2. Vegetable Culture Product Base

One of the very first steps taken by Biotics Research Corporation was the development of our vegetable culture base to replace the usual and customary levels of inert fillers such as sugar, lactose and starch that were commonly used in the manufacture of nutritional supplements. Various plant culturing techniques were developed, tested, and refined in order to improve the biological activity of potential product bases. After much effort, the vegetable culture base, produced from non-soy legumes, was developed. Harvested at specific stages, our vegetable culture base was found to exhibit ideal characteristics for use as in nutritional supplements. The advantages offered by our "Vegetable Culture" base are numerous, and include the following:

• Biologically-active whole food in place of inert ingredients
• Improved and consistent disintegration, for improved and consistent assimilation
• Improved product stability by virtue of the antioxidant activity inherent in the Vegetable Culture
• Acceptable by strict vegetarians and vegans
• None of the adverse interactions commonly seen with other "fillers" such as lactose
• Allows for tablet and capsule production without or with only minimal use of lubricants such as silicon dioxide
