Kirkman® offers this excellent, hypoallergenic formulation of Super
Nu-Thera® in capsules.
This formula was specially designed for those who have special
requirements and sensitivities. It offers the same potencies as other
popular Super Nu-Thera® products but without fillers, flavorings,
sweeteners or known allergens, in particular those commonly used in the
dietary supplement industry.
Super Nu-Thera® hypoallergenic capsules have the following features:
• Capsule shell is made from plant cellulose, not animal gelatin like other products
• No fillers are used
• No flavorings are used
• No sweeteners are use
• No preservatives are added
• No colorings are present
• Only vegetable grade magnesium stearate is used as a lubricant.
This product contains 25 mg of pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P-5-P) and 25 mg
of vitamin B-6 from pyridoxine hydrochloride. In addition, it contains
120 mg of magnesium from a citrate-glycinate-oxide blend and 175 mg of
calcium from a carbonate, chelate, citrate complex. All of the B-Complex
vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E plus all of the other minerals are
present in the same potencies as other Super Nu-Thera® products.
The small capsule used in the condensed version of Super Nu-Thera® is
not suitable for this product because of the volume of ingredients it
has to hold. Instead, Kirkman uses the larger, number “0” size
hypoallergenic capsule shell, which made of plant cellulose. This
formulation contains more vitamins and minerals than the condensed
version, therefore, its taste will be strong and hard to mask in juice
or foods. To avoid the strong taste, the best way to take this product
is to swallow it whole.
Kirkman’s Super Nu-Thera®: Its beginning
Super Nu-Thera® has been Kirkman's most popular dietary supplement since
its inception in 1967. The original Super Nu-Thera® was formulated by
Kirkman® at the urgent request of a researcher investigating special
nutritional supplements. His request was for a formulation with high
vitamin B-6 and magnesium content that tasted good so children would
take the product. The original form of Super Nu-Thera® was an orange
flavored powdered supplement. This classic is still available as our
Super Nu-Thera® Powder (310/454).
What is unique about Super Nu-Thera®?
Super Nu-Thera® is a multiple vitamin/mineral supplement featuring
vitamin B-6 and magnesium. Super Nu-Thera® also contains the rest of
the B-vitamins, vitamin C, the oil soluble vitamins E, A, and D (in many
formulations), as well as the minerals zinc, manganese and selenium.
Some forms of Super Nu-Thera® also may include calcium, depending on
whether that product’s particular formulation can incorporate the large
volume of calcium required. Forms of Super Nu-Thera® not containing
calcium may require individuals to use a calcium supplement if their
diet is not supplying the “Daily Recommended Value” of this important
nutrient.

Why might I choose a hypoallergenic formulation of Super Nu-Thera®?
Kirkman® offers hypoallergenic formulations that are specially designed
for individuals with special requirements and sensitivities. These
formulations contain no fillers, sweeteners, flavorings, colorings,
preservatives, or known allergens.
Why might I choose a powdered formulation?
Kirkman® Super Nu-Thera® powders suspend easily in liquids and can be
mixed in semi-solid foods. Powders provide an option for those
individuals unable to swallow capsules or caplets.
Why might I choose a liquid formulation?
Kirkman® Super Nu-Thera® liquids can be mixed easily in beverages or
semi-solid foods and come in a variety of palatable flavors. Liquid
formulations provide an option for those individuals unable to swallow
capsules or caplets.
Why might I choose a formulation without vitamins A and D?
Many individuals obtain supplementation of vitamins A and/or D from cod
liver oil or another source(s). For those individuals, Kirkman® offers
Super Nu-Thera® without vitamins A and D.
Why might I choose a formulation that contains P-5-P?
P-5-P stands for pyridoxal 5-phosphate. Formulations of Super Nu-Thera®
that feature P-5-P as part of the vitamin B-6 source are intended for
those individuals whose physician has determined that the usual form of
vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) is not being utilized
completely. P-5-P is the metabolically active coenzyme of pyridoxine,
and is an essential cofactor in many enzymatic reactions in amino acid
metabolism.
