    SupplySide is next week, and we have some news about ElderCraft® to share! Join us at Booth #3145 to try our new ElderCraft® DualDefenseand learn more about the LARGEST and LONGEST clinical study on elderberry for immune support to date.  

    Closing the GLP-1 Calcium Gap

    THE PROBLEM: GLP-1s reduce appetite and food intake. When intake falls, micronutrient intake can fall with it, creating a new population of users who don’t realize they are at risk.GLP-1 users see a 5-12% drop in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D, and up to 30% higher osteoporosis risk. That’s opened an entirely new product category for consumers eating substantially less who need to meet foundational mineral requirements.

    THE SOLUTION: WholeCal®, derived from marine algae, provides calcium plus 70+ trace minerals inside a clean-label, sustainable, whole-foods matrix. It provides superior bioavailability and GI tolerability compared to conventional calcium ingredients.

    Natural Metabolic & Blood Sugar Support

    THE PROBLEM: 56% of GLP-1 users discontinue the medications within a year, driven by factors like out-of-pocket costs and GI side effects. GLP-1s aren’t right for everyone, but their popularity has renewed interest in other solutions that support metabolic health and blood sugar management.In a study, InSea2® improved post-meal blood glucose response by up to 48% in healthy volunteers, in addition to supporting healthy glucose metabolism long-term.

    THE SOLUTION:  InSea2®, made from kelp and bladderwrack seaweeds, helps manage metabolic response to meals. It acts on digestive enzymes involved in breaking down carbohydrates into glucose, resulting in more stable glucose levels and improved metabolic homeostasis.
