Kirkman to Celebrate Arbor Day

RENO, NV--(Marketwired - April 23, 2015) - All hail to our trees! National Arbor Day is the last Friday of April, and the customary observance is to plant a tree. When the first Arbor Day was celebrated on April 10, 1872, an estimated 1 million trees were planted. The story of Arbor Day is a celebration of the importance of trees to human life. Like all plant life, trees take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce the air we breathe. They give us shade, prevent erosion, provide the basis for the homes we build, and are a source of fuel to warm us during the winter months. Many trees bear fruit that help provide life-sustaining nutrients.

Kirkman®, a 65-year-old nutritional supplement company, will be celebrating "Arbor Day" (April 24) by offering savings of 40% off the price of our products that contain vitamins, nutrients or natural flavors grown on trees. Here's what's on special:

• Vitamin C 250 mg -- Hypoallergenic (0024-100 & 0024-250): A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C has a key role in supporting the immune system. It is especially important that children who are active and growing aren't deficient in this nutrient.

• Grapefruit Seed Extract 125 mg -- Hypoallergenic (0279-120): Kirkman® formulated this product at the request of healthcare practitioners who use grapefruit seed extract orally for gastrointestinal immune support. Grapefruit seed extract is highly beneficial to the immune system, as it helps in the preservation of the intestinal bacteria that help fight the disease causing germs.

• Super Nu-Thera® Liquid Raspberry Flavored Concentrate (0455-029): Kirkman's proprietary and most popular multi-vitamin specially formulated for individuals who have certain dietary sensitivities or requirements. It offers high vitamin B-6 and magnesium content. This SNT version comes in a raspberry flavored liquid that tastes delicious.

• Super Nu-Thera® Liquid Tropical Fruit Flavored Concentrate (0397-029): Kirkman's proprietary and most popular multi-vitamin is specially formulated for individuals who have certain dietary sensitivities or requirements. It offers high vitamin B-6 and magnesium content. This SNT version comes in a tropical fruit flavored liquid that tastes delicious.

• Super Nu-Thera® with 12.5 mg P-5-P Liquid -- Green Apple Flavored (0174-029): This version of SNT comes in a green apple flavored liquid that tastes delicious. It offers high vitamin B-6 and magnesium content. The product does not contain folate, so it is important when using this supplement to also include a source of folic acid or folinic acid in your supplement regimen. It also uses pyridoxine hydrochloride, as well as pyridoxyl 5-phosphate sources of vitamin B-6.

• Super Nu-Thera® Powder w/o Vitamins A&D Flavored (0457-454): This formulation was based on our original orange flavored powder, but without vitamins A and D. In addition, this product has several quality and formulation improvements when compared to our original classic powder. It has a great orange flavor and is sweetened with natural stevia leaf extract.

• Cod Liver Oil Liquid Lemon Lime Flavor (0228-008): Cod Liver Oil provides omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Omega-3 fatty acids are important in normal development, cardiovascular health and in neurological health. Physicians may prescribe a laboratory profile of fatty acids to determine if they are in proper balance. This product is flavored with natural lemon and lime oils.
