DR. RATH – FOUNDER OF CELLULAR MEDICINE

Dr. Rath Health Programs B.V. is one of the few companies specializing in micronutrient research and the development of nutritional supplements that bears the name of a scientist. And for a very good reason. Dr. Rath discovered that decisions about health and disease are made at the level of cells. Common diseases such as heart attacks, strokes and cancer are the consequence of a chronic deficiency in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other micronutrients – also known as cellular nutrients – in millions of cells in the body. If sufficient micronutrients are delivered to the cells, diseases can be avoided. Dr. Rath coined the phrase “cellular medicine” to describe this discovery.

Dr. Rath was a scientific associate and personal friend of the two-time Nobel Laureate Dr. Linus Pauling. Together these two scientists published several pioneering research papers on the role of micronutrients in the prevention of cardiovascular disorders. After Pauling’s death in 1994, Dr. Rath and his team of scientists at the research institute founded by him systematically continued to develop research into vitamins. Dr. Rath’s ground-breaking discoveries in the area of natural health at the same time laid the foundation for innovative combinations of natural substances, like those available in the Dr. Rath Cellular Nutrient Program.

HEALTH BEGINS AT CELL

LEVEL

If you know how your body functions, you also know why you sometimes feel fit and sometimes listless, why you are healthy but can become ill.

Your health depends on the smallest unit in your body – the cell. Let’s take a closer look at it.

• Our bodies are made up of billions of cells, the smallest living units in our body. Their function decides how vigorous we humans feel.

• If a cell is not working, the organ –and consequently the body – cannot function properly. In such cases, to put it simply, the cell is hungry – it lacks nutrients.

• Performance capacity and disease are decided at cell level: if the cell is suffering from deficiencies, it partially or fully stops functioning, becomes ill and/or dies.

What all cells have in common is that they have to be supplied with nutrients to fulfill their functions in an optimum fashion. Our nutrition is therefore of fundamental importance for vitality and well-being.

In addition to oxygen, water and what are known as the “macronutrients” –protein, carbohydrates and fat – it is above all the cellular nutrients that drive the cell processes which are important for life.

Most cellular nutrients are responsible for accelerating thousands of biochemical reactions in the metabolism of every cell, or in fact making these possible in the first place. The structure, protection, energy supply to and functioning of our cells and organs – and ultimately of our bodies – are directly connected with cellular nutrients.

HEALTH PRODUCTS

A healthy, balanced diet with a wide selection of fresh, organic fruit and vegetables forms the basis for providing our bodies with nutrients. Our formulas complement this selection of nutrients with important vitamins, minerals, trace elements and a range of other health-promoting ingredients. They support overall metabolism and make a valuable contribution to basic health care at every age.

By opting for our range of micronutrients, you are making a good choice. You are buying products that are quite distinct from most nutritional supplements on the market, as they have been developed based on scientific research and tested for their effectiveness.

Vitacor Plus™ Synergy Formula for daily nutritional supplementation. You can obtain this and many other products from our online shop at www.dr-rath.com –easy to access via the QR code.

A key prerequisite in being able to offer you the highest quality products with proven benefits is our close collaboration with the Dr. Rath Research Institute, a leading international facility in the area of science-based natural health.

Most companies in the nutritional supplements sector do not carry out any scientific or clinical studies of their own. They, in fact, rely on third-party publications (including ours) to provide evidence for the alleged effectiveness of their products.

You can access the studies here:

www.drrathresearch.org

Dr. A. Niedzwiecki, Head of the Dr. Rath Research Institute for over 20 years, and a leading international scientist in the area of micronutrient research.

The Dr. Rath Research Institute is regarded as a pioneer in the area of science-based natural health research, as we were the first to submit our range of nutritional supplements to in-depth research at cellular and whole-organism level. The results of our own research carried out by the team around Dr. Rath and Dr. Niedzwiecki over more than 10 years have been published in numerous independent scientific journals.

For more than a decade, our scientists have been researching the effectiveness, safety and benefits of micronutrient synergies in the natural control of various disease processes. It is our aim to make science-based natural remedies a significant part of a patient-orientated health system in all countries of the world.

