&lt;h3 style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;What is Pearl Tomato®?&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Pearl Tomato® is a natural supplement designed to help brighten and even out skin tone. A 90-day clinical study tested how well it works for improving skin brightness, smoothness, and overall appearance in adults aged 18 to 50. The study compared people who took Pearl Tomato® with those who took a placebo (a capsule with no active ingredient).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;div&gt; 
 &lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Partnering with a Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) to bring a product idea from conception to store shelves appears to be a logical choice. Why take the risk of significant capital investment or years of debt to produce a single product that may or may not succeed?&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>What Makes an Immunity Ingredient Stand Out?</title>

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Put most simply, the immune system is the body’s defense system against infections. It is the&lt;br&gt;the bodily system that protects us from foreign substances, cells, and tissues, and it works around the clock to prevent us from getting sick. In reality, the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;immune system&lt;/span&gt; is much more complex and can be influenced by many different outside factors, from how much rest we are getting to the foods and supplements we put in our body.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

So the problem many consumers face is that with so many diet supplements and get fit quick solutions, it's hard to know what it truly effective and more importantly, why?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;As in any industry, as it grows so do the innovations and advancements.&amp;nbsp; At the same time, it can also lead to potential problems and issues. While some are just speed bumps in the road, others can be quite damaging.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;Not all Contract Manufacturers in the Nutraceuticals Industry are created equal. Just as in any industry some manufacturers are more proficient than others.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let's face it, just because someone answered "yes" to most of your questions about bringing your product to market, doesn't mean they understand your long-term needs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We came up with our list of 11 questions to ask a contract manufacturer before you sign any agreement. How they answer these questions may mean the difference between a blockbuster and dud. If you're currently with someone, these questions can also serve as a good audit of your business relationship for current and future products.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Let's Talk About Joints!</title>

 &lt;a href="https://blog.vestanutra.com/nutralink/lets-talk-about-joints" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"&gt; &lt;img src="https://blog.vestanutra.com/hubfs/Social%20Media/SAMe.jpg" alt="SAMe" class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;We want to talk about joints that allow our elbows and knees to bend and move. We all have a naturally occurring molecule in our bodies called SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). To better understand its importance, we examine a process known as “methylation.” Methylation is a simple transaction in which SAMe donates a methyl group (four-atom appendage) to a neighboring molecule within our body. These transactions have far-reaching effects that affect everything from fetal development to brain function. They can regulate the expression of genes and various hormones including serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, and adrenaline as well as preserve fatty membranes that insulate our cells.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
