All About the Ingredients

Just a few of the samples and giveaways I collected from
Supply Side West (SSW) trade show at Mandalay Bay
Convention Center last week.

Supply Side West brings together suppliers and buyers that drive the dietary supplement, food, beverage, animal nutrition, personal care & cosmetic. If you ever thought about starting a consumer product business, this is one of the most important shows that you should attend.  Great place to learn about new ingredients and meet manufacturers.  Pick up lots of brochures, taste ingredients and mixes and take samples with you.

There were so many companies to choose from, and if this is your first time attending, I would definitely suggest looking at the exhibitors directory and circling the ones that you need to see.  Make sure to see 1 or 2 of their competitors as well.  Work your way from left to right, aisle by aisle, and if you see something that's interesting, stop and grab a brochure or sample.  Here are a few of my favorites at SSW:

Farbest Brands is a premier distributor of food & nutrition
ingredients sourced from the world's most trusted suppliers.
They had the best Mango fiber smoothie I have ever had. No lie, it was so good!

Ingredientsonline.com is the first Global Factory Marketplace for nutritional raw materials and other fine ingredients, connecting customers directly with world-class manufacturers through a unique online platform that delivers factory prices, U.S. stock, guaranteed quality control and best-in-class customer service and delivery. I had a chance to demo this system, and it is truly "user friendly".

Silver Sol Technology  is a multi-patented
skin product tested by certified independent
laboratories. Check their website for online
orders.

These are 2 samples that I was able to take home, and so far
so great.  The smaller tube is a gel comparable to or better
than Neosporin. The Skin Cream is a great moisturizing lotion, that is non-greasy and feels very light on your skin.

With Paul Willis, CEO of Cypress Solutions at
their #Movember photo booth theme, a
Men'sHealth Awareness movement.

I thought this was a wonderful theme. They did a
great job bringing awareness to Movember Foundation
and raising money for the cause.

Interview with Paul Willis, CEO of Cypress Solutions,

"At Cypress we make selenium, but not just any selenium. Our natural food form of organically bound selenium is trademarked SelenoExcell and is standardized to “Gold Standard” clinical research with the National Cancer Institute. We are committed to providing the highest quality product possible in order to with-stand the rigors of numerous double-blinded clinical studies. SelenoExcell is supported by a Clinical Trial Agreement with the Division of Cancer Prevention at NCI. No other product on the market can make these claims."

That's all for now. Please subscribe and come back and visit.
