Health Sciences Group ships initial Shugr order to GNC
As part of its promotional efforts, the company plans to offer coupons for discounts on the purchase price of Shugr products available at participating GNC stores.
11/08/05 Health Sciences Group, Inc., a provider of innovative nutritional products and functional food ingredients derived from natural sources, has announced that it has shipped its initial order of Shugr to GNC. Cases of its Shugr products are expected to arrive at the GNC distribution center later this week and to be on the shelves of participating GNC retail stores by early next week.
Shugr is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener made from sugars that occur naturally in such good-tasting, healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, corn and dairy products. Erythritol is a naturally-occurring sugar commonly found in melon, grapes, mushrooms and soy. Tagatose comes from dairy products, but does not affect people who are lactose intolerant. Tagatose also provides an added health benefit -- prebiotic fiber that promotes intestinal health, much the way yogurt does. Maltodextrin is derived from corn sugar, which is non-GMO and gluten-free. A trace amount of sucralose is added to give Shugr its "high note." All of these ingredients carry a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) designation for food safety from the US Food & Drug Administration.
As part of its promotional efforts, the company plans to offer coupons for discounts on the purchase price of Shugr products available at participating GNC stores.
Health Sciences Group identifies, develops and commercializes innovative nutritional products derived from natural sources to provide consumers and medical professionals with preventative healthcare alternatives. The company markets its own line of proprietary products based on novel technologies with clinically-supported, GRAS-certified ingredients under its Swiss Research(TM) and Swiss Diet(TM) brand names.
