VANCOUVER, BC and MESA, AZ, Oct. 17, 2013 /CNW/ - 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."
