    Product: Garcinia Cambogia (400 mg 60 vegetarian capsules)*
    Asked on: June 4, 2013
    Question: Hello. Is this product FDA approved ?
    • 0 0 A: Unfortunately natural supplements are not regulated like the pharmaceutical industry is. I have provided you some information from the FDA website that may be able to clarify this for you. What is FDA's role in regulating dietary supplements versus the manufacturer's responsibility for marketing them? In October 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was signed into law by President Clinton. Before this time, dietary supplements were subject to the same regulatory requirements as were other foods. This new law, which amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, created a new regulatory framework for the safety and labeling of dietary supplements.Under DSHEA, a firm is responsible for determining that the dietary supplements it manufactures or distributes are safe and that any representations or claims made about them are substantiated by adequate evidence to show that they are not false or misleading. This means that dietary supplements do not need approval from FDA before they are marketed. Except in the case of a new dietary ingredient, where pre-market review for safety data and other information is required by law, a firm does not have to provide FDA with the evidence it relies on to substantiate safety or effectiveness before or after it markets its products.Also, manufacturers need to register themselves pursuant to the Bioterrorism Act with FDA before producing or selling supplements. In June, 2007, FDA published comprehensive regulations for Current Good Manufacturing Practices for those who manufacture, package or hold dietary supplement products. These regulations focus on practices that ensure the identity, purity, quality, strength and composition of dietary supplements. http://www.fda.gov/Food/DietarySupplements/QADietarySupplements/ Genesis Today, the manufacturer travels to exotic places around the world where indigenous people receive nutritional benefits that many of us in developed countries don't.  Working alongside these cultures, they respect their traditions and harvesting techniques to retain these superfoods in their whole, natural state.  Then they prepare the products with low-to-no heat so as not to destroy the nutrients and package them in non-toxic glass bottles for your consumption.

    Product: CLA Tonalin 1000mg (90 softgels)*
    Asked on: June 4, 2013
    Question: can I drink alcohol while taking Tonalin Cla
    • 0 0 A: The manufacture does not state any information about the consumption and alcohol with this supplement. Though there are no warnings, alcohol inhibits the breakdown of nutrients into usable molecules by decreasing secretion of digestive enzymes from the pancreas (2). Alcohol impairs nutrient absorption by damaging the cells lining the stomach and intestines and disabling transport of some nutrients into the blood (3). In addition, nutritional deficiencies themselves may lead to further absorption problems. For example, folate deficiency alters the cells lining the small intestine, which in turn impairs absorption of water and nutrients including glucose, sodium, and additional folate (3). Even if nutrients are digested and absorbed, alcohol can prevent them from being fully utilized by altering their transport, storage, and excretion (4). Decreased liver stores of vitamins such as vitamin A (5), and increased excretion of nutrients such as fat, indicate impaired utilization of nutrients by alcoholics (3). http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/aa22.htm

    Product: Wow Internal Cleanse (120 Vcaps)
    Asked on: June 4, 2013
    Question: Why are you selling a supplement from a company that has been involved in adulterating their supplements with drugs. Put WOWinto the FDA's website www.fda.gov, and you will see that not only have people experienced serious adverse events, but there have been deaths associated with their products. They are full of drugs!!! Don't you test the products you sell? Outrageous. Health Canada just announced the same warnings to consumers, yet to run ads on your website and promote these dangerous drugs, masquerading as dietary supplements. Shame on you and your company!!
    • 0 0 A: I understand your concern and hopefully I can clarify this supplement for you. This product is actually a completely different product than the one shown on fda.gov. This supplement is a colon cleanser and comes from a company called Roex located in the US. The product labeled "Wow" on the FDA.gov website comes from a company by the name of Riger Naturals in Mexico and is labeled to treat conditions such as arthritis and bone cancer. I hope this information puts you at ease as we strive to carry only the highest quality supplements for our members and customers.    Vote down - Vote up

      Product: Super Saw Palmetto/Nettle Root Formula *(60)
      Asked on: June 4, 2013
      Question: I am trying to compare with CVS, Super Beta Prostate and other products. Can you give me a comparison chart?
      • 0 0 A: I can provide you a little more information on Life Extensions Super Saw Palmetto/Nettle Root Formula. The saw palmetto berry (Serenoa repens) is rich in bioactive, high-molecular weight compoundsincluding beta-sitosterol. It has been shown to interfere with DHT activity in the prostate, inhibit alpha-adrenergic receptor activity (to support normal urinary flow), and help control inflammatory actions in the prostate gland.11-13 DeepExtract™ is a patented, state-of-the-art, ultra-high pressure CO2 extraction technology that ensures the most complete bioactive extract profile available that most closely reflects the composition of premium, mature saw palmetto berries. The result is a superior formula containing key ingredients in higher concentrations than many other extracts.16 These naturally occurring substances are left behind by more widely used low-pressure CO2 extraction techniques. DeepExtract™ ensures the most desirable and complete bioactive extract profile available. The result is a formula that most closely resembles the composition of premium, mature saw palmettoberries. Super Saw Palmetto/Nettle Root Formula with Beta-Sitosterol combines the USPlus® saw palmettoCO2 DeepExtract™ with a nettle root extract (Urtica dioica), boron, and rosemary to support a healthy prostate.8-13,44,45,59-68 Testosterone converts to estrogen at higher rates as men age. Prostate cells are sensitive to estrogen's growth stimulatory effects. Nettle root helps support prostate cells against the excess estrogen levels.8 This saw palmetto extract has been standardized to contain 85% free fatty acids and sterols. The phytosterol complex contains a natural ratio of concentrated plant sterols derived from vegetable and seed oils such as soybean, rapeseed, sunflower seed, and corn. I hope this additional information helps you in making your decision.    Vote down - Vote up
