Not a simple combination

• TAM formulas are a true synergy
• Ingredients are combined then extracted
  simultaneously together
• Not a one-juice-wonder or kitchen-sink type
  of product
• Randomly combining several ingredients does not
  achieve true balance
• 16 herbs/superfruits 4 fruit juices cannot be
  duplicated by label-piracy
• Sum of the parts Formula as a whole

Multi-Factorial Nature of Balance

• Meta-analysis of 68 trials with 232,606 subjects
• Treatment with beta-carotene, vitamin A, and
  vitamin E may increase mortality
• Many subjects had advanced disease (heart
  disease, cancer)
• indicating imbalance
• Interventions were unbalanced!
• High dose, synthetic, isolated antioxidants

• Estimated that 40-50 of all approved medications
  are based on natural products
• Pharmaceutical companies are beginning to combine
  single drugs into combination products
  (cholesterol, depression, blood pressure) and
  pursue combination therapy
• Novartis (Swiss, 37B) investing 100 million
  in Shanghai RD Center (Nov 2007) has already
  generated 1,000 potential natural compounds!
