 Dedication
Dr. Harvey Ashmead is known world-wide for the stabilization of penicillin during WWII. He is also the master mind behind the minerals offered by Life Zone® and the chemistry behind infant formulas and protein fortified drinks. During the war, Dr. Ashmead, who at the time was the head pharmacist at Bushnell Hospital, couldn't help but observe that the allied wounded soldiers were malnourished and in many cases unable to eat due to war related injuries. With the soldiers as his inspiration, he went to work and created the first formula for protein fortified drinks to assist the soldiers' bodies in rebuilding themselves.
Many of the soldiers had severe gangerous wounds which were life threatening and often times unresponsive to the treatments of the day. In its earliest stages penicillin was unstable. Doctors couldn't be certain when they prescribed raw penicillin if the drug would cure or kill their patients. Dr. Ashmead was commissioned to work on the stabilization of topical penicillin, which he did and is credited for saving many lives. After the war, Mead Johnson sought Dr. Ashmead to head the research behind infant formulas. He developed the basic formula used today in all infant formulas and in adult protein drinks such as Ensure® and Boost®. He also worked as the head of research for Hoffman-LaRoche and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, all leading companies in the pharmaceutical industry.
Behind every humanitarian is a stronger humanitarian and this is true for Allez and Harvey. Dr. Allez Ashmead worked full-time supporting their family, allowing Harvey the freedom to further his research and start Albion Laboratories. Without Allez's support, the mineral supplements and skin care products offered today by Life Zone® would not exist. She is the inspiration and force behind Albion Laboratories, the patent holder for Life Zone® products. |

 Dr. Janeel Henderson
Janeel Ashmead Henderson, daughter of Dr. Harvey and Dr. Allez Ashmead, is the owner and formulator of Life Zone® products. While working in the fashion industry as a model and as a Hollywood makeup artist, Janeel observed many problems women were having with their complexion. After analyzing the ingredients found within popular skin care products, Janeel identified the key ingredients which were interfering with the body. She turned to her father and the two set out to develop skin care products that would work in harmony with the chemistry of the skin to naturally moisturize, protect, and rebuild skin cells through mineral fortification.
Life Zone® skin care products eliminate petroleum based products, mineral oil, bees wax, lanolin, wood alcohols, and other harmful ingredients which are prevalent in most skin care formulas on the market and yet are known to interfere with the natural function of the skin. Such ingredients can seal pores, dehydrate skin, and not allow the skin to respirate or cells to detox.
Life Zone® offers Kela® Kare skin care products which fortifiy the skin by providing natural minerals and topical nutrition. Kela® Kare skin care products naturally adjust to your skin needs, environment, humidity, and lifestyle to help aid your skin in balancing and normalizing itself. A patented nutritional formula provides a mineral profile needed by the skin to fight against virus and bacterial invasion, free radicals, and chemical and environmental pollution which all lead to premature aging. As Kela® Kare solved skin care problems, customers would ask Janeel for help with solving health problems. As a result, Janeel and her father went back to research and developed the nutritional formulas for Life Zone® mineral supplements.
These supplements all use Janeel's father's 70 worldwide patented processes including the patented technology to target and deliver specific mineral nutrition to individual body systems. Janeel holds a B.S. from Brigham Young University, M.S. from Clayton College of Natural Health, and is a licensed Master Aesthetician, licensed massage therapist, dark field microscopist, and a nutritionalist. In addition, she also holds 1 patent and 1 patent-pending for her work in nutrition. |
