BeneVia® Adult Nutrition Drink Available to Orlando Consumers
Beverage hits Walgreens shelves in time for National Nutrition Month
Orlando, FL — March 3, 2010 — The start of March signals the beginning
of National Nutrition Month, and adult nutrition beverage BeneVia® (pronounced
“ben-uh-VEE-uh”) has arrived on shelves in Greater Orlando Walgreens locations.
The nutritional beverage was extensively researched over a span of more than ten
years by HealthSpan Solutions, a consumer-driven healthcare organization focused
on clinical nutrition solutions and healthy aging.
“We developed BeneVia® primarily for boomers who have special nutritional needs
and wants when it comes to addressing their nutrient intake. As we age, it’s more
important to take care of our bodies and engage in healthy eating habits and a balanced
diet,” president and CEO of HealthSpan Solutions John Troup said. “The timing is
perfect for National Nutrition Month and we hope that our mission of healthcare
education and nutritional solutions will continue through our partnership with Walgreens.”
It is the first advancement in adult nutrition in 20 years that is intended to deliver
dietary value and protein energy in a juice flavored drink, opposed to other milk
based beverages. The nutritional formulas found in BeneVia® are designed to
address four major health concerns that many seniors express: strength and energy,
heart health, memory and immune response.
The naturally flavored fruit juice drink retails for $8.99 for packs of four and
is available in four consumer preferred flavors: pineapple, peach mango, pomegranate
blueberry and cranberry lemon.
BeneVia® is designed to supply essential nutrients that promote healthy aging,
including vitamins, Omega 3 and 6-8 grams of protein. The unique protein blend,
called ViaLeuPro™, is four times more effective than other protein supplements
according to clinical studies*, and consists of protein, leucine, essential amino
acids and key vitamins and minerals. BeneVia® is fat free, has minimal carbohydrates
and approximately half the calories of other beverages in the adult nutrition category.
