This formulation was based on our original, orange flavored powder, but without vitamins A and D. Kirkman® created this version at the request of parents and health professionals for individuals who may want to obtain vitamins A and D supplementation from cod liver oil. In addition, this product has several quality and formulation improvements when compared to our original classic powder. Ease in dissolving is a great improvement over past Super Nu-Thera® powders that left a residue. It suspends much better in the liquid of your choice and also is easier to incorporate into semi-solid foods. This product incorporates all of the latest clinical advances including the incorporation of the biochemically active form of folate, folinic acid, and the inclusion of iodine in the formulation.
Kirkman’s Super Nu-Thera®: Its beginning
Super Nu-Thera® has been Kirkman's most popular dietary supplement since its formulation in 1967. The original Super Nu-Thera® was formulated by Kirkman® at the urgent request of a researcher investigating special nutritional formulations. His request was for a formulation with high vitamin B-6 and magnesium content that tasted good so children would take the product. The original form of Super Nu-Thera® was an orange flavored powdered supplement. This classic is still available as our Super Nu-Thera® Powder (310/454).
What is unique about Super Nu-Thera®?
Super Nu-Thera® is a multiple vitamin/mineral supplement featuring vitamin B-6 and magnesium. Super Nu-Thera® also contains the rest of the B-vitamins, vitamin C, the oil soluble vitamins E, A, and D (in many formulations), as well as the minerals zinc, manganese and selenium. Some forms of Super Nu-Thera® also may include calcium, depending on whether that product’s particular formulation can incorporate the large volume of calcium required. Forms of Super Nu-Thera® not containing calcium may require individuals to use a calcium supplement if their diet is not supplying the “Daily Recommended Value” of this important nutrient.

Why might I choose a formulation without vitamins A and D?
Many individuals obtain supplementation of vitamins A and/or D from cod liver oil or another source(s). For those individuals, Kirkman® offers Super Nu-Thera® without vitamins A and D.
Why might I choose a formulation that contains P-5-P?
P-5-P stands for pyridoxal 5-phosphate. Formulations of Super Nu-Thera® that feature P-5-P as part of the vitamin B-6 source are intended for those individuals whose physician has determined that the usual form of vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) is not being utilized completely. P-5-P is the metabolically active coenzyme of pyridoxine, and is an essential cofactor in many enzymatic reactions in amino acid metabolism.
