Highest-Dose Immune Supplement on Market Launched by Healthycell
Next-generation, ultra-absorption MICROGEL™ supplement provides over 15 capsules worth of immune-boosting ingredients in one gel pack, delivering effective doses of science-backed nutrients.†
VERONA, N.J., Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthycell today announced the launch of IMMUNE SUPER BOOST, a new addition to its line of category-leading pill-free supplements, designed to support a strong and resilient immune system.†
Surveys show people worry about their immune health four times per day; that's 112 times per month. Studies also indicate that the immune response is weakened by the combination of stress, loneliness, and small social networks, which are all widespread issues today.
Healthycell Immune Super Boost (Natural Blackberry Flavor)
IMMUNE SUPER BOOST helps boost defense with an immunity-supercharging blend of phytonutrients, including Echinacea and Elderberry, plus vitamins and minerals that support white blood cell count, activate immune cells, promote healthy immune response, and support immune system regulation.†
"The problem with most multi-ingredient immune supplements is that they don't provide the effective doses shown by clinical studies to impact immunity," commented Healthycell CEO Douglas Giampapa. "Our product holds 25 mL of nutrients in one gel pack, making it easier to provide our customers with effective doses. IMMUNE SUPER BOOST has over 9,750 mg of nutrients in each gel pack, so people don't have to buy various bottles of different supplements to reach effective doses."
Formulated by an expert team of physicians and nutritionists, IMMUNE SUPER BOOST contains effective doses of vitamin C, vitamin D3, zinc, Echinacea extract, and Elderberry extract to support immunity.† It also includes other nutrients linked to immune support, such as beta-glucan, citrus pectin, polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamin E, and vitamin B6. †
With a great-tasting natural blackberry flavor, IMMUNE SUPER BOOST is a uniquely functional and delicious gel that can be enjoyed conveniently straight from the pack, mixed in water, or added to smoothies.
Healthycell uses only cruelty-free, sustainably-harvested ingredients, and packaging that is 100% recyclable. Product boxes are recyclable through municipal programs, and Healthycell is partnered with TerraCycle so customers can send back their empty gel packs to be recycled free of charge.

How to Properly Dispose of Your Vape Pens and Cartridges
Vaping cannabis is one of the most popular ways of consuming cannabis these days: it’s efficient, discreet, and there are many affordable models on the market.
Having said that, the vaping industry continues to grow in size.
But here’s the question no one is asking: what happens to all those disposed vape pens and cartridges? Have you thought about what happens to your pens and its parts when you throw it away?
The truth is that vape pens and cartridges fall into the same category as batteries, printer cartridges, or light bulbs in terms of waste disposal. Unless you take them to a hazardous waste facility, consumers are not left with much choice on the right way to dispose of them -unless you educate yourself well on your state’s available recycling programs.
In Canada, they’ve already made strides in this area. Tweed, a major cannabis company, partnered with TerraCycle, a recycling firm. Their Tweed x TerraCycle Cannabis Packaging Recycling Program was introduced on the day before cannabis was legalized back in October 2018. Within the first 6 months, they were already able to recycle 165,000 containers including those that are considered difficult to recycle such as bottles made with childproof covers, plastic bags, tins, tubes, and more. They have over 100 stores in Canada where customers can dispose of containers that are made from licensed producers.
Vape Batteries
Vape batteries that are made from lithium-ion are bad for the environment. They can leak or explode, and even start fires. Check with your municipal authorities on the available solutions for disposing electronic waste for your vape batteries; you can also ask your dispensary or even electronic retail shops in your neighborhood. You can dispose of batteries in battery recycling programs.
Undamaged vape batteries can be donated. Check out retailers such as The Home Depot, Best Buy, Lowe’s and Staples for recycling programs to keep batteries out of landfills while reducing the impact on the environment. If you know someone who’s starting out with vapes, you can also give it to them!
But if you have leaking or broken batteries, look for businesses that accept these kinds of batteries. Alternatively, if there are none in your area, look for local recycling centers. Even if some may not be able to accept it, they may be able to point you in the right direction.
Additionally, for electronic waste, the general guidelines for them is to be completely discharged, cooled, and left in storage submerged in cold saltwater for two weeks. After then, you can wrap up the battery and throw it into the trash.
Cannabis Vape Cartridges
The sad truth is that cannabis oil cartridges can’t be recycled. That’s because vape pens and cartridges require so many materials in small quantities to produce just one. In most cases, a typical vape pen will require up to 30 different parts: from glass to batteries, coil, ceramic, and much more, which is why it isn’t as simple as tossing a used pen or cartridge into the recycling bin. Because of the complexity of this situation, traditional recycling facilities still don’t have the right resources to deal with them.
It is also illegal for cannabis businesses to have drop-off bins; for one, vape oil cartridges are seen as contaminated products, which forbid them from being tossed into recycling services. Additionally, the unconsumed oil that remains in the vape pen cartridge no matter how much you try to finish it, can still be collected by the black market and resold. For example, in California, the cannabis waste regulations state that only certain cannabis waste management companies are allowed to process it.
