Whole Food Vital Nutrients -- Cherry Flavor!
By Book Glutton
Catalyn is a nutritional product that has been around since 1929. It was introduced by the founder, Dr. Royal Lee, DDS (a dentist and maverick in the field of nutrition) as his first product. The intention of this product is to supplement a person's diet with vital nutrients from whole food sources. These are not vitamins manufactured in a pharmaceutical or chemical plant. These are nutrients supplied in the manner they appear in nature. I have used the Standard Process Catalyn 360 Tabs for many years (still the same recipe after 80 years), but wanted to try this version.
They taste good! Although rated the same, nutritionally, this newer (1997) chewable version is a bit sweeter than the original and is flavored with natural cherry fruit powder, of course to target them for children. You can get more information on these on the Standard Process website.
In his historic work, Compiled Notes on Clinical Nutritional Products, Dr. Walter H Schmitt, DC, pg. 26., tells us that Catalyn "was designed to contain all the vitamins and trace minerals, both known and unknown. Because it is made from natural sources (liver, wheat germ, etc.) it contains all of the trace minerals found in nature as well as the major minerals such as calcium, iron, and phosphorous." What I find most surprising is what he says next, "Each time a new trace element is discovered, Catalyn is analyzed and the element is found to be present." He also adds, "The effectiveness of many products derived directly from nature is often due to the trace elements and enzymes contained therein." The presence of these he claims is due to the fact that they are "cold processed," which he explains briefly.

It is what it is....
By John Perry
Vitamins, like any other lifestyle are 90% psychological and 10% whatever else. I've tried many different vitamins from various stores and have finally set on Standard Process items. Why? Because my "voodoo" lady said I should. This same lady that helped my nephew through medical complications early in his life when "Western" medical professionals couldn't and were about to put a 6 month old under the knife for "exploritory" measures for lack of any other answers. A couple visit to "Eastern" philosophy, natural practitioners converted my nephew quickly to a normal life and converted my beliefs forever. Short of the long: Catalyn has a 90% positive rating for me and let the other 10% be whatever it is. I've never felt better as I approach my late 30's and still out-energizing my 4 children.
