OxyNutrients provides a dynamic complex of factors that are involved with energy production in the mitochondria of the cells. The nutrients in this formula variously support carbohydrate metabolism, nerve cell function, oxygen sparing, and donation of methyl groups crucial for liver detoxification and the synthesis of energy.* Aerobic cellular metabolism is the ultimate bodily source of energy for most activity.*

Mitochondria are the "cellular furnaces" in every cell of the body where fuel from food is burned to produce energy. Many of the components of OxyNutrients are involved in mitochondrial electron transport function and oxygen utilization for the generation of energy, as well as enhancement of oxygen release from the blood, which may increase cellular efficiency.*

OxyNutrients provides the fat-soluble thiamin tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide, which maintains high blood thiamin levels for longer than the usual water-soluble forms.* Thiamin (Vitamin B1) is essential for the brain and nerves, and for carbohydrate metabolism.* It supports muscle strength, energy, healthy appetite, and healthy brain function and mood.*

Magnesium is an important mineral in the production of energy.* The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that 75% of Americans do not get adequate magnesium from their diet. Magnesium is part of hundreds of enzyme reactions in the body, and is essential for metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contractions, healthy bones and teeth, detoxification and energy production.*

Malic acid is a key intermediate in the Krebs cycle, the biochemical mechanism which produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s basic energy molecule. Malic acid is another key nutrient needed for bodily energy.*

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) plays an essential role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), the major metabolic pathway for making energy in every cell of the body. CoQ10 functions as an electron carrier in the ETC, linking the various enzymes of the chain. The ETC completes the process that starts with glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, releasing the energy locked in the original glucose molecule and producing ATP. Every pair of electrons processed by the chain must first interact with CoQ10, making the production of ATP dependent on sufficient levels of CoQ10 in the mitochondrial membrane. Supplemental CoQ10 has been used for many decades throughout Europe, Asia, and the United States to support cellular energy, antioxidant function and cardiovascular health.*

Carnitine’s major role is to link up with fatty acids and transport them into the mitochondria. It is thought to work synergistically with CoQ10, enhancing cellular energy production.* It supports fatty acid and glucose metabolism, potentially supporting neurological function, neuromuscular function and exercise tolerance.*

Trimethylglycine contributes methyl groups, vital for the synthesis of energy compounds and for liver detoxification.* Methyl groups are required for the production of creatine, a critical energy-storage compound in muscle.

Ferulic Acid is an antioxidant phenolic compound found in many herbs, and has been studied for antioxidant, anti-stress and other adaptogenic activities.* Inosine is a biomolecule that appears to enhance oxygen release from hemoglobin, thereby sparking metabolism with an important factor for cellular efficiency.* Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble form of the important antioxidant nutrient vitamin C.

Pure Organic Germanium (bis-carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide) has unique molecular characteristics which make it the only known safe form of germanium.* Potentially, the body may use organic germanium as a cellular oxygenator.*

Nutricology - The Company

NutriCology, Inc., established in 1979, is an innovative leader in the research and formulation of nutritional supplements and is one of the very first allergy-oriented hypoallergenic nutritional supplement companies. The company is recognized worldwide for the quality, purity and efficacy of its targeted nutritional supplement line, consisting of more than 200 products. Over 4,000 physicians and healthcare practitioners worldwide currently purchase NutriCology's products and recommend these supplements to their patients.

Stephen Levine, Ph.D., founder of NutriCology, Inc., graduated Cum Laude from the State University College in Buffalo, NY and obtained his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Levine was a Horace and Edith King Davis Memorial Fellow, the recipient of an NIH Training Grant, and a Predoctoral Fellow (1972-1976). Dr. Levine is internationally recognized as one of the foremost innovative leaders and researchers in nutritional supplement formulation. He lectures internationally and holds editorial positions in several professionally sought after publications. Dr. Levine is also known worldwide as an author of the book "Antioxidant Adaptation: Its Role in Free Radical Pathology," which he co-authored with Dr. Parris Kidd in 1985. Their book is considered a leading resource on this subject.

Dr. Levine also leads NutriCology's research and development. He is recognized internationally for his mission of creating state-of-the-art supplements especially designed for allergic individuals. For almost 30 years, Dr. Levine has dedicated himself to the latest research and the passionate pursuit of cutting-edge nutritional supplements. Dr. Levine was one of the first to introduce truly hypoallergenic products to the market, and developed the very first Buffered Vitamin C product. Dr. Levine's antioxidant research is legendary in that it created a unique, broad spectrum integration of the available data with a very expanded perspective, which remains one of the most sophisticated antioxidant presentations even today. Over the past three decades, Dr. Levine has collaborated with the medical community. When asked about his work thus far, he states, "It has been my greatest pleasure working with progressive physicians to develop nutraceutical products which reduce suffering and improve the health oftheir patients."

