Nutratose - "Globally Acclaimed Natural Health Discovery" ?
Many of our customers have asked us about Nutratose from TechMedica Health. So we looked into Nutratose:
We found their customer service to be very friendly and polite, although the hold time sometimes exceeds 5 minutes.
As you read the info below, please keep in mind that we are a major competitor of TechMedica Health and therefore biased, so we invite you to call TechMedica Health and ask them the same questions that we asked their customer service.
Please note: We repeatedly requested that since the customer service reps could not answer our questions that they refer us to a product specialist or medical professional who could answer our questions. The customer service department said that there was no medical professional or product specialist there for us to speak with. We also asked that they give us the names of the researchers and of the universities that had done all of the research mentioned on the websites - unfortunately the customer service department could not provide names of any universities or researchers that had studied Nutratose.
Keeping this in mind, their websites (TechMedica.com and MicroNutra.com) say that:
1- Nutratose is "globally acclaimed" - We asked their customer support team which people/publications had acclaimed or endorsed Nutratose. The customer service rep couldn't name any for us or tell us where to go to find these endorsements. She suggested that by "globally acclaimed" the website might mean "ships globally".
2- Nutratose is the "very first complete fusion of all eight essential glyconutrients" - Nutratose is one of many products on the market which claims to have all eight essential glyconutrients. To see for yourself just do a search for the term "glyconutrients" on google.com or on search.yahoo.com . They are certainly not the first - more likely just the most recent. Further we asked to see the test results proving that all eight glyconutrients are in Nutratose as TechMedica Health claims. The customer service rep said that since the product is patent-pending, they could not show us these test results.
3- Nutratose is "quickly absorbed, directly through the epithelial lining of your digestive tract" - Once again we asked if they could show us research proving this or tell us where to find the research. The customer service rep didn't know of any research and was unable to tell us where we might look for the research. So we looked on PubMed.com for research on Nutratose and found nothing.
4- Nutratose "has over twice the absorption ability of anything else available" and "delivered over 300% more of the crucial ingredients" - We asked if we could see TechMedica Health's research or figures backing these statements, but the customer service rep said that TechMedica could not release the results of this study because it would not be right towards their competitors. Despite this their websites repeatedly compare Nutratose to products such as "regular MLM complex powder AND their advanced MLM complex" and "MLM glyco-product".
5- University of Arkansas Mass Spectrometry Center - We looked on the University of Arkansas' website in vain for even a mention of Nutratose. The customer service rep at TechMedica Health said these results could not be released since Nutratose is patent-pending.
6- "Over a period of six months, Nutratose™ is seven times more effective than the leading phyto-glyconutrient product" - We asked to see this test and also asked what was the leading glyconutrient product that TechMedica Health had tested. We were told that in fairness to their competitor, they could not give out this information.
7- "Double blind placebo-controlled clinical studies on hundreds of
patients reported significantly reduced symptoms with zero side-effects." - We asked the customer service supervisor if she could show us a copy of this study or tell us where we could find a copy. She said that she could not do either because the R&D department had not "released" the study yet. When we asked, "Why would the R&D department not release such a compelling study?", the supervisor said that perhaps the R&D department had not yet finished the study.
We found that another competitor of ours (and of TechMedica Health's) - MicroHealthSolutions had a similar experience with TechMedica Health in regard to Nutratose. Here is what they said:
EXTREMELY DISTURBING is the fact there
is absolutely NO ingredient list for Nutratose posted anywhere on their
website. It is against the law to NOT DISCLOSE ingredients for dietary
supplements. As emailed via Nutratose customer service, find the
ingredient list for Nutratose posted below.
THE CONSUMER is expertly
marketed a 60 count bottle of capsules. What is the capsule size? This
information is disclosed nowhere on their website. The consumer MUST be
privy to this information as well. According to documents emailed via
Nutrotose customer service, the capsule size is 850 mgs.
ECONOMICS:
Simple math. 60 - 850 mgs capsules = packaging with LESS THAN 60 grams
of material. For $67.00? Even at the graduated “giveaway”
offered by Nutratose, buy 5 get 5 free, the consumer still ONLY gets
510 grams of material for $335.00.
INGREDIENTS:
Predominately mushrooms and the DREADED Glucosamine Sulphate which is
derived from shellfish. Shellfish allergies are rampant and may also
prove devastatingly harmful. This fact of course renders the product
unusable for vegetarians and vegans alike.
THE
LAW: Guidelines have been put in place by the both the FDA and an
organization called DSHEA regarding disclosure of ingredients. Mannose,
galactose etc as featured on the Nutratose website are complex sugars,
natural derivatives of whole foods. They are NOT ingredients.
THE
GRAPH showing ALL * saccharides exist. This is a piece of worthless
information. However, it may be impressive to the uneducated consumer.
PRODUCT
BASHING: To bash and otherwise publicly blemish another company and its
products is poor business as featured on their website with regard to
the “Leading MLM Product.” One can only assume the company
they are referring to is M.annatech which has excellent products.
DOSAGE:
Those of you familiar with Glyco dosing are aware that in many cases a
unique situation will require up to 2 (sometimes 3) tablespoons per
day. That leaves the consumer swallowing 6-800 capsules of Nutratose
monthly. Provided it indeed does offer benefits to the consumer.
SUPERIOR
ABSORPTION CLAIMS; Techmedica, the company that produces Nutratose has
been unable to offer any third party research against our products or
any other glyconutrient product that demonstrates without a doubt their
product is indeed more absorbable. If this would be the case, one would
assume that a company would be pleased to publicly post this research.
TechMedica,
the company behind Nutratose is heavy into infomercial marketing to
peddle their wares. We were contacted by the person in charge of their
infomercials who of course had a few questions for us.
WE
CHOOSE to NOT engage in sultry business practices as demonstrated by
TechMedica and associates. For those of you who have come to know us,
you understand how dedicated we are to each and every one of our
customers.
FINALLY, a company with integrity
conducts business in an equally integrous manner. We ALL must operate
under the confines of the law all the while demonstrating proper
decorum. Techmedica has been officially served by M.annatech, Inc.
We
apologize for the behavior of a company that is supposedly run by
professional medical personnel. We find these current and most unique
circumstances daunting and disturbing. These behaviors often make it
difficult for those conducting themselves in a professional and ethical
manner. The old saying, “one bad apple spoils the bunch”
has never rang more accurate.
Sincerely,
MicroHealthSolutions
