Turkey:  Through our partner in Gemini Health Care Products, in Istanbul, Turkey, we have learned that the country's four national soccer teams are happily taking PowerVites.  We wish them good luck in all their games.   June 2001

Olympics in Atlanta (July 19 to August 4, 1996): Dr. Jay Chernor, of First Chiropractic in Minneapolis, contacted us. He was selected by Cleveland Chiropractic College to be one of the 15 Doctors of Chiropractic treating the athletes. He is on the medical team for Russia, Ukraine, Georgia (former Soviet Republic) and Panama. Some of the worlds finest athletes at the Olympic Games are taking our vitamin products.

DIABETIKS nutritional supplement was introduced at the NNFA's annual convention in Nashville, Tennessee on July 10th 1996. We are awaiting feedback. Back here in NJ we are seeing a lot of interest from pharmacists. We see this as an exceptional product for which these is a current need.

PowerVites and PowerMate Publicity: the following article was included in the Metro Publishing Group's HealthBest theme section distributed to 7,000 local newspapers across the country in June. Newspapers pick up these stories which are provided in a format they can readily use. We are promoting the Acidophilus base for more effective nutrient absorption.

Acidophilus -Not a Greek City but Good Bacteria

If you were an Eskimo you might eat blubber. If you lived in Hawaii you might eat pineapple. How does the body transform such vastly different foods into a common denominator. Acidophilus is part of the answer. Found naturally in yogurt, Acidophilus works to improve the microbial balance in the intestines so your food can be broken down to that common denominator and absorbed -not just passed along.

A plant gets its nourishment from the soil through its roots. If the soil is rich in nutrients the plant grows strong and healthy. Now think of your intestines as an inside root system. The Acidophilus is constantly working turning foods into top soil.

One company buying into this theory is The Green Turtle Bay Vitamin Co., Inc. Of Summit, NJ. They make multivitamin PowerVites and herbal antioxidant PowerMate with an acidophilus base.

People are always calling to say how much better they feel since taking these products. The products do include nutrients not generally found in multivitamin products such as odorless garlic, shark cartilage and green tea extracts, but the reason may be the nutrients blending with Acidophilus. PowerVites and PowerMate are distributed through pharmacies and health food stores. For more information call 800-887-8535.

University studies show Acidophilus enhances production of B vitamins, natural antibiotics and enzymes, helps with dermatological problems and cholesterol metabolism. Acidophilus may even reduce yeast infection through enhancement of the immune system.

We have received calls generated by this article from California, Oklahoma, Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota, and Massachusetts.

Radio Advertising: Consumer activist Patricia McCann's in depth analysis resulted in a "dynamite" commercial "Get Serious about the Vitamins You Take". It took a long time. Ms McCann personally uses the products in order to give her endorsement. She further researched the product by interviewing the manufacturing chemist, retail outlets and physicians familiar with the products. The commercial is airing on WCBS radio in New York City.
