Where and how is Original Limu™ processed?
The Limu Moui used in Original Limu™ is harvested among the islands of the Kingdom of Tonga, and is strictly licensed and protected by the Tongan Government. The purest form of Limu Moui is collected and carefully cleaned in Tonga, then flash-frozen to preserve its freshness. It is then transported to New Zealand where it is refined into a unique liquid extract in a government-inspected facility using a proprietary extraction process. The extract is quality tested and transported to the United States, where it is blended with our proprietary formula into Original Limu™ and bottled for your use.

What kind of quality controls are in place for Original Limu™?
Original Limu™ is manufactured according to strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards in an FDA-inspected facility. From raw material analysis to final product inspection, every production step is carefully monitored and documented, with full accountability and in-process controls. Each batch of Original Limu™ is then thoroughly tested prior to being released for consumption.

Why does the product sometimes vary slightly from batch to batch?
Variations in the color, taste and thickness of Original Limu™ may sometimes occur due to natural variations in the organic mango and papaya purees we use. These fruits vary in color and flavor just like the oranges you buy from the supermarket. However, you can rest assured that each bottle of Original Limu™ always contains exactly the same amount of pure Tongan limu moui extract.

What is the advantage of flash pasteurizing Original Limu™?
Our state-of-the-art flash pasteurization process allows us to chill-blend Original Limu™, thereby maintaining the highest levels of nutritional integrity.

Which 70-plus nutrients are found in Original Limu™?
In addition to the usual vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids and antioxidants that you find in fruits and vegetables, Original Limu™ provides several other powerful nutrients including polyphenols, glyconutrients (fucose, galactose, mannose and xylose), alginate and fucoidan. Research indicates that it is the presence of this powerful substance that really differentiates Original Limu™ from other food supplements. It is important to note that fucoidan is not found in land-based plants.

How much of each nutrient is in Original Limu™?
Original Limu™ is made from a proprietary pure Tongan Limu extract, blended with papaya and mango purees, and aple and pear concentrates. A whopping 83% of each bottle of Original Limu™ is reconstituted pure Tongan limu from this fucoidan-rich extract! Because it is a liquid dietary supplement in the same way that wheat grass juice or aloe vera juice are liquid dietary supplements, Original Limu™ contains a wide array of naturally occurring nutrients provided by Mother Nature (over 70 in all). Unlike synthetic dietary supplements, Original Limu™ contains no added vitamins or minerals … so there's no need to worry about upsetting your body's delicate nutritional balance.

Why are sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate in the product?
Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate work synergistically to keep Original Limu™ free of harmful molds and microbes after bottling. These substances are present in compliance with food safety regulations. Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid, an FDA-approved polyunsaturated fat that is freely found in nature, in foods such as cranberries. It has been used by food manufacturers for over 80 years to inhibit microbial growth. Potassium sorbate is a potassium salt version of sorbic acid, a polyunsaturated fat used to inhibit mold growth. It has been found to be non-toxic even when taken in large quantities and has been used in foods since the 1850's.
