Customized supplementation through biochemical testing is a unique product in the supplement industry and we are incredibly fortunate to have this available to us through Ideal Health. However, another important part of the Ideal Health opportunity is the product that is available to you AFTER the testing is done-that�s right, your remarkable Custom Essentials.
Not only is your Custom Essentials formula individualized to your test results, but that formula is fulfilled by one of the top supplement houses in the industry-HVL. Here are some of the reasons why Ideal Health chose HVL to produce Custom Essentials:
Did you know . . .
� HVL has been supplying the highest-quality nutrients to healthcare professionals only for the last 47 years.
� No other consumer company has access to these supplements. HVL produces your Custom Essentials exclusively for Ideal Health.
� HVL has state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities on both coasts of the United States as well as in Europe. HVL voluntarily elects to comply with the United States Pharmacopoeia XXIII standards for nutritional supplements. These strict requirements insure label potency and purity.
� HVL is regularly inspected by the FDA as well as by representatives from Canada and Europe and are approved by the Canadian Health Organization and the Commission of the European Communities.
� The 70,000 square foot formulary contains three in-house laboratories. Many supplement houses don�t even have one in-house laboratory, much less three. HVL uses these labs to meet the USP XXIII standards and to perform their own in-house analyses of raw materials that come into their facility. Raw materials are placed in strict quarantine until microbiological assays confirm that the materials meet the USP XXIII standards for purity. In this age of increasing microbial contamination of our foodstuffs with organisms such as E. Coli and Salmonella, this step insures that you don�t have to worry about any contamination of your Custom Essentials. This cannot be said for many other supplement lines, since compliance with USP XXIII standards is strictly voluntary. With Custom Essentials, you know what you are getting.
� All herbal ingredients found in Custom Essentials and in our ancillary products are produced by growers who are either certified organic growers or who are in the process of becoming an organically certified grower. This process requires sophisticated soil analyses over several years, screening for the presence of herbicides and pesticides.
� HVL uses a true �cold-processing technique� which preserves nutrient potency. This is one of the reasons that healthcare professionals have kept coming back to our formulator for almost half a century-their products get results that others don�t, because the nutrients are intact.
� Blending all the separate ingredients that make up a multivitamin/mineral and making sure that they mix evenly is a challenging task. Many manufacturers just dump all the ingredients together and blend away. With multiple-capsule doses, as is found in many comprehensive multi�s, this can sometimes result in, for instance, most of your zinc being in some capsules and very little in the others. This kind of uneven ingredient distribution does not supply consistent nutrition and may promote accelerated nutrient/nutrient interaction. Through their years of in-house research, HVL has developed a �stepped� blending technique to insure uniform nutrient distribution for complex formulations. In the case of Custom Essentials, this special process involves 15 separate blending steps for each of our 48 permutations! With your Custom Essentials, you can be absolutely sure that what it says on the label is actually in each daily dose. That is security in supplementation.
