Z-Trim reaches Australian market

13/02/06 FiberGel Technologies, a subsidiary of Circle Group Holdings, has announced that they have received an initial order for one metric ton of Z-Trim, zero calorie fat replacement ingredient from an Australian cookie and biscuit company. The order was placed through their international distributors, DKSH. "We have now received orders from four different countries through DKSH and continue to test in many more," said Rick Harris, VP of sales and marketing.

Z-Trim is a natural zero calorie fat-substitute made from the hulls of corn, oats, soy, rice, and barley that lowers 25% to 50% of calories from fats in most foods without negatively affecting taste or texture. Z-Trim generally can't be detected by consumers when formulated correctly in dairy, dressings, dips, sauces, baked goods, processed meats, snack foods, cookies, pies, cakes, icings, brownies, bars, ice cream, milk shakes and many other foods. It improves texture significantly; makes meats juicier, baked goods moister, dips creamier. Z-Trim lets you eat more of the foods you love without fear of weight gain and allows you to lose weight without giving up the foods you love. Z-Trim adopts the flavor and mouth feel of most recipes and reduces aftertaste in most foods. It has been proven in studies that a majority of consumers prefer Z-Trim foods over their full-fat counterparts. Z-Trim can substantially reduce harmful Trans and saturated fats and adds healthy insoluble and soluble dietary fiber which can be beneficial to heart patients and diabetics. Z-Trim can improve digestion without any negative side effects sometimes associated with other fat substitutes. Z-Trim has been featured on Fox News' "Your World w/ Neil Cavuto"; USA Today, Chicago Tribune, as well as local affiliates of NBC, FOX and CBS.
