MAP Policy

Maximum Advertised Price Policy

Effective August 2019

 As a condition of being an authorized dealer or distributor of Symphony Natural Health (“SNH”) products, whether brick and mortar, catalog or internet retailer (a “reseller”), the reseller shall comply with all of the following terms and conditions. Failure to do so will result in termination of status as a reseller of SNH products.

MAP Policy Terms and Conditions:

• MAP Policy. The reseller shall comply with the Maximum Advertised Price (“MAP”) policy that SNH maintains for its products. The MAP policy is applicable to all SNH resellers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central or South America.

• Advertised Price. The MAP policy applies to all advertisements for any SNH products in any and all media, including, but not limited to newspapers, magazines, catalogues, flyers, coupons, posters, mailers, inserts, email, internet and like electronic media, radio, television, billboards and all public displays. The MAP policy applies to the price at which SNH products are ADVERTISED for sale to individual consumers.

• MSRP. The MAP policy establishes a maximum and minimum advertised price equal to the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (“MSRP”). The MSRP is set by SNH as indicated by current published pricing supplied by SNH. The advertised price for any SNH product (whether or not the advertised price includes a discount) must be equal to the MSRP, unless pre-approved in writing by a National Sales Manager at SNH. SNH retains the right to modify the MSRP at any time and will notify all resellers of such price modifications. All resellers must implement such modifications within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice.

• Sales Price. The MAP policy does not apply to or limit actual sales price. Actual sales price for SNH product is within the reseller’s discretion.

• Affiliated resellers. Multiple reseller accounts under different business names or d/b/a’s, but under the control of a common parent corporation or other common owner(s), will be subject to the MAP policy. The reseller shall identify to SNH, in writing, all such affiliated resellers.

• Violation & Termination. A violation of the MAP policy is grounds for SNH to immediately terminate the reseller’s relationship with SNH and authorization to resell SNH products. Upon termination of a reseller’s relationship with SNH and authorization to resell SNH products, SNH shall repurchase, at the reseller’s cost, all SNH products that remain in merchantable condition (as determined by SNH in its reasonable discretion) less 20% restocking fee. The cost of return shipping for such product shall be borne by the reseller.

• General Terms & Conditions. General Terms & Conditions applicable to all resellers are set forth below.

• Acceptance: The reseller shall inspect all product delivered within two (2) days of delivery. If, in the course of such inspection, any of the product is found to be defective, the reseller may, within three (3) days of delivery, reject same by notifying SNH in writing thereof and returning such defective product to SNH. The cost of such return shall be borne by SNH, but in no event shall SNH be responsible for any amounts in excess of such cost. Upon receipt of such returned defective product, SNH shall, at its option, replace such returned defective product with product that is not defective or refund (or credit) the purchase price paid by the reseller therefor. If the reseller has not timely given notice of rejection and returned product as aforesaid (hereafter collectively, “notice of rejection”), the product shall be deemed accepted.

• Payment: The reseller shall pay all amounts due upon receipt of the applicable SNH invoice, except with respect to product for which notice of rejection is timely given pursuant to the Acceptance clause above. Payment shall be deemed made on the date SNH receives same. Commencing thirty (30) days after date of invoice, interest shall accrue at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the unpaid balance, except with respect to amounts invoiced on account of product for which notice of rejection is timely given pursuant to the Acceptance clause above.

• Warranty & Liability: SNH warrants that the product shall be merchantable. SNH makes no other warranty, express or implied, including but not limited to any warranty of fitness for particular purpose or any similar or other warranty. In no event shall SNH be liable to the reseller for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages. In the event of a breach of warranty by SNH, SNH’s liability shall be limited to the purchase price paid by the reseller for the product that gave rise to such breach.

• Compliance with Laws: The reseller agrees to comply fully with all applicable federal, state, or local laws, rules, or regulations, including but not limited to laws and regulations concerning the retail sale of the product.

• Shipping and Risk of Loss: SNH shall cause the product to be shipped to the reseller. The reseller shall be liable for the cost of shipment.

