Kyowa Hakko USA Celebrates 50 Years of Innovation at Supply Side West

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Kyowa Hakko USA, a subsidiary of Kyowa Hakko Bio Co. Ltd. and a world leader in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of international pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and food products, took to the exhibition floor at this year’s Supply Side West trade show in Las Vegas Oct 17 & 18, joining over 1,300 other dietary supplement, food, beverage, personal care, sports nutrition and processing innovation suppliers in the space.

Kyowa Hakko’s exhibit was buzzing with excitement this year as New York Times best-selling author Max Lugavere was at the booth on Thursday to continue his educational series with Kyowa Hakko’s branded brain health ingredient, Cognizin® Citicoline. Lugavere hosted a Genius Foods book signing while providing additional education to interested show-goers on the brain health benefits of citicoline and Kyowa’s efforts in providing a researched-backed supplement ingredient that can help increase levels of citicoline in the body, while supporting focus and attention*.

On the same day, Kyowa Hakko also held an intense, interactive ‘Tap to Win’ Tap Test competition at their booth, drawing a crowd of intrigued industry professionals to test how many ‘taps’ they could achieve in 20 seconds. The Cognizin® branded “Tap to Win” gaming app was inspired by a recent study that used the Finger Tap Test to reveal that supplementing with Cognizin® Citicoline over a 30-day period supported improved attentional abilities, psychomotor speed and inhibition levels in healthy adolescent males (McGlade, et al., 2015). The competition was fierce as the top three winners, which ranked from 201 taps, 199 taps, and 187 taps, excitedly took home prizes such as an Apple Watch, Air Pods and a $100 Apple gift certificate.

A champagne toast and celebratory cupcakes wrapped up an exciting day.

On Friday, Elyse Lovett, MS, MBA, Senior Marketing Manager at Kyowa Hakko U.S.A. Inc, gave an informative presentation on ‘Innovation Fueling the Nootropics Market: Cognizin® Citicoline Leading the Way’ which included cognitive health trends and emerging consumer categories.

Lovett commented, “We were so excited to celebrate and recognize Kyowa Hakko USA’s innovative accomplishments over the past 50 years. As we embark on the next 50, we look forward to continuing our advancements in improving health with our clinically-studied ingredients for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and food products worldwide.”

As industry leaders in innovative, branded health ingredients, Kyowa Hakko showcased their other novel branded ingredients Setria® Glutathione and Sustamine® L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine at the booth. Setria® Glutathione, a branded form of glutathione, is clinically studied to neutralize free radicals and support detoxification, immunity, and skin brightening*. Sustamine® L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine is a branded, unique combination of L-Glutamine and L-Alanyl, and is clinically tested to support exercise performance, improve hydration over water alone, and support the integrity of the GI tract*.

Belle Meade Family Dentistry Restores Smiles with Bone Grafts and Dental Implants in Nashville, TN

Belle Meade Family Dentistry Improves Dental Implant Candidacy in Nashville, TN

With dental implants, patients can experience a more natural quality of life as implants feel, look and function just like real teeth.


Nashville, TN (PRWEB)

Patients seeking dental implants in Nashville, TN can improve their candidacy for the treatment with a bone graft at Belle Meade Family Dentistry with or without a referral. A bone graft is a dental treatment that rebuilds deteriorated jawbone, restores jawbone density and volume and in most cases, allows patients to qualify for life-changing dental implants. Belle Meade Family Dentistry offers modern bone grafting care as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to restore patients’ oral health and overall quality of life.

Patients who qualify for a bone graft, experience jawbone deterioration often caused by tooth loss, oral damage or disease. When the jaw bone deteriorates, there is less bone structure to support teeth, which can cause remaining teeth to begin to shift or fall out. Additionally, jawbone loss alters a patient’s facial appearance, causing an aged, sunken-in look. Without this bone, dental implants, the most preferred tooth replacement solution available today, cannot be placed.

The best solution to bone loss is a bone graft, which can restore bone volume, renew a natural-looking facial appearance and help patients qualify for the placement of dental implants. At Belle Meade Family Dentistry, the practice incorporates bone grafting into their treatment plans for replacing teeth. The practice begins with a cone beam CT scan of the mouth and jaw to capture detailed images of the bone volume, tooth location and position of nerves. This scan is then used to help plan where the bone graft will need to be performed and where to position the dental implants. The graft material is composed of bone granules that are packed around the bone recession and protected to heal. After healing for several weeks to a few months, dental implants will have sufficient bone support to be placed.

