Product Comparison ChartOnly about 50-60 of the over 600 carotenoid compounds discovered to date actually occur in the human food supply. While Carotenoid Complex is derived entirely from whole foods you normally eat, some competitors have "spiked" their supplements with high levels of specific carotenoids from unnatural sources. In addition, some products claim levels of nutrients not supported by independent analysis.

NOTE: The
protocol for comparitive analysis of Carotenoid Complex and competitive
products was carried out by reverse phase HPLC (high performance liquid
chromatography) in conformance with methodologies outlined in peer-reviewed
analytical journals.
First of Its Kind
Introduced in 1992, Carotenoid Complex was developed to
address almost two decades of scientific research which showed that people
who eat more fruits and vegetables live longer, healthier lives. Now,
after a decade of intense ongoing research and technological developments,
GNLD created a second generation Daily Carotenoid Complex that is more
complete and potent than ever before.
Benefits Beyond Any Other Product
So unique it's been patented! Based on the independent
research and leading-edge technology behind Carotenoid Complex, British
patent no. 2,274,235 was issued in 1996, guaranteeing the exclusivity
of GNLD's unique product benefits for 20 years! Each serving of Carotenoid
Complex delivers the carotenoid profile and protective benefits of an
optimal serving of carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables in their most
bioavailable form.
Clinical Proof That It Works
A food supplement with pharmaceutical potential, Carotenoid
Complex is the first carotenoid supplement that has been scientifically
shown by government researchers to strengthen the immune system and minimize
risk for disease. Multiple studies by independent and government researchers
have demonstrated that Carotenoid Complex is utilized by the body, significantly
boosts immune function, and provides powerful protection against oxidation
damage in the body.
The Human Food Chain Difference
Only Carotenoid Complex follows Nature's blueprint, providing a scientifically validated, balanced formula derived from whole foods
that provides carotenoids in a highly bioavailable
form that the body can absorb and utilize. Derived from tomatoes, carrots,
spinach, red bell peppers, strawberries, apricots and peaches, Carotenoid
Complex delivers the same balanced carotenoid profile as natural foods,
and the protective benefits of an optimal serving of carotenoid-rich fruits
and vegetables. Daily Carotenoid Complex provides a broad spectrum nutrient
profile with alpha-, beta-, gamma-, zeta-, and cis-beta-carotene. It also
contains lycopene and cis-lycopene, lutein, alpha-cryptoxanthin, beta-cryptoxanthin
and zeaxanthin.
Exclusive Production Technology
GNLD's NutriMax process protects the purity and potency
of Carotenoid Complex ingredients at every stage, following pharmaceutical
standards, preparing raw ingredients at low temperatures to prevent nutrient
loss, and encapsulating in an oxygen-free environment to prevent oxidation
and maximize nutrient value.
Convenient
Each capsule provides the carotenoid value of a wide variety
of carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables: just one more way to help you
bridge the gap between what you really should eat, and what you really
do eat. Carotenoid Complex is 100% natural and contains no artificial
colors, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners. |
