The first time ever offered to the public

These products were only sold exclusively to dental offices until now. Pharmaden products were created in 1998 exclusively for Dentistry. A double blind placebo study was completed at Loma Linda University Dental School. Results of the study can be found at yourcelebritysmile.com under Loma Linda study on the home page. Comendium--Dentistry's peer reviewed magazine featured Pharmaden as far back as May 2001. Dentistry Today voted Pharmaden as one of the top 100 products in 2004. Dentistry Today (May '05), Dental Economics, Dental Products Report, RDH magazine, and others featured Pharmaden products in their magazines. Hundreds of dental offices and thousands of patients use these products. Many thanks to those dentists who made favorable remarks to Pharmaden and online about Pharmaden products. Please refer us one dentist or friend so twice as many people can benefit.

Pharmaden products are different than most products that can be bought at the local pharmacy or store. The grape seed extract that we use is very unique. It is distilled in a specific way so only low molecular weight esters (the best absorbed) are used. Grape seed extract is a very powerful anti-inflammatory. It also has antioxidant properties that are 20 times stronger than Vitamin C and 50 times stronger than Vitamin E. Research shows that most people that have gum disease are very low in antioxidants. Why not use quality antioxidants and antiinflammatories? We use highly absorbing calcium citrate and the proper ratio of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K for the most effective calcium absorption. We use natural Co-Q10 (ubiquinone)-not synthetic- for the best absorption. Co-Q10 is also an anti-inflammatory. We use Pepper Nigrum because it is a vasodilator and improves absorption of Vitamin C and Co-Q10 by 37% according to research. We, at Pharmaden, don't mind paying more for our products so that we are consistently able to provide you with the best absorption and quality nutrients available. We have spent much time and expertise in researching our nutrients so we are able to bring a quality product to Dentistry.The end result --- better health for our patients.

Most dentists advise patients to take Periotherapy and Osteotherapy as an adjunct to scaling and root planning for the first 60 days to help build the patient's immune system and to aid in bone remineralization . Healthy patients take Periocare and Osteotherapy on a daily basis to maintain periodontal(gum) wellness.

Now for the really exciting news - keeping your gums healthy and eliminating in flammation may help to save lives . According to Dr Mayo of the Mayo Clinic "If a person can take care of their teeth and gums they can extend their life by at least 10 years". C-reactive protein is produced by the liver in response to chronic inflammation. According to the New England Journal of Medicine C-Reactive protein is a better indicator of a future heart attack or stroke than cholesterol. Half of the people that die of a heart attack have normal cholesterol!!! Time Magazine, USA Today, and Life Extension recently wrote some great articles on the dangers of chronic inflammation. At least 75% of Americans have some stage of periodontal (gum)disease (chronic inflammation). If your dentist diagnosed you with having gum disease, take a high sensitivity C-reactive protein blood test before starting the dentist treatment so you may evaluate your C-reactive protein level.

There are at least 200 million people that have chronic bleeding gums/halitosis whom dentists can help. Heart disease and stroke are the two biggest killers in the US. Please tell other dentists to get involved in using Pharmaden products.

All patients should check with their Physician before taking any supplements

A few features about Pharmaden products:
  1. Periotherapy has 100mcg of B12 for every 1000mcg of Folic Acid to prevent the possibility of masking pernicious anemia
  2. Echinacea's potential to cause autoimmunity is only anecdotal. It is prudent for us to consider this possibility but by no means exclusive. A search of Medlines 15 million citations found only 3 articles and 2 patient cases indicating any clinical association between Echinacea and Autoimmune disease. Since the articles point out that 50% of patients take vitamins and herbs for most conditions, including MS, Lupus, DM, etc, very few patients actually experience adverse effects. However if you have any disease or condition and are not feeling well to stop the vitamins immediately and check with your physician.
  3. CoQ10 should be taken by patients taking any Statin drugs because all Statins inhibit CoQ10, which could lead to Congestive Heart Failure. Additionally, CoQ10 has been hypothesized to interact with coumadin, but in the one clinical trial that has been performed, a negative effect was not shown.
 
  • Those who are allergic to flowers of the daisy family should take Echinacea with caution.
  • There are no know contra-indications to the use of Echinacea during pregnancy or lactation, but caution should be taken and the patient/physician should approve.
