Nanotechnology Revolution

Albert Einstein predicted the Nanotechnology Revolution years ago and today it has arrived! It will produce incredible new products in many different fields -- health care, aerospace, medicine, fabrics, electronics, ceramics, engineering, environmental protection, and the biological sciences.

In 1985, an early step in the Nanotechnology revolution occurred. Professors Rick Smalley, Robert Curl, and Harold Kroto at Rice University discovered the buckyball. It is a soccer-ball-shaped molecule that contains 60-carbon atoms. It is a superconductor of electrons, and is now being used in the development of many technical advances for mankind. The three Rice Professors won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry

"..four of the defining technologies of the 21st century will be nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and environmental science."..."the potential both for improving the quality and increasing the length of life has never been greater."

    - Malcolm Gillis, President of Rice University

Rice University became one of the first institutions to recognize the potential of Nanotechnology. The school built a $30 million building establishing The Center for Science and Nanoscale Technology, staffed with 40 scientists, and equipped with advanced instruments to work with atomic-size particles. Rice University has become a world leader in the development of Nanotechnology. Rice encouraged outside industry to participate in development projects. An alumnus of Rice, RBC's President Clinton Howard is a member of The Rice Alliance For Technology And Entrepreneurship.

A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, -- the width of six hydrogen atoms. Nanotechnology involves the manufacture and manipulation of molecules from 1-100 nanometers in size. RBC's Microhydrin® silica hydride molecules are 1-5 nanometers in diameter. Nanotechnology offers the potential to create new healthful RBC supplements and skin care products made with nanoscale ingredients. We will refer to this group of products as NanoCeuticals™.

"If I were asked for an area of science and engineering that will most likely produce the breakthroughs of tomorrow, I would point to nanoscale science and engineering."

New Nanoceutical Products

Last December we expanded the RBC Team of Scientists. Dr. J. Lee Phelps was appointed Director of Research and Development at RBC. He earned a Ph.D. in Pharmacology at Columbia University, and a Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) in Chemistry from the University of California. He has had a distinguished 25-year career in R&D, formulation, and manufacturing of nutritional products.

Scavenge Free Radicals: New Microhydrin scavenges even more of the dangerous free radicals--the reason you take antioxidants. In tests at the University of Colorado Health Science Center, new Microhydrin® was shown to provide 828% higher ORAC (scavenging of free radicals) than the previous silica hydride not manufactured by RBC.



The ORAC analysis, which utilizes Fluorescein as the fluorescent probe, provides a measure of the scavenging capacity of anitoxidants against the peroxyl radical, which is one of the most common reactive oxygen species (ROS) found in the body. Trolox, a water-soluble Vitamin E analog, is used as the calibration standard and the ORAC result is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent (TE) per gram.

This test shows that, as an antioxidant, RBC’s New Microhydrin is 828% stronger than our original silica hydride.

1. Stimulates The Source Of Energy: NADH is the precursor of ATP, your source of energy. New Microhydrin was shown in an independent university study, to reduce NAD to NADH seven times stronger than the previous silica hydride not manufactured by RBC.

2. Increases Hydration: Microhydrin has been shown in a double-blind controlled clinical study to increase cellular and extra cellular hydration and total body water.

3. Reduces Lactic Acid During Exercise: New Microhydrin was shown in a university study to reduce the levels of lactic acid during strenuous exercise.

NanoClusters™

R&D Scientists at RBC also developed NanoClusters™, a nanosize powder that combines with nutritional supplements. When consumed, it reduces the surface tension of foods and supplements to increase wetness and absorption of nutrients. It replaces our previous microclusters ingredient.

HydraCel™

The RBC Team of Scientists has also created a liquid water treatment HydraCel™. It further reduces surface tension of liquids, increases alkalinity, and converts chlorine in water to a non-toxic form to make a healthier drink.

Microhydrin® Plus

All antioxidants scavenge free radicals. They should also provide electrons for energy. To accomplish these goals even more effectively, the R&D team at RBC created, a broad spectrum of Microhydrin plus eight additional water-based and oil-based antioxidants. An independent laboratory conducted the most accepted antioxidant test, ORAC. Test results showed that the new formula of Microhydrin® Plus was 126 times more effective than the previous form of silica hydride not manufactured by RBC.
