A new study in the Journal of Pediatrics recently outlined some important news concerning getting sufficient dietary vitamin D during pregnancy.  Being pregnant comes with increased chances of low energy levels, depression, and an increased incidence of colds and flu viruses.

Since pregnancy means restrictions from many over-the-counter medications, the best “medicine” for avoiding health complications is prevention.  A simple, yet highly effective way of protecting yourself during this period is to increase your intake of vitamin D.

Many other companies have attempted to copy the Super Nu-Thera™ formula since Kirkman® introduced it in 1987.   We would not have made this product but for the esteemed, late Dr. Bernard Rimland whose research indicated that a particular combination of nutrients would help his son and others like him.

Dr. Rimland wrote to dozens of nutritional supplement companies to plead his case for formulating Super Nu-Thera®.  Kirkman® was the only vitamin company that agreed to help him make the product.  Over the years, Kirkman® and in particular, the late Ken Humphrey and Dave Humphrey, its owners, developed a great respect for Dr. Rimland’s vision in the area of certain special needs.  Many of Kirkman’s nutritional supplements were developed with the guidance of Dr. Rimland.

Super Nu-Thera® has a high concentration of vitamin B-6 combined with magnesium and 15 other active ingredients.  It took Kirkman® years of product development to produce a palatable product that kids would take.  The original Super Nu-Thera® formulation was actually a black goo that tasted bad but parents gave it to their kids anyway.

Today Kirkman® offers Super Nu-Thera® in many forms including capsules, caplets, powders, and liquids so that our customers can find a Super Nu-Thera® with the taste and texture that’s right for them.

With vitamin supplementation, no one product fits all.  Kirkman® also offers the Nu-Thera® line, Super Nuthera’s sister products with less vitamin B-6 and in a more absorbable form for those with increased hyperactivity.

Over the years, Super Nu-Thera® and Nu-Thera® products have been used by thousands of families around the world.  Kirkman® can’t tell you if the imitation products work, however, we can say that we often hear reports, like Teri’s (see article above) about Super Nu-Thera® from grateful customers.