Belle Meade Family Dentistry offers advanced tooth restoration solutions depending on each patient’s needs. For those with individual missing teeth, single dental implants can be placed and restored. Patients who are missing most or all of their teeth can benefit from All-on-4® full mouth dental implants, which utilizes as few as four implants to support a lifelike bridge of teeth. The practice also features teeth-in-a-day dental implant solutions, which allows them to create natural, long-term crowns that can be affixed to dental implants the same day surgery takes place. With dental implants, patients can experience a more natural quality of life as implants feel, look and function just like real teeth.

Patients in need of a bone graft to qualify for dental implants are encouraged to contact Belle Meade Family Dentistry by calling 615-298-2030 or visiting the website http://www.bellemeadedental.com to schedule a consultation.

Dr. Amir HagShenas Provides Comfortable, Clear Braces to San Jose, CA with Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Dr. Amir HagShenas Provides Invisalign® Clear Braces to San Jose, CA

The aligners are molded to achieve gentle, firm movement, and provide just enough force to realign the teeth.


San Jose, CA (PRWEB)

Dr. Amir HagShenas of Silicon Valley Smile Solutions welcomes adolescents and adults correct crooked smiles with Invisalign® clear aligners. For many individuals seeking straighter teeth, clear braces offer an ideal way to discreetly receive orthodontic treatment. At Silicon Valley Smile Solutions, Dr. HagShenas and his team strive to offer the most advanced orthodontic solutions, tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Having properly aligned, more aesthetically pleasing teeth is important to many. Studies show that 81 percent of individuals feel as if their smile looks unattractive in images. Those who choose to straighten crooked teeth with an orthodontic treatment such as clear braces report greatly improved confidence.

Dr. HagShenas’ Invisalign patients can expect to wear customized clear aligners over their teeth for 20 to 22 hours per day. The aligners are molded to achieve gentle, firm movement, and provide just enough force to realign the teeth. About every two weeks, patients remove their current aligner to replace it with a new one. By the end of the treatment, their teeth have shifted into the desired straightened position.

Typically, Invisalign achieves results faster and more comfortably than traditional bracketed braces. Additionally, patients can remove the aligners to eat and perform oral hygiene routines. Teenagers and adults, especially professionals and athletes, appreciate the low-profile of clear braces. Although retainers must be worn after undergoing Invisalign treatment, the use of retainers is relegated to evenings and overnight.

Dr. HagShenas strives to provide the highest level of care for his San Jose patients in every procedure. In addition to Invisalign, Dr. HagShenas provides other cutting-edge treatments including dental implants and full arch dental implant treatments.

Those in San Jose, CA interested in finding out if Invisalign is right for their needs are invited to make a consultative appointment with Dr. HagShenas by calling 408-377-5134 or visiting http://www.svsmilesolutions.com.

How Fast Guard Service Is Saving Companies Millions Of Dollars

Leave a comment


Fast Guard Service

Fast Guard Service

Fast Guard Service is a fully regulated, insured, and licensed company who deal with all aspects of commercial security.


MIAMI (PRWEB)

Businesses have an obligation to ensure customer safety is adequately serviced whilst on their premises. Should a crime occur and the company is proven to have been negligent in their responsibility, legal payouts often stretch into millions of dollars. Many companies fall foul of such litigation because of the use of outdated security processes that haven’t been updated to take into account increased levels of crime in their area.

Fast Guard Service is helping enterprises re-assess their obligations and put in place robust security measures, such as security guards and CCTV camera installation, to provide a safe client environment. This dramatically reduces the odds of judicial proceedings and also has other positive repercussions, including increased marketability and lower insurance rates.

Liability For Damages

Judges often rule in favor of victims seeking reparations against companies failing to provide elevated security measures when there has been a known increase in crime in the area and for not having 24/7 on-site security. Apartment complexes, shopping malls, clubs, sports stadiums, parking garages, and many other companies can all be held liable if an incident occurs on their premises and no proper security measures were in place to protect visitors from harm. This is why every company located in moderate-high crime areas should take the proper measures to secure their property and prevent incidents that could result in the payout of millions of dollars, should they occur.

Security Services Save Money And Lives

Many business owners are blissfully unaware of their accountability should a crime occur on their premises. Far too often there’s no security present, or in the case of security cameras, they either don’t work or aren’t adequately monitored. Very importantly, if crime statistics are on the rise, or if the police have increased their presence as a crime deterrent yet a company has failed to raise their security to match, this can lead to increased fiduciary responsibility.

