Super Pak contains more than 40 different
ingredients. It would be virtually impossible to obtain the quantities of
micronutrients supplied by a single packet of the product from the typical
daily diet; hence the term “super-dietary”.
The components of the Super Pak packet
–compressed tablets and soft gelatin capsules (softgels)- are to be swallowed
with water. Do not attempt to swallow all of them at once. It is also advised
that they be taken with food. When there is no food in the digestive tract, it
is less stimulated and contains less water. When it contains food, on the other
hand, enzymes are actively being secreted and the body is otherwise better
prepared to absorb the micronutrient cargoes inside Super Pak’s tablets and
softgels. Also note that sensitive individuals may experience stomach upset
when consuming certain vitamins (e.g. B vitamins) without food.
The super-dietary doses of micronutrients (e.g.
vitamin C) used in this formula necessitate the use of larger tablets. These
quantities cannot be achieved with smaller tablets. The tablets have been
coated to make them easier to swallow and hide unpleasant tastes and odors.
Do not chew the tablets. They are meant not
to be chewable so as to slow their disintegration in the digestive tract. This
helps ensure that the micronutrients are efficiently utilized by your cells.
By making the tablets in different shapes
and colors, consumers can better tell them apart. The size of each tablet is
also dictated by the dose of each micronutrient that it contains, as indicated
above. In addition, an elongated oval is used for the large tablets (vitamin C,
B vitamins and minerals) because this is the easiest shape to swallow. While a
large round tablet is certainly possible, many consumers would have difficulty
swallowing it.
The Super Pak tablet manufacturing lab does
everything it can to make sure that the tablets maintain their potency for at
least 2 years. The results of assays and other feedback indicate that they have
been successful in this regard. Some loss of potency over time is generally
inevitable with vitamins and minerals. Much is dependent on how well the
consumer takes care of the product. When Super Pak packets are kept sealed in a
cool, dry place away from light, they can maintain their shelf life very well. Remember
that Super Pak is intended to be used in 30-day cycles. The main concern is not
that an aged micronutrient supplement will be harmful, but that it will have
lost some of its potency.
ü Exclusive, custom
formulation: Super Pak is not an “off-the-shelf” formulation. The Super Pak
tablet manufacturing and packaging labs are small, family-run businesses. Their
small size and highly experienced staff allow them to make custom formulations
precisely according to BI’s specifications. The Super Pak formula is not made
for anyone else.
ü Super-dietary doses:
By distributing its ingredients across a combined total of 9 tablets and softgels,
Super Pak is able to provide you with higher quantities of micronutrients than
can be achieved from the daily diet, practically speaking.
ü Non-chewable,
compressed tablets: The ingredients in chewable tablets can absorb faster
because the act of chewing speeds up the disintegration of the tablet. However,
faster absorption may also result in a higher percentage of the absorbed dose
being excreted in the urine. In order to give consumers super-dietary
quantities of micronutrients while minimizing waste, BI knew that it would have
to sustain their absorption over time. This required making non-chewable
compressed tablets and using techniques like granulation to slow down their
disintegration. Rather than breaking down in, say, 30 minutes, the tablets can
release their micronutrient cargoes over a period of up to 6 hours. This
theoretically allows your cells to utilize a higher percentage of the absorbed
dose. Chewable tablets also contain more filler ingredients which reduces their
nutrient density. Sugars or other sweeteners may be added which of course adds
calories.
ü Individually-procured
ingredients: The Super Pak tablet manufacturing lab insists on individually
procuring all of its ingredients before blending and compressing them to form
tablets. This enables the lab to achieve superior quality control from batch to
batch.
ü Protection of
potency: Granulation, coating, the use of overages and other manufacturing
techniques help protect the potency of Super Pak’s long list of ingredients and
make sure that you get 100% of what is stated on the label every time you
purchase the product. Super Pak packets are made of an acrylic-coated
polypropylene film that has a low moisture-vapor
transmission rate (MTVR). The lower the MVTR, the greater the barrier to
moisture. The packets are sealed with a “4-fin seal” which offers another level
of protection to the micronutrient cargo inside.
ü Mineral chelates:
Super Pak contains multiple mineral chelates. The Super Pak tablet manufacturing
lab makes its own mineral chelates using a proprietary process involving
hydrolyzed proteins. Originally chelation involved administering a substance to
the body in order to remove a toxic substance, or reduce it to non-toxic
levels. Nutritional chelation is essentially a reverse of this. The theory is
that minerals that are chelated to the amino acid residues of hydrolyzed proteins
are more bioavailable.
ü Banned-substance-free
manufacturers: The Super Pak tablet manufacturing and packaging labs are free
of banned substances.
ü Convenient: Super
Pak packets can be taken anywhere at any time.
ü Cost-effective:
With a suggested retail price of only $40, the product is highly
cost-effective.
The plants are obtained in powder form
before being incorporated into tablets.
The top 2 personnel at the Super Pak tablet
manufacturing lab possess more than half a century of experience between
themselves. The founder of the lab is a pharmacist with licenses in several
states and training in chemistry and food science. Lab technicians are trained
to handle Super Pak’s enzymes very carefully prior to blending and compressing
them to form tablets. The enzyme molecules are coated both internally and
externally, i.e., on the outside of the tablet.
The box is not made of recycled materials.
It can, however, be recycled. BI encourages consumers to recycle all of their
empty supplement containers whenever possible.
The Super Pak is printed with non-toxic
soy-based inks. The box printer is Chain-of-Custody certified by the Forest
Stewardship Counsel. For more information, visit www.fsc.org.
Occasionally, sensitive persons may
experience stomach discomfort when taking vitamin or mineral supplements. This
may be more likely with the B vitamins, particularly if they are taken on an
empty stomach. It is advised that Super Pak be taken with food. The tablets and
softgels should be swallowed with water. Do not attempt to swallow all of them
at once.

Is Super Pak safe
for people with medical conditions?
Micronutrients are a natural and necessary part of the human

Can Super Pak be
used while preparing for a bodybuilding competition? What about a fitness or
figure competition?
Yes. Super Pak is
ideal for athletes who are preparing for any type of physique competition. The
fact that it contains super-dietary quantities of micronutrients and is free of
sugar or fat makes it very nutrient-dense indeed.
