More and more often these days and interesting story is being presented to men
and women in homes and offices all over America.
Through a booklet facts about vitamins minerals
and neutral light food supplement and the person who presents the story is a
member of your own community your neutral light distributor.
The factual story has its beginning in one of the loveliest spots in America.
Approximately one hundred miles east of the city of Long Beach California or some
of America's most beautiful valleys.
Here the tall majestic peaks of the San Jacinto Mountains tower above one of the
richest valleys in the entire West.
Acre after acre of apricots and peaches adorn the valley like living jewels and
here is the rich and hearty green of alfalfa.
Many years ago farmers in this beautiful area found that the soil and climate
were ideal for raising the finest alfalfa and only the finest will do here
because this is part of one of the famous neutral light products alfalfa farms.
But it is interesting to see what steps are taken to ensure such
a high quality alfalfa.
A very important step is the preparation of a high grade
compost to use on the soil.
This machine is called a fox chopper after the top alfalfa has been cut for
dehydration this machine cuts a further portion of the stock this to
be used as part of the compost.
Raw materials used in the compost include in addition to the alfalfa cuttings
animal manures, limestone rock, phosphate rock, red rock
and other mineral compounds.
When the proper ingredients for a compost pile have been assembled they are
loaded by this power lift into a specially constructed mixer.
As the materials are spread they are thoroughly mixed to ensure the
most uniform decomposition.
After several weeks when the compost has gone through a period of desired
decomposition it is turned.
Again the natural bacteria found in the various materials start the necessary
decomposition and in several more weeks these piles of compost are ready for use.
During these processes the compost is kept moist at all times.
When the compost is ready for use it is deposited in liberal amounts
on the alfalfa fields.
The compost is used in conjunction with hybrid earthworms
cultivated at the neutralite farms.
The earthworms aerate the soil and help to work the compost into the ground.
The effectiveness of the compost as a fertilizer is shown by the quality and size
of the fruit and flowers at the neutralite farms which have been grown with
this specially prepared mixture.
After being cut and thoroughly composted the fields are irrigated by overhead
sprinklers and each field is thoroughly watered twice between cuttings.
Good soil, special compost, proper irrigation, sunshine and fresh air produce
this top grade alfalfa now ready for dehydration.
When cutting for dehydration neutralite products takes only the upper few inches
of the plant. The remainder is then cut for the compost piles.
As the alfalfa is harvested it is carried up by the conveyor
belt and dropped into a wagon.
Thus the alfalfa is cut, gathered and loaded in one operation without touching
the ground and is quickly taken from the field to the dehydration area.
The process of dehydration is an interesting one. Let's follow it.
The fresh alfalfa is put into this chopper and is cut into pieces small enough to
ensure quick, easy and efficient dehydration.
The chopped alfalfa is then carried mechanically to this tray loader which
spreads the alfalfa on trays evenly and in the right amount.
Workmen then load the trays into a drying rack and check to make sure the trays
are properly loaded for dehydration.
As the racks of fresh alfalfa are put into the dehydrator, racks of alfalfa which
have been dehydrated under rigidly controlled temperature are removed.
When the dehydrated alfalfa is removed from the dehydrator it is
emptied into a large hopper.
It then goes through the hammer mill to bring it to a flour-like fineness and is
poured from the hoppers into barrels.
The select watercress and parsley which are contained in neutralite food
supplement are processed here in the same manner.
When a barrel is full it is weighed and the weight recorded and at the same time
the container is flushed with a harmless inert gas.
The barrel is then sealed. The purpose of the inert gas is to displace air which
has an oxidizing effect on the alfalfa, watercress and parsley meal.
The number put on this barrel is one of the steps of constant
control, quality control.
This is but one of the accurate records, kept even long after the finished
product has been eaten, possibly at some far distant point.
The alfalfa, watercress and parsley meal is now ready for the next phase
in the long neutralite process.
Sealed, numbered and recorded, the containers are sent
by truck to the processing plant.
Buena Park, California is a thriving community some 20
miles northeast of Long Beach.
Here in Buena Park is the home of Neutralite Products Incorporated.
The neutralite plant is large and modern.
The scope of activity here is indicated by the amount of space required so that
many phases of the neutralite operation may be performed within the
confines of this one area.
The size of this storage building gives us an idea of the
activities of the entire plant.
Materials used in compounding neutralite are stored here until the neutralite
control laboratory has checked and approved their quality and potency to ensure
that they meet the high standards set by neutralite products.
This building is the extraction laboratory.
Only Carl Renborg and his immediate assistants are admitted to this building, for
these exclusive extraction processes are a closely guarded secret.
Here is produced the exclusive neutralite concentrate.
This is a concentrate chemically and mechanically extracted from alfalfa,
watercress, parsley and yeast and is found only in neutralite food supplement.
You should meet Carl Renborg. He is the man
who developed neutralite food supplement.
He has devoted many years to study and work in the field of nutrition.
The neutralite concentrate, processed by methods known only to neutralite and
obtainable only in neutralite products, was developed by Mr. Renborg.
This is where the neutralite capsule compound composed of the neutralite
concentrate and added crystalline vitamins and vitamin concentrates is mixed.