Therefore it’s essential that business owners and managers engage a professional service to carry out an effective security assessment and put in place the security necessary. Savvy companies take advantage of a business security service that will assist with putting proactive measures in place, therefore effectively decreasing the likelihood of such incidents occurring. Deterrents such as on-site security guards, 24/7 monitored CCTV, security gates and the like provide a safe environment for clients and actively deter criminals.

Fast Guard Service is a global leader in such security. Entrusted by some of the biggest business names in the US and worldwide, their experienced team works with companies to assess their situation and put in place the most effective security solutions.

Security in the 21st century isn’t solely about preventing crime, it’s also about ensuring clients trust their safety is well looked after and the positive repercussions this brings, such as lower insurance premiums and increased marketability. In addition, should the worst happen, lawsuit verdicts are far more likely to be found in a company’s favor if it can be shown that staunch security measures are in place. Fast Guard Service is a fully regulated, insured, and licensed company who deal with all aspects of commercial security. More information can be found at https://fastguardservice.com

JawFixers Customizes Full Mouth Reconstruction with Expert Oral Surgery in West Hartford, CT

Drs. Joel Rosenlicht and Ryaz Ansari Customize Oral Surgery in West Hartford, CT

The most important part about being an oral surgeon is the dramatic change you can make on people’s lives.


West Hartford, CT (PRWEB)

Patients in need of advanced or complex oral surgery in West Hartford, CT and surrounding areas can receive customized treatments from Drs. Joel Rosenlicht and Ryaz Ansari of JawFixers. Full mouth reconstruction is often recommended when patients require multiple treatments or advanced oral surgery, such as dental implant treatment, to restore function to their mouth. As oral surgeons, Drs. Rosenlicht and Ansari offer leading care backed by years of education and experience paired with cutting-edge technology.

“The most important part about being an oral surgeon is the dramatic change you can make on people’s lives, especially when you are able to do something you feel only you can do,” says Dr. Ansari. “That goes for complex cases, which are often rare circumstances. You take all your knowledge and put it together to offer the patient truly unique treatment. When that succeeds, that is what being an oral surgeon is all about.”

Full mouth reconstruction is a treatment plan used in oral surgery that combines multiple oral and maxillofacial procedures together to produce a desired outcome. At JawFixers, that treatment plan is uniquely designed for each patient after a comprehensive consultation and exam. This team utilizes advanced technology, modern dental techniques and sedation dentistry to give patients a plan that targets their concerns specifically. Common treatments used in full mouth reconstruction oral surgery include:

  • Dental implants

  • Bone grafts and sinus lifts

  • Corrective jaw surgery

  • Tooth extractions

  • Guided tissue regeneration

Patients who need complex oral surgery often experience tooth loss, jaw pain, facial trauma, extensive tooth decay, and widespread bone loss throughout their jaw. These factors are all taken into consideration when creating a full mouth reconstruction treatment plan. Drs. Rosenlicht and Ansari use i-CAT® 3D cone beam CT imaging to capture detailed images of a patient’s mouth in order to fully understand the extent of the patient’s needs. When a patient requires dental implants, they use X-Guide™, a guided dental implant technology that assists the oral surgeons in placing the implant in the most accurate location of the jaw for long-lasting stability. Drs. Rosenlicht and Ansari also care about patient comfort, offering sedation dentistry to help ease anxiety and block sensations of pain.

Once completed, full mouth reconstruction can restore a patient’s ability to speak, eat, breathe and resume normal oral function without pain or struggle. For those who have experienced severe oral and facial trauma as a result of an accident, the treatments can restore a sense of normalcy to their lives. Treatments such as dental implants can often serve multiple purposes, like preventing further bone loss, improving confidence and allowing patients to eat a wide variety of food again.

Those interested in learning more about full mouth reconstruction, or who would like a customized treatment plan for their oral surgery needs, are invited to contact JawFixers by calling 860-649-2272 for their Manchester, CT office or 860-232-4606 for their West Hartford, CT location. Appointments can also be made on the website, http://www.jawfixers.com.

About the Oral Surgeons

The board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons at JawFixers are skilled specialists offering leading-edge and minimally invasive care at their two practice locations in Manchester, CT and West Hartford, CT. With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Joel Rosenlicht is an esteemed author and lecturer and has developed techniques to further his field. Dr. Ryaz Ansari brings a passion for technology and oral surgery with extensive experience in implant therapy and dentoalveolar surgery. Using advanced imaging, Yomi® robotic-assisted technology and EXPAREL® for opioid-free pain management, this team strives to provide the best care and experience possible for their patients.

Rosenlicht and Ansari or their services, visit http://www.jawfixers.com or call 860-649-2272 for their Manchester, CT office or 860-232-4606 for their West Hartford, CT practice.
