|---|
An Active Form of Folate Product Description: FOLINIC ACID contains 800 mcg (300 caps) of folinic acid from a very pure form of calcium folinate. NUTRITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS & APPLICATIONS: Folinic acid, also known as 5-formyl tetrahydrofolate, is one active form in a group of vitamins known as folates. In contrast to folic acid, a synthetic form of folate, folinic acid is one of the forms of folate found naturally in foods. Folate deficiency is believed to be the most common vitamin deficiency in the world due to food processing, food selection, and intestinal disorders. |

The Scientist behind the products
Hank Liers, PhD -Scientist, Supplement Designer, and HPDI President
Since 1988, Dr. Liers has designed and managed the production of over 200 nutritional supplements. His work includes conducting research on scientific and clinical studies appearing in the professional literature, selecting and specifying ingredients for products, obtaining cost estimates, preparing label copy, ordering products, dealing with production issues, quality control, and solving technical problems. He also prepares detailed product descriptions and abstract compendiums to support HPDI's marketing efforts.
Dr. Liers's scientific training includes postdoctoral research in Physics, University of Wisconsin (1969-71); a PhD in Physics (Nuclear), University of Minnesota (1969); a BS in Physics, Stony Brook University (SUNY) (1962). From 1969 to 1994, Dr. Liers managed and contributed to a large variety of technical projects in the areas of manufacturing technology, solar energy, defense technologies, and nuclear science. He has in-depth experience in scientific and engineering disciplines, and in business development. Positions he has held include: Principal Analyst, General Research Corporation; Senior Scientist, Science Applications International Corporation; Manager of the Engineering Division, InterTechnology/Solar Corporation; Section Head and Research Physicist, United States Naval Research Laboratory. Dr. Liers has published extensively in the areas of alternative energy, environmental studies, health, manufacturing technologies, and nuclear physics.
In 1984, Dr. Liers's wife, Joanne, became ill with severe environmental intolerance to many common substances and chemicals. At that time, he and his family found no solutions or treatments that could ease her condition. Dr. Liers refocused his life on health and healing, becoming his wife's doctor in the process. Since then he has studied with many eminent physicians and scientists in the field of alternative medicine. He has analyzed thousands of books, reports, and technical papers concerning physical, mental, and spiritual health. He has incorporated his knowledge into his family and professional activities. Dr. Liers continues to investigate and apply methods for optimizing human health. The strategies for healthy living he develops encompass many areas, including nutrition and diet, herbs, exercise, bodywork, environmental modification, mind-body techniques, and spirituality.