As our vitamin company and the Dr. Rath Research Institute belong to a charitable foundation, you are not just supporting your health by purchasing our products. You are also contributing to the continuation of our three-decade-long commitment to natural therapies and human health.

NATURALLY PATENTED: OUR FORMULAS

The US Patent and Trademark Office, an American government agency, has officially acknowledged the efficacy of our scientifically developed micronutrient combinations. To date, we are the first and only organization in the world to systematically patent its developments in micronutrient research, thus ensuring that they are put on a scientifically proven basis. The implications of this strategy are far reaching: worldwide, for the first time, common and serious health problems can be prevented in a natural, safe and effective way. In the long term, this will reduce common diseases to a fraction of their current incidence.

Learn more about our patented formulas: The biological effects of the micronutrient combinations we have researched and tested have been patented in many areas, including high blood pressure, diabetes, viral infections, cancer, and eye health.

For each of these patents, a large number of scientific studies had to be documented to prove both the specific composition of vitamins and other micronutrients, and the biological effectiveness of these combinations.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MICRONUTRIENT SYNERGIES

Vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other micronutrients never occur in nature on their own or in isolation. They are connected together in the cells of our body like a network, with the optimum effectiveness of an individual micronutrient in this network being dependent on the presence of other micronutrients and nutritional components. Only in combination can these substances achieve their full effectiveness.

The mutually beneficial effects that the substances have on one another do not only enhance their own benefits. They also make it possible for other nutrients to be better absorbed and used by the metabolic processes.

By applying the principle of synergy, we can achieve this maximum effect with our micronutrient formulations without resorting to megadoses of one individual nutrient.

VITAMIN C, A KEY INGREDIENT IN THE DR. RATH FORMULAS

Vitamin C is probably the best known of all vitamins – and for good reason: hardly any other vitamin fulfils so many different functions in the body. One important form of vitamin C is buffered vitamin C. It is formed when ascorbic acid is combined with a mineral (normally calcium, magnesium, or potassium). Buffered vitamin C is gentler on the stomach than pure ascorbic acid, which can cause stomach upsets in sensitive people. Buffered vitamin C is also absorbed best into the body.

Ascorbyl palmitate is a particularly effective form of vitamin C. However, due to its high cost, it is seldom used in nutritional supplements. Ascorbyl palmitate is fat-soluble, and can therefore be integrated into cell membranes and other cell structures rich in lipids, and protect these structures against oxidation.

QUALITY OF THE DR. RATH CELLULAR NUTRIENT PROGRAM

The science-based composition of the Dr. Rath formulas is what makes our nutritional supplement program distinctive. The high quality of our products demonstrates the commitment we feel to your health.

Our products are:

• free from genetically modified plant material

• free from artificial colorants and flavorings

• free from allergens such as gluten*, lactose and wheat

• free from gelatine (instead we use, for instance, hypromellose derived from plant cell fibers)

• free from yeast and MSG (monosodium glutamate)

• free from trans-fatty acids

* E xception: the dietary fiber formula Dr. Rath´s Phytobiologicals™ Balance Control

Ingredients of natural origin:

Wherever possible, we use ingredients and additives of natural origin such as:

• Fruit, in particular citrus fruits, papaya, pineapple, grape seeds, coconuts

• O ther plants, in particular maize, soy, sugar beet, green tea, seaweed, marigolds, extracts of pine bark

• Chondroitin and glucosamine (in Arteriforte™) derived from natural cartilage

Papaya

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS AND ADDITIVES

When it comes to ingredients, we distinguish between active ingredients and additives.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

Our cellular nutrient formulas consist of many different individual substances that work together to help to optimize natural cell functions. Each individual substance contributes to the effect, and the combination in each product is scientifically tailored. The vitamins, amino acids, minerals, plant extracts (“phytobiologicals”) and other cellular nutrients are specified on the label with the respective daily allowance.

“Active” also means that we use high-quality forms of cellular nutrients that are easily absorbed and rapidly metabolized. This distinguishes our high-quality formulas from cheap imitation products.