All claims and disputes between SNH and the reseller relating to the purchase or sale of SNH products, or otherwise, shall be settled by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall be in San Francisco, CA, before a single neutral arbitrator selected by the Association and approved by the parties (provided, no party may disapprove more than two proposed arbitrators). SNH shall be entitled to recover its attorney fees and costs incurred in enforcing the foregoing terms and conditions and any related invoice. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be confidential, final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. If any provision herein is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

• Amendment: SNH reserves the right to amend the foregoing terms and conditions upon 15 days written notice to the reseller at any time.

• Entire Agreement: The foregoing terms and conditions, and any invoice(s) relating to the sale of SNH products to the reseller, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior representations or agreements, oral or otherwise, with respect thereto.

Are You Using the Right Type of Maca?

Are You Using the Right Type of Maca?

By Peter Bablis PhD, DC, ND, LAc, Dip. Clinical Nutrition, Herbalist, Homeopathy

From the Author: As a college lecturer, integrative functional doctor, and medical herbalist, I have used as well as keenly followed the research into maca (Lepidium peruvianum) over the past 15 years. In my practice, and in keeping with the research of the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, my focus has always been maca’s use for men in relation to fertility and energy. I used a standard maca powder for this application with fair success, but had never really seen strong or consistent results in women except for improved energy. However, over the last 10 years, the focus of my lectures and use of particular products has shifted also to women as I have become aware that not all maca is the same.

About Maca

Maca is an adaptogenic herb cultivated in the central Peruvian Andes at 12-14,000 feet under harsh natural growing and weather conditions. Adaptogens are an extremely rare class of herbs that modulate the body’s response by supporting systems within the body to deal with stress, anxiety, and fatigue. So rare in fact, that Russian researchers studying the mode of action of over 4,000 plants found only 12 true adaptogens amongst them. Other common adaptogenic plants include ginseng, ashwagandha, eleuthero, holy basil, licorice, rhodiola, and schisandra.

It is important to point out that much of the research appears to demonstrate that adaptogens only impact the adrenal glands, thus the increase in energy and improvement in dealing with stress, regulating cortisol as an example. However, at no point in the definition of an adaptogen do balancing hormones, increases in bone density, cardiovascular health, sexual function, or many other areas of health get mentioned. These statements have been added since, by companies trying to sell products, or mistakenly added to all adaptogens when in fact research into only one herb (which happens to be an adaptogen) may have demonstrated one of these particular benefits.

This is what makes adaptogens so interesting – while they all improve the body’s ability to deal with stress, anxiety, and fatigue, some have other benefits and maca appears to potentially do the most of all. This is why many scientists and doctors were not surprised when research over the last fourteen years demonstrated that there are many different phenotypes of maca that have different physiological effects on the body (Phenotype: the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, as determined by both genetic makeup and environmental influences).

Maca has a wide range of active constituents including amino acids, glucosinolates, phytosterols, and alkaloids. However, research has demonstrated that there are in fact 13 different phenotypes within the species Lepidium peruvianum (maca) that exhibit different colors, different DNA, different analytical profiles and most importantly different physiological effects on the body.1 Interestingly the differences don’t stop there. The altitude at which the product is cultivated also plays a part. Different cultivation elevations result in different concentrations and phytochemical profiles indicating that this may also impact therapeutic functionality.2

The Importance of Using the Right Maca Phenotype

Dr. Gustavo F. Gonzales from the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru has published some very interesting research regarding different maca phenotypes in relation to men’s health.3 For example, his research has demonstrated that while the red maca phenotype may reduce the size of an enlarged prostate, other phenotypes won’t, or may even increase the size. Red maca also proved to be the most effective in improving mood,4 while black maca is considered the strongest in energy-promoting properties as well as the ability to balance blood glucose levels.5, 6, 7 In other studies, black maca alone was also shown to improve sperm motility and count, while yellow or red maca did not.8, 9

Further discoveries by Dr. G.F. Gonzales’ research group discovered in two different studies that black and red maca can improve libido and bone health, but yellow did not and that black maca is best for influencing memory and learning.10, 11 A landmark study in regards to maca, published in 2005, demonstrated that yellow maca increased uterine weight and litter size without impacting fetal weight when compared to other phenotypes, indicating that there are potentially different types of maca that are better suited to supporting fertility for men and others for women.12 Uterine weight indicates the volume of the uterus. Larger and heavier uteri are best for fertility. Differences in phenotype also lead to different types of protection to the skin in topical studies.13 Exploration of the differences of concentration of active constituents among the different phenotypes was performed by Clement and revealed that “color type has to be considered in maca production, as color associates with variations in concentrations of distinct bioactive metabolites.”14

