AMHERST, N.Y., Aug. 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- HealthSport, Inc. (OTCBB:HSPO) announced today that more National Football League teams have placed orders for the Enlyten(tm) SportStrips(tm) (http://enlytenstrips.com) as Training Camps start to sizzle in the late summer heat. As word of mouth travels throughout the league, Enlyten's distributor, Medco Supply, reports that the Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins, and New York Giants have been added to the list of teams now purchasing Enlyten SportStrips. The Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos are already on the list of pro teams taking advantage of Enlyten's rapid electrolyte delivery process.
As the summer heat reaches record temperatures in many parts of the country, expedited deliveries are being made to Training Camps, including the Bills' camp in Buffalo, NY where temperatures are reaching record levels. "Practices in this heat take a lot out of me for sure," said Buffalo Bills Quarterback, JP Losman. "Recovering on a day to day basis is critical. There's no doubt that keeping my electrolyte levels up and staying hydrated makes a measurable difference in my ability to stay focused and energized -- especially during these long training camp days. I know that the Enlyten SportStrips have been a fantastic advantage for me this year, and for the first time in my career I've been able to overcome hydration issues. It makes every drop of my water intake count, so I'm staying light on my feet and feeling strong on the field. The strips are definitely doing the trick."
Miami Dolphins Defensive End and NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Jason Taylor, is one of the more visible proponents of the SportStrips. "Staying hydrated and keeping electrolytes replenished is important when preparing for my daily workouts, especially during training camp in the south Florida heat. During practice, a player can lose between five and ten pounds when it gets hot outside," said Taylor. "Enlyten SportStrips eliminate the need to ingest excessive amounts of fluids with high levels of carbs, sugar, and calories. SportStrips and water are all I need to stay hydrated and get electrolytes back into my body quickly."
Enlyten SportStrips replace the electrolytes lost during vigorous athletic activity through a proprietary edible film strip delivery technology. Demonstrated scientifically to be a faster and more efficient way to deliver nutritional supplements and drug actives than ingesting them into the gastro-intestinal tract, the electrolyte content of the flavored film strip is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the soft tissue of the inner cheek and gum -- a direct mode of electrolyte absorption unique to Enlyten SportStrips. On a cellular level, fluid is generally rejected by electrolyte deficient cells, so athletes tend to compensate by consuming excessive amounts of fluid which can result in conditions like cramping and vomiting. Enlyten provides an effective new method of maintaining proper electrolyte levels helping athletes to optimize hydration and their level of physical performance.