BIOAVAILABILITY

To make faster absorption possible and therefore provide optimum bioavailability of the cellular nutrients to the body, our minerals and trace elements are organically bound to the amino acids glycine or methionine. In

this way, we can prevent any individual cellular nutrients from counteracting one another.

ADDITIVES

An additive is a substance that is necessary for the production of the capsule, but which does not contribute directly to the effect. A good example is the lemon flavor in the Vitacor Plus capsule, which comes from a natural plant source. We take great care to avoid unnecessary or questionable additives.

RECOMMENDED CONSUMPTION

CONSUMPTION:

Take the cellular nutrient formulas spread over the day at mealtimes with plenty of liquid (water, juice, tea). This will ensure a constant concentration in the bloodstream and uniform absorption of the nutrients by the body, as well as improved absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins E, D and beta-carotene.

If you are taking more than one formula a day, you may want to take the capsules with a snack.

DURATION OF CONSUMPTION:

Basic care of our body’s health – for example in the form of the basic combination Vitacor Plus™ & Dr. Rath’s Phytobiologicals™ – should be a regular, long-term habit. Throughout our lives, millions of cells consume cell energy which we have to supply to our body.

FOOD – A SUITABLE SOURCE

OF CELLULAR NUTRIENTS?

Natural foods such as fruit and vegetables mainly grow in monocultures, i.e., a whole field is covered with only a single type of plant. This makes the yield greater, and gives the farmer the opportunity to make profits on his produce. But the consequence of monocultures is that the soil is unilaterally exhausted due to the specific nutrient requirements of the plant, and fertilizer has to be used to trigger growth in the plant. This is contrary to the natural regeneration of the soil, and the plant which grows in it is now depleted of vital nutrients and will possibly be unable to create the immunity to protect it from predators and other influences. Consequently, plant protection products have to be used.

A further problem is the premature harvesting of many fruits in order to survive journeys of thousands of kilometers. Scientists have shown that most of the protective vital nutrients are produced during the last stage of a fruit’s ripening. If they are deprived of this important ripening period, they will not be able to provide us with the cellular nutrients that we actually need. Furthermore, the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables has constantly decreased in recent years. Both

the declining nutrient content and the reduction in consumption of natural products are increasingly contributing to the fact that we are not getting sufficient cellular nutrients from our food. If the consumption of cellular nutrients through food is inadequate, nutritional supplements can fill these gaps, and can therefore contribute to preventing deficiencies.

TASKS AND AIMS OF OUR WORK

We work under the umbrella of a foundation, the Dr. Rath Health Foundation. This means that all profits earned are reinvested in further vital research and corresponding health education work. The basis of our work is research into cellular nutrients and their significance for health. Spreading this knowledge should pave the way for a new form of healthcare based on effective, inexpensive natural remedies with no side-effects.

The overarching aim of our work is a health strategy orientated to prevention. A strong immune system is only one example of an area in which we offer natural and effective solutions. Restoring and maintaining the health of millions of people everywhere in the world is our priority. Naturally!

A summary of our aims:

• Health education

• Promoting science-based natural health approaches

• Research and development of progressive nutritional supplements

• The creation of a modern health care system based on prevention

OUR SCHOOL GARDEN PROJECT IN AFRICA

The change to preventative health care cannot be limited to a few rich industrial countries. This is why we launched the “Movement of Life” project in Africa.

As part of the “Movement of Life” school garden project, children and young people learn about the health benefits of homegrown fruit and vegetables. They plan and look after school gardens, encourage community gardening in the villages where their families live, and help to improve the health of whole regions.

The success of our garden initiative can be quantified in figures: in Uganda, East Africa, one of the poorest countries in the world, more than 12,000 fruit trees have been planted since the project began in 2015. More than 100,000 people in Uganda have benefited directly from the project since then (as of July 2020).

By purchasing any one of our products, you will also be supporting the project “Movement of Life” by the Dr. Rath Health Foundation in Africa, and helping to improve lives.

Health for all means education for all.
