Many parents and professionals asked Kirkman® to formulate a hypoallergenic version of Super Nu-Thera® powder. We worked on such a formulation for a long time, but because a hypoallergenic formula cannot use flavorings or artificial sweeteners, making such a product reasonably palatable was a challenge.
After years of testing and numerous prototypes, we finally were successful at developing an excellent hypoallergenic Super Nu-Thera® powder that tastes pretty good and suspends in various liquids extremely well. In fact, the ease in suspending is a great improvement over past Super Nu-Thera® powders that left a residue. This product incorporates all of the latest clinical advances including the biochemically active form of folate, folinic acid, and iodine. For those individuals unable to swallow capsules or caplets, this product offers another choice in a hypoallergenic formulation.
Kirkman’s Super Nu-Thera®: Its beginning:
Super Nu-Thera® has been Kirkman's most popular dietary supplement since its inception in 1967. The original Super Nu-Thera® was formulated by Kirkman® at the urgent request of a researcher investigating special nutritional supplements. His request was for a formulation with high vitamin B-6 and magnesium content that tasted good so children would take the product. The original form of Super Nu-Thera® was an orange flavored powdered supplement. This classic is still available as our Super Nu-Thera® Powder (310/454).
What is unique about Super Nu-Thera®?
Super Nu-Thera® is a multiple vitamin/mineral supplement featuring vitamin B-6 and magnesium. Super Nu-Thera® also contains the rest of the B-vitamins, vitamin C, the oil soluble vitamins E, A, and D (in many formulations), as well as the minerals zinc, manganese and selenium. Some forms of Super Nu-Thera® also may include calcium, depending on whether that product’s particular formulation can incorporate the large volume of calcium required. Forms of Super Nu-Thera® not containing calcium may require individuals to use a calcium supplement if their diet is not supplying the “Daily Recommended Value” of this important nutrient.
