Limu Plus® vs. Original Limu
A Research Summary

Due to recent publishings of research, hypothecations, and misinformation regarding both the “Original Limu” and “Limu Plus” branded products, our company was contracted to provide third party investigative analytical documentation evidencing the elemental and active content of these two nutritional supplements.

Reportedly a polysaccharide known as “Fucoidan” is a key, essential nutrient naturally occurring within Limu Moui Extract. Limu Moui Extract originates from an angel hair style algae popular in the Republic of Tonga and related regions. This wild-crafted algae, in its extracted form, has shown great benefit as a nutritional supplement. The nutritional results of the extract have been marketed over time as a Fucoidan-containing food concentrate and a natural food source of a multitude of aquatic nutrients.

Globally, there are very few companies that have the equipment, knowledge, and technologies available to accurately test and measure these finite nutritive compounds. We located and employed the services of North Texas Research Laboratory (a division of North Texas Medical Associates) and requested Dr. Danhof (Ph.D, M.D.) to perform a nutritional analysis focusing its emphasis on Fucoidans.

On May 19, 2004, a bench chemist by the name of R.H. Molony published his microscopic examination, product comparison, and comments on the two brands using a test procedure referred to in his report “Methylene Blue precipitation.” This test, when published in the 1930’s, was the best method available at the time; with today’s advances in science and technology – and using researchers with advanced knowledge, capabilities, and degrees specifically in this type of research – a more accurate and reliable platform of information is attainable and defendable.

The attached Certificates of Analysis accurately validate the existence and potency of Fucoidans in both brands. First, it is important to note that both brands have a substantially higher level of Fucoidan using “Size-Exclusion Chromatography” than that found on the May 19 report from Molab Ltd. Second, the verified confirmation of the Polysaccharide Fucoidan in the two brands, as well as the raw material extract from Tonga are as follows:

Third, the final content comparison of Fucoidan shows the Limu Plus® brand to be 8.6% higher than the Original Limu brand. And last, this comparison identifies identical molecular structure in size and characteristic to all three test groups.

This evidence discredits the opinion that one brand is in an insoluble form (as commented on by Molab), or that there may be a bioavailability difference between the two brands. The bioavailability is identical, yet the bioactivity of the Limu Plus® brand is 8.6% higher.

Furthermore, these tests prove the unreliability and limitations of archaic testing methodologies and that advanced nutritional properties require advanced nutritional testing technologies.

In closing, there is a variety of other pertinent information published in Dr. Danhof’s (Ph.D, M.D.) tests that also shows higher contents and nutritional values in the Limu Plus® brand. It is important to note that adaptogenic activity was not tested as the Original Limu label does not report its inclusion and other nutritional values and compounds were not tested at this time. This test was performed at the direct response to the May 19 circular to help alleviate any possible confusion or misunderstanding.

Thank you for your inquiry.

VitaMune® is back and ready to ship! VitaMune’s shark cartilage is processed

VitaMune

using patented technology to create proprietary measures to insure proper “sizing” for optimum absorbency; to create the accurate temperatures to optimize effectiveness; to create the optimum blending techniques to insure proper, homogenous blending of the active components; and to create extremely controlled conditions to achieve the freshest and purest form of cartilage.

VitaMune’s special blend of cartilage contains optimum levels of naturally occurring Mucopolysaccharides (these polysaccharides form the gelatinous material that seems to glue the cells together and support the joints—it is sometimes called “the glue of life“); glucosaminoglycans (like Chondroitin at 440 mg, Hyaluronic Acid at 200 mcg and glucosamine sulfate and other glucosaminoglycans at 880 mg); Type II Collagen; Calcium; Protein, Zinc and others. These nutritional components support healthy joints and cell growth.*

This blend of Immuno-Peptide™ and 100% pure shark cartilage provides for compatible absorbency that will help unlock your own natural defense system.*

When taken as a dietary supplement at the serving size of 4 capsules, you’ll receive 2000 mg of this specially processed cartilage, which includes 140 mcg of the powerful Immuno-Peptide™—that’s 500 mg of power per capsule!

Let your body’s first line of defense direct the complex biochemical response that maintains health. With its army of defense cells activated, the natural ability of your own body to protect itself is optimized.*

Unlock your own natural defense system.*
+ A natural approach to Immune System support of T-cell and macrophage activity*
+ A smart choice for your daily health maintenance program
+ Scientifically processed under closely guarded proprietary standards to provide a safe, standardized formula for maximum benefit and absorbency
+ Contains no chemicals or additives
+ VitaMune®—possibly one of the most exciting health discoveries in decades.*

Tramane

Tramane Homeopathic Shark Cartilage combines the natural power of shark cartilage and sound homeopathic principle. Shark cartilage is recognized for its nutritional support which facilitates normal cell growth, supports joint health and facilitates healthy immune function. Combine this with the science of homeopathy and you have a shark cartilage that everyone can take.

Homeopathy is a scientific principle based on using specially prepared natural remedies to stimulate the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. It affords the user safe, non-toxic healing responses. The specific substances are diluted using a special process called “succussion”. This process yields the transfer of the power of the natural remedy through a series of dilutions.

The theory is that the more diluted the homeopathic–the more powerful it is.

Tramane is high quality shark cartilage in its most bioavailable form. It offers:

The nutritional benefit of whole shark cartilage*

Support for normal cellular growth*

Joint Support *

Support to facilitate Immune function *

Relief from symptoms of minor illness such as colds and flu*

Just 10 to 20 drops mixed with a TBSP of water and held in the mouth for 2-3 minutes before swallowing or undiluted and dropped onto or under the tongue, offers relief.* Recommended for those over the age of 2 or as recommended by a health care professional. If pregnant or nursing, seek the advice of a health care professional. If you have had a concern with alcohol, you should avoid use of this product–it is in a base of distilled water and alcohol.