James Frame CEO, Dr Henry Meissner in Peru

In addition, Dr. Henry Meissner, Symphony Natural Health’s Director of Research and Development, has published groundbreaking research on specific, concentrated gelatinized maca phenotype combinations. Known as Maca-GO® (or commercially as Femmenessence), these concentrated combinations specifically affect hormone levels in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women and are to date the only clinical trials on any maca product to demonstrate statistically significant effects on hormones in women.15, 16 

In fact, all other studies by Brooks, Oshima, and Mazaro-Costa on normal raw maca powders or gelatinized maca have shown no statistically significant effect on hormones in perimenopausal or postmenopausal women.17, 18, 19 In the double-blind, placebo-crossover human trials conducted by Meissner, he found that specific phenotype combinations and concentrated levels of all the active ingredients are critical to ensuring actual, measurable physiological effects on hormones, lipids, and bone density. 20, 21

Meissner’s research has further evolved this concept of different phenotypes by introducing three concentrated phenotype combination products for women depending on their stage of life. The Femmenessence MacaPause phenotype combination is designed to improve a postmenopausal women’s hormone production. This combination has resulted in statistically significant increases in estradiol (P<0.001), increases in progesterone, and reductions in FSH (P<0.05), highly significant reductions in menopausal symptoms as well as increases in HDL “good cholesterol,” reductions in LDL “bad cholesterol,” triglycerides, and body weight as well as increases in bone density.22

The Femmenessence MacaLife concentrated phenotype combination is designed to reduce menopausal symptoms and modulate mood associated with perimenopause and the fluctuation of hormones during this stage of life and Femmenessence MacaHarmony is for younger women to address hormone imbalance around a wide variety of conditions such as PMS and fertility.23, 24, 25, 26

In men, I have also used different phenotype combinations such as red gelatinized maca to reduce prostate size and another combination called Revolution Macalibrium® (Maca-OG™) to counter low testosterone and adrenal fatigue.27

My Clinical Experience

In my clinic, I have seen firsthand the effect of using specific maca phenotypes for specific populations. As opposed to just “feeling better,” my female patients have experienced actual physiological changes in hormone levels after using the different Femmenessence phenotype combinations.

Addressing conditions ranging from PCOS, amenorrhea, PMS, fertility and adrenal fatigue to hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood, heart and bone health.28 Using the right phenotype has proven to be so critical, that it can mean the difference between a positive and a negative outcome with PCOS and thyroid being the most profound. I have seen women using standard maca powders which primarily impact the adrenal glands actually experience worsening PCOS and Hashimoto’s symptoms, while women using Femmenessence which primarily supports the hypothalamus, for PCOS and Hashimoto’s, are having excellent results.

Quality Matters

Another factor in relation to maca is the bioavailability and concentration of the active ingredients required to elicit physiological effects.29, 30, 31

Quality of seed sources, soil content, organic farming strategies, and drying methods all play a part in maximizing the quality of all active constituents. Interestingly, the higher elevation, region-specific quality soil (Ancash and Junin Plateau), and traditional sun-drying of the crop at elevation over a period of three months (not in tobacco dryers in Lima), have all been shown to contribute to the highest quality raw material. For example, published evidence suggests that the planting site is a major determining factor in regard to the constituents of maca.32

In relation to manufacturing, maca is a tuber and is naturally hard to digest raw. For that reason, the native Peruvians traditionally cooked maca the same way we would a potato. Scientifically this process of improving bioavailability has been addressed through gelatinization, with Dr. Meissner and La Molina University being the leaders in developing their own processes. Raw maca has a natural water solubility of 68% with gelatinized macas ranging from 87-98%, while Meissner has perfected the process to such a degree that Maca-GO® (Femmenessence) is 98-99% water-soluble.33

As the natural products industry continues to evolve, it is critical that we combine the best of traditional knowledge, organic sustainable farming practices with the highest levels of science, manufacturing and quality control. All herbs are not created equal, therefore it is important to investigate them in detail, support their use with pharmacology, toxicology and human placebo-controlled clinical trials published in medical journals and use efficacious products with therapeutic levels that elicit real health benefits.
