GenSpec introduces world's first genetically specific nutraceutical product line
The new product line is expected to address the unique metabolic needs of African- Americans, Hispanics, and Caucasians.
08/02/06 GenSpec Labs, LLC. has announced that it has formulated the world's first genetically specific nutraceutical product line which effectively addresses the unique metabolic needs of African- Americans, Hispanics, and Caucasians.
"Vitamins are not one size fits all," says Joseph Lander, President and Founder of GenSpec. "Access to good health is a fundamental right and through our extensive research, product development, and dedication to educate the consumer, our products will revolutionize the way vitamins are used. By providing therapeutic levels of vital nutrients, GenSpec has the potential to help prevent certain diseases."
With his team of medical professionals, Lander has discovered that unique physiological and metabolic differences can actually cause various vitamin deficiencies, thus making each ethnic group much more vulnerable to different life-threatening diseases.
Notably, research from the Mayo Clinic, the American Heart Association, and the American Cancer Society support GenSpec's findings and demonstrate the significant health disparities between different ethnic groups. Among the greatest disparities are those seen among Hispanics and African-Americans, who are far more likely to suffer from extreme vitamin D deficiency, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, rectal and colon cancer, prostate cancer, and end-stage kidney disease. These two groups also experience lower metabolic rates, which contribute to higher incidences of life-threatening obesity. Caucasians are more likely to suffer from spina bifida, osteoporosis and breast cancer.
While there have been numerous studies that show the correlation of vitamin D deficiency and debilitating medical conditions, the solution has often been unrealistic as far as meeting the recommended daily allowance for vitamin D. For most minorities, the presence of melanin in skin cells and lactose intolerance prevent proper vitamin absorption and consumption. GenSpec is the only product that offers an effective method of obtaining a sufficient amount of these nutrients on a daily basis.
GenSpec products include vitamin supplements (suggested retail price: $17.99) for the African-American, Hispanic, Caucasian male and female, weight loss supplements (suggested retail price: $29.95) for African-Americans, Hispanics, and Caucasians, Metabolic Booster (suggested retail price: $19.99) and a Toxin Cleanse (suggested retail price: $15.99).
In the near future, GenSpec should be found at local retailers nationwide such as Walgreen's, USA Drug, Duane Reade, and Kmart.
All products from the GenSpec line are manufactured by Vitarich Labs, a certified GMP, or Good Manufacturing Practices facility. Both Vitarich Laboratories and GenSpec Labs, LLC are members of the National Nutritional Foods Association.
