Orthomolecular
The term ‘orthomolecular’ was introduced by Linus Pauling in the journal Science in 1968. He defines orthomolecular medicine as the prevention and treatment of disease by supplying the organs with the optimum molecular environment, in particular the optimum concentrations of substances normally present in the human body.'Orthos' in Greek means 'correct', 'right' and 'healthy'. 'Molecular' means relating to the molecules.
State of the art
The fact that the Performax food supplements are described as 'orthomolecular' means that in their development, account has been taken of the circumstances in which the average European man or woman lives today. In order to provide the body cells with an 'optimum molecular environment', it is vital that a good daily diet be supplemented with sufficient high-dosage nutrients. As a consequence, generally speaking the Plantina food supplements are high-dosed.
Performax products are developed in the Netherlands by the Ortho Institute. This institute guarantees that the formulae are adjusted as soon as new scientific developments occur. The products are also subject to the most stringent quality requirements.
The Ortho Institute is the leading centre of expertise in the field of orthomolecular sciences in the Netherlands. The institute specialises in the fields of lifestyle and health, and in particular nutrition.
