Tamanu Oil (sometimes called Kamani Oil) is a totally unique and highly effective, broad-spectrum, skin-care product.

Cold Pressed/Unrefined/Virgin

California Academy of Health's search for the most potent natural products has led us to the tropical island archipelago of Vanuatu where tamanu, an oil rich in antioxidants, is produced.

Tamanu, as it is known by native Tahitians, is a “sacred oil”  used for centuries to naturally treat skin irritations and promote wound healing and regeneration of new skin.  Tamanu oil also possesses natural antibacterial and antifungal properties and has demonstrated efficacy against various human and animal pathogens.

As early as 1918, French researchers investigated the unique topical benefits of tamanu oil.  Traditionally, the oil has been used by Pacific islanders on cuts, sores, burns, blemishes, rashes, bites and stings. Tamanu oil contains three basic classes of lipids: neutral lipids, glycolipids, and phospholipids.  Tamanu oil also contains a unique fatty acid called calophyllic acid, and a novel immune supportive and anti-inflammatory agent called calophyllolide which promotes the formation of new, healthy skin.  Tamanu is not only topically immune supportive, it is anti-inflammatory on the skin as well.  Modern applications of tamanu oil are in the forms of advanced skin care products, anti-wrinkle creams, and lotions.

Get Liquid Power Multi-V

Q: Dr. Ettinger,

I had a question regarding the Ultra Supreme Greens. I got the product because it said to take in morning preferably, so i got the capsules and it says 3, 3x per day… I have only been taking 3 in the morning… having breakfast, then doing juices (Anti-Aging, Acai Max, Goji Fusion) … I have other things (herbs) to take during the day. Should I be taking 9 capsules in the morning on an empty stomach?

Michelle

A: Michelle,

Take the Ultra Supreme Greens w/food for better absorption. You can divide it-up or take them all at one time – both ways are fine but take at least 6. You can also use them to calm the stomach down, as an antacid if the need ever arises.

Sounds like you have a great program going!

Sincerely,

Marcus Ettinger BSc, DC

Q: Dr. Ettinger

I have been mixing your Liquid Power Multi V with your Goji Fusion – at a ratio of 1:2 respectively.  Is it OK to mix these and take them together?  If so, could I also add in liquid Acai Max?  Would it be OK to mix the three items?

Thanks

Robert Griffin

A: Robert,

Yes, it is perfectly okay. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Marcus Ettinger BSc, DC

Later the same day: P.S. I definitely sense there’s something about your products (the one’s I’ve tried) which sets them apart from other similar products. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it. Please don’t fall into the trap of compromising to make more money. So many companies turn greedy and ruin themselves in the long run that it’s become an epidemic. Keep up the great quality!

Take care

Q: Hi i would like to know what type of bottling process your mangosteen juice goes through to get bottled and how you get the fruit here.  Please feel free to email me back with your response.

Thank you!

A: All of our juices are either blended with other “super-fruit” juices or stay as a 100% single varietal juice. All juices are then “flash pasteurized”. Bottles are then filled and before being capped, inert gas is injected into the neck to remove oxygen, and then sealed.

All of our juices, purees and pulps come to us, directly from the source, refrigerated in vacuum sealed, non reactive bags or containers.

To be honest, it’s the quality of the raw ingredients and the “flash pasteurizing” that sets us apart. All MLM juices (Freelife, Monavie, Xango, Seabu…) and the vast majority of competing company’s juices are produced at facilities like Aseptic Solutions in Corona, CA. The juices are ultra-heat pasteurized, another word for sterilized. There are no longer any biologically active enzymes present in the juices. Basically they are just flavored sugar water. What company’s do is to uses all the raw fruit research for their promotional material. Now the product appears to be a miracle beverage with almost mythical properties. If they preformed the research studies on the juices post-production, completely different results would be found.

The Acaí berry is not your regular berry fruit!  One of the reasons is its high antioxidant content. We are sure you have heard over and over that there is consistent evidence in research that diets rich in fruit and vegetables and other plant foods are associated with better health. Sound familiar? Probably. So why is Acai a great anti-oxidant?

Fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, which protect our bodies against chronic disease by decreasing free radical oxidative damage.  Our bodies are in constant attack by free radicals, which are a common by-product of normal metabolism.  Think of free radicals as individuals with too much energy and no where to put it.  So they are extremely active and attack everything in their path.  In our bodies, this translates to the damage of our cells and genetic material. In the long term, this may cause permanent damage that is irreversible (such as cancer). In our day to day lives, we are further exposed to high amounts of free radicals through increased physical activity, stress, pollutants, chemicals and toxins.  Antioxidants which are obtained through our diet act like scavengers, which seek and “relax” the free radicals.

Once the free radicals are “relaxed”, they do no further damage. So what kinds of antioxidants are in CAOH® Acai berries? The Acai berry is rich in anthocyanins, compounds that provide color to the fruits and serve as natural antioxidants. Those are the same compounds found in red wine.

However, CAOH® Acai berry juice has 10-30 times more. CAOH®’s certified organic Freeze dried Acai contains 70-210 times more! The richer the pigment color of the fruit, the more antioxidants it generally contains. One way to help you achieve a high antioxidant diet is to make sure your plate is very colorful.  Ensure that you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables at your main meals, and snack on a CAOH® Acai smoothie or other fruits and vegetables instead of various candies or chocolate.

The Acai berry’s purple pigment not only makes the fruit appealing to eat, but studies have shown that berry anthocyanins are beneficial in reducing age-associated oxidative stress (or the free radical damage). If berries can combat premature aging with 25 to 40 times less antioxidants than Acai, then just imagine what CAOH® organic freeze dried Acai can do!

The US food industry is now labeling the antioxidants in food with ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity).  Data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) suggests a serving of fresh fruit and vegetables has between 890 and 2,500 ORAC units.

Just one 5g serving of CAOH® organic freeze dried Acaí will provide you with around 4,695 ORAC units!

Dear Dr. Ettinger:

What are the ingredients in your lecithin? – 100% Non-GMO Soy Lecithin Granules
Does your lecithin contain any liquid lecithin or any soy flour? -  No Other Ingredients

What is the percentage of Phosphatidylcholine, Phosphatidylinositol, Phosphatidylethanolamine, Phosphorus and Potassium per serving: (below are approximate values)
Phosphatidylcholine (2,300 mg)
Phosphatidylinositol (1,400 mg)
Phosphatidylethanolamine (2,100mg)
Phosphorus (300mg)
Potassium (120mg)

Phosphatidyleanolamine (The spelling is wrong here and on Ferns Lecithin ingredient page.  Above is correct spelling). Based on this, I am assuming you are comparing ours to theirs.  Ferns is not a “Non-GMO” product.  As far as I am concerned, this is the main point in picking a lecithin.  Genetically Modified Organisms, crops and the products made from them contain herbicide (RoundUp) and pesticide residues and other nasty ingredients.  I would never ingest it or give it to my patients or family.

Do they contain any triglycerides, protein or calcium? -  No

Helen K.

I hope this helps.

Dear Dr. Ettinger,

Thank you so much for the previous info on the lecithin granules from CAOH.  My husband and I are now taking your product.

Q: I am wondering if soy isoflavones are naturally in lecithin granules, as I have been taking them for awhile and do not want to double up.

Thank you very much.

Helen,

You are welcome.

A: Lecithin does not contain isoflavones so please continue with the product you were previously taking.

E-mail me any time.

Sincerely,

Marcus Ettinger DC, BSc
