High Production
Standards
Ritzman brand supplements are
produced by a manufacturer whose
standards are as high as those
required by the Food and Drug
Administration for pharmaceutical drug
manufacturing. The manufacturing
facility follows strict standards set
by the U.S. government’s standards
for good manufacturing practices. In
addition, United States Pharmacopeia
standards are used in the making of
many of the Ritzman supplements.
Quality
Ingredients
Our products are manufactured with
high quality ingredients. Nontherapeutic
ingredients such as carnauba wax,
artificial flavors, and dyes are not used.
In addition our products do not contain
added sugars, starches, or yeast.
Many of our products are gluten free
and are marked and easily identified
with a gluten-free symbol. This is
especially advantageous for people
with sensitivities and allergies.
Information
Each product label lists helpful
information outlining the benefits that
the product can provide. In addition,
every product has full disclosure
labeling so that you know exactly
what is included in each supplement.
Should you require additional ingredient
information, please ask a Ritzman
associate. Our associates can provide
you with more in depth information
about specific product ingredients
and assist you with your wellness goals.

what’s
Packaged for Freshness & Safety
Most Ritzman brand supplements are packaged in amber-colored glass
bottles to preserve freshness and ensure maximum potency. Each bottle
also includes a full-body, tamper-evident sleeve and a seal under the cap
to ensure safety. “Best Buy” dates and lot numbers are printed on each
bottle, guaranteeing the freshness and potency of the product and safety.
Integrity
Every product has full disclosure labeling so that you know exactly what
is included in each supplement. This is extremely important for those
concerned about allergies.
What’s in the
Supplement Facts?
The Supplement Facts panel
is listed on all of our labels. It
displays, in detail, the ingredients
and their amount and sources,
along with the serving size.

Ingredient Sources
Learn about the sources of
ingredients in your vitamin.
Generally, the source follows
the ingredient and appears in
parentheses. Different sources
offer different benefits. To decide
what is best for you, ask a
Ritzman associate.
Nutrients
Read the label carefully to understand the
amounts of the nutrients you need. Nutrients
are most often written as IU (international units),
mg (milligrams), or mcg (micrograms).
Dosage
100% Ritzman Guarantee
If you are unsatisfied with any Ritzman brand supplement, for any
reason, we will exchange it for another product that works for you.
We want you to be satisfied!
Follow the instructions on the label to receive the maximum benefit from your
supplement. Pay close attention to “Serving Size” as a supplement may have
a serving size of two or more tablets.
Look for the “% Daily Value” column. Percentage of Daily Value is a value created by
the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for food and supplement labeling. This
reflects the percentage of a certain nutrient that the supplement supplies, based on
a 2,000 calorie diet. For example, if the “% Daily Value” for Vitamin A is 100% then
you will receive all of the FDA recommended daily dosage of Vitamin A, for that day,
in one serving of the supplement.
Our top picks!
We asked a few of our Ritzman pharmacists what
THEIR favorite Ritzman Brand Supplement is and why.
Here’s what they had to say…
HelenE Hall, RPh
Copley Road, Akron location
“The Ritzman Cholesterol Complex is one of my favorite supplements! It has two ingredients
that have been tested in clinical studies to lower cholesterol: plant sterols and policosanol.
The plant sterols are a type of plant oil which causes the body to eliminate cholesterol, thereby
lowering cholesterol levels.
Another great Ritzman product is the Ritzman Calcium 600mg with Vitamin D 200. This
calcium is readily utilized in the body, especially when taken with food. The Calcium 600 with
D 200 is a novel product, containing 600mg of calcium carbonate in just one capsule, along
with vitamin D. The recommended dose is one capsule twice daily which provides 1200mg of
calcium AND 400 IU of Vitamin D in only two doses. It’s easy to swallow and highly absorbed.”

“My favorite Ritzman Supplements are the Ritzman Omega-3’s. The health benefits, including cardiovascular
and anti-inflammatory effects are well documented. Ritzman has two formulas, concentrated and a once-daily.
The Ritzman Concentrated Omega-3 is also included in the Ritzman Four Pillars supplement.”
Leah McGraw, RPh

“I really like the Ritzman Maximum One tab. It’s a full multivitamin and B Complex in one tablet. It is a
prolong release dose form and comes in an iron free formulation as well!”
Steve Gooding, RPh
Ritzman Pharmacy within Buehler’s Fresh Foods Market- Dover
“The Four Pillars of Health is my favorite Ritzman brand supplement. For the person looking for one
supplement program to incorporate into their day, this is it! It provides a complete basic supplement
program in individually wrapped daily packages. Just grab it, take it and go!”
Kim Sherman, RPh
Green location
“My favorite is Ritzman Probiotic Blend, my new medicine cabinet staple. It works great for tummy
upsets, and works for everyone; adults, kids, even the dog.

blending natural, organic and fair-trade
ingredients with advanced fruit stem cell
science. Advance fruit stem cell science

AND – rainwater is good for your plants! Rainwater does not
contain the same additives found in tap water. Tap water can
contain inorganic ions and fluoride compounds that accumulate
in the soil over time and can potentially harm plant roots and
microorganisms in the soil. It benefits plants in your garden by
cleaning the soil of salt buildup, thereby promoting an environment
conducive to root development.
Supplements...keep them
fresh and at their best!
July, 2012 will be our FINAL
edition of this, our quarterly,
printed and mailed newsletter!
We will be going to an
E-newsletter format
(no trees needed)!
Setting up a rain barrel in your yard can reap lots of benefits! A rain
barrel captures and stores rainwater draining from your roof and can
be anywhere from a 50 to 80 gallon container. The captured rainwater
can be used to water your garden or your lawn, or even wash your
car. Since lawn and garden watering make up nearly 40% of total
household water use during the summer this could save you money
on your water bills!
To maintain the potency of your
supplements store them away from
heat and direct sunlight in a cool dark,
dry place and always keep them out
of the reach of children.
It’s easier to save paper
than to plant trees!
