Quint-Essence is a completely unique blend of the highest quality and potency 'plant-derived' ingredients, found together in a whole-food supplement. Intending to create a new health standard with our products, Universal Formulas Quint-Essence is extremely effective in providing a daily nutritional foundation that is simplified, consistent and balanced supplementation. A super-simple nutritional protocol specifically formulated by Andrew Bruex, owner of Universal Formulas, for people on the go , like himself.

Quint-Essence is highly bio-available and efficiently assimilated into the cells due to the addition of our proprietary Tracite Delivery System (TDS), which has an extremely high fulvic acid molecular content and characteristics. Tracite is added to many of Universal Formulas products for the purpose of providing superior assimilation of the many nutrients being offered.

Quint-Essence is one in a series of Opti-Blends. The Opti-Blends concept provides engineered combinations of nutrients that address specific health goals. These products are packaged in a way to provide a simple and convenient delivery of nutrients at their optimal ratio. Our uniquely designed blends reduce the need to take numerous different supplements to achieve outstanding results. With our exclusive use of natural ingredients, these blends offer a more consistent and cost effective approach to supplementation.

We add a combination of 77 fulvic trace minerals, mineral compounds and mineral elements, as well as a blend of 'plant derived' enzymes to our products. This combination of natural vegetarian (vegan) fulvic minerals and enzymatic compounds provide the greatest bio-availability of supplemental ingredients known today.

The added enzyme activity in our formulations ensures that nutrients are properly digested. And the fulvic minerals, which carry 60 times their molecular weight in nutrients directly to cells, are the transport agents of our supplements. This combination is the 'one-two punch' that sets our products above and apart from all others.

Innergy is one of our most popular herbal combinations. Give your immune system a lift --- feed it Innergy.

A concentrated blend of high-quality, alcohol-free 4:1 herbal extracts( burdock root, sheep sorrel, rhubarb root and slippery elm bark powder ) formulated according to a traditional Ojibwe Indian formula. A suggested daily use of three capsules is approximately equivalent to 4 oz of the traditional tea form.

Our Vitamin C complex contains a composition of a 1:1 ratio of Ascorbic Acid to Citrus Bio-Flavanoids. Hesperidan, Rose Hips and Rutin are added to this blend, creating a superior anti-oxidant formula. It is especially important to take vitamin C daily, as it is used at a rapid rate and is not stored by the body.

Bioflavanoids are oestrogen-like compounds. Bioflavanoids act as hormone blockers any place in the body where there are excess hormome production which may cause cancer(s) such as breast cancer. Flavanoids are also strong anti-oxidantes found in foods such as citrus, soy, brocolli, apples and legumes.

The human body cannot produce Vitamin C on it�s own and it is necessary for a great many vital processes, including immune response function and vascular integrity. The need for Vitamin C is variable so the recommended daily allowance (RDA) is not going to fill everyone�s need for this essential vitamin.

Most experts agree that determining Bowel Tolerance (see below) is the best method to establish what amounts of Vitamin C your body requires for maximum protection. When your body is under stress, your need for Vitamin C is increased considerably. Vitamin C is not toxic and therefore, your body will tell you when you have taken enough. If you experience diarrhea or soft stools, it is a sign that your body has reached �Bowel Tolerance.� Once you reach BT (whether it is 1 gram or 20 grams) you can cut back to 75% of the dose that represents BT for you and then keep taking that dose EVERY DAY.

Keep track of the 4 daily doses (begin with 500 mg recommended) because you will be increasing your intake gradually until you find the amount that you need for maximum immune support. Vitamin C appears to be most effective in fighting disease when the dose is close to the bowel tolerance limit. This dosage information is important enough that it could literally save your life. Incidentally, excreted vitamin C is not a complete loss.

According to Nobel Laureate Dr. Linus Pauling, Vitamin C protects against urinary tract infections. He recommended using this laxative effect to reduce chances of developing colon cancer. The laxative effect of Vitamin C is said to be greater when the vitamin is taken on an empty stomach.

Dr. Irwin Stone, a pioneer in the use of vitamin C, recommended taking 1.5 to 2 grams (note: each of our tablets are 500mg or .5 grams) by mouth at the first sign of a cold and repeating the dose at 20 to 30 minute intervals until symptoms disappeared. He said this usually happened by the third dose.

To maximize it effectiveness, we recommend taking Vitamin C and E at separate times. We recommend taking your daily dosage of Vitamin E in the morning (it stores well in the body). Then take your BT level of Vitamin C, ideally at multiple doses throughout the day.

This product is considered hypoallergenic. Our Vitamin C contains only pure, crystalline vitamin C, without added corn starch, magnesium stearate, or other diluents or lubricants typically used by other companies.

Almost every disease, sickness or ailment can be traced to a mineral deficiency. ~Dr. Linus Pauling.

Tracite Liquid is a highly bio-available, iron-based source of 77 essential minerals and trace elements. Tracite is composed of 40 million year old organic plant matter derived from humic shale. The fulvic minerals are extracted from the shale using our proprietary pure water method, with absolutely no chemicals or acids used in the process of extraction. Tracite contains more electrolytes than most other products available on the market. The high fulvic acid content of Tracite gives it some unique electrical properties. Every cell in the body depends on fulvic, colloidal trace minerals and elements for that daily trickle charge of bio-electrical energy and independent tests have shown that Tracite has excellent conductivity. Tracite contains both ionic and colloidal particles. When combined with enzymes (see Flora-Zymes), the minerals and trace elements in Tracite form alkalizing detoxifying agents, which neutralize acid and other metabolic by-products, preparing them for elimination. Tracite contains the minerals and trace elements your body needs to keep toxins from accumulating. Some of the immediate benefits of taking Tracite fulvic minerals include increased stamina and endurance, improved mental clarity and physical well-being, and more beautiful skin, hair and nails. Tracite is the best iron supplement available and it greatly increases the bodies ability to absorb nutrients into the cells. It is the only mineral supplement of its kind in the world.
