This month Dr. Mercola explains the benefits of his new, nanotechnology sprays that make dietary supplementation easier than ever.

SWANSON: Dr. Mercola, thank you for talking with me today and for sharing these fantastic new supplements with our valued Swanson customers. Tell us what is so significant about this new nanotechnology delivery system.

Dr. Mercola: It’s my pleasure, Lee. I couldn’t be more excited about this new way to take dietary supplements. Nanotechnology is the wave of the future, and we’re just seeing the beginning of its impact.

The goal of nanotechnology is to reduce matter to tiny particles, literally only nanometers in size. This is being done in all types of industries, but most notably in the biological fields where small “nanoparticles” can make a big difference. Theoretically, the smaller the molecule, the easier it can enter the body.

Our new nanotechnology nutrient sprays were developed on this premise and are produced using a patented technology that incorporates nutrients within nano-sized droplets of natural water-soluble solutions. This makes the nutrient highly absorbable and fast acting. But what’s even more exciting to me is the use of Molecular Dispersion Technology™ that ensures an equal measured dose with each spray. There’s no guessing, no uncertainty. And there’s no more wondering whether that tablet or capsule is going to dissolve properly in the gut. You spray, you swallow, and your body receives the intended nutrition quickly and efficiently.

SWANSON: You mention the question about absorption with capsules or tablets. Is this a big concern for people?

Dr. Mercola: I think it can be, and you know we always hear about the vinegar test and whatnot (which of course doesn’t work and does not reflect true absorption). But beyond that, our new nanotechnology sprays offer a really important alternative to a specific group of people—the 2 out of every 10 of us who simply cannot swallow pills. This can become an issue for many reasons but the fact remains that about one fifth of the population really has trouble with pills of any sort. Liquid supplements provide an alternative, but there can be issues with settlement, with ingredients not remaining in suspension, and with properly measuring dosage. The Molecular Dispersion Technology used in our nanotechnology sprays eliminates these concerns by ensuring that the nano-size nutrient particles remain properly suspended and are delivered consistently through the metered pump.

SWANSON: You started with B-12 and you’re now introducing melatonin and vitamin D. Why are these nutrients particularly suited for this new delivery system?

Dr. Mercola: It’s been established that vitamin B-12 is delivered most effectively in liquid form, so that speaks for itself. I focused on melatonin and vitamin D for different reasons.

First, melatonin is one of those supplements that can be life-changing for those who benefit from it. But when you need melatonin—whether you’re traveling, adjusting to a new work shift or just need a little help getting a good night’s sleep—you want it to work quickly and you want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your supplement. When you swallow a tablet or capsule, the rate of absorption is dependent upon so many variables including your GI health, the last time you ate, even your stress level. So there’s a real need for a reliable, rapid-acting alternative. Our Nanotechnology Melatonin Spray is the solution.

Now, vitamin D is a different story. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient, which means it needs fat (or oil) for proper absorption. That’s why I don’t recommend dry, powdered vitamin D supplements. And even if you do take an oil-based supplement, optimum absorption may still be challenging. Our Nanotechnology Vitamin D-3 Spray provides fully suspended vitamin D in a fine mist that helps your body take immediate advantage. Plus we’ve incorporated time-controlled technology into the nanodroplet suspension medium, which causes the vitamin D to be released in a steady, consistent manner once the liquid is absorbed. So you get immediate impact strengthened by a slow-release mechanism for longer-term benefits.

SWANSON: You’ve been very vocal about vitamin D and you really do believe it’s an important supplement for just about everyone.

Dr. Mercola: Absolutely. We just can’t ignore all the information pointing to vitamin D’s role in everything from cardiovascular health to bone health, mental health, metabolic health and beyond. New studies show that a great majority of us may not be getting enough of this incredibly important vitamin. We must heed the advice of medical experts who, in just the last year, have come out in record numbers to encourage people to pay attention to vitamin D. Many are calling for revisions to the RDIs in light of this evidence. Personally, I don’t think we need to wait for revisions to government recommendations. We all should be making sure we get enough vitamin D today and our Nanotechnology Vitamin D-3 Spray can help us do just that.

SWANSON: These sprays all have one more thing in common that makes them attractive over other delivery forms, and that’s the lack of unwanted ingredients. How important is that aspect?

Dr. Mercola: How important that is depends on each individual, but for those who are allergic to ingredients like corn, wheat, dairy or other things commonly found in capsules or tablets, it’s absolutely important. Plus, anyone who reads my work knows I don’t support the use of many things used in the manufacture of pills—certain excipients, binders and lubricating solutions—which I’m pleased to say are not present in these sprays. The only thing that goes into these sprays besides the nutrients themselves and the suspension technology is all-natural spearmint flavor that makes them palatable.

SWANSON: They really do taste good, too. Dr. Mercola, thank you again for bringing us these formulas and for being a true friend and valued partner to Swanson Health Products.

Dr. Mercola: It’s my pleasure, Lee. I know your customers are going to love these new sprays, and I just hope that through our continued cooperation, more and more people will discover that natural solutions can be the answer to optimal wellness. I encourage everyone to visit us at mercola.com and join our community of natural health enthusiasts.
