We have recently been on a barrage of trade shows, starting with the CanFitPro Trade show and moving into some smaller health and wellness shows and events with some of our retailers and professionals. We have been sponsors to several small events like the Fidia 5k Fun Run and as a supporter to a several Anti-Aging Shows.

Most recently we appeared for the first time at the CHFA - Canadian Health Food Association, Expo East in Toronto ON. This was a big step for Empowered Nutrition as we announce the release of our Empowered Nutrition Products and Bluestar Nutraceuticals (first debuted at CanFitPro). CHFA is a governing body for our industry and lobbies for regulations and political positions with the Canadian Government one of the natural health industry world leaders.

This is also an industry first as we are the first company to officially announce, supply and support Personalized Nutrition Programs to the Nutrition Retailers in North America. This now puts the professionals in gyms and nutrition stores in charge of complete health and wellness, and out of the hands of “weight loss boutiques”.

The announcement of our supplements and personalized nutrition programs for nutrition retailers, fitness companies and professionals is a monumental step in empowering millions to make a difference and change their lives.

Can Fit Pro has come and gone and a lot can be said.

To all of you on our team and those of you working to help empowered nutrition catapult into the lime light a very big and empowered THANK YOU!.

Some of our newly appointed account managers had a great time meeting and greeting and trading business cards like they were 5 year olds at a card swap.

We had the honor of announcing our official representation of BLUESTAR NUTRACEUTICALS a line of high performance nutrition products. If you did not see our new booth and products or get a product catalog I am sure one of our account managers will contact you shortly if you traded cards, if not feel free to contact us directly here by email or toll free 1.866.251.7676

A big Thank you to Can Fit Pro for putting on an excellent show as always.

Come back and check out our photos from the show (to be posted later this week) and email us for a digital or printed copy of our product catalog.

Here is a quick glimpse of the BLUE STAR NUTRACEUTICALS products that we are ready to ship with more than empowered margins and profits to your store.

OK so we are getting busy with everything going on, from interest from some of the biggest professionals in the fitness, supplement and nutrition industry (more on that after the show) and we are seeing hard work from every company and professional we work with and want to say thank you as this is an early start to the September rush.

Speaking of RUSH, visit us at Can Fit Pro August 15 & 16 (this weekend) and see what all the fuss is about, get an impromptu session and presentation with one of our Senior Account Managers and sample the new line of products from Empowered Nutrition. We will be showcasing and sampling BLUESTAR NUTRACEUTICALS - Extreme RUSH at our booth this weekend. Come on by and get a RUSH.

This weekend kicks off the launch of a major shift in our new account service and marketing programs and will be mirrored by the new products and profit center solutions we will be releasing at Can Fit Pro. We will then add the Empowered Nutrition Products to the CDN market place September 13 & 14 at CHFA West in the same Metro Toronto Convention Center and a strong push will take place in NY at the Summit Tradeshow October 11th.

Stay strong. + energized + transformed + empowered +

Functional and organic foods show double-digit growth in U.S.

The US health and wellness sector surged 15 per cent in 2007 and broached the US$100 billion mark for the first time, according to the Natural Marketing Institute (NMI). And double-digit growth will continue with projected sales of $170 billion by 2012.

The Pennsylvania-based market analyst said its statistics related to health and wellness packaged good sales across both retail and direct-to-consumer channels and were part of its 2007 US survey conducted among more than 6,000 households.

Nanoemulsions show potential for fighting cancer

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts are exploring the potential of using “nanoemulsions” containing bioactive compounds to reduce the growth and spread of cancer cells. The bioactive compounds looked at include antioxidants like lycopene; curcumin (curcumin is the principal curcuminoid found in turmeric); vitamin E; omega-3 fatty acids; and plant sterols.

Preliminary results show promise. Animals injected with neuroblastoma to promote the growth of cancer cells and then exposed to antioxidant nanoemulsions experienced a shrinkage in tumours by 65 per cent. A nanoemulsion of curcumin was found to inhibit the spread of melanoma cancer cells by about 89 per cent.

The majority of the results presented had yet to be published in peer-review journals.
