VANCOUVER, BC and MESA, AZ, Oct. 17,
2013 /PRNewswire/ - Avidus Management Group Inc.
("Avidus" or the "Company") (TSX-V: AVD, OTC: ASNHF)
through its wholly owned subsidiary Asantae is pleased to announce
that IS2™, a proprietary new functional beverage is now shipping
from all company warehouse locations.
Company President, Doug
Ridley said, "Ninety days ago we promised a new Asantae and
this week we delivered on those promises with the launch of this
powerful functional beverage, a dynamic new website
(www.asantae.com), two new product videos, and a new business
presentation video. It's an exciting time at Asantae as we
roll out all these improvements and enhancements. We look
forward to an even greater future ahead as the benefits accrue to
the company."
According to MarketResearch.com, the functional
beverage market had total revenues that exceeded $25 bn in 2012 and annual compounded growth rates
of 6% per year for the trailing 5-years. The market is
projected to grow to over $38 bn by
2017.
Asantae's formulation team created IS2™ to
support the body's natural immune system and inflammatory
response. These natural systems function best when they
quickly and completely "Recognize, Respond, and Resolve" threats,
invasions, infections and injuries in the body. IS2™ is
specifically formulated to help these systems function
optimally. Among many other ingredients to be discussed in
more detailed news, IS2™ features Wellmune™, a powerful new
compound with significant research behind it
(www.wellmune.com).
"Not only does IS2™ have tremendous health
benefits, but it also will dramatically improve our overall gross
margins," said Dan Lundell,
CEO. He further pointed out, "With comparable margins, IS2™
is an ideal companion to our groundbreaking weight-loss product
RealW8™. It has 300% better margins than two of our legacy
products. Beyond the obvious benefits of higher gross
margins, enabling improved commissions drives recruiting growth and
momentum."
Leading distributor Erik
Cloud said, "As a full-time network marketing professional
who has built my entire career around functional beverages, this is
the most functional health beverage I've ever
seen. I can build a massive organization in a relatively
short time with a product that tastes this good, has benefits that
people feel, and is easy for distributors like me to share.
The availability of this product at Asantae unleashes a new and
powerful phase of recruiting, broadening the audience to other
professional networkers who have achieved huge success with
functional beverages; our timing could not be better."
