trio will be featured as part of a BeneVia®-sponsored Life Stages and Therapeutic
Nutrition product theater show from 11:50 a.m.-1:00 p.m. on Friday, May 14, in the

During the program the distinguished trio will address how Baby Boomers, in particular,
require important nutrients and how they can effectively manage age associated health
conditions. Continuing education credits will be provided for registered dietitians

Clinical research has shown that the proprietary BeneVia® blend of protein and
nutrients also improves muscle function and energy levels for daily activity. Given
that over 60% of boomers suffer from chronic diseases and loss of muscle function
and energy, BeneVia® provides important nutritional management support for consumers.
In its research, HealthSpan has identified the most important nutrients needed
to address and confirmed these nutrients effectively manage age specific health
issues facing Boomers. This breakthrough research was led by HealthSpan’s world-renowned
scientists in geriatrics research from the HealthSpan Institute in Little Rock and
Tufts University Research Center on Nutrition and Aging in Boston.
Nutrition authorities will explore benefits to Boomers from nutritional beverages
