following is a letter from Bob Barefoot sent to distributors
of Coral Calcium Supreme. This letter is to touch on
some of the counterfeit product that is becoming all
too commonplace, and is reprinted with permission and
in its original context:
To: All Coral
Calcium customers,
Recently there has been a rash of illegally manufactured
Coral Calcium Supreme™, and Bob Barefoot's Best
Coral Calcium Supreme Plus™. These companies continue
to make an inferior product and put my label on their
bottle even though I have made repeated demands that
they stop this. They have altered my formula, and I
am certain that these companies are not using high-grade
marine coral from Okinawa Japan. That is why they are
able to offer such low prices for their fraudulent products.

Coral Calcium products. |

Counterfeit
|
The bottle shape and
colors do not vary. Anything different that the
"Authentic" bottle is counterfeit. |
There are three
primary methods to tell if you may have received a counterfeit
product:
1) The
Bottle:
- The label on the bottle
of authentic Coral Calcium Supreme and Coral Calcium
Supreme Plus has the image and signature of Bob
Barefoot. Prior to 2004, authentic Coral
Calcium products did not feature these images, but
to try to combat the counterfeiting these changes
were made. Typically, you do not see these images
on the counterfeit bottles of original Coral Calcium
Supreme. Also, some counterfeit products have variances
in label colors & design.
- Bottles of Coral Calcium
Supreme Plus will be shaped exactly like the "Authentic"
image above. The tall, skinny bottle with
the large lid is counterfeit as is any other variance.
2) Caplet
Color: Another indication that a product
may be counterfeit is by the color of the caplets.
For instance, with authentic Bob's Best Coral Calcium
Supreme Plus, the caplet will be a yellowish color.
The counterfeit caplets are typically white.
3) Bar
Code: If the label does not say “Manufactured
for e-evolutions”, and if the barcode
does not start out with 58442 or there is no bar code
at all, and if Bob Barefoot's picture is not on the
label, then this is an illegally manufactured product.
I would also
like to add that Coral Calcium Daily, Body Genix, and
Natures Benefits ‘Barefoots Coral Calcium Plus’,
among others are not my products. I did not
formulate them and I do not endorse them, the only coral
calcium products I endorse and manufacture is Coral
Calcium Supreme™, and Bob Barefoots Best Coral
Calcium Supreme Plus™.
My attorneys have issued cease a desist
to the following Companies:
- Protec Laboratories, Belmont TX.
- The Chemins Company, Colorado
Springs CO.
- Science Supplements Labs, Las
Vegas NV
Best regards,
Bob Barefoot
