Hello Everone,

 

I'm Pete Hitesman, owner of Relentless Improvement. I want to thank the many Imminst/LongeCity readers and members who over the years chose to do business with Relentless Improvement, and welcome those of you who have not already visited the site to do so. Many of you remember RI as a long time sponsor of ImmInst. There is info about RI on our About Us page for those who wish to check it out. There have been a LOT of adjustments to pricing over the past few months, if you haven't shopped the site in a while, now would be a good time to revisit

 

CoA's are in progress for new lots and new products, please allow a couple weeks for those to get posted. Many of you already know my business may well have pioneered the public disclosure of CoA's tied by lot number to a finished product, generated from USA based, FDA registered analytical laboratories.

 

Here's some backstory on a product development you might enjoy- The new Relentless NOOPEPT product was intended to be used and labeled as a sublingual tab, using erythritol instead of sucralose as the sweetening agent (some folks avoid sucralose). I specc'ed the labels and put them into production based on this. Well...in working with my bottler (FDA registered, cGMP, 50 years in the business) we discovered the raw material was so vile tasting it would take a huge amount of sweetner, flavoring and excipients to make it remotely palatable. You'd wind up with a giant tablet which is mostly excipient! Not good. So the sublingual tablet became...just a very small tablet   I made up new labels to reflect this and the added glaze (blocks raw material flavor unless you bite the tab).  Now you know, when you read the Other Ingredients of: Maltodextrin, Erythritol, natural berry flavor, stearic acid, vegetable stearate, cellulose glaze...why they are what they are. The brave and taste bud challenged can still use it sublingually of course, but it's now labeled as a tablet. PS- I'm personally not a strong 'racetam responder, however the NOOPEPT provided me with a very noticible positive effect. It's a very interesting material.

 

There is a sell-sheet attached to this post on the new Relentless Improvement CurcuWin Curcumin, I am super stoked about this product. No other manufacturer has used this product in a formulation. Tie-in's between raw suppliers and manufacturers preclude great new materials from initially gaining traction. I have no ties to any manufacturers therefore I was free to make this introduction to my customers.

 

There have been a lot of product line-up changes over the years and there are plenty more changes to come. Newly added and in-the-pipeline items under the RI label include:

 

Acetyl-L-Carnitine: http://supplements.r...rnitine-p6.aspx

New Relentless Improvement brand NOOPEPT: http://supplements.r...opept-p379.aspx

Newly reformulated, higher potency Relentless Improvement brand Iodine/Iodide, now with 16.75mg Potassium Iodide providing 12.5 mg elemental Iodine. Slow-release formulation: http://supplements.r...odine-p297.aspx

New Relentless Improvement brand Curcumin as 100% CurcuWin®. Revolutionary bioavailability, documented reletive absorption 46x that of other curcumin supplements. Shipping approx 8/22: http://supplements.r...span>-p380.aspx

New Relentless Improvement brand R-Lipoic Acid | Na-R-ALA 100mg 60 vegecaps. Shipping approx 8/31: http://supplements.r...ecaps-p378.aspx

Newly reformulated Relentless Improvement brand EGCG, now with *one* 670mg capsule providing >664mg polyphenols, >606mg total catechins and >407mg EgCG! Most highly refined product on the market (that I know of). Standardized to 98%+ polyphenols,  <.335mg caffeine per capsule. Solvent-free, water extraction process. Shipping approx 9/5: http://supplements.r.../egcg-p338.aspx

 

A complete listing of current Relentless Improvement brand supplements.

 

 

Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Alpha-GPC 300mg elemental per capsule.

1% Carnosine Eye Drops

Centrophenoxine

Curcumin (as CurcuWin)

EgCG Green Tea Extract

Galantamine

Idebenone

Iodine as Potassium Iodide

Lithium Orotate

K2 MK-4 Menatetrenone

NOOPEPT

Oxiracetam

Phenibut

Picamilon

Piracetam

NaRALA

Sulbutiamine

 

The bad news is that I have no coupons to offer, the good news is that's because everything has been adjusted to "every day low pricing" and many prices are now lower than what they were for the previously best quantity discounts. So no need to remember a coupon and no feelings of regret because you found a coupon somewhere a day after you placed your order (what usually happens to me).

 

I do not frequent the forums, please, if you have a question or comment don't post it here, just email me directly at pete@relentlessimprovment.com and if I'm in my office you'll get a reply usually within an hour..

 

Cheers,

Pete

PS- International Customers:

 

Relentless Improvement ships worldwide. UK, Canadian and Australian orders ship most every day. I've never heard of a customs problem to any of this locations, transit time varies from 3 days to 3 weeks with 6-8 days being average, the determining factor being how backed up customs is at the destination. 

 

Shipping Method is your choice of US Postal First-Class with basic tracking and US Postal Priority which offers more detailed tracking and quicker transit. Our shopping cart provides you with real-time specific shipping cost based on method, destination, and order weight.

 

Our cart also offers the ability for you to choose order/shipping pricing in your preferred currency and accepts PayPal for international customers who do not have a debit/credit card.

 

Bottom line- order conveniently and with confidence.

[psychenaut]

Everything noted above now in stock and shipping:

 

EgCg Green Tea Extract - *Updated Formulation* For those seeking the most active material with the least bulk (fillers/leaf) this is your product. There may be a more pure, higher-standarized content EgCG extract available to the public but I havent found it. Some folks use this product for very specific health conditions, you know who you are and what the conditions are, and I'd invite you to take a look at the new RI reformulated product and see if it meets your needs.

