AMHERST, N.Y, Oct. 16, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- HealthSport, Inc. (OTCBB:HSPO), a fully integrated developer, manufacturer and marketer of branded nutritional supplements in a one-of-a-kind edible film strip delivery system, announced today its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cooley Nutraceuticals, Inc., has reached an agreement with USA Drug (USAD) to become an authorized distributor of Fix(tm) Hangover Strips (www.fixstrips.com).
USA Drug plans on initially rolling out distribution of the Fix(tm) Hangover Strip in stores across Northeastern Oklahoma in early November, 2007.
"USA Drug is a perfect partner as an initial retailer for the Fix(tm) Hangover Strips due to the regional nature of their locations. In addition, the response from potential distributors and retailers has been amazing, and I expect steady sales to occur as we begin delivering product during the end of October," stated Clay Cooley, President of Cooley Nutraceuticals, Inc.
Originally formulated as a drink product, Fix(tm) Hangover Strips now offer the millions of Americans who enjoy their alcoholic beverage consumption a significantly faster and more efficient method of combating the inevitable hangover symptoms that follow (i.e. fatigue, headache, nausea and weakness). Edible Fix Strips deliver a blend of active ingredients through the soft tissue of the inner cheek and gum, a process known as Buccal Absorption, and do it naturally without adding sugar and carbs. The formulation, developed by Cooley Nutraceuticals, Inc. contains a proprietary blend of medically acknowledged products such as B-Vitamins, Vitamin C, Caffeine, and electrolytes to aid in combating the mild withdrawals that your body suffers due to overindulgence of a depressant drug (alcohol).
