SALT LAKE CITY, UT - One of Eastern Idaho’s largest companies made a big announcement Thursday that will forever change the vitamin and supplement industry.

Melaleuca President and C.E.O. Frank Vandersloot unveiled a new product in front of thousands of excited customers.

“We’ve never announced any product as a big breakthrough. This is a breakthrough,” said Vandersloot.

For years, the company has been working with some of the world’s best scientists from George Washington University and the University of Iowa to come up with a product that will permanently change the vitamin and supplement industry.

“We think it’s going to make a big difference in the nutrition world,” said Vandersloot.

On Thursday, that product was revealed. It’s called Oligofructose Complex and it helps you keep anti-oxidants in your body.

Antioxidants fight off diseases and help you live longer and while they’re found in some foods, they’re also in mineral supplements that you probably take every day. But that’s where scientists have discovered a problem.

“As soon as you take them into the gut, they begin fighting and the mineral always wins and the antioxidant loses and is destroyed,” said Garry Buettner, Ph.D. of the University of Iowa.

The antioxidants are destroyed in the small intestine before being absorbed into your bloodstream. That leaves cells in your vital organs unprotected from millions of free radicals. Free radicals are tiny molecules that attack cells and anti-oxidants fight them off.

“We think that that’s pretty important to the scientific world,” said Vandersloot.

Melaleuca plans to publish its findings and go head to head with competitors. The company claims Oligofructose Complex is the best mineral supplement ever for absorbing antioxidants into the bloodstream and a patent is pending on the product.

It’s a finding Frank Vandersloot says will change the industry and make people healthier.

“It will make a lot of difference in people’s lives if they can get the right protection rather than the kind that they think they’re getting,” said Vandersloot.

The powerful Melaleuca EcoSense products are safer for the environment, and Safer for Your Home!

Dust, dirt, and grass stains are a fact of life–whether on your floors, furniture, or clothes! Many cleaners use harsh ingredients that rely on chemical reactions to eat away dirt. Unfortunately, these harsh chemicals also damage fabrics and surfaces as they clean. Melaleuca provides a safer, economical, and more effective solution for your home cleaning needs.Melaleuca’s scientists have spent years developing EcoSense, a line of cleaners with an entirely different philosophy—that you shouldn’t have to choose between effective cleaning power and the safety of your home or the health of your environment.

Safer, More Effective Cleaners
Rather than relying on harsh chemicals to break down dirt through chemical reactions, Melaleuca relies on natural solvents and enzymes to penetrate dirt and stains, and put them into solution (much like water dissolves sugar or salt) so they can be easily rinsed away.

The result? You can keep your fabrics and surfaces clean without the damage caused by caustic cleaners. Melaleuca’s EcoSense products are effective, safer, environmentally friendly, and economical.

More Concentrated Formulas
Concentrated formulas have been a Melaleuca hallmark since 1985—long before going concentrated was the “in” thing to do. MelaPower, for example, was 3 times more concentrated than Tide® for nearly 20 years. Even when Tide finally put on a 2x sticker, MelaPower was still more concentrated.

We could have called it good right there. But instead, we raised the bar yet again with the introduction of MelaPower 6x. This breakthrough, patent-pending, six times concentrated formula is the most concentrated of any laundry detergent available. And, like every other super-concentrated EcoSense product, it provides some important benefits customers can’t find in less-concentrated products.

Super-concentrated formulas eliminate unnecessary water, so less plastic is needed to get the same number of uses. This means fewer large, bulky containers. It also reduces the cost of shipping associated with moving all of that heavy water. Our customers are smart

enough to add their own water and that saves you money – in some cases up to 75% off the cost of leading grocery store brands, just for using a concentrated formula.

Reusable mixing spray bottles and pumps, standard with most EcoSense cleaners, also mean less plastic getting thrown away. And super-concentrated formulas simply make more ready to use cleaners. One bottle of Tough & Tender, for example, makes enough cleaner to fill 4 reusable spray bottles.
And, when the time does finally come to dispose of them, EcoSense containers are recyclable. Their concentrated, compact sizes make EcoSense cleaners easier to use and store, while reducing the impact on landfills and the environment.
