October 28, 2019

DALLAS – October 28, 2019 – Editors at Better Nutrition Magazine recently selected Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics® as a 2019 “Best of Supplements” Award Winner in the Travel-Friendly Category, making this the ninth win for the renowned supplement. A representative from Better Nutrition presented the Award during the Natural Products Expo EAST held Sept. 11-14 in Baltimore, MD.

Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics originated from a reverence for nature and is widely recognized for bestowing transformative and replenishing good health through a multi-year natural temperature fermentation process that produces a probiotic like no other on the market today.

Dr. Ross Pelton, RPh, CCN, Essential Formulas Science Director, explains the reason Dr. Ohhira’s is considered the premier probiotic supplement is the natural 3-year fermentation process that allows the beneficial bacteria to produce a multitude of “Postbiotic Metabolites.”

“Postbiotic Metabolites are the new frontier in microbiome science,” said Dr. Pelton. “Scientists are learning that postbiotic metabolites are the master health-regulating compounds in the body. They play a role in regulating every organ system, including the immune system and the brain.”

To select the winning products, the editors of Better Nutrition Magazine conducted retailer surveys, as well as tallied up readers and staffers votes. The Better Nutrition Supplement Advisory Board, consisting of naturopathic physicians, health writers, and nutrition educators, considered the quality of the nominated supplements based on ingredients, reputation, and the science behind the products. The award winners are being featured in the November 2019 issue of Better Nutrition Magazine.

REG´ACTIV Cardio Wellness™ Best of Supplements Award

DALLAS – October 19, 2018 – Better Nutrition magazine recently selected the revolutionary REG´ACTIV® Cardio Wellness™ formula as a 2018 ‘Best of Supplements’ Award Winner in the HEART HEALTH category.

To select the winning products, the editors of Better Nutrition magazine conducted retailer surveys and tallied up votes from readers and staffers. The Better Nutrition Supplement Advisory Board, consisting of naturopathic physicians, health writers, and nutrition educators, considered the nominated supplements quality of ingredients, reputation and the science behind the products. The winners will be featured in the November 2018 issue of Better Nutrition magazine.

REG´ACTIV® Cardio Wellness™, launched in 2014 REG´ACTIV formulas are superior Glutathione supplements containing a patented delivery system — a living probiotic strain, Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3 that produces Glutathione within the body.

REG´ACTIV® Cardio Wellness™ formula combines over 20 years of research into the glutathione-boosting effects of Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3 which helps to maintain healthy cholesterol levels already in the normal range, while Kaneka QH CoQ10 in its most active form, also supports healthy energy production in heart and muscle tissues.

Glutathione is the most important antioxidant manufactured in the human body, so pivotal to our health that it is considered “The Master Antioxidant.” Glutathione’s most significant function is that of detoxification, thus maintaining the body’s supply is critical for good health. However, until recently, glutathione was not effective when taken orally because it breaks down during digestion and is not absorbed.

“Since glutathione’s antioxidant activity is crucial for every cell in the body, the discovery of ME-3, a strain that can synthesize glutathione and boost levels in humans represents an extraordinary breakthrough in health and medicine,” said Essential Formulas Director of Scientific Research Dr. Ross Pelton, RPH, Ph.D., CCN.

Essential Formulas Incorporated (EFI) was established in 2000 as the sole U.S. distributor of world-renowned microbiologist Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira’s award-winning probiotic supplements and skin care products.
