New testing tool puts a dent in cranberry adulteration

CBD is shifting the medical marijuana landscape
Regulatory breakthroughs and product innovation feed an industry on the move
A decade ago, no cannabis-related businesses were so much as advertising their presence. Today a diverse constellation of cannabis companies is flourishing in a completely above-ground industry: industrial hemp for everything from car parts to textiles, medical marijuana and bona fide recreational dispensaries, and CBD supplement outfits selling their goods in a notably broad array of sales channels—online, doctor’s offices, and in hundreds of brick-and-mortar retail outlets nationwide, including the dispensaries.
Unremarkable but exceptional
Supplements sales growth isn’t big, but changes could be
Closing in on $39 billion, the supplement industry revealed a kind of resilience in 2015, but a resilience that is both unremarkable in the broad view and perhaps counterintuitive in the finer points.
Overall, NBJ estimates the market grew 5.9 percent to $38.8 billion in a year punctuated by a steady stream of negative headlines. That growth may seem a small uptick from the 5.1 percent in 2014, but, against the assumptions of many, the categories that took the most heat also showed the most growth.
Profit in pollen
Barry Bortnick
Small market gets big buzz
Blame it on a Spice Girl’s tweet, millennials seeking the trendiest health foods, or aging baby boomers searching for the fountain of youth. In any case, bee pollen—the superfood honeybees collect during pollination to feed their colonies and queens–is seeing a significant spike in growth.
From 2001 to 2015, overall bee pollen sales more than doubled. The future looks just as healthy with revenues expected to nearly double again by 2020.
Downturn diverted
Dan Fost
Herbs survive New York attorney general assault to emerge as strong category in 2015
It turns out it takes more than a politician hammering a handful of herbs to have an impact on the industry.
Even though New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman got himself plastered across the media when he went after four big retailers for selling adulterated versions of eight herbs—an accusation that later lost some oomph when the science behind it was questioned—the industry itself escaped any serious consequences. Sales for 2015 grew 7.7 percent, one of the strongest years in the past decade.
In a mellow tone
Lisa Marshall
Melatonin enters a sleepy phase
You can now spray it on the back of your neck, drop it on your tongue, and chew it in a raspberry-flavored gummy. But despite continued innovation in the melatonin market, the bitter truth is this: The country’s favorite sleep supplement has hit a slump.
A new take on the multivitamin
Diversify and specialize is the key to brand success
Has the demise of the multivitamin been overstated?
Multivitamin sales are not far above flat for 2015—and that was better than the year before—but reading too much into that may be a mistake. It could mean that consumers are simply getting their nutritional requirements from a more diverse product base and marketers are rolling out more targeted formulations that veer from the catch-all “multivitamin” SKU.
Letter From NBJ: Navigating By Numbers
It might be nice to say a fresh breeze has supplement makers trimming their sales for a steadier course across the all too choppy waters of public perception and media misdirection. It’d be nice to say that reforms and pushing self-regulation past lip service will steady that new course.
But the truth is the supplement industry remains a rather random flotilla of ships, boats and skiffs, and many are navigating without a compass to ports unknown.
The problem, many insiders agree, is a matter of numbers.
The Amazon enigma
Can supplement companies control their brand in the “world’s biggest mall”?
Amazon is not the 500-pound gorilla.
It’s an army of incredibly stealthy 50-pound gorillas with ninja skills working in the world’s largest shopping mall—a mall packed with a multitude of individual stores, except the shoppers don’t always know they are in a different store because they walked through the same set of doors marked “Amazon” to get there.
Essential oils find their way
After only 2,500 years, essential oil sales take off
In the business of natural products, the right-place-right-time formula has several other requirements: right product, right message and, perhaps most importantly, right business model. “Right” need not mean “new” to bring explosive success. Take essential oil giant, dōTERRA, which distributes age-old products through a Tupperware model—not exactly the makings of category disruption.
Rough seas for krill
Dan Fost
Sales suffered along with other omega-3s, recovery is less certain
Sales of krill oil—once a high flyer as interest in omega-3s soared—have fallen to earth, but with sales numbers telling only part of the story, it’s still not clear what shot them down.

Aloha all, this is a VITAL IMPORTANT VIDEOS SERIES and its free.This is a eye opening Lecture series for all people and ages to watch and understand about the” Miracle of Fertile Eggs”. Not dead infertile sick eggs- We are going to use real fertile eggs.
Please see part 1 and 2 first to understand the mini lectures before we actually show the protocols, practices and principles.
Here is where I do the protocols of this re-generational food therapy.
Learning and practicing terrain modification protocols, practices and principles are the key to many ailments in life.
10’s of thousands of people around the world have upgraded there households with www.earthshiftproducts.com and www.eartheracademy.com
Most of us have never had a real live fertile egg. The fertile egg is a ”Miraculous Transitional” food, along with hemp products , coconut oil and super-foods when we stop eating flesh and drinking blood these are great substitutes.
You must have your own chickens and really love them and take care of them in a way you would want to be taken care of and the food you would want to eat too. If you cannot have your own chickens then trust someone that is going to grow the miracle of life for you.
Even if you are a vegan, vegetarian or flesh eater you should watch this video series. We are not killing any animals or creatures here as I will point out in this video series.
The egg has been demonized for cholesterol… which is pure bunk !
The ”fertile egg” once fertilized takes 7 days for the egg to get a heart I eat them on the 1st to the 4th day before they become a live biological entity that is truly alive with the heart beating ready to be born in the next 14 days. The egg takes 21 days to hatch and be ready for life.
These eggs are full of live stem cells and GH or growth hormone. Once the egg gets an umbilicus on the 6th day I will not eat them.
The Fertile EGGS are full of the miracle food your body and brain want is lecithin and cholesterol.
We need to feed out brain and nerves oils, lecithin, cholesterol, MCT oils, minerals etc for body and mind maintenance and regeneration.
Read this book eye opening book on the truth about Cholesterol called
”The Myth about Cholesterol”
