For generations, families have reached for products in the medicine aisle without reviewing the ingredients. They grabbed an over-the-counter medicine and never thought about what was inside; the only thing that mattered was that it provided relief for the ailment being addressed. Why would they? It’s simple to think that trusted medicine companies would create products that are safe, effective and healthy for everyone.

When the founders of Genexa looked around the medicine aisle, they found something that they really weren’t comfortable with: tons of artificial fillers that included common allergens, parabens and an assortment of synthetic ingredients they did not want in their kids’ bodies.

Meet the founders of the first clean medicine company, David Johnson and Max Spielberg. These two dads are on a mission to clean up the medicine aisle. Johnson and Spielberg realized they were unhappy with the ingredients in their kids’ medicines and worked with a team of medical professionals to transform the over-the-counter industry making products that are clean.

Genexa products have the same effective active ingredients as conventional OTC medicines — the ingredients that provide therapeutic or medicinal value and have gone through years of scientific testing to ensure safety. The difference is in the inactive ingredients.

Since Genexa only uses clean inactive ingredients, families get medicines without artificial additives and common allergens — medicines that won’t have any of the potentially adverse side effects that may come with the unnecessary synthetic ingredients in conventional medicines. Genexa is reinventing the way conventional pharmaceutical medicines are made, focusing on delivering the same exact OTC drugs without potentially harmful fillers contained within their inactive ingredients. Genexa is not attempting to subvert conventional pharmaceutical medicine; rather, they’re focused on delivering the same exact OTC drugs without potentially harmful fillers contained within their inactive ingredients.

Johnson and Spielberg believe medicines can be effective and clean; people deserve better, and that’s why they created Genexa — real medicine, made clean.

Genexa’s Medical Team Formulated a Line of Clean Medicines That Sets a New Standard in the OTC Industry

From the onset, Johnson and Spielberg sought experienced healthcare professional partners. Those partners now make up Genexa’s Medical Advisory Board, a team of leading experts who have been fundamental to advancing healthcare in their fields. With these healthcare professionals and the expertise from individuals like Brian Perkins, Genexa Chairman and former Worldwide Chairman of Consumer Pharmaceuticals & Nutritionals at Johnson & Johnson, Genexa has successfully launched clean OTC drugs across many categories, including Allergy, Pain & Fever, Cold & Cough and Digestion.

They spent years doing extensive research and development, creating advanced technology to remove unnecessary synthetics and potential toxins from their formulas. The medical team has formulated a line of clean medicines that set a new standard in the OTC industry.

Genexa is breathing a breath of fresh air into the OTC industry and ensuring every family has access to the clean medicine they deserve.

These OTC medicines are exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

Solutions That Are Non-GMO, Organic, Gluten-Free and Made for Everyone to Get Better

Genexa finally makes it possible to have effective active ingredients and clean formulas in one.

If you order directly from their site, you’ll find clean medicine cabinet bundles to choose from so that children and adults can easily get fully stocked up.

With active ingredients like acetaminophen and inactive ingredients like organic blueberry flavor and citrus extract, the Kids’ Pain & Fever medicine from Genexa is a no-brainer to have at home, along with the Kids’ Cough & Congestion and the Kids’ Immune Support. If you’re looking for clean medicine for your child’s symptoms, Genexa has clean products you should have in your medicine cabinet.
