their products. When it came time to develop a new family of containers for large quantities of foods and supplements, Alpha Packaging (St. Louis), a leader in packaging material design, thought big. The result was its Get-A-Grip series of canisters, which feature a built-in handle for easy transport.
Alpha Packaging came up with the designs to satisfy a request from one of its clients, Bear Creek Country Kitchens (Heber, UT), which wanted a new container for its popular line of soup mixes. Bear Creek previously packaged its soups in metal cans.
Alpha’s in-house design team created a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) canister that comes in three different sizes: 2000, 2500, and 3000 ml. The dust-free canisters, which are available in six styles, have built-in gripper panels for easier handling, and wide mouths to facilitate pouring. Aside from being stackable and easy to carry, the canisters also provide extra barrier resistance to oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Nutritional Outlook isn’t the only observer that noticed the new containers. Alpha Packaging’s Get-A-Grip canisters have already won a bronze Package of the Year award from the National Association of Container Distributors (Naperville, IL) earlier this year.
RESEARCH AND TESTING
Raftilose Synergy 1
The battle against osteoporosis has come down to bone strength. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH; Bethesda, MD), 10 million Americans already have osteoporosis, and an additional 34 million suffer from low bone mass. The disease costs close to $14 billion annually. The front-line defense against osteoporosis is calcium. Unfortunately, the people who need calcium the most don’t consume enough. Saralyn Mark, MD, senior medical advisor for NIH’s Office of Women’s Health, says that only about 10% of young girls get the calcium they need each day. Recently, Orafti (Malvern, PA) completed a year-long intervention study designed to determine whether prebiotics can increase calcium retention within bones. The results were promising.
According to Anne Franck, vice president of science and technology at Orafti, researchers found that supplementing the diet with Raftilose Synergy 1, Orafti’s blend of oligofructose and inulin, helped increase calcium retention and accretion in bones by 15%. “Until now, only short-term studies had been carried out on the effects that Raftilose Synergy 1 has on calcium absorption and retention in humans,” Franck says. “If effects are not long term, they have little clinical benefit.”
The study used a randomized sample of 100 male and female volunteers aged 9–13. Half consumed 8 g of Raftilose Synergy 1 with breakfast each day for a year, and half took a placebo. The researchers measured calcium absorption and retention along with bone mineral content and density before the study began. The tests were then repeated after two months, and again at the end of the study.
Raftilose’s selective fermentation process appeared to be the force behind the improved calcium absorption. The short oligofructose fraction thoroughly changed the flora in the proximal part of the colon, and the more slowly fermented inulin functioned as a selective fuel for the modified flora. This selective fermentation pattern then produced short-chain fatty acids that decreased the colon’s pH environment. The result: improved calcium solubility and enhanced absorption.
Hi-Maize 5-in-1 Fiber
Resistant starch is an extremely well-researched ingredient that is making inroads as a natural source of dietary fiber. Technically defined as the “sum of starch and products of starch degradation not absorbed in the small intestine of healthy individuals,” resistant starch is indigestible by the human body and rarely alters the taste, texture, or appearance of food. Moreover, recent studies have shown that resistant starch may have beneficial effects on gut health, blood sugar management, and weight control.
Hi-Maize 5-in-1 Fiber, a high-amylose resistant starch from National Starch Food Innovation (Bridgewater, NJ), is now supported by more than 120 studies, including 45 human clinical trials. Earlier this year, National Starch Food Innovation released a monograph of published studies on high-amylose resistant starch that can be used to support meaningful label claims on foods. The company also supplies Novelose resistant starch.
“This monograph offers nutritionists, food scientists, marketers, and anyone involved in health and nutrition with critical information on the health benefits and the substantiation for labeling claims delivered by Hi-Maize 5-in-1 Fiber and Novelose resistant starch.”
According to the company, three published human clinical trials have shown that Hi-Maize has beneficial effects on weight management and metabolism, and seven published studies have shown beneficial effects on glucose and insulin response. In addition, 13 published studies have found that resistant starch has a positive impact on colon health. One of the most recent studies, published in the September issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, shows that consumption of 30 g of Hi-Maize per day increases insulin sensitivity in healthy adults.
Aside from its health benefits, Hi-Maize also offers some functional advantages to food manufacturers. For instance, resistant starch can improve the texture of baked goods by adding crunchiness and extending shelf life. The ingredient can also maintain an al dente texture in pasta and increase crispiness in crackers and other baked snacks.
