Many of you would have seen by now that our top selling oxygen based colon cleanser, Oxy-Powder is now being provided in glass bottles. For some people this has led to puzzlement, even to the degree of people questioning whether it was still the same product. We have been asked whether we had changed suppliers. Others have questioned whether we might even be selling a counterfeit product.

Well, we can assure you that it is exactly the same Oxy-Powder product as before, except that it’s in a glass bottle. The change to the glass bottle was a decision made by the manufacturer, and we were to say the least not happy about it.

Why did we disagree with putting Oxy-Powder in glass containers?

The suppliers said they were doing it primarily for environmental reasons (glass being more environmentally friendly than plastic). I believe their intentions were good. However this had not been thought through properly, at least when shipping from the USA to the UK.

This is because it required a large amount of ADDITIONAL plastic bubble wrap for packaging. Add to that ADDITIONAL cardboard boxes (with plastic we could use jiffy bags), ADDITIONAL fossil fuel usage due to needless extra weight (the glass bottles were around 3 x heavier than the plastic bottles), ADDITIONAL shipping costs to send to the UK, ADDITIONAL shipping cost to send the Oxy-Powder out of the UK to our non UK customers, and ADDITIONAL time for my staff, which they were constantly complaining to me about.

The final straw came when we placed an order for around 1000 bottles, and over 70 of them arrived smashed as in the adjacent image.

The good news is that after going pretty ballistic with the suppliers, Dr Edward Group who runs Global Healing Center has relented and when our current stocks have been sold, we will be going back to plastic bottles again. Yippee!

This is still going to cause confusion, partly because the US product will still be in glass bottles.  The second reason is because we will be going backwards and forwards from plastic to glass and then back to plastic again. This is bound to puzzle some customers – especially those who havent read this article!

Anyway, our main point is that whether you get it in plastic or glass bottles, if you are buying it from us, it’s the same product that it’s always been.
