Ok, so first thing this morning I decided to find out just what Melaleuca has done since I last bought products from them. My first question is Oligo-WHAT?? Well, it seems they are pretty excited about it, so I guess it’s time to do a little research!! Let’s see what I can find.
First off, what is the purpose of this wonderful Oligofructose complex and why was it thought of in the first place?
( I’m not going to reference every quote I find regarding this stuff, nor is it guaranteed to be verbatim, just English and accurate! Why you ask? …. 1. It’s my blog and I don’t have to. 2. I trust my research on the subject!) Now for the answer!!
Scientists have discovered that most vitamins are poorly absorbed and even worse, prevent both natural and commercial antioxidant supplements (vitamins that reduce the risk of serious diseases) from working. Dr. Garry R. Buettner is the head of the Free Radical Research Institute, from the University of Iowa. He is considered the world’s number one authority in the field of free radical research, and made the discovery along with researchers from Melaleuca Inc., (considered one of the world’s leading wellness companies, and a registered pharmaceutical company).
Melaleuca has filed for a patent on a new discovery – oligofructose complex - now the world’s only vitamin process that accomplishes two things: (1) proper mineral absorption, and (2) does not destroy the value of anti-oxidants.
The breakthrough centers on antioxidants. Antioxidants fight disease and help you live longer. You can find them in berries and supplements.” Oligofructose Complex helps you keep anti-oxidants in your body! Everyone knows what antioxidants are right? Those are the good guys that help our body fight off diseases. Yeah, I could get technical with you but this post is about ogliofructose right?
Until the recent announcement, Melaleuca had been the only company in the world with a patent on vitamin and mineral absorption. That patent, commonly called fructose compounding, expired recently and the company has replaced it with its new Oligofructose complex.