Nutrition 21 (Purchase, NY) wins special honors this year for convincing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Rockville, MD) to grant a qualified health claim for its Chromax chromium picolinate ingredient. The health claim recognizes chromium picolinate as a safe ingredient that may help reduce the risk of insulin resistance and, by extension, type 2 diabetes.
The health claim text reads: “One small study suggests that chromium picolinate may reduce the risk of insulin resistance, and therefore possibly may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. FDA concludes, however, that the existence of such a relationship between chromium picolinate and either insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes is highly uncertain.”
FDA based the qualified health claim on a study that was conducted by William Cefalu, MD, chief of the division of nutrition and chronic diseases at the Pennington BioMedical Research Center (Baton Rouge, LA) at Louisiana State University. “Emerging research suggests that 200–1000 µg of chromium as chromium picolinate may play an important role in carbohydrate metabolism,” Cefalu says.
According to Gail Montgomery, president and CEO of Nutrition 21, the company expects several additional peer-reviewed studies to be published in the near future. The new studies may bolster stronger claims in the future. “FDA’s initial response, while a starting point, is an important milestone in our company’s effort to communicate the health benefits of our products,” Montgomery says. “The FDA ruling confirms our strategic investments in clinical research to differentiate Chromax and Diachrome from other chromium supplements. This qualified health claim should help health professionals and millions of consumers make better-informed choices about reducing the risk of insulin resistance with chromium picolinate supplementation, and possibly reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes.”
Hoodia gordonii rose from relative obscurity after 60 Minutes correspondent Leslie Stahl ate a piece of the rare South African succulent and reported that she “wasn’t hungry all day.”But as more Hoodia supplements began to appear, questions were raised about the purity and authenticity of the Hoodia inside the packages. Recently, Stephen Holt, author of The Supreme Properties of Hoodia Gordonii, decided to settle the issue by engaging Stella Labs (Paramus, NJ) to define Hoodia purity standards.
“Stella Labs and Holt MD Labs are actively researching reported differences in Hoodia testing between laboratories and have already submitted replicate samples to different testing laboratories that dispute each others’ chemical methodology,” Holt says.
Stella Labs will identify a validated reference standard, apply a proven test methodology, and report measurable quantitative results.
As part of the protocol, Stella Labs contracted three independent labs to corroborate the bioactive molecule findings first reported by IBC Labs’ (Tucson, AZ) testing of Stella Labs bulk South African Hoodia gordonii material. All of the labs contracted by Stella Labs will apply the same documented test methodology and provide specific quantitative results.
Meanwhile, Craig Payton, managing director of Stella Labs, cautions that reports of Hoodia mixed with cellulose, sawdust, senna leaves, and Nopal cactus present a major challenge to supplement manufacturers. “There are inferior brands of Hoodia on the market today, but there is a solid group of committed scientists that wish to provide purity, quality, and biological activity in Hoodia material grown and manufactured under strict quality control regulations in South Africa,” he says.
Deborah Vickery, marketing director for Stella Labs, adds that the greatest challenge in marketing Hoodia has been the consumer chaos created by those selling fake, adulterated, and inferior Hoodia into the market. “Retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers share the responsibility and obligation to provide their customers with authentic bioactive Hoodia that is found to be efficacious,” she says.
As test standards are developed, other sources have cautioned against using Hoodia products. The UC Berkeley Wellness Letter pointed out that “Hoodia is now grown from China to Texas, and no one knows if plants outside the Kalahari region have the same effect in the body.” And Andrew Weil, MD, explained on his Web site that until the science is in, consumers should not “waste money on products that haven’t been proven to work and may not contain any Hoodia at all.”
Lastly, Geni Herbs (Noblesville, IN) deserves a special note of recognition for the research behind its standardized pomegranate extract, PomElla. Although pomegranate extract is rapidly becoming one of the most popular supplement ingredients, more clinical research on the beneficial compounds in pomegranate fruit is needed. To learn more about how pomegranate extracts work in the human body, Geni plans a series of new clinical studies on PomElla, which is standardized to contain concentrated amounts of the polyphenol punicalagin, in 2006.
One of the most recent studies on pomegranates was published in the May 2005 issue of the Journal of Nutritional Chemistry by Navindra Seeram, PhD, assistant director of UCLA’s Center for Human Nutrition (Los Angeles). In his paper, Seeram reported that pomegranate concentrate standardized to contain punicalagins displays more-potent in vitro antioxidant effects than any other single pomegranate compound. Let’s hope that this new research is just a harbinger of the good news to come in 2006.

