Nutrico Corporate Information

Mission

Nutrico’s mission is to help people achieve and maintain better health through improved nutrition. The axiom “you are what you eat” is its guiding principle. Nutrico also adheres to the beliefs expressed by inventor-scientist Thomas Edison, who said “the doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” As such, Nutrico founder Gary Kaposta has stated that as part of its mission the Company has specifically targeted obesity, the U.S.’ leading health problem. In 2003 368,000 people died of obesity-related illnesses caused primarily by junk-food carbohydrates and their adverse effects on health.

History

Founded in 2003 by Kaposta as “The health-through-nutrition company,” Nutrico is a privately-owned personal wellness organization based in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas suburb of Southlake. Nutrico has targeted the excess weight gain/obesity market for its newest product — an innovative fat-loss supplement called Serofil™ — that represents a unique approach to fat-loss. Over-consumption of junk-food carbohydrates, not fat, is responsible for the meteoric rise in weight gain and obesity that has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S. Nutrico has found those who take Serofil™ reduce their intake of processed sugar and high-fructose corn syrup-laden food products and eat more whole foods (especially colorful fruits and vegetables), thereby reducing body fat.

The Need

Advanced brain-scanning studies reveal that depleted levels of a key hormone called Serotonin are responsible for profound craving of junk-food carbohydrates, such as those found in chips, bagels, sodas, sweets, chocolate, white bread, pastries and other snack foods. Additionally, three modern lifestyle factors — stress, poor nutrition (junk food), and lack of deep, restorative sleep — contribute to the depletion of Serotonin levels. When Serotonin levels are depleted, people tend to experience powerful cravings for junk-food carbohydrates that can mimic cravings for illicit street drugs in their intensity.Scientific studies also have found that those who crave junk-food carbohydrates are unknowingly attempting to enhance their mood by raising Serotonin levels. The fact that Americans live in a Serotonin-depleted state is underscored by the fact that in 2003 a record number of anti-depressants such as Paxil and Zoloft were prescribed for adults and children.

Product

Since Serotonin regulates carbohydrate cravings, it is among our body’s primary obesity control mechanisms. When one consumes junk food, the brain produces a burst of Serotonin. This “feel-good” hormone causes a temporary sense of well-being, hence is referred to as mood food, comfort food, or emotional eating. The problem is that the price one pays for this short-term fix is the over-production of the fat-storing hormone Insulin. Insulin is the garage-door-opener to your fat cells. Serofil™ supports healthy levels of Serotonin and reduces the cravings for the very foods that force your body to store fat. Serofil™ also helps the body to burn fat without the negative side effects of anxiety or jitters associated with ephedrine or caffeine-based products. Serofil™ helps to stabilize blood sugar, which in turn, helps to stabilize Insulin levels. This prevents the body from storing excess fat.
