Q1 |
: |
Are
there references or research data available
on Nutritional Immunology and/or E. Excel’s
products? |
A1 |
: |
Education
and research are the cornerstones of E. Excel
International. Its magazines e.g. The Excellent
Magazine and other publications impart its wealth
of knowledge in Nutritional Immunology and its
related research, news about E. Excel products
as well as introduction to the ingredients used.
Dr Jau-Fei Chen has also published the following
books:
• Nutritional Immunology
• Plant Foods & Nutritional Immunology:
A Scientific Approach
• Enjoying Health & Longevity With Nutritional
Immunology
• Cancer & Nutritional Immunology |

Q2 |
: |
Does
E. Excel grow its own botanical ingredients?
|
A2 |
: |
E.
Excel does not cultivate all its plant ingredients.
E. Excel has been around for about 20 years;
in comparison, cactus requires decades of growth.
Hence, it is harvested from external sources.
Consumers are assured that
no effort has been spared in regulating the
entire manufacturing process from growth, harvest
to final production to ensure the highest quality.
E. Excel does stringent tests repeatedly to
ensure the purity and quality of its products.

|
Q3 |
: |
Where
are E. Excel’s ingredients grown? |
A3 |
: |
E.
Excel’s ingredients are grown in different regions
around the world. Strict tests are conducted
to ascertain the suitability of the soil for
optimum plant growth before planting the crops.
Hence, the plants selected by E. Excel are from
the areas most suitable for their growth every
year. |
|
|
|
Q4 |
: |
Are
all of E. Excel’s raw materials organically
grown? |
A4 |
: |
Not
all of E. Excel’s plant food ingredients are
organically grown. Ingredients such as cactus
and ginseng require years of growth before they
are ready for harvesting. In addition, E. Excel’s
plant food ingredients are cultivated in different
regions around the world. Different countries
have different interpretations and methods of
organic farming.
E. Excel International is deeply
committed to developing the highest quality
Nutritional Immunology products in the world.
Freshness and purity of ingredients is guaranteed
through E. Excel’s rigorous testing of products
at all stages, from planting, harvesting and
processing to packaging. We do not compromise
on safety and hygiene of both raw materials
and finished products. |

|
Q5 |
: |
If
I consume the combination of ingredients present
in E. Excel Products, will I reap the same benefits
as consuming the products? |
A5 |
: |
E.
Excel’s products are formulated upon the science
of Nutritional Immunology and much time and
effort is spent on the manufacturing process,
which includes:
1. Researching the different
types of plant food that contain the most abundant
phytochemicals, antioxidants and polysaccharides
2. Studying which plant species is most beneficial
to the human immune system. For example, there
are over 80 species of ginger but all contain
varying amounts of nutrients.
3. Analyzing which parts of a plant are most
nutritious
4. Selecting the most appropriate harvest time.
For example, the older the ginseng, the better
it is, as ginseng harvested at a young age yields
little nutritional benefit. Mushrooms should
be harvested when they are still young to obtain
optimum quality.
5. Using appropriate processing techniques.
For example, some plants must be heated before
use while others should not be heated.
E. Excel’s products are effective
because of the amount of research and professional
expertise devoted to each product formulation.
Every single product is highly concentrated
and packed using state-of-the-art technology
to ensure that nutrients will not be lost. Thus,
even if you buy the same ingredients used in
E. Excel products and mix them yourself, the
concentrations are not comparable and hence,
the effects will not be the same as E. Excel
products. |

|
|
Q6 |
: |
Why
do different countries use different ingredients
for the same product? |
A6 |
: |
E.
Excel produces formulations that adhere closely
to the regulations of a particular country.
For example, E. Excel Korea’s products do not
contain ginseng because Korea is a major exporter
of ginseng and does not encourage the import
of products with ginseng as their key ingredient.
However, consumers can rest assured that E.
Excel employs cutting-edge technology in using
different ingredients to achieve the same effect.
For example, grape seed is high in phytochemicals
and antioxidants such as Oligomeric Proanthocyandin
(OPC), but OPC can also be extracted from grape
skin and other fruit skins. |

|
Q7 |
: |
Are
E. Excel’s products safe? Which health regulatory
authorities have inspected them? |
A7 |
: |
E.
Excel’s products are manufactured in the USA,
Singapore and Shanghai. In addition to E. Excel’s
own stringent tests, E. Excel’s products are
inspected by all countries that import them,
including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe,
Canada, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines and
Thailand. Our products have been used by tens
of thousands of consumers around the world for
nearly 20 years. This is the best testimony
of the effectiveness of our products. |
|
|
|
Q8 |
: |
What
makes E. Excel’s products so different from
other herbal supplements? |
A8 |
: |
Our
products are the only products researched and
formulated according to the principles of Nutritional
Immunology, a science pioneered by our founder
Dr Jau-Fei Chen. It studies the intimate link
between nutrition and the immune system. |
|
|
|
Q9 |
: |
If
certain products have been discontinued, does
that mean that these products are not good? |
A9 |
: |
No.
E. Excel’s products have been carefully manufactured
to ensure nothing less than the highest quality.
A product may be discontinued because its market
demand is low or due to the introduction of
a more superior product. There is no bearing
on that product’s quality or nutritional value. |

|
Q10 |
: |
What is an anti-caking agent? |
A10 |
: |
Due to hot weather conditions, certain powdered beverages or foods may experience a caking or sticking-together effect. This happens despite utilizing state-of-the-art packaging methods. An anti-caking agent is used to prevent this problem while enhancing the quality of a product. |
|
|
|
Q11 |
: |
What is silicon dioxide? Is it a harmful substance? |
A11 |
: |
Silicon dioxide is a naturally occurring substance and is one of the minerals found in many commercially available multivitamin supplements. It is often used as an anti-caking agent. Silicon dioxide, when consumed as part of a balanced diet, is said to help heal joint and cartilage degeneration, for example, when you have arthritis. It is also said to help keep the blood vessel walls healthy. As with any overuse of multivitamins, large quantities of silicon dioxide may present toxic side effects. However, as an anti-caking agent, only a minute amount of silicon dioxide is necessary. As such, silicon dioxide as an anti-caking agent does not cause harmful side effects. |
