Digestive enzymes: Over the counter oral digestive enzyme supplements are a combination of proteases, which aid protein digestion; lipases, which aid in fat digestion; and amylases, which aid in carbohydrate digestion. These may be prescribed by a doctor in some cases, when the pancreas does not make enough digestive enzymes on its own. People are increasingly taking over the counter (“OTC”) digestive enzymes in lower doses to support general gut health. Essential fatty acids: Also called omega-3 fatty acids, essential fatty acids are important digestive chemicals that the body cannot make on its own. Our products under the Kirkman Brand include, but are not limited to, the following: . Supplements for Autism; . Essential Fatty Acids; . Oxytocin; . Vitamin B12; . Vitamin B6 and Magnesium; . Glutathione; . Melatonin; . Functional Mushrooms; . Probiotics; . Multivitamins and Minerals; and . Digestive Enzymes; . Antioxidants. . Amino Acids; P2i (prenatal) Brand We launched a certified prenatal vitamin in April 2024 for expectant mothers under the P2i by Kirkman brand. These vitamins have been specially formulated by our company to provide essential nutrients for both the mother and the developing fetus. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (“FIGO”) published a position statement about toxic chemicals and environmental contaminants in prenatal vitamins. FIGO’s recommendation from the October 2023 position statement highlights that patients should only consume, and clinicians should only prescribe, vitamins and supplements that have been independently assessed to make certain they do not contain contaminants. Manufacturers should be held to a standard of production that assures safety and minimizes contaminants and certification of all prenatal vitamins becomes the standard of care. The FIGO Committee report on Climate Change and Toxic Environmental Exposures brought together global scientists to review reputable reference sources for chemicals that have the potential to impact maternal and newborn health, including the USA Environmental Protection Agency, the European Union, and the California EPA. The group of experts recommended several approaches, including: 1. creating a list of toxic chemicals and contaminants that should be screened for in Prenatal Vitamins and reduced to de minimis standards; and 2. conducting assays of existing vitamins to assess ongoing risk to maternal and newborn health. This work can extend to personal exposure risk by offering women testing for the presence of potentially toxic environmental chemicals. Mass Spectrometry currently offers the most comprehensive measurement. This first publication of a list of toxic chemicals and contaminants represents the most comprehensive testing available at present but does not purport to identify or eliminate all potential sources of toxicity. We are currently the only certified prenatal vitamin in the market that aligns to the FIGO position statement. We have formulated and produced a prenatal vitamin called P2i by Kirkman. There are approximately 3.6 million pregnancies alone in the United States (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/births.htm) and the initial market focus for this product will be the United States with the expectation to expand globally since FIGO’s position statement reaches all countries. The P2i by Kirkman prenatal vitamin has been certified by The FORUM, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting low-toxicity standards for prenatal healthy products. The FORUM operates under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with FIGO, a globally recognized organization of obstetricians and gynecologists. This MOU establishes a shared objective to reduce environmental toxicity in prenatal products. . The certification process involves rigorous testing and evaluation to ensure compliance with The FORUM’s low-toxicity standards, which align with FIGO’s objectives for maternal and fetal health. These standards include: . Analysis of 24 Heavy Metals, ensuring levels are below stringent safety thresholds . Testing for the presence of 120 toxic chemicals, such as pesticides and endocrine disruptors, with strict limits to prevent potential harm . Utilization of ISO 17025-accredited laboratories for all testing to ensure reliability and reproducibility of results . Purity Labs, an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory, as directed by The FORUM, conducted testing, which confirmed the product’s compliance with The FORUM’s criteria. Based on this testing, The FORUM issued its certification, indicating that Kirkman’s prenatal vitamin meets its standards for low toxicity and safety. HempTown Naturals Brand All HempTown Naturals products are produced and sold in compliance with the US 2018 Farm Bill and the US Agricultural Act of 2014. Cannabidiol (“CBD”) and cannabigerol (“CBG”) are cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant. Both CBD and CBG are used in hemp derived products. These products are believed to help in treating certain neurodegenerative and inflammatory conditions(1). CBD CBD is the second most prevalent ingredient in cannabis. While CBD is an integral component of medical marijuana, it is derived directly from the hemp plant, both of which are the same species of Cannabis sativa L. One of the hundreds of components of Cannabis sativa L., CBD does not cause a “high” by itself. According to a report from the World Health Organization, “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential. To date, there is no evidence of public health related products associated with the use of pure CBD”(2). As reported by Forbes Health, CBD is applied topically or consumed through smoke inhalation or edible consumption. CBD interacts with neuroreceptors in your endocannabinoid system, which sends signals between your cells to help regulate your movement, mood, homeostasis, and immune system. Different studies have shown that CBD can offset everyday anxiety and depression(3). CBG CBG is another compound found in hemp which doesn’t have intoxicatingly psychoactive effects. CBG, often referred to by experts as “the mother of all cannabinoids,” is the cannabinoid from which other types of cannabinoids (including CBD) are derived, says Michelle Sexton, a naturopathic doctor who works at the Pain Trauma Institute in San Diego. “CBG is the first compound in the biosynthesis (the production of chemical compounds by a living organism) of the other cannabinoids,” she adds. CBG is available in many forms, including tinctures, gummies, capsules and topical creams and lotions. CBG is often coupled with CBD in these products because the two cannabinoids can provide complimentary benefits, such as decreasing inflammation and pain, says Fraser Smith, a naturopathic doctor, as well as assistant dean and associate professor at the National University of Health Services in Lombard, Illinois. CBD and CBG occur naturally in hemp extract which is the source of our cannabinoids(4). Golf Mellow Brand The Company has utilized existing product formulations with plans to introduce 12 different products under the Golf Mellow brand.
