A NOTE FROM DR. DAVID L. WATTS
               
                
                    Thank you for taking the time to review this nutritional catalog. I take great pleasure
                    in introducing you to our unique line of formulas that are only available to healthcare
                    professionals like yourself. Please remember that if you have any questions or suggestions
                    regarding our nutritional supplement line, we certainly would like to hear from
                    you.
                
                    Trace Nutrients™ is a professional line of products that are in the forefront of
                    today's nutritional formulas. As a valued client, you can be assured of the highest
                    quality ingredients and formulas that are based on thorough scientific research
                    and backed by reliable and friendly service. You can also be assured that the product
                    you confidently use today will be here tomorrow as we concentrate on providing clinically
                    proven formulas. Trace Elements does not resort to rolling out one "breakthrough" product
                    after another; only to be canceled and forgotten shortly thereafter.
                 
                    Although our product line may not be extensive, the products are unequaled and uniquely 
                    designed to obtain the maximum appropriate response within a deliberate and efficacious 
                    Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) regimen. Trace Nutrients™ products are a result of 
                    over 30 years of clinical experience and are based on the study of more than 100,000 
                    HTMA patients.
                 Trace Nutrients™ products are uniquely formulated in order to provide maximum absorption
                    and metabolic utilization with minimum supplementation. This is accomplished by
                    the recognition and understanding of complex synergistic and antagonistic nutritional
                    interrelationships, and then applying this knowledge in formulating appropriate
                    products. The finished results are obvious - an effective yet economical product
                    combined to act favorably to, and in harmony with the body. The importance of this
                    has been emphasized by Flavin: "The proper combination of nutritional factors are
                    more effective than isolated substances because of their ability to complement each
                    other in the mechanisms of their actions."
                
                    In addition to the importance of proper formulation, product safety is another primary
                    concern. Thus, all ingredients used in the Trace Nutrients™ product line are of United
                    States Pharmacopoeia (USP) or National Formulary standards to ensure quality and
                    consistency from batch to batch. Additionally, all whole glandular concentrates are
                    processed using the preferred lyophilization method in FDA certified facilities.
                
                    Lastly, as you may know, there is a great deal of concern today for obtaining quality
                    nutritional products that are hypo-allergenic and non-reactive. You can be assured
                    that the formulations offered in this guide provide a safe, yet effective alternative
                    for your patient's nutritional therapy.
                
                    Once again, I thank you for taking the time to look over our informational material.
                    If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me on our toll-free
