The Science Behind NESEMĀ® POWERED PRODUCTS

Plants naturally produce defensive compounds to protect themselves from environmental stress, pathogens, and damage. These compounds—known asĀ phytonutrients or secondary plant metabolites—are increasingly studied for their role in supporting human health. These phytonutrients/metabolites are commonly called "salvestrols".

What nesem®-derived plant salvestrols are contained in Salvestrol® Platinum? Salvestrol® 

Platinum capsules contain a combination of nesemĀ®-derived plant salvestrols: a blend of citrus fruit bioflavonoids, grape seed extract, and winter squash (pumpkin), whose combination augments efficacy. These ingredients are free from genetic modification and synthetic chemicals, including pesticides and antifungal agents. The capsule contents are detailed on the product label.

Is there a certain time of day that is best to take SalvestrolĀ® Platinum? Can I take it with other medications? Does it matter if I’m taking it with food or should it be taken with an empty stomach?

Salvestrols are most active and effective shortly after getting up in the morning. If your goal is enhanced health and vitality, it is recommended to take two SalvestrolĀ® Platinum capsules daily. It is also beneficial to take two capsules of vitamin C with the SalvestrolĀ® Platinum because the C donates an electron to potentiate the SalvestrolĀ® Platinum activity. Dr. Salt suggests that you consider taking the brand, Paleovalley Essential C Complex. It’s best to take it with food. It can be ingested at the same time you take your other medications.

Can I take other vitamins and supplements if I’m taking SalvestrolĀ® Platinum or any of the other SalvestrolĀ® products?

SalvestrolsĀ® don’t interfere with other medications (prescription orĀ  neutraceuticals). However, some substances can impede the efficacy of SalvestrolsĀ® such as St. John’s Wort, certain agrochemical fungicides, carbon monoxide (e.g., tobacco smoke), grapefruit juice, cannabis, the pharmaceutical drug metformin, and certain artificial sweeteners.

How much more potent is one SalvestrolĀ® Platinum capsule than one day of healthy eating?

The potency of Salvestrols is measured by the Points SystemĀ® (the more points, the better).

One day of healthy eating = 100 points.

One SalvestrolĀ® Platinum capsule = 2000 points.

If SalvestrolĀ® Platinum is derived from plants, how do the Naturally Pure Products’ SalvestrolĀ® molecules provide enough to benefit health and well-being?

For the last 25 years,Ā Naturally Pure Products has been identifying, researching, and carefully curating plants from 23 countries worldwide to find plants containing salvestrols, and then, determine which contain the highest levels of salvestrols (determined by potency and efficacy).

Using the proprietary nesemĀ® technology (naturally elicited specifically extracted molecules), SalvestrolĀ® Platinum and its range of products are carefully crafted. We urge you to watch this nesemĀ® video.

Can I just eat a diet rich in salvestrols instead of taking SalvestrolĀ® Platinum?

Salvestrols are deficient in the modern food supply for several reasons:

  • For millions of years, plants produced salvestrols. It was the salvestrols’ job to defend plants from their enemies, mainly fungi. But in the 1970’s, modern agriculture began spraying crops with synthetic chemicals to defend plants from diseases. Salvestrols - nature’s natural defense system - were no longer needed; therefore, plants significantly decreased the production of salvestrols.
  • Because they are bitter, salvestrols are increasingly bred out of modern-day plant varieties and deliberately removed from foods by the use of debittering techniques. ā€œOrganicā€ plants also have low levels of salvestrols, due to their bitter quality.

Is Salvestrol Platinum safe to take as a dietary supplement?

While adverse reactions to any ingested food, content, or substance are possible, nesemĀ®-derived salvestrols contained in SalvestrolĀ® Platinum and other dietary supplements are natural and very safe to consume for people age 12 and older.

There are no known serious adverse side effects.

For children below age 12, a health care professional should be consulted. While there have been no reports of toxicity, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should avoid taking SalvestrolĀ® Platinum as a precaution.Ā 

Why haven’t I heard about salvestrols and SalvestrolĀ® Platinum?

Salvestrols are relatively unrecognized in the Western Hemisphere as compared to other parts of the world.

They are commonly used in countries, such as Germany, Denmark, Japan, and China, among others. It has been challenging for Americans to believe in the power of natural botanicals (vs. pharmaceuticals) to promote healthy aging and well-being.

Furthermore, western medicine lags behind medical practices in other countries in regards to recognizing the benefits of botanicals.

LyposalveĀ®

I have used many skin creams. Why should I try LypoSalveĀ®?

LypoSalveĀ® is a next generation proactive anti-aging cream extracted from citrus and New Zealand’s brown seaweed (using nesemĀ® technology).

LypoSalveĀ® provides exceptional skin benefits including elasticity and reduction of brown spots and wrinkles. As the writer of this FAQ, I have been using LypoSalveĀ® for five months. This is my testimonial:

After two months of applying LypoSalveĀ® to my face (after cleansing), I thought my complexion was looking smoother, but it’s hard to tell when you look at yourself every day. In the middle of my book club discussion, my friend interrupted me in the middle of my erudite opinion of the book to say, ā€œOh my gosh! Your skin looks great! Are you using some new make-up or something?ā€ I loved it! I don’t think my skin looks awesome, but I am pretty sure it looks smoother and less pigmented.

I have a shellfish allergy - is LyposalveĀ® safe for my use?

LyposalveĀ® contains a marine plant (kelp/seaweed) extract. It doesĀ not contain shellfish or fish-derived ingredients, and no fish or shellfish products are handled in the manufacturing facility.

However, the product hasĀ not been specifically tested for shellfish allergens, and we cannot provide assurances regarding suitability for individuals with severe allergies. As sensitivities vary widely, we recommend consulting your healthcare professional before use and considering a cautious patch test if advised.
