AMHERST, N.Y., Oct. 30, 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, Enlyten, Inc., has reached an agreement with USA Drug (USAD) to carry the Enlyten PediaStrip.
USA Drug plans on initially rolling out distribution of the PediaStrip in its approximately 100 top stores in December 2007.
"USA Drug is our first regional drug store chain which will carry our PediaStrip product. In addition, by taking the product in December 2007, they can have the product on their shelves and ready to sell as the cold and flu season begins," stated Dan Kelly, President of HealthSport, Inc.
PediaStrips are specifically formulated for children to quickly replenish electrolytes and aid in fluid retention. PediaStrips are a safe and effective product that replaces lost electrolytes associated with symptoms of flu, diarrhea, vomiting or extreme climates. With a great taste that kids love and the ease of administration for parents, PediaStrips are an ideal product for restoring essential electrolytes that help speed rehydration. PediaStrips do not replace lost fluids, so regular consumption of water or other fluid is necessary.
