Q:
Why does the Cell Forté® MAX3 label not recommend to take on an empty stomach, as do all the other Cell Forté® product labels?
A:
We have reviewed our information and agree that the label recommendations for the Cell Forté® and the Cell Forté® MAX3 products are not consistent. Although we do not feel that the product is ineffective if taken with food, optimal benefits are attained when taken between meals. Therefore, the Cell Forté® MAX3 label will be updated to include the recommendation "Best taken on an empty stomach." We apologize for any confusion this may cause for customers.
Q:
Why have calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus been added to the Cell Forte Supplement Facts Box? Has the product been reformulated?
A:
The formula has not changed. Enzymatic Therapy, LLC. has chosen to include the calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus contributions from calcium magnesium phytate (the source of IP-6). These minerals have always been present in the formulation at the labeled levels.
The federal regulations associated with the labeling of these elements are vague. A dietary supplement manufacturer is required to label essential vitamins and minerals “when added as a nutrient supplement, or when a claim is made about them”.
Since the product was formulated for its key components, inositol and IP-6, rather than calcium, magnesium, or phosphorus, Enzymatic Therapy had not included the mineral content on previous labels. However, we realize that our consumers recognize the wide range of health benefits associated with these minerals. Therefore, we have chosen to add the calcium, magnesium and phosphorus content to the supplement facts box.
Q:
Can Cell Forté® MAX3 over-stimulate my immune system?*
A:
That is a very good question. And at first glance, it might seem a possibility. However, one of the most amazing aspects of Cell Forté® MAX3 is its ability to modulate and support immune system health.* Research has shown that the patented combination of IP-6 and Inositol found in Cell Forté® MAX3 does not increase the number of natural killer cells; rather it increases natural killer cell activity by up to 58%.* Similarly, maitake mushroom can increase macrophage activity (a type of white blood cell) by up to 133%.* And the POA cat’s claw extract in Cell Forté® MAX3 has been shown to enhance the activity – not the number – of key immune T-cells by 137% and B-cells by 82%.*
In other words, Cell Forté® MAX3 strengthens and balances the immune system without the fear of over-stimulation.*
