Kirkman’s Super Nu-Thera®: Its beginning
Super Nu-Thera® has been Kirkman's most popular dietary supplement since
its inception in 1967. The original Super Nu-Thera® was formulated by
Kirkman® at the urgent request of a researcher investigating special
nutritional supplements. His request was for a formulation with high
vitamin B-6 and magnesium content that tasted good so children would
take the product. The original form of Super Nu-Thera® was an orange
flavored powdered supplement. This classic is still available as our
Super Nu-Thera® Powder (310/454).
What is unique about Super Nu-Thera®?
Super Nu-Thera® is a multiple vitamin/mineral supplement featuring
vitamin B-6 and magnesium. Super Nu-Thera® also contains the rest of
the B-vitamins, vitamin C, the oil soluble vitamins E, A, and D (in many
formulations), as well as the minerals zinc, manganese and selenium.
Some forms of Super Nu-Thera® also may include calcium, depending on
whether that product’s particular formulation can incorporate the large
volume of calcium required. Forms of Super Nu-Thera® not containing
calcium may require individuals to use a calcium supplement if their
diet is not supplying the “Daily Recommended Value” of this important
nutrient.

Why might I choose a hypoallergenic formulation of Super Nu-Thera®?
Kirkman® offers hypoallergenic formulations that are specially designed
for individuals with special requirements and sensitivities. These
formulations contain no fillers, sweeteners, flavorings, colorings,
preservatives, or known allergens.
Why might I choose a powdered formulation?
Kirkman® Super Nu-Thera® powders suspend easily in liquids and can be
mixed in semi-solid foods. Powders provide an option for those
individuals unable to swallow capsules or caplets.
Why might I choose a liquid formulation?
Kirkman® Super Nu-Thera® liquids can be mixed easily in beverages or
semi-solid foods and come in a variety of palatable flavors. Liquid
formulations provide an option for those individuals unable to swallow
capsules or caplets.
Why might I choose a formulation without vitamins A and D?
Many individuals obtain supplementation of vitamins A and/or D from cod
liver oil or another source(s). For those individuals, Kirkman® offers
Super Nu-Thera® without vitamins A and D.
Why might I choose a formulation that contains P-5-P?
P-5-P stands for pyridoxal 5-phosphate. Formulations of Super Nu-Thera®
that feature P-5-P as part of the vitamin B-6 source are intended for
those individuals whose physician has determined that the usual form of
vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) is not being utilized
completely. P-5-P is the metabolically active coenzyme of pyridoxine,
and is an essential cofactor in many enzymatic reactions in amino acid
metabolism.
