In the early 1990's, a landmark court case took place in the United States.  This court case, perhaps more than any other, had a profound bearing and significance on the nutritional industry.

As you would expect, when the reports of the superiority of FoodMatrix™ nutrients began to surface, the mammoth companies that have spent billions on manufacturing and marketing chemical isolates were not pleased with the news.

The case involved a company selling isolated chemical nutrients that objected to and discounted the fact, that FoodMatrix™ nutrients were better absorbed, retained and utilized. 

To determine the differences, experts used a variety of leading edge technologies including nuclear magnetic resonance testing. These technologies have been utilized by federal police crime labs as well as NASA.

On February 8th, 1993, this $3 million lawsuit came to an out of court settlement when all parties agreed that the following claims can be made about FoodMatrix™ nutrients:

• Studies indicate that FoodMatrix™ materials may be different from vitamins mixed with food.
• FoodMatrix™ materials are better than isolated USP nutrients.
• FoodMatrix™ materials may be better absorbed, retained and utilized than USP nutrients.
• FoodMatrix™ materials are manufactured under a proprietary process.
