Supplements
OPTIMAL NUTRITION & SUPPLEMENTATION A Single Focus Here’s the difference: De-conditioned, inactive people interested only in growing
hair, skin and nails probably meet their “low metabolism” needs through food alone. Or, at best, might consider
an inexpensive daily multi-vitamin. However, research has proven that as you become more physically active you will have
much higher metabolic requirements. The amount and quality of your caloric intake, in conjunction with
vitamin supplementation, is of utmost importance.
Imagine
you’re invited to drive up to a mountain lakeside cabin to spend the weekend. But then, a few days
later you are asked to tow a boat up the mountain for everybody to use. You say “yes.”
But now, you start to think about the condition of your car. Do you have enough air in your tires?
When did you last change your antifreeze? What about the oil and transmission fluid? How much gas will
your car burn and should you use a higher octane? These are valid thoughts because you are about to add
physical stress to your vehicle. The same holds true when you begin an exercise program. You increase physical stress
on your body. And, when you increase physical stress on your body, fueling it (through proper nutrition)
becomes a major consideration Supplements accomplish two things: First, they help in the digestion
and utilization of foods, thus creating “higher octane fuel” for your body. Second, they ensure
that all nutritional gaps are filled allowing your body to efficiently and effectively burn fat, build lean muscle tissue and fully adapt to increased physical stress. OUR ROOTS In today’s world of constant change in technology and biology — new is not always best. Master Formulator John E. Logsdon (1924-1998) was the master formulator of this product line. Even after his passing,
Logsdon’s research, science and experimentation is recognized, today, as some of the most relevant, innovative and highly
regarded works in the fields of biochemistry and sports nutrition. During the 1960’s, while mainstream medical experts,
nutritionists and other life science professionals were developing “nutritional standards” for the general public,
Logsdon was researching the nutritional needs for athletes and active lifestyle enthusiasts. He
quickly discovered their metabolic requirements were quite different. Spearheading a 15-year project, he
learned how, why and which various blends of nutrients were crucial to the pursuit of athletic performance, muscle gain, muscle
recovery, efficient fat-loss and stamina. And, how various vitamins, minerals and other nutrients worked
synergistically with foods in combination with increased physical stress and raised metabolism. In short,
Logsdon not only proved the deficiencies of the typical RDA’s (recommended daily allowances) but demonstrated the absolute
necessity for “optimal nutrition” protocols when dealing with athletes and active lifestyle enthusiasts. Finally, in the early 1970’s,
based on this research, Logsdon began to formulate a complete, synergistic line of nutritional products specifically designed
for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. His formulations were, and are to this day, extraordinary.
All Natural Ingredients First and foremost, these optimal nutrition formulas
are all natural. This is important. There is substantial scientific evidence that vitamins
derived from natural sources are more readily absorbed and assimilated by the human body — whereas vitamins derived
from inorganic chemicals are usually combined with undesirable substances such as sugar, inorganic binders, preservatives
and coal tars. Second, each formula consists of “source-specific”
raw ingredients from around the world. For example, Korean ginseng root is quite different than Siberian
or Chinese ginseng. Again, the level of detail in the development of these formulations is significant.
Finally, each product requires its own set of manufacturing protocols including precision measurements, exacting temperature-controlled
manufacturing processes and constant testing and analysis. These proprietary formulas represent much of Logsdon’s
life work. As such, each product has been registered, patented and trademarked. Of note: ·All daily multi-vitamin/mineral formulas contain Pancreatine 5X – one of the
highest quality and most expensive digestive enzyme complexes available · All multi-vitamin/mineral formulas contain a full complement of amino acids · You’ll also find an abundance of herbs and herbal complexes incorporated into the formulas to
help enhance absorption and utilization of food in conjunction with the products · All products are manufactured in temperature-controlled environments to ensure efficacy and bioavailability
of natural ingredients · All tablets use natural ingredients instead of varnishes
or other harsh chemicals that serve as binding agents to hold it together or to make the product smell more acceptable SUPPLEMENTS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL Natural Vs. Synthetic - High Quality
Vs. High Volume The confusing world of supplements There are two types of nutritional supplement manufacturers
— high-volume vs. high-quality. The most common (high-volume) is the “general consumer”
or retail manufacturer. Here, the emphasis is on mass production, mass marketing, volume sales and profitability.
These manufacturers use inferior, synthetic versions of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in combination with
high-volume heat producing processes that often result in products with almost no bio-availability whatsoever.
(Some of these products actually pass through your entire digestive tract without breaking-down). However,
upon reading a label you could easily make a mistake about the quality of these products. After all, a
multi-vitamin is a multi-vitamin, right? Wrong. But, it’s more than just the ingredients.
The manufacturing process is equally important. Here’s an example: If you compare the list of ingredients
on a box of Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines brownies you’ll find they are almost exactly the same. However,
bake one at 500 degrees for two hours and the other at 350 for 40 minutes… you end up
with two very different brownies. You get the idea. Super– Premium Supplements There
are only a few high-quality manufacturers. The increasing costs of quality, all natural ingredients,
potent complex formulations and strict manufacturing protocols make these products nearly cost-prohibitive.
Fortunately, most fitness professionals understand the differences and are willing to pay the higher costs associated
with higher quality products. Hence the term “super-premium” is not just marketing hype.
It’s an accurate description of what you can expect in terms of quality and cost. The commitment
continues Today, this unique, patented product line is overseen
and updated by noted experts including Ed Lieskovan, Pharm.D., MBA, Dir. Analytical Instrument Chemistry at OFNP, Inc.; William
Register, Ph.D., N.D. Director of Technical Services at SporTelesis. Marketing and distribution is provided
by MediCorp PNT. All research and development is conducted at OFNP and SporTelesis. “Certificates
of Analysis” are required from all suppliers. Raw materials are re-tested at the company’s
laboratories. Actual manufacturing processes are performed at several facilities in Southern California,
including Omni Pak, M&L Laboratories, Global Health Sciences, Taste Corp. Inc., and other facilities (all with California
Pharmaceutical Licenses) that manufacture under GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices) and our own strict
guidelines and manufacturing process protocols. |