All possible care is taken to ensure the highest quality finished product.
The neutralite concentrate is placed in the mixer, together with the added
crystalline vitamins and vitamin concentrates in proper proportion.
A harmless inert gas is introduced into
the mixture to prevent oxidation.
After thorough mixing and blending, the neutralite compound
is ready for encapsulating.
The encapsulating process takes place here.
This machine places empty capsules into a circular metal disk.
The capsules are automatically uncapped. The machine then fills the lower part of
the capsule with the neutralite compound, which has been
fed into a hopper on the machine.
The disk is weighed and the weight and the batch number recorded by the operator.
Thus we see another step in the rigid control exercised by neutralite products.
The filled disk is now returned to the machine for capping of the capsule, and
the finished capsules are ready for packaging.
Several times during the processing of each batch, samplings are made, and an
extremely sensitive and delicate scale is used to ensure the correct weight for
every batch of material processed, thus more rigid control.
Samples also go to the quality control laboratory for analysis, to make certain
that the neutralite rigid standards are maintained.
Processing of the minerals is also done with great care. The minerals derived
from alfalfa, watercress, and parsley by neutralite processes, and the added
minerals used in neutralite food supplement, are here carefully weighed and
measured. Another step in the rigid control.
All the mineral ingredients are placed in this machine and thoroughly mixed.
To ensure proper consistency, the mixture is spread on trays and placed in a
drying room. Following the drying process, the mixture is placed in an
oscillator, which sifts the material into a fine granular
form ready for tableting.
The mineral mixture is fed into a hopper in the tableting machine, and is drawn
down onto a revolving plate, which contains indentations,
each of which is filled automatically.
Two sets of plungers work together to compress the mixture into tablet form under
several tons of pressure for squaring.
And here again is further evidence of neutralite's constant control. Throughout
this stage of the operation, the tablets are sampled frequently and weighed on
these very delicate scales.
The weight and batch number are recorded, and samples also go to the quality
control laboratory for analysis to assure that the high standards are maintained.
When it has been determined that the mineral tablets and the vitamin capsules
have met the rigid neutralite requirements, both are
brought to this room for packaging.
The filled capsules are emptied into hoppers, from which they are drawn by
slotted trays into bottles. Thus the count is automatic. This operation also
permits a last visual inspection.
As the filled bottles move along the line, a special machine stuffs cotton into
each bottle to ensure a firm package.
To guard against oxidation, this machine draws off the air and forces a harmless
inert gas into each bottle.
The bottles are then sealed airtight automatically by a machine that firmly
affixes the screw cap. The bottles are now ready for labeling.
Here the final operation takes place. Labels are affixed to the bottles
mechanically, and the bottles are now ready for packaging.
The mineral tablets are emptied into a hopper, and then are fed into automatic
counters. The counter releases the tablets into cellophane
bags, which are then placed in boxes.
A last visual inspection is made here also.
The bottle of capsules and the box of tablets are packed into one box, and once
again we notice that each is identified with its bank.
The package is then sealed in cellophane, packed one dozen to a carton, and the
operation at the NutriLite product plant is complete.
From the time the barreled alfalfa, watercress, and parsley meal left the
NutriLite product's farms, through the extracting, adding of minerals,
crystalline vitamins, and vitamin concentrates, measuring, boxing, and weighing,
a constant check has been made, and a constant control maintained.
Headquarters for the complete control plan are the NutriLite product's
laboratories, also located in Buena Park.
The activity of the NutriLite laboratories is divided into research and control.
The equipment here is some of the most recently developed
and most unique in its field.
The finest and most definitive mineral analysis is ensured by the use of the
spectrograph, invaluable in the type of analysis carried on in the laboratory.
The NutriLite laboratory is not only evidence of the thoroughness and care which
is lavished on the preparation of NutriLite food supplement, but it is a constant
reminder of the unceasing efforts in the direction of further progress in the
field of food supplementation made by this highly
competent, carefully trained staff.
Let's return now to the NutriLite plant. Here we have seen the preparation of the
NutriLite food supplement, the ultimate destination of which is your home.
Here in Long Beach, California, are located the offices
of Meitinger and Castleberry.
Meitinger and Castleberry Incorporated is the exclusive international distributor
of NutriLite food supplement. This building and the large, highly trained staff
are needed to meet the tremendous demand for NutriLite food supplement.
These young women are handling the correspondence made necessary by the hundreds
of thousands of men and women who avail themselves of NutriLite food supplement.
And in turn, the entire sales organization was made possible by the founders and
chief executives of Meitinger and Castleberry Incorporated, Mr. Lee Meitinger
and Dr. William Castleberry.
These two men provide leadership and inspiration to the many thousands of
distributors of NutriLite food supplement.
So we bring to a close the story of the preparation of NutriLite food supplement
from its start in the alfalfa fields of the beautiful Hammett Valley.
Through the precise scientific compounding of the NutriLite concentrate and the
added crystalline vitamins, vitamin concentrates and minerals
at NutriLite Products Incorporated.
Through the unceasing research and analysis at the NutriLite laboratory.
Through each step of rigid control, which assures you of the greatest accuracy
and the highest quality.
