| ADVENT Labs “Dietary Supplements of America” |
During 2000, because of the increasing trend in the USA to turn more to herbal products rather than chemical substances, we added a second division to our line; Dietary Supplements of America. Dietary Supplements of America currently boasts a wide range of Natural Formulas exceeding 60 products for conditions such as Arthritis, Cellulite, Colds, High Cholesterol, Memory Loss, Menopause, Sleeplessness and Staying Young, and Weight Loss to name a few, in addition to its basic line of Multi-Vitamins for men, women and children These products are currently being exported to 32 countries around the world.
Recently efforts to cover the Middle East, and Former Russian Republic Countries look very promising and a wide Marketing and Distribution agreement with one of the well-established local distributors in Turkey has been finalized. We view Turkey as a gateway to the Middle East, Former Russian Republics and Eastern Europe, keeping in mind the added advantage of Turkey being an Associate member of the EEC. Newly installed customized packaging equipment has added significant production power to the final assembly process, which recently was 20.000 finished pieces an hour. Further studies were completed last year to produce 5 to 6 million capsules of dietary supplements a day. Most recently we have added “Fast Melt” technologies to our dietary supplements. New formulas are being created on a daily basis to expand the Natural Supplements line of products, with special emphasis on integrating the following group of Natural Supplements: MeltEase Technology; Millions of Americans avoid taking pills of any kind unless faced with serious illnesses, especially those who have difficulty swallowing their supplements. This affects supplement sales. The pharmaceutical industry has offered fast dissolution technologies for many years, too expensive to be placed in nutritional supplements until now. The MELTEASE technology allows tablet dissolution in less than five seconds (average 400 mg tablet). This is the best mechanism available to ensure compliance and increase sales in two important markets: children and the elderly. Fast melt technology has already been implemented into tablets for many nutritional supplements. At a very marginal development cost, you may request your own specific formulations, including taste masking and sustained release on certain ingredients. |