Physically, the ECS is one of the most significant systems in the human body. It is made up of thousands of neurological receptors throughout the brain and body, all passing messages to one another in order for the body to function. The ECS is known to be responsible for a variety of motor functions, immune system functions, and nervous system functions as well. Through this intricate network of receptors, various enzymes, proteins, and other components pass signals to and from one another, thus helping us to physically adapt to changes.
Dr. Cohen has found that chronic conditions including autoimmune diseases and pain syndromes can be helped with a 6-mg under-the-tongue tincture (the fastest delivery system) or a 25-mg capsule taken twice a day. Dosages for topical products like lotions are especially hard to determine—there’s no clarity on how much CBD gets into the system through the skin.
The amount of milligrams of CBD you should take depends on your specific reason for taking CBD. If you are using CBD to treat chronic pain, you might take a much higher dose than someone who would be using CBD for general wellness reasons. Google search for your specific condition or reason for taking CBD to find the dose that is appropriate for you. You can take CBD in high qualities, so feel free to test out different dosages and see how your body reacts. A standard dose of CBD is 10 mg once a day, but this varies so widely because each individual is different so this can’t be taken as a recommendation for you.
According to the same study cited above, test results in rodents have shown that “CBD inactivates cytochrome P450 isozymes in the short term, but can induce them after repeated administration”. Therefore, CBD as a more long-term adjunct treatment may have no effect on the potency of pharmaceutical drugs and may even possess the ability to counteract some of the side effects of the prescribed medications.
CBD oil contains CBD (and often other active compounds) in a carrier oil. There are a number of forms of CBD oil, including softgel capsules, tinctures, and under-the-tongue sprays. Some forms of CBD oil can also be applied directly to the skin, in the form of products like creams and salves. The concentration of CBD varies from product to product.
Due to the influence of big pharma,the FDA has refused (until recently) to investigate the benefits of phytocannabinoid oil for humans or pets. We are not allowed to say or imply that phytocannabinoid has any medical benefits, however the 1st Amendment also protects our right to tell you about our experiences with phytocannabinoid helping our own pets, and the fact that there have been more than 1500 clinical studies regarding the effectiveness of phytocannabinoids.*The owners and staff of Innovet believe, but cannot legally claim or imply, that countless dogs and cats have used phytocannabinoid oils for many conditions.
In the study, results suggested that the CYP3A4 enzyme was inactivated in many cases by dosages of CBD. This was due to the fact that CBD and the CYP3A4 enzyme had a defensive reaction to one another, thus causing the metabolites of CBD to become less effective as well. In other words, the CYP3A4 enzyme and CBD seem to “cancel out” the benefits of one another when CBD is taken simultaneously with certain medications.
The process of extracting the oils involves applying carbon dioxide under pressure, and at shallow temperatures. Though the process is expensive, the oil produced is clean. It also tastes better, meaning that it contains no chlorophyll. Canolane Organic Hemp Oil Drops 5000mg manages anxiety and pain perfectly. It also acts as a sleep supplement and a natural relaxant. What’s impressive is the fact that you don’t have to worry about your mind being affected. Canolane Organic Hemp Oil Drops 5000mg gets made from non-psychoactive compounds found in the hemp plant and contains non-mind-altering effects.
Just like the Hemp Oil Drops (1000mg), it gets made from pure natural ingredients. As an omega supplement that relieves inflammation and chronic pain naturally, Hemp Master Drops Oil 1000mg also enhances better sleeping patterns and reduces stress and anxiety.

Anytime a new weight loss product comes on the market, the search begins to see if it is real or if it is a scam. If you’re wondering if there is a Nuvoryn scam you aren’t the only one, and for good reason. In recent years, there have been many nutritional supplements that were supposed to help people lose weight. In most of those cases, the supplements have been scams that made their creators rich but did not really help anyone or even harmed people. So it is understandable that you would want to know if there is a Nuvoryn scam before you try it. There are a few ways you can find out if there is a Nuvoryn scam.
One of the first things you can do is talk about the possibility of a Nuvoryn scam with your friends and family. They may have heard of it or they may not but you may be surprised at who has tried it. If someone you know has tried it, they can tell you if they think there is a Nuvoryn scam. If no one you know has tried this natural supplement to help with weight loss then you could try asking a few trusted co-workers if they know if there is a Nuvoryn scam. Not everyone is going to want to go this route though and for understandable reasons.
Your doctor is another good way to investigate a possible Nuvoryn scam. Many doctors know about the supplement and some recommend the nutritional supplement as part of their patients’ weight loss program. Ask your doctor his or her opinion on any possible Nuvoryn scam. Your doctor should be able to give you an opinion but some doctors are not open to the possibility of a useful natural supplement. Others may not have heard about the supplement yet. So unless you fully trust your doctor’s judgment, do not rely on their opinion about any Nuvoryn scam alone.
