Award-Winning Healthcare Executive Jeffrey Moore is on a Mission to Make Better Nutritional Supplements Available to Everyone
Laguna Beach, CA (PRWEB) March 29, 2016 -- After 35 years and winning over 200 awards in healthcare advertising, Jeffrey Moore quit. He has left what he now calls “Ill Care” to pull back the curtain, giving everyone access to the finest supplementation to optimize the lifestyle they choose. “Not all nutritional products are created equal” say’s Jeffrey Moore, who is featured in the November issue of Modern Luxury Magazine as this years ‘Modern Man’ for his accomplishments with Nutripy. As a veteran of healthcare advertising Jeffrey Moore constantly sorted through what was broken and came up with better solutions. Now that applies to the broken system for nutrition and supplementation.
The current problem is OTC (Over-the-Counter)supplements are not regulated by the FDA. Many of the OTC supplements found on the retail shelves are filled with chemicals, binders, fillers, dyes and unknown substances. And there are widespread cases of the active ingredients listed on the label not even being in the products. The OTC makers do not need to prove safety or effectiveness. “We really don’t know what’s inside the OTC supplements. 5 factories in China, which has been cited 20 times in the last two years for manufacturing violations, supply 90% of the supplement ingredients on store shelves and the FDA cannot inspect a single factory there”, says Jeffrey Moore.
There are superior products. Yet today’s distribution of pharmaceutical grade supplements is primarily through alternative healthcare practitioners. Some doctors seeking extra income have turned nutrition into a side business selling supplements out of their offices, even aligning with Multi-Level Marketing brands. While it's not clear how many health-care professionals engage in this practice, a survey published in March 2010 by the trade publication Nutrition Business Journal showed of 600 medical doctors, naturopathic physicians, chiropractors, nutritionists, and other practitioners revealed 76 percent sell supplements from their offices. That remarkable figure does suggest that a significant number of mainstream medical professionals are now vying for a share of the $31 billion-a-year U.S. supplement market. Yet nutrition is taught little, if anything at all in today’s medical schools.
So, why are people taking supplements? Most Americans want to be at their best to handle very busy lifestyles and as a result the supplementation industry is booming. Some consumers mistakenly view supplements as a way to make up for a poor diet. This trend has benefited the VMS (Vitamin, Minerals and Supplements) industry because many supplement purchases are the result of consumers self-directing their health regimens.
According to the CDC (National Center for Health Statistics) over one-half of the adult population in the U.S. uses dietary supplements. One of the fastest growing industries in the world is the nutritional supplement group, a part of the one trillion dollar wellness industry. Today’s market stands at $30 billion in revenue for just nutritional supplements alone in 2015 and it is projected to double that by topping $60 billion in 2021, according to the Nutritional Business Journal. Chef Jessica Leibovich, Master Chef of Nutripy say’s “consumers need to be directed into healthy food, fortified with the right supplements and being active.” Senior Vice President of Science at Nutripy, Tim Friday say’s “Too many healthcare professionals push a change of lifestyle that just isn’t right for the majority of people.”
