PARAMUS, N.J., April 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inergetics, Inc. (OTCBB:MBTG), a leader in targeted product development for the Clinical Nutrition and Sports Supplement Markets, today announced that the Company has agreed in principle with Windmill Health Products to a three year exclusive distributor relationship to sell and market its Surgex™ sports supplement across multiple classes of trade worldwide.
Surgex™ is a clinically validated nutritional supplement formulated to improve athletic performance through optimized recovery. Surgex contains an enhanced proprietary blend of nutrients scientifically designed to increase peak power, improve endurance, accelerate recovery, and build lean muscle mass by significantly decreasing oxidative stress, inflammatory markers and cortisol. It has been used in the NBA and other professional sports, is NCAA compliant, and has passed the rigorous testing criteria established by the Banned Substance Control Group (BSCG), having been found to contain no banned substances.
Mark Mirken, CEO of Inergetics, Inc., commented, "There is no other sports nutritional product on the market today that contains Surgex's patent-protected nutritional composition combined with the product's published trials. With this distribution agreement in place, along with other developing opportunities, we project that our sports product line will penetrate 1% to 2% of the worldwide nutritional supplement markets by 2012."
Windmill Health Products LLC is a leading marketer and distributor of Lifestyle nutritional products worldwide. Windmill distributes and markets products to all major classes of trade, which includes Food, Drug, Mass Market and Health Food retailers and distributors.
Rich Lauritano, VP of Special Markets for Windmill Health Products, stated, "We have a timely and unique opportunity with Surgex and look forward to introducing this clinically validated brand here in the US and to the international markets.
"Inergetics' current Surgex™ line allows athletes at all levels to train harder and therefore compete better; and their proprietary science will set them apart from all other products in their category. As they expand their brand with other products which are now in development and through Windmill Health Products LLC, the value of the Company's sales and brand will grow exponentially."
Garden State Nutritionals (GSN), a division of Vitaquest International, a global leader in the manufacturing of lifestyle specific nutritional supplements, will be the manufacturer of Surgex's nutritional formulas in its powdered form.
Keith Frankel, President & CEO of Vitaquest International, commented, "We have partnered with Inergetics as it has expended time, effort and significant resources in the development of Surgex. Surgex™ is a unique, proprietary, patented and independently credentialed formula with statistically significant results as published in the 'Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research' and the 'Journal of Applied Exercise Physiology,' Surgex will completely 'change the playing field' for sports nutritional supplements in both its powdered and ready to drink format."
Mr. Mirken added, "This marks the critical first step in our strategic distribution plan which outlines the initial sale of Surgex throughout thousands of retail outlets, including convenience stores and large box store chains, first in powdered form, followed by a ready-to-drink version. Windmill has demonstrated the ability to sell products across diverse classes of trade both domestically and internationally and this agreement will tremendously increase and accelerate Surgex's market penetration."
