Healright (Orlando, FL) has launched healright.com, the exclusive platform to deliver its micronutrient bars directly to consumers. The patent-pending micronutrient and fiber formula found in Healright bars was scientifically developed and clinically tested in a 15-year collaborative project with Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI), now a part of UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The core formula was shown in published clinical trials to improve a wide range of biomarkers linked to metabolic health and lower risk of chronic disease. Improvements included cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammation, insulin resistance, and even modest weight loss in just 8-weeks.
“This bar, with its 15 vitamins, 15 minerals, insoluble and soluble fibers, is uniquely positioned to provide positive health outcomes by addressing micronutrient deficiencies that are linked to a range of chronic illnesses,” said Bruce N. Ames, PhD a U.S. National Medal of Science recipient and senior scientist at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland (now retired), who led the team that developed the CHORI-bar.
“In addition to restoring vitamin and mineral adequacy, the second major goal informing the product development was very simple: Keep the gut as strong as possible,” explained another key member of the original research team, Mark Shigenaga, PhD. “Proper feeding of the gut wall is very important because not only does it make it stronger, but these nutrients help power the gut’s immune system needed to support a healthy microbiome. So, by providing those types of nutrients in the bar, you're helping to boost the physical strength and immunologic fitness of the GI tract, all of which is important for overall health.”
Healright Micronutrient Bars can be purchased as part of a subscription program, available in five flavors including Lemon Blueberry, Peanut Butter Banana, Chocolate Cherry Pomegranate, Caramel Apple Fig, and Dark Chocolate Blueberry. Each bar also contains essential vitamins and minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, fermentable fiber, and high polyphenol-containing foods.
