[EP.16]Enzyme Secrets Unlocking the Key to a Longer, Healthier Life

Dr. Joel Rosen:All right, so today I’m joined by Jeff Owen. He has been an ASD enzyme US retail private label practitioner educator trainer since 2021. He’s worked in the natural industry for over three decades and I’m really interested to know Ask him about his experiences. And he represented a number of large supplement supplement manufacturers. And I told Jeff before we get started, we’d want to hear about sort of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly if he’s willing to tell us about all that. But without further ado, Jeff, thank you so much for being here today. Jeff Owen:Dr. Rosen, thank you so much for having me as your guest. I really feel privileged. Oh, good. Well, listen, Dr. Joel Rosen:I’ve had some guests in the past where their same position as you and I, and I’m always interested to hear about your experiences, and most importantly, what the listener can glean from that to help their own health journey and feel younger at heart and younger physically, mentally, emotionally. So Jeff, what tell me just give us sort of an overview of, why you got into this industry, you were telling me you have a sort of a unique background in your health journey. Jeff Owen:So in terms, in terms of the chronology, of how the company makes the enzyme and probiotic products, the raw materials themselves were made in Mumbai, India, and then they’re shipped to Chino, California, where there are four NS-certified manufacturing facilities, the first of which opened in 1985. And as you can imagine, what our company is committed to is rigorous rigorous testing. So the products are tested, tested, tested, and set at a GMP-certified facility. And then the fermentation, the extraction, the blending, the formulating all that is done at in Chino, California. And what I like about this company, Dr. Rosen is that they’re not trying to be all things to all people. In other words, this company, their, their, the mission of this company, is to be a pre-eminent science manufacturing company. And of course, the challenge for any company that’s involved with nutritional manufacturing, supply manufacturing, is to get the science, if you will, the pure science and apply it, you know, commercially, if you will, so that they’re linked together. And they were aligned. And I feel like of all the companies that I’ve had the opportunity to work with, in 30 plus years in the natural products industry, this company does it as well as anybody. Dr. Joel Rosen:Yeah, well, there, you said a lot there, which is, which is interesting. So a couple of things that I would want to touch upon is obviously enzymology. And that’s the purpose of our call today, and what that is and what enzymes are and how they differ from digestive purposes and systemic, like breaking down the purposes which we’ll get to in a second, I have seen that I’ve had another interview with the guests and talking about how some of these companies that were privately got sold to pharmaceutical companies and the concern with the I guess the goal of the company, does it change in terms of providing the best quality or are they trying to cut corners and get the cheapest product and make a higher profit. Also, the concern is that he did the other guests talked about how you get a trade-off, you can be darn sure that the the cleanliness of the lab and making sure that they are getting quality control in there is going to be top-notch, but at the same time is the products going to be top notch. So thank you for sharing your insight with your new company. Just before we get into the enzymes, and what they are one of the questions I like to ask guests is that we talk about supplements and the the purity of their products and the the emphasis that goes into the quality right from sourcing it themselves. I had the privilege of going through a lab and I liked that they teach this or they emphasize this to their sales reps because they need to know that their quality of the product that they’re representing is of the highest quality so that you feel good about what you’re promoting to other people. So with that being said, I had a chance to walk through a lab that is a supplement company that does the same thing or has the same emphasis. I guess the question to you Jeff is the they use the what’s the name of the just last off the top of my head but they will it is a way that they scan the products to fo photometry or how they Jeff Owen:Go to liquid chromatography or HPLC. Yes. Dr. Joel Rosen:So thank you. So maybe I’m sure they use that to tell our listeners what that is and how that’s able to discern the quality of the product with purities, or impurities if that’s being used or not, or also with another concern that I typically have is they’ll use a lot of flow through agents that will have some excipients in there that are told, Well, it’s not that much of a problem, or you shouldn’t worry about it, but in the reality is, if you’re ...
