PORTLAND, Ore., March 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural
supplement company Botanical Craft launches Palm Fruit™ liquid
capsules, a phytonutrient supplement that has been proven to slow
and reverse the aging process. (1)
Palm Fruit™ contains dozens of phytonutrients, including
fat-soluble antioxidants such as tocotrienols, tocopherols, and
carotenoids all obtained from the oil-based palm fruit (Elaeis
guineensis).
Over the last two decades, over 35 human clinical studies have
uncovered the unique anti-aging properties of palm-based
phytonutrients, with the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)
granting over $2.5 million to support
the research. (2) The palm-based tocotrienols and carotenoids have
been found to boost the skin's natural defense against UVA and UVB
rays, prevent DNA damage associated with aging, and trigger the
regrowth of hair on the scalp in those suffering from hair loss.
(3–5)
"I originally imported the palm fruit extract in 2006 as a
natural remedy for my mother's hair loss after hearing about the
emerging research," said Potratz, product formulator for
Botanical Craft. "After seeing the results my mother
experienced, I started selling the palm fruit extract, and
continued to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback."
In 2012, Eric Potratz teamed up
with investor Dustin McCluskey to
launch Palm Fruit™ under the brand Botanical Craft. "We
originally launched Palm Fruit™ as a mixable powder, but it was
messy and difficult to use," explained McCluskey. "We went
back to the drawing board, improved virtually every aspect of the
product, and are now relaunching with the new Palm Fruit™ liquid
capsules."
Nutritional scientists have found that the average daily adult
diet, which includes several servings of fruits and vegetables,
only provides about 2 mg per day of tocotrienols, and about 10 mg
per day of carotenoids. (6) Yet, clinical research shows that the
ideal intake of these nutrients is at least 160 mg, and 30 mg per
day, respectively. (1, 3–5) Palm Fruit™ delivers this clinically
effective dose in two capsules, and is currently the only product
in the world to deliver such a dose.
The phytonutrients are extracted from red palm oil through a
patented vacuum distillation process that produces a finished
phytonutrient extract 250 times more concentrated than the fresh
palm fruit. "You'd have to drink an entire cup of red palm oil
to get the same dose of phytonutrients in two capsules of Palm
Fruit™," added Potratz.
"There are hundreds of anti-aging supplements on the market,
many of which are just sprinkled with miniscule amounts of buzzword
ingredients for marketing appeal," explained McCluskey.
"Although our product has a high production cost, we know that
we are delivering a supplement that is supported by more human
clinical research than any other product on the market."
Each batch of Palm Fruit™ is tested for purity, identity, and
strength; and is produced in a GMP and NSF certified facility in
the USA. Palm Fruit™ is NON-GMO
Project Verified, vegan certified, hypoallergenic, and free of all
additives. "We go beyond GMP and verify that each batch is free
of dangerous pesticides, solvents, and other potential
contaminates. We also protect the active ingredients from oxygen
throughout the entire supply-chain to ensure maximum
freshness," added Potratz.
Palm Fruit™ slows the aging process for men and women of any
age, and Botanical Craft believes it will be a household staple in
the near future. "We might be the first on the market with a
clinically relevant palm fruit extract, but we certainly won't be
the last," said Potratz.
Palm Fruit™ can be purchased on amazon.com or directly from
botanicalcraft.com on a monthly subscription.
