The President’s Desk
Mourning Our Colleague and Friend; CarnoSee™ Update
Rob Watson
I am sad to report that we at Vitamin Research Products—as well as nutritional supplement users everywhere—have lost one of the industry’s most cherished and knowledgeable advocates. In late January, James South, our colleague and friend, passed away from a brain tumor after enduring an all-too-short battle with this disease.James was a frequent contributor to Vitamin Research News and as Director of Research and Development was instrumental in formulating many of our products. He will be deeply missed by all of us at VRP, as well as by the thousands of people he touched with his immense knowledge. A 37-year veteran of the nutritional supplement industry, he accumulated a vast amount of knowledge, earning him the high regard of everyone who knew him. His contributions during his years at Vitamin Research Products will live on in our product line, strengthening the health of people all over the world.
I am working with James’s wife Ann to create a James South memorial website to continue his health-related legacy. Watch for announcements of this in the future.
FDA Bans CarnoSee™
As the author of many of the Health Freedom articles on VRP’s website and a passionate defender of supplement users’ rights, James would likely have shared our frustration about a recent development that now prohibits us from selling CarnoSee eye drops. Many of you used this popular, safe and effective product and were surprised to discover it is no longer part of our product line. However, our hands our tied, as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has prohibited the over-the-counter sale of n-acetyl L-carnosine-containing eye drops after declaring this ingredient a new drug. We will diligently work to formulate or find a suitable, scientifically valid replacement, if one exists.
