Woburn,

October
04, 2011
— Woburn-based
biotechnology company Aphios® Corporation is raising
awareness of Prostate Cancer Month by participating in a
special CBS “What’s In Store” segment
that will be aired on WSBK-TV on October 5th at 10:35 p.m.
and again on October 8th at 11:35 p.m. on its sister station,
WBZ-TV. In conjunction with this segment, Aphios is pleased
to announce the launch of its locally manufactured SuperCool™
Palmetto product, an all-natural saw palmetto supplement,
grown and manufactured entirely in the USA, for maintaining
healthy prostate and hair follicles.*
“SuperCool™ Palmetto is a patented, highly
standardized extract of Saw Palmetto berries that are indigenous
to southern Florida,” says Dr. Trevor P. Castor, President
and CEO of Aphios®, which produces the SuperCool™
Health pipeline of quality-of-life nutraceuticals, including
its flagship product SuperCool™ Gingerol. “We
standardized the Saw Palmetto extract to inhibit the enzyme
that breaks down testosterone.”
Aphios sources high quality, wild harvested berries from
suppliers such as the Saw Palmetto Berries Co-Op of Florida
in Naples. Then, the berries are washed, sterilized and
ground into a powder.
“We use SuperFluids™ manufacturing technology
to extract the biologically active ingredients,” Dr.
Castor continues. “After characterization and qualification
of the extract, we proceed to the next step of formulation
and encapsulation with a premier contract research organization
such as Capsugel, an ex-Pfizer unit.”
“All men can benefit from our SuperCool™ Palmetto
supplement to ensure the healthy prostate function,”
Dr. Castor explains. “Our SuperCool™ Palmetto
product is made from wild-harvested saw palmetto utilizing
patented SuperFluids™ carbon dioxide technology that
is environmentally friendly. The product is free from toxic
organic solvents, pesticides and herbicides. It’s
all natural and contains antioxidants to improve stability
and emulsifiers for improved efficacy.”
The company further plans to conduct clinical trials on
SuperCool™ Palmetto to establish safety and efficacy
for benign prostatic hyperplasia, enlarged prostate, and
alopecia or male pattern baldness.
SuperCool™ Palmetto is available to the consumer
thorough Aphios’ Internet store, www.supercoolhealth.com.
