More Sex, Less Weight. Blue-Bottled Formula
Silences Critics in Phase I

GARDEN GROVE, CA--(INTERNET WIRE)--Mar 15, 2003 -- Cobalt
ACV is a new liquid extract of 15 herbs including yohimbe,
maca, horny goat weed and 12 more aphrodisiacs. Unprocessed,
one dose is the size of a golf ball.
Chemists attempted to extract the active compounds using 50%
grain alcohol, a common industry method, which failed, as
did every other extraction method available to the research
team. In a twist of fate, an experimental, highly acidic apple
cider vinegar (ACV) produced the optimum concentrations. Acidity
was then reduced to 5% and bottled. But the experimental vinegar
had an unintended effect -- reduction in appetite.
On March 11, Wayne Hammond, Ph.D. of Cachet Laboratories
announced Phase I clinical trials on Cobalt ACV demonstrated
significant increase in sex drive among the group taking the
real extract compared to liquid placebo. But the surprise
was decreased appetite reports from the non-placebo group.
The double-blind study was conducted in accordance with IOM
guidelines developed to comply with the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services' (HHS) mandate for ethics, integrity
and standardization in human clinical trials.
Douglas Paiva, VP of Business Development at Herbal Nurse,
credited high levels of MacaSource® for the libido increases
documented in the study. MacaSource® is a "gelatinized,"
or extruded, derivative of Peruvian maca root which produced
a 180% increase in sexual desire, 200% increase in fertility,
and is experiencing widespread use as a natural hormone replacement
therapy (HRT) progesterone alternative in women in several
recent clinical studies. Mr. Paiva also pointed out that neither
Herbal Nurse or Maca Source sponsored or funded any of the
maca trials.
