MedPodium’s Neo-Energy™ is a dietary supplement capsule that provides a customized blend of natural caffeine, green tea leaf extract and Vitamin B3 (Niacin). Each of Neo-Energy’s small, easy-to-use capsules provide an amount of caffeine comparable to commonly-sold energy shots or a premium coffee, or multiple cans (about 20 ounces) of various energy drinks. A pocket-sized pack containing four Neo-Energy capsules will be sold for approximately the same retail price as a single liquid energy shot or beverage. In addition, Neo-Energy capsules have no sugar, no calories, and no aftertaste as commonly found in various drinks.*
MedPodium’s new Neo-Carb Bloc™ is a dietary supplement that features a custom formulation of maximum strength Phase 2™, a white kidney bean extract that has been clinically studied and shown to reduce the enzymatic digestion of dietary starches contained in many carbohydrate-rich foods such as pastas, rice, crackers, breads, pastries, potato chips, and donuts.* Sold in convenient, pocket-sized packages of two small, easy-use capsules, Neo-Carb Bloc™ is designed to selectively reduce the uptake of the types of carbohydrates found in many starchy foods, without blocking the absorption of “good” simple carbohydrates such as those derived from vegetables and whole grains.*
“Our new Neo-Energy small capsule-based formulation allows for convenient pocket-sized packaging and is competitively priced for today’s performance- and price-conscious convenience store and retail consumers, and Neo-Carb Bloc™ is a novel product entry into convenience stores where carbohydrate-rich snack foods are so commonly available,” stated Christopher J. Reinhard, Cardium’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We plan to further broaden our Nutra-Apps product portfolio with the addition of other product offerings, such as Neo-Chill and Neo Sleep and to expand distribution nationally. With market traction, we plan to broaden our Nutra-Apps brand platform for potential distribution into the food, drug and mass markets.”
Reinhard added, “MedPodium is designing and formulating a portfolio of premium, best-in-class, science-based products based on key ingredients that have been well characterized scientifically and shown to be capable of promoting a healthy lifestyle, such as enhancing energy, cognition, mood, sleep, weight management, and fitness for millennial consumers. We are highly selective and require that our products be substantiated with scientific data to support an understanding of the mechanism of action, have well-defined manufacturing standardizations, and allow for easy to use formulation and dosage.”*