What Can You Do To Be A More Environmentally-Friendly Vape Consumer?
Don’t feel helpless; there are steps you can take to reduce your impact on the environment while still enjoying tokes from your favorite vape pens. The best thing you can do is to invest in a high-quality refillable vape pen. Though the actual refilling will take some effort, you will be able to stop another pen or cartridge from ending up in the landfill.
There are also numerous sustainable cannabis oil and vape pen brands out there. Just like caring consumers like you, many brands are committed to staying away from single-serve products.
Educate yourself on materials that go into making vape products. Batteries that make use of cobalt or nickel cathodes are the most dangerous for the environment; aside from that, they are also toxic and can cause harm to human and animal health when disposed of incorrectly.
It also helps to proactively look out for green dispensaries. Many of them offer discounts and incentives for customers who want to recycle their vapes; they also usually cooperate with manufacturers so to make it easy for customers to bring items wherever convenient – not necessarily back to the dispensary you bought it from. However, these kinds of dispensaries aren’t as common as we’d like them to be, so just reach out to your local cannabis community to see if they know of others.
It’s also important for regulators and the proper authorities to implement laws making it easier for consumers in their area to dispose of vape pens, cartridges, and batteries responsibly. Though its just as important for cannabis entrepreneurs to come up with sustainable products, the responsibility doesn’t lie solely on them. Firefly CEO Steve Berg even went as far as teaming up with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Bureau of Cannabis Control to encourage lawmakers to create amendments in state cannabis laws that cater to recycling programs. “The original legislation did not really consider what happens to vaporizer cartridges after the sale, and these were things that could actually be recycled if the laws would permit,” Berg told the Californian. “Every state is different but it seems all states have this issue of not addressing the recycle aspect in their initial regulations.”

It’s no surprise that convenient, generalist websites like Amazon are thriving this year as the coronavirus pandemic has forced most Americans into their homes for the long haul. In fact, in March and April, Amazon was even discouraging its customers from purchasing too many items, as the massive influx of orders was causing a shortage of items and shipping delays.
Those issues aside, a growing reliance on online shopping is weighing heavily on the environment. According to Adobe Digital Economy Index’s latest data, U.S. e-commerce jumped by 49 percent in April, with online grocers experiencing a 110 percent boost in daily sales between March and April. Recent data suggests that e-commerce giant Alibaba’s single-day sales hit more than $38 billion in revenue this year, and according to Adept Packaging, those additional e-commerce sales resulted in 75 million extra plastic bags.
Here is where industry newcomer Loop swoops in — the brainchild of entrepreneur Tom Szaky, who created the innovative recycling company TerraCycle as a Princeton drop out with the goal to recycle the food waste from the university dining halls into fertilizer. His company is now worth $20 million, and he’s branching out.
In May of 2019 the program first started a webshop, supplying customers with the products they already know and love, from Haagen Dazs ice cream to Pantene shampoo and conditioner. The twist? Their containers were not just recyclable, but truly reusable — meaning they could be cleaned and then given a new life, if not a hundred.
Now, big name retailers including Kroger are planning to make space in stores for Loop next year, utilizing TerraCycle’s refillable packaging system. Customers will be able to visit Loop stations to purchase a wide array of household products, all sold in stainless steel tins that Loop has specifically designed to eventually be returned, cleaned and sold again in a “milkman” style system. The refundable packaging does come at a small cost to consumers, who are required to pay a deposit that ranges from $1 to $10, depending on the container’s size and material.
Loop’s Global Vice President of Creative and Communications, Lauren Taylor, says that the pandemic has fortunately not forced the company to shift priorities, sharing that, in fact, sales are at a platform-high. “Our priorities will continue to be aimed at eliminating waste and offering consumers their favorite brands and products in higher quality, better designed reusable packaging.”
“Loop just launched in the United Kingdom July 15, and as of Sep. 15, 2020, Loop will be available to consumers in every ZIP code in the 48 contiguous U.S. states,” says Taylor. “Next year we will launch in Toronto, Tokyo and Australia. We are also working with select fast-food restaurants and beauty stores to provide reusable packaging to consumers. Be on the lookout for that in 2021.”
How might that experience look in store? Well, at places such as Tesco in the United Kingdom and Carrefour in France, customers can be on the lookout for Loop corners, or areas of a store designed for products packaged in Loop’s containers. Aeon Co., Japan’s largest supermarket group, also plans to introduce Loop corners to 16 of their stores in the greater Tokyo area by next March.
“We want people to come in and fall in love with these really cute, beautiful packages, understand the message and get excited about it,” Satoshi Morikiyo, general manager of convenience goods at Aeon, told The Wall Street Journal. “Shopping trips are not necessarily something people look forward to, but this is a cool experience that offers something of a discovery—something new and fun.”
Indeed, Taylor tells Changing America that with more than 100,000 people signed up for Loop, they’re excited to be expanding their services to the entirety of the continental United States and that rapidly growing consumer demand has secured Loop more than 80 partners and 400 products — a number that continues to grow weekly.