Hypoallergenic Defined

According to Taber’s Medical Dictionary, “hypoallergenic” is defined as: “Diminished potential for causing an allergic reaction”. We define hypoallergenic as “free of all common allergens,” specifically: wheat, corn, soy, gluten, yeast, dairy, and eggs. Many very sensitive individuals who react to supplements in general are able to tolerate NutriCology products.

Since our inception in 1979 we have been using only the purest, and whenever possible, the lowest allergy potential natural ingredients. While many of the nutrients in our formulas are synthesized from natural substances (plant sources), which as a whole may contain antigens, the synthesizing process removes the molecules of the desired nutrient from the original substance, and in the processing, a great percentage of the antigens and allergens are left behind. The final material then has extremely low allergy potential.

This is not to say that no one will react to any of our hypoallergenic formulas, as some extremely sensitive people may. However, the potential for an allergic reaction is low, and the feedback from many of our extremely allergic and sensitive customers is that NutriCology supplements are often the only products they are able to tolerate.

New Allergen Labeling Regulations
As a result of the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004, effective January 1, 2006, the FDA requires manufacturers to identify the presence of eight major food allergens on all product labels.

The term “major food allergen” means any of the following:
• milk
• egg
• fish
• crustacean shellfish
• tree nuts
• peanuts
• wheat
• soybeans
• any ingredient derived from the above listed foods

It is important to understand that while an ingredient may have been derived from a common allergen, we are required by law to list that allergen on the label as a source of the ingredient, even if it does not contain any of the actual substance. For example, 100%-pure glucosamine sulfate does not contain any actual shellfish, but we are required to indicate the source material (shrimp, crab, lobster) on the label.

Full Disclosure Labeling
Nutricology fully discloses all ingredients, both active and inactive on every product label, so you can make fully informed choices.

Vegetarian Capsules
Nutricology is currently in the process of converting most of our existing products to vegetarian capsules, and all new products are being made with vegetarian capsules.

Labling And Inactive Ingredients

NutriCology fully discloses all ingredients, both active and inactive, on every product label, so you can make fully informed choices for your patients.

Furthermore, the following is a list of inactive ingredients used in some of our products. These may be called fillers and/or excipients as defined by the Food Chemical Codex. These are nutrient compounds which are utilized for their physical properties to aid in the supplement production process. They are derived from edible sources and are generally free of common allergens. To determine which natural additives are included in a specific product, please refer to the supplement facts panel.

Cellulose Powder is derived from fibrous plant material, is insoluble in water and is used as a filler. In addition to being used as a filler, cellulose powder is sold as an individual supplement as a pure insoluble fiber, and is extremely well tolerated.

Silicon Dioxide, or silica, is one of the most common chemical compounds. Silica plays an important role in biological processes. Most rocks and minerals are made of silicon dioxide and other minerals. Silica is insoluble in water and is used for its drying properties.

Stearic Acid is an 18 carbon, naturally occurring saturated fatty acid. It is a component of membrane structure and is utilized for its lubricating properties.

Magnesium Stearate contains stearic acid and magnesium palmitate, which is magnesium salt of a 16 carbon saturated fatty acid, also common in membrane structure. It is also utilized for its lubricating properties.

Dicalcium phosphate (calcium phosphate, dibasic) is a white, odorless, tasteless powder that is stable in air. It is practically insoluble in water, but is readily soluble in hydrochloric acid.

L-leucine is an essential branched-chain amino acid, found in almost all animal and vegetable proteins. As an excipient in our formulas, pharmaceutical grade L-leucine is presented in minute amounts and is used as a lubricant.

Superior Quality Control

Since 1979, NutriCology has used only the purest raw materials available, and has implemented strict quality control procedures in every stage of production, including inspection of raw materials, manufacturing, packaging, and storing. For many years we have used the same manufacturers to produce our capsules and tablets to ensure consistency. In our facility in Alameda, California we bottle, label, and ship our finished products. NutriCology is currently licensed by the California Department of Health Services, Food and Drug Branch. Our registration number is 0021150.

Independent Third Party Laboratories
In addition to our in-house quality control department, we use independent analytical laboratories to test raw materials as well as our finished products. They are assayed for identity, purity and potency. Our products are confirmed to contain no less than 100% of the contents listed on every label. Microbial and heavy metals analyses are also conducted on all applicable products.
