Key PRODUCTS
Arthroben™
Arthroben™ is a safe, effective, non-NSAID, antiinflammatory formula. Its combination of nutrients
work to reduce inflammation, stimulate connective
tissue repair and increase joint mobility and
function. It contains two forms of collagen peptides
and has no effect on prothrombin times and is safe
for patients on warfarin.
Osteoben™
Osteoben™ is formulated to address the
pathophysiology of osteopenia and osteoporosis,
providing patients with the proper bone-supportive
nutritional requirements in order to safely assist
with the dietary management of these conditions.
The main active compound of Osteoben™ is the
isoflavone genistein, which works to target the
decreased BMD (bone mineral density) seen in
osteopenia and osteoporosis.
SitoMedica
Medical foods are an emerging market.
Nutraceuticals thus far are prohibited from
attaching medical claims. The FDA now states
the level of evidence for a direct correlation
can now be attached to Medical Foods. They
target individuals with specific nutritional
requirements for the management of metabolic
imbalances and chronic illness.
SitoMedica is a division of Designs for Health
which is led by Robert J. Nicolisi, M.S. PhD.
He is currently developing a full line of
Medical Foods.
Aphthamin™
Aphthamin™ lozenges are a medical food
formulated for the metabolic management of
the underlying processes of recurrent aphthous
stomatitis (RAS). These lozenges contain 0.5mg
5-MTHF along with 5 mg vitamin B-12 (cobalamin:
as 2 mg methylcobalamin, 2 mg hydroxycobalamin,
1 mg adenosylcobalamin).
Research studies have demonstrated that the
administration of vitamin B12 leads to improvement
and long-term recovery from RAS. Also, in RAS
patients with folate deficiency, repletion of folate
levels dramatically improved or completely
reversed RAS symptoms.
