Remington Health Products launches Qwell™

26/01/2005 Remington Health Products, LLC announced today the introduction and launch of Qwell(TM), a first-of-its-kind liquid product made up of ingredients proven to reduce "bad" cholesterol, boost "good" cholesterol and lower triglyceride counts to help prevent heart disease. Qwell is now available for direct purchase.

Beyond containing ingredients clinically proven to lower "bad cholesterol" levels and raise "good cholesterol" levels, Qwell has none of the potentially serious side effects of statin drugs and is available without a prescription.

The media and a number of recent clinical study results and journal articles have touted the separate cholesterol-lowering benefits of policosanol, phytosterols and soluble fiber. Qwell contains all three as its active ingredients and takes the effectiveness a step further by delivering them as a citrus-flavored liquid to be consumed in a one-ounce-per-day dose. Qwell`s liquid formula enables quicker and more complete absorption by the body.

The FDA has formally recognized the cardiovascular benefits of soluble fiber and phytosterols. Accordingly, the FDA allows foods and supplements that contain sufficient amounts of these "smart food" ingredients to be labeled as heart-healthy. Policosanol has been the subject of rigorous scientific testing that has repeatedly confirmed its power to dramatically lower LDL and raise HDL levels.

Bioavailability measures the rate at which an agent reaches its targets within the body. Many pills and tablets have lower bioavailability than liquids because they may fail to fully dissolve. In addition, solid supplements often need to be specially coated to protect the stomach. That coating makes solids more difficult to dissolve and can actually reduce bioavailability in some individuals. Unlike the quick and even dispersion of a gentle liquid like Qwell, some tablets and pills may deliver high localized concentrations of active ingredients that can overwhelm the absorption capacity of the intestine.

Founded in 1996, Remington Health Products, LLC is a unique Fort Worth, Texas-based company dedicated to the employment of sound science to develop products for healthier living which meet or exceed the highest production standards. Remington has emerged as a leader in the development of innovative products for the nutritional supplement industry. The company`s popular Drinkables(R) and Liquid Naturals(R) lines were among the first liquid supplements to be made available to consumers outside of health food stores and have now sold in excess of 5 million bottles. Drinkables remain nationally distributed to leading grocery stores, drug stores and mass merchandisers, while Liquid Naturals are available exclusively at Sam`s Wholesale Club stores. The company launched Qwell(TM) in early 2005.
