ADA, Mich. (PRWEB) May 18, 2007 -- Quixtar (http://www.quixtar.com/about/) is pleased to announce that NUTRILITE® Concentrated Fruits & Vegetables supplements are now Kosher and Halal certified. Muslim and Jewish Independent Business Owners (IBOs) and customers can benefit from the value of NUTRILITE (http://www.quixtar.com/about/) Concentrated Fruits & Vegetables without straying from their religious beliefs.

NUTRILITE Concentrated Fruits & Vegetables supplements capture crucial phytonutrients from natural fruits, vegetables, and plants that are equal to the amount found in 10+ servings. According to a report by a leading medical journal in 2003, regular consumption of fruits and vegetables is essential for optimal health. Phytonutrients, like those found in NUTRILITE Concentrated Fruits & Vegetables, have also been shown to have many beneficial effects on the body.

Obtaining kosher or halal certification requires inspection and monitoring by appointed representatives from these communities. By implementing practices that follow their approved processes and observing rules concerning various ingredients, NUTRILITE is able to offer Jewish and Muslim Quixtar IBOs and their clients a wider range of supplement choices that comply with their religious requirements or dietary preferences.

Kosher practices are based on Jewish dietary laws that require strict adherence to rules for ingredients and processes by which products are manufactured. Even the equipment used to manufacture products must be supervised by a rabbi. There are more than 10 million kosher consumers in North America.

Halal practices are based on Muslim dietary laws. "Halal" is an Arabic word meaning "lawful" or "permitted." More than 9 million practicing Muslims in North America seek halal-certified products. Quixtar is proud to expand their nutritional offerings to serve customers who follow Halal laws.

Quixtar currently offers a number of Halal and Kosher certified dietary supplement and food products through the Nutrilite, TRIM ADVANTAGE™ and XS™ Energy brand lines. All Quixtar products are available exclusively through their Independent Business Owners.
