Men's Health News and Information


2004 Vity Awards
The industry's leading products.

Every year Vitamin Retailer, The Dietary Supplement Industry's Leading Magazine, polls its readers for the top selling and best new products available. The results represent the products that consumers vote for with their purchases.

We were excited to see that Wellfx.com carries the majority of the products voted number one, in addition to plenty of number two's and three's.

Of special interest is Garden of Life 's Primal Defense, a whole food probiotic, which was voted “Best New Specialty Supplement.” Primal Defense contains 14 species of Homestatic Soil Organisms (HSOs) with naturally occurring live enzymes, vitamins and minerals designed to optimize the function of the digestive, bowel, and immune systems. These healthy microorganisms help devour undigested matter, and eliminate yeast, parasites, and bad bacteria from the intestines.

On a similar note, Source Naturals' Essential Enzymes was voted best “Indigestion Remedy,” along with American Health's Super Papaya Enzyme at number two. Enzymes are essential for digesting food, stimulating the brain, providing cellular energy, and for repairing all tissues, organs, and cells. Digestive enzymes break down food particles for storage in the liver or muscles. That stored energy is later converted for use when necessary. A high quality digestive enzyme, such as Source Natural's Essential Enzymes, will contain all of the major enzyme groups – amylase, protease, and lipase.

Nature's Plus took first place for 11 products! Animal Parade children's chewable vitamins were awarded, once again, with first place in the Children's Vitamins and Minerals category. Animal Parade supplies the vitamins and minerals kids need for proper nutrition with a great fruity taste they enjoy. Each chewable tablet supplies 16 vitamins and 8 minerals, as well as nature's most healthful whole foods, including spirulina, carrot, broccoli, whole brown rice, spinach and beet greens.

Another popular Nature's Plus product, Spiru-Tein shakes, were awarded first place for “Functional Food: Soy Foods.” Spiru-Tein shakes, available in a wide variety of flavors, have been a customer favorite on Wellfx.com since the day we added the product to our inventory. Of the customers who have chosen to post a review of the product, three have given it 5 of 5 stars, saying such great comments as, “Spirutein tastes absolutely amazing AND it is low in calories compared with other brands.” “Delicious.” And last but not least, “Spiru-Tein is the best shake on the market.”