Online, you will find forums and other sites that will give you information about any Nuvoryn scam. Many people will go to every site they can find to tell people if they think there is a Nuvoryn scam. Keep in mind that those who are not satisfied with something are more likely to say it is a Nuvoryn scam and are usually more likely to talk about it than those for whom it worked successfully.

Online Training is a relatively new – and quickly growing – phenomenon in the health and fitness industry. More and more people have experienced its benefits first hand, but many people still wonder how, exactly, it works.
The COVID-19 pandemic skyrocketed the popularity of online fitness training for two main reasons: gyms closed and personal trainers needed a way to continue working, and people all over the world needed effective workout options they could do from home.
In October 2016, I transitioned to an online coaching business, working exclusively with my in-person clients. As many of my clients were switching to online coaching, they asked a lot of questions like, “What is online coaching, exactly?”, “How does online training work?”, and “What’s in it for me?” I aim to answer all these questions for you here.
I’ve worked with clients in person since 2008 (13+ years), and online since 2016 (5+ years).
What, exactly, is online coaching?
Online coaching is the most flexible, cost-effective, way to reach your fitness goals. If you want to work out where and when it’s convenient for you – instead of relying on someone else’s location and availability – at the fraction of the cost of in-person fitness training, online coaching could be for you. You can get fit even if your schedule is crazy and your budget is tight. Pretty sweet, right?
“Online training is a new and exciting way for me to offer my clients what they need, when they need it, without the limitations and expenses of the gym so that I can offer a better, and more cost effective, service than an in-person trainer.”
Every coach runs their online programs a bit differently, but every one of us is providing our clients with fitness and nutrition guidance, detailed workout plans tailored to their specific goals, and ongoing support.
It can be as simple as e-mail-based coaching, or as in-depth as video coaching sessions coupled with a specialized app you use to access workouts, track progress, and report to your coach.
So, what do I get with online coaching?
My programs are just one example of how online training can work. The basic structure of my programs could apply to any type of online coaching. I’ll describe them here so you can get a sense of what to expect. With my coaching programs, you get customized workouts created specifically for you and your goals. Every client is different, so in 5 years of working with clients online, I’ve never given 2 clients the same workout program. I work with whatever each client prefers and has available, including their own homes, outdoors, or local fitness facilities.
You also get nutrition coaching where you’ll make changes one small – but powerful – habit at a time. I make sure that your nutrition supports your fitness and physique goals, including pre- and post-workout nutrition and any food-related lifestyle habits a client needs to work on.
I don’t give clients prescribed meal plans for the simple reason that they don’t work. A diet plan is not empowering; it takes you away from your own decision-making process – which you need for long-term success. Not to mention, fitness coaches are not within their scope of practice to provide meal plans, even though many do so anyway. Only registered dieticians are legally qualified to create specific meal plans for their clients. Instead of restrictive meal plans, I empower you to take charge of your own nutrition in a way that works for you – and get results in the process.
With online coaching, you also get personal support from me throughout each week. The level of communication ranges from e-mail and in-app text messaging to unlimited voice messaging, texting, and video exercise form analysis.
So, you’re basically getting friendly virtual access to world-class individual coaching and support, plus all the know-how you need to nail your fitness goals – whatever they may be.
The nuts ‘n’ bolts of JayC’s Online Training
I’m not much of a “tech-y” person (and neither are many of my clients), so I aim to keep things as simple as possible while still delivering mind-blowing results. I use one complete app in my online coaching: fitness workouts, nutrition, and communication.
Online fitness coaching involves ongoing and continuous support, not just scheduled sessions. If a client needs help, they can reach out at any time. I see details of every single workout my clients complete (and every one they miss!), and every single meal they eat.
For my fitness coaching, I use a premium exclusive fitness app. My clients receive workouts, log them as they get done, and track their progress. I get automatic notifications whenever a client completes a workout (how’s that for accountability?!) and I can easily keep tabs on everyone’s progress. I also receive notifications when clients miss scheduled workouts! Clients also have the option of saving – or printing out – their workouts as PDFs if they like.
I use MyFitnessPal (optional with which most people are already familiar) for nutrition coaching. My clients log their food and I can automatically see their entries without them having to send me anything. Keeps things nice ‘n’ simple. During the week I keep tabs on each client’s daily food logs. Food logging in an app isn’t for everyone. Most of my clients (like those with histories of disordered eating patterns, for example) choose to track their meals in other ways, like posting photos of everything they eat inside my fitness app.
