A letter from Arthur Andrew Medical:

Arthur Andrew is pleased to announce the arrival of our newest Syntol formulation.  Our objective with this product has and continues to be, to provide the most powerful enzyme yeast cleanse and blend of probiotics available.  Though we did not feel that there was anything lacking from our currently distributed formula, we did feel that we could easily improve upon it.  It has and will always be our goal to provide the most potent and clinically effective products available, and change is often the only way to achieve and maintain that goal.  However, you will notice that these particular changes were quite simple.  Simply put, we removed everything that did not directly contribute to the product's main objective, such as: Alfalfa, Papaya Juice Powder, Ionic Minerals, and Amla.  In their place, we were able to greatly increase the potency of our enzyme yeast cleanse, as well as the probiotic blend (from 3 billion to 3.4 billion CFU's per capsule).  We also replaced the FOS prebiotic with inulin, which we found to be a more suitable prebiotic in this formula.  Our spore-forming probiotic strain is B. subtilis, which is highly shelf-stable and now the most abundant strain in the formula.

On our new supplement facts panel, you may notice that we have increased the serving size from one to four capsules.  This is due to our efforts to comply with the ever-changing labeling guidelines for dietary supplements.  Per our dosage instructions on the label, 1 to 4 capsules should be taken three times daily between meals.  To comply with labeling guidelines, our serving size listed on the supplement facts panel must be the maximum recommended dosage, therefore four capsules is now listed as opposed to one.  We appreciate your business and value you as a client, so we are always open for suggestions on ways we can improve our products and service.

Thank you,

Daniel E. Curtain
COO

As you may (or may not) know, there are a lot of damaging things being said and written about Neprinol...one of our top-selling products, and what we believe to be the finest enzyme-based formula in the industry.  As an authorized distributor of Neprinol since its inception, we do our best to stay informed and proactively seek out the answers to the questions that many of us have.  The worst part about the entire situation is that it's confusing for you, the customer, who is trying to make the best purchase decision to assist with your health concerns...and when you're dealing with the high-priced enzyme industry, you want to make sure you're getting the biggest bang for your buck!

The following is an excerpt from a longer letter that can be found on the Arthur Andrew Medical blog page.  It was written by Justin Marsh, the President and Owner of Arthur Andrew Medical, the makers of Neprinol.

"Upon further investigation, we discovered Serracor-NK was being made to directly compete with our enzyme formula, Neprinol. Two of the main ingredients of Neprinol are the enzymes Nattokinase and Serrapeptase, which were only available as a blend marketed under the tradename SebKinase™ when we sourced our ingredients from Specialty Enzymes, in Chino, CA, whose parent company resides in India. The benefit of having these two enzymes mixed together in a blend are of little consequence to the effectiveness of the overall formula, there is just novelty in the fact that the blend is trademarked. It is easy to distinguish the quality of enzymes simply by testing them for activity. We voluntarily quit buying SebKinase™ due to sub-par customer service and inconsistencies in quality from Specialty Enzymes. Specialty Enzymes' products were also overpriced, and President Vic Rathi of Specialty Enzymes insisted on continually raising our prices. Arthur Andrew already empathized with its customers, and refused to extend these price increases to them during a recession. Another quality issue that Arthur Andrew encountered was that Specialty Enzymes was also particularly secretive about their quality control and testing methods. As a customer, we demand to know exactly what we are getting in our products. We found it especially difficult to provide quality control paperwork that is required for customs in many countries like Canada and Australia.  Specialty Enzymes complained constantly when asked to fill out simple quality forms, something that our other vendors provide us with regularly.

As a leader in the enzyme industry, Arthur Andrew Medical will continue to strive to improve our products as advances in research and technology are continually being made, and will advise our clients as much to avoid any misrepresentations by competitors."
