For Immediate Release

Since its release in 2001, our 200 mg of Zen product has become a top-seller for Allergy Research Group. In 2014, we released Liposomal Zen, with increased bioavailability. Now, the Zen name has been expanded to include multiple products with more targeted uses.

All Zen products contain gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and L-theanine, an amino acid derivative found naturally in green tea (Camellia sinensis)**. Together, they help support healthy mood and a feeling of being relaxed without sedation.*

Key Features of Each New Zen Product

Zen Adapt with Sensoril^® enhances the actions of GABA and L-theanine with the addition of Sensoril^®, a pure water extract of ashwagandha. This ancient Ayurvedic herb is well-known in Alternative and Functional Medicine. Sensoril^® has been shown to help alleviate the physical, emotional, and mental effects of stress and tension.*

Zen Sleep with P5P and 5-HTP enhances the actions of GABA and L-theanine with the addition of vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate) and L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), the precursor to serotonin and melatonin. This combination helps promote a more deeply relaxed state, and necessary cofactors for the body to produce melatonin, supporting normal, healthy sleep.*

Coming in September 2018

Zen Focus with Pycnogenol^® enhances the actions of GABA and L-theanine with the addition of Pycnogenol^®, the original French Maritime Pine Bark extract.*** This extract is found, among other benefits, to support micro-circulatory distribution of blood flow, necessary for optimal cognitive function and memory.*

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Naturopathic doctors are required to earn a specific number of continuing education (CE) credits to maintain their license. Sometimes it can be very difficult to fulfill that requirement. Thanks to a new pilot program, naturopathic physicians can now earn free CE credits by listening to a Natural Medicine Journal (NMJ) podcast.

A message from the NMJ:

“We are thrilled to partner with the Oregon Board of Naturopathic Medicine to provide our naturopathic readers with continuing education credits,” said Kathi Magee, NMJ Associate Publisher and the person leading the new CE program. “This is just one more way we can continue to be a valuable resource to the naturopathic doctors who read our journal each month.”

The pilot program begins with a 30-minute podcast titled Integrative Treatment Considerations for Patients with Eating Disorders featuring an interview with Carrie Decker, ND. After listening to the podcast, listeners can take the 10-question online test. If they pass, they print out their certificate and are awarded with 0.5 general education credits. The CE program is free to NMJ readers due to an educational grant provided by Allergy Research Group.

“This new pilot program allows us to test the waters to determine if our readers want NMJ to offer continuing education,” said Karolyn Gazella, NMJ publisher. “Preliminary feedback has been very positive.”

NMJ leadership would love your feedback. Feel free to email Kathi Magee at kathi@impacthealthmedia.com with your comments.

About Natural Medicine Journal

It is the official journal of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and is widely circulated to a variety of healthcare professionals throughout the world.