For my most fitness coaching program, clients get e-mail and text messages (within the Fitness app) WhatsApp, Viber, or Telegram support for questions they may have, progress check-ins, etc. My clients can also use either my fitness app or any Chat app to send video clips of their exercises so I can check their forms.
It may sound like a lot of techs, but it’s really not a huge time investment. After a short initial learning curve, my clients spend most of their time focused on their workouts, and overall nutrition, not spending hours glued to their phones or computer screens.
It takes 2 minutes after a workout to enter weights used and reps performed, and 5 minutes to create a food log for the day (less if you eat similar foods every day.) That’s a pretty good investment of 7 minutes, if you ask me, especially because your coach can see all your info immediately.
Who can benefit from online coaching?
A huge variety of people can benefit from online fitness and nutrition training. I’m one of those people myself! (I think it’s important that all coaches have their own coaches.) You may be an especially good candidate for online coaching if one or more of the following describes you:
You’re looking for a coach with specific expertise or within a specific niche
Great coaches often have very specific types of clients they’re best suited to working with, given their qualifications and experience. As a client, you can seek out a coach who precisely suits your needs, even if they live in a different city – or on the other side of the planet.
I work exclusively with both men & women who want to lose weight and get strong. If you’re looking for a “quick fix” 90-day challenge, I’m not your coach. If you’re looking to compete in a physique competition, I’ll refer you to someone else. But if you’re looking to make health & fitness a priority in your life let’s talk!
With online coaching, you can work with a professional coach who suits your needs from anywhere in the world!
You live in a remote location
People who otherwise wouldn’t have access to personal training can now have a coach! For example, one of my clients lives in the middle of Outback Australia, This is not someone who’d normally have access to an in-person trainer, but she now gets customized workouts, progress tracking, exercise form checks, nutrition coaching, to take her fitness to the next level.
You have a very full schedule
Scheduling is a non-issue with online coaching. Instead of being stuck with someone else’s schedule (i.e. a trainer at a gym), you work out when and where you want, but still, get the benefit of a structured program and ongoing support from a coach.
We can also be much more flexible with your workout programs than a typical 60-minute gym session. Due to demanding work schedules, for example, many of my clients split their workouts into five 20-minute sessions per week. Others will do cardio in the morning and weight lifting in the evening. Still, others will do most of their workouts for 45 minutes at the gym, but also have backup 15-minute home “quickies” on hand for days they’re extra busy.
Sometimes a bit of experimentation is necessary (e.g. switching evening workouts to morning workouts to ensure they get done), but I create workouts to accommodate your schedule – no matter how full it might be.
My online client Larissa says:
“One of the main benefits of online coaching for me was the fact that I could work out in my neighborhood at a time that worked well with my schedule. I also really liked being able to have accountability for every workout that I did, by inputting the weight and reps that I did for each exercise and sharing that with Coach JayC through the fitness app. It was so easy and helpful!”
You travel a lot
Maintaining and improving your fitness can be challenging if you travel a lot. Having a plan of action and the support of a coach can certainly help! One of my clients travels so much that she gets a new set of 3 travel workouts every month (in addition to home and gym workouts).
I create challenging (and quick) bodyweight workouts for clients who won’t have access to any equipment while traveling. One of my clients is traveling for work this week and wasn’t sure what equipment her hotel’s gym would have. I got her to send me a quick video clip of the gym when she arrived, and I then put together a workout she could do during her stay there.
You want to work out at home
You don’t need to go to a gym if you don’t want to! Many of my clients train in their own homes for various reasons, like taking care of young children, living in remote locations with no gyms available, or just simple convenience.
You can skyrocket your fitness with the right set of bodyweight moves coupled with a few simple (and inexpensive) pieces of equipment. My clients’ home gyms range from a $20/3,000.php set of resistance bands or dumbbells to a full garage gym with a squat rack and bench press.
You’re on a budget
Online coaching is cost-effective. You’re not paying a coach a high hourly rate (plus club overhead), so you can get better training at a fraction of the price. Rather than booking hour-long sessions at the gym each week, online coaches can provide ongoing (and better!) support as you work toward your goals.
What type of client might not do well with online coaching?
If you’re the type of person who needs an appointment with a trainer at a gym in order to work out, online coaching might not work for you. You’re gonna need some level of self-motivation and self-discipline to get the most out of online coaching. You get structure, direction, support, and accountability of course, but it’s still up to you to get done what you’ve set out to do.
Online coaching is a great way of empowering yourself to take ownership of your own fitness and build bulletproof health habits. It could be what you need to level up your fitness!
