Formulations and Manufacturing Protocol

Master Formulator:

John E. Logsdon (1924-1998) was the master formulator of this unique line of nutritional supplements. 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