 

*Per capsule*

Green Tea Leaf Standardized Extract (Camellia sinensis)(Leaf, dried, 100% natural) 670 mg *
Polyphenols 664 mg *
Total catechins 606 mg *
Epigallocatechin gallate (EgCG) 409 mg *
Caffeine 0.335mg

 

Water based extraction means no chance of residual solvents which can occur in other Green Tea Extract products. This newly reformulated product is encapsulated with NO added excipients.

 

The new RI Brand NaRALA R Lipoic Acid is in stock and carries a CoA specifically testing for residual solvents. The verdict: free of metals and residual solvents other than the amount of ethanol (like drinking alcohol) (811ppm) you'd find in a bottle of orange juice. The test was on the raw material before it was encapsulated, so that trace amout is already likely evaporated off. In eight years I've never seen a 3rd party residual solvents test on a R-Lipoic Acid product?

 

Most readers of this forum are well educated and aware of the Ames/Hagen Lipoic Acid/ALCAR research. The combo rejuvenated their old rats in such stunning fashion they decided to develop a nutritional supplement business and product based on it- Juvenon. There are a very few materials I personally choose to use (an otherwise healthy, middle-aged guy) on a daily basis, but my current regimen includes the new RI brand NaRALA lipoic Acid and RI brand Acetyl-L-Carnitine product in combination which offers me the benefits they discovered years ago (at a way lower price than other brands). Both of these are at very compelling introductory pricing. Try the combo yourself, see if you feel the immediate difference?

 

I've also been using for more than a month now the new CurcuWin® Curcumin product. All the great benefits of high-dose curcumin with none of the possible/common drawbacks such as body odors, skin coloring and diarrhea. That one we were also able to do with NO excipients ("other ingredients").

 

The new Relentless Improvement brand 200 tablet, 130mg Lithium Orotate is at an introductory pricing, stock up now and save.

 

In the pipeline are a 3000mcg Hydroxocobalamin (Hydroxy) B12 sublingual tab, and another reputed "life extending" product that is quite popular :-) Update in a few weeks, until then thanks as always for your trust and support!

I've had some recent customer contacts with questions about the new Relentless Improvement brand Curcumin with CurcuWin. Longecity folks might find my reply to be *very* interesting: Pete's Place blog, CurcuWin Curcumin vs Longvida

 

[psychenaut]

Finally...the new Relentless Improvement brand Hydroxocobalamin B12 (sometimes known as "Hydroxy B12") is in stock.

 

*2000mcg x 90 sublingual tabs

*NO added flavorings, colors or sweeteners - excipients consist only of what was absolutely necessary to form it into a tablet (maltodextrin/veg stearates)

*Kept under refrigeration from raw material until shipped to you.

*Great price!

 

The fact is Hydroxobalamin B12 ("hydroxy" B12) degrades over time if not kept between 2-8c (36-46f). No other manufacturer/distributor of Hydroxy B12 discloses that fact and you wind up with buying a product of unknown and potentially zero potency. Even Cyanokit manufactuer (prescription cyanide antidote kit containing hydroxocobalamin) had pushback from users regarding their claims as to shelf life. Relentless Improvement pharmaceutical-grade raw material is shipped to us from the manufacturer under cooling packs, tableted and bottled under specially controlled cool conditions, and immediately placed in a freezer at 0f for finished product storage before delivery to you. This process insures product freshness and potency so that you receive a fully active B12. This is the freshest, most potent hydroxocobalamin you can buy. Product is fully stable for up to several weeks in transit. Please refrigerate/freeze upon receipt to preserve full potency.

 

All other manufacturers of hydroxocobalamin add sweeteners and flavorings. My philosophy is, it's not candy and why add what is not necessary or beneficial? The material itself if flavorless and the maltodextrin (necessary for tableting) is naturally slighly sweet and quite pleasant tasting. Relentless Improvement B12 is free of any added flavorings/sweeteners.

 

One supplier of a popular B12 product notes on their ingredients label "magnesium (as C16 and C18 alkyls)". For those that care to pull the curtin back from what I consider disingenous wording, that's Magnesium Stearate. There is nothing, at all, wrong with mag stearate as an ingredient, but no need to try and make people think it's not there.

 

Symptoms of B12 Deficiency:

- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Memory loss
- Cognitive functioning problems
- Loss of appetite
- Shortness of breath
- Beefy, red, smooth and sore tongue
- Sore mouth and/or bleeding gums
- Numbness and tingling of hands and feet (neuropathy)
- Poor sense of balance
- Depression
- Confusion
- Insomnia
- Vision problems
- Loss of hearing and tinnitus

B-12 deficiency can be caused by other health conditions which interfere with normal B12 absorption, these conditions include:

- Pernicious anemia
- Vegan or vegetarian diets
- Surgery that has bypassed the stomach of ileum
- Certain medicines such as metformin or proton pump inhibitors.
- Digestive disorders such as Crohn's, celiac disease, small intestine bacterial overgrowth

Hydroxocobalamin has a high affinity for cyanide. It pulls the cyanide out of the mitochondria of the cell and combines with it to form cyanocobalamin, which is then excreted in the urine. In 2006 hydroxocobalamin was approved by the FDA as an antidote for cyanide poisoning.

 

Relentless Improvement brand Hydroxocobalamin B12 is in stock and shipping now.
