Your health and safety is paramount to our business.  We actively  search for the best way to provide you with exceptional nutritional  supplements so you don’t have to think twice when you see the Enerex  brand.  From the details that make up the manufacturing component of  each supplement, to choosing the containers that keep the contents and  the environment safe and secure for generations to come.  We’ve been a  Canadian business success story since 1997, based in Vancouver, BC,  Canada, but we serve our global community, and we are dedicated to  delivering safe and effective nutritional supplements to you, your  children, and the children of your children.

Wet granulation, the traditional industry standard for preparing  materials for tablets and capsules, requires the use of solvents and  high temperature drying to achieve the necessary material  characteristics. The wet granulation process potentially denatures the  effective ingredients, resulting in a less effective supplement.  At  Enerex, we use a process called Chilsonation to completely eliminate the  need for the destructive process of wet granulation.

• Raw materials are delivered via a system of horizontal and vertical screws
• A series of grooved, counter-rotation rollers are pressed tightly together through hydraulic pressure
• The rollers compact the raw materials into dense pellets through very high, direct pressure
• The emerging pellets are milled into a fine granular powder using a Fitz mill
• The finely ground powder is passed through a series of vibrating screens to produce a uniform, free flowing granulation
   

This Chilsonation process creates a finished powder that is 3 to 4  times denser than the original material, which enables Enerex to produce  smaller tables relative to the large amount of ingredients in each  tablet without any reduction in potency. Even so, some of the tablets  are still somewhat larger than others but this is what it takes to  deliver the optimal levels of nutrients required for our formulations.  Unlike the “hard” tablets produced by wet granulation (sometimes called  “bed pan bullets” by Nurses), the Chilsonation process used by Enerex  yields a “soft” tablet that is easily dissolved and absorbed by anyone.  In fact, many of our fans choose to chew our tablets because they are so  soft.

The Chilsonation process provides us with a product with improved  flow characteristics of the raw materials, meaning a better dispersion  of the nutrients in the completed tablet.  This uniform dispersion of  nutrients provides increased nutrient bioavailability, the amount of  active ingredient absorbed in your circulation system.

If the nutrients are exposed to the atmosphere they can be subject to  oxidation and reduced activity, which can change the chemical structure  of the supplement.  This breakdown produces free radicals, which are an  undesirable component in supplements and can reduce the overall  efficacy.  After the Chilsonation process, Enerex supplements are coated  with a special vegetable cellulose and purified water compound.   Because no organic solvents are used in the coating process, the coating  is hypoallergenic and free from any chemicals or sugars, common  allergens and irritants for people with sensitivities.  An additional  feature of the enteric coating is the smooth surface makes them much  easier to swallow than conventional tablets.

Our team of experts analyzed many factors in the formulation and  delivery of the nutritional supplements created by Enerex, and the  decision was made to present a selection of our supplements in tablet  form rather than in gelatine capsules (softgels).  Vegetable coated  tablets are more stable and are not affected by high temperatures or  humidity, factors that cause softgels to soften and leak in some  situations.  Also, the higher moisture content in gel caps can  negatively affect the stability of certain supplement formulas.

The following supplements are available in tablet form to protect the efficacy of the active ingredients:

• SONA Multivitamins
• B Stress Free
• Bio C 1000
• Osteo Cal:Mag

If a company puts this much time and energy into each and every  supplement it manufactures, it’s no surprise that the container is going  to be examined to ensure the product arrives in the hands of the  consumer safely.  All of the nutritional supplements on the Enerex shelf  are packaged in PETE containers.  PETE plastic provides a superior  moisture and oxygen barrier compared to the more common HDPE plastic  that most vitamin manufacturers use. These letters can be found by  looking on the bottom of the container.

In addition to protecting the delicate contents of the nutritional  supplements inside, the PETE containers are recyclable and have the  positive moisture, oxygen, and light-blocking features of a glass  container, but with a smaller environmental footprint than glass  packaging.  Although PETE is the only plastic that can be recycled back  into a container used for human consumables, it is also used for many  other products. Some of the products that use thousands of tons of  recycled PETE per year include fleece and carpet – so remember to  recycle your Enerex bottle, you may be wearing it or walking on it one  day!

To add a further degree of protection, every bottle of Enerex  supplements contains a small package of desiccant. This desiccant  absorbs any moisture that may enter the bottle during manufacturing and  prevents deterioration of the finished products. All of these steps  ensure that we are delivering the best quality nutritional supplements  in their intended form for optimal efficacy.
