PARAMUS, N.J., Sept. 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inergetics, Inc. (Pink Sheets:NRTI), a leader in targeted product development for the Clinical Nutrition and Sports Supplement Markets, today announced that it has completed the commercial formulation and prototype development of its Surgex™ bars and ready-to-drink product portfolio.
The Surgex™ bars, which will be an important, nutritionally efficacious, complement to its already successful Surgex powder drink mix, will come in three delicious flavors: Triple Chocolate Chip Brownie, Oatmeal Cinnamon Raisin and Vanilla Chocolate Chip. "As with the flagship Surgex™ powder, the bars will also be compliant with NCAA ByLaws and Certified by the Banned Substance Control Group (BSCG) to assure that the product is free of any and all banned substances," states Inergetics Chief Science Officer, Carl Germano, RD. "Each bar provides 18 grams of high quality protein, 250 calories and supported by a healthy blend of specialty nutrients important for the overall health and well-being of the athlete."
The company has also painstakingly developed its commercialized Surgex™ ready-to-drink line which will be manufactured by two of the largest specialty beverage manufacturers worldwide. Following the same proprietary formulation found in Surgex™ powder, the ready-to-drink product is certified by the BSCG and will come in 3 flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry/Banana and French Toast. Uniquely packaged in 11 oz. aseptic TetraPak screw cap cartons, they will be equivalent to 3 scoops of Surgex™ powder. They will be made available to all channels of trade.
Mark Mirken, CEO and Chairman of Inergetics stated, "With the completion of the development of a nutritional and delicious bar and a refreshing and nutritional ready-to-drink product we are now capable of entering into meaningful commercial discussions for the purchase of our entire product line with potential customers. Since our competitors, who had inferior products, could offer a complete product line, discussions with numerous commercial accounts were not feasible prior to the completion of our product portfolio. Now with the completion of our Surgex™ bars and ready-to-drink commercialization, we are competitive in every platform; powder, bar and ready-to-drink."
