NUTRI-HEALTH LAUNCHES REFER-A-FRIEND PROGRAM AND
OFFERS A FREE PRODUCT TO ITS CUSTOMERS
Nutri-Health, a nationally known natural supplements company based in Northern Arizona, is offering a free product of choice to its customers nationwide with their new Refer-a-Friend program.
Refer-a-Friend Empowers Health Enthusiasts
Cottonwood, AZ – Nutri-Health Supplements has offered premium probiotic, enzyme, and nutritional supplements to the public for more than 20 years. The company began with its highly successful launch of Flora Source® Multi-Probiotic®, still considered one of the most potent multi-strain probiotic supplements on the market today, and has since grown to include a diverse and specialized supplement line.
"Word of mouth and healthy connections are everything for both our long-standing and new customers," says Trish Mahon, President of Nutri-Health. "We were so inspired by our customers sharing information with their friends and families on about our popular supplements that we created Nutri-Health’s Refer-a-Friend program."
"Refer-a-Friend rewards both the customer and their friends," says Mahon, "by offering the referring customer a free bottle of any product of their choice, and the referred friend valuable health information and introductory Nutri-Health wellness discounts. We are all about healthy partnerships at Nutri-Health, and our new Refer-a-Friend program supports Nutri-Health’s ‘Empowered Choices Better Living’ mission by nurturing healthy relationships."
Consumers are Passionate about Nutri-Health Supplements
An estimated 40% of the US population takes dietary supplements, reports The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/National Center for Health Statistics in an Advance Data report, 2004. And, according to Nutrition Journal, 2009, 72% of physicians and 89% of nurses report that they also use dietary supplements.
What’s more, the same Nutrition Journal data revealed that 79% of physicians and 82% of nurses recommend dietary supplements to their patients. The dietary supplement field is rapidly gaining momentum in both the consumer and health care professional arenas. According to Jennifer McTurk, Nutri-Health Customer Care Director, Nutri-Health is seeing this growth by word of mouth and customer-to-customer referral.
"Al l of us at Nutri-Health are passionate about health," says Jennifer McTurk, Nutri-Health Customer Care Director. "It’s what we strive for day to day, and we see that our customers share this passion. We’ve found that when someone finds a supplement and natural health regimen that really works for them, they want to share it. So our Refer-a-Friend program makes that possible with added health benefits and a free bottle of product. Our customers, and their friends, are going to love this new program!"
Healthy Partnerships like Nutri-Health are Vital to the Nation’s Future
With rising health care costs a very real factor for so many, America’s healthy future will increasingly rely on self-education and healthy partnerships. More people are turning to natural, preventative health solutions such as whole food diets, dietary supplements, and healthy lifestyle choices to stay well.
"The silver lining in the recent economic downturn and in the adjustments we’ve all had to make is the renewed value that we all share for our quality of life and our health," says Mahon. "Our health is one area where we can take charge and positively impact the quality of our lives. Better yet, we can share it with our friends and family."

MULTI-PROBIOTIC FLORA SOURCE IS ENDORSED BY GASTROENEROLOGIST
AND AUTHOR, DR. JOSEPH BRASCO, M.D.
Nutri-Health Supplements, formulator and distributor of Flora Source® Multi-Probiotic®, announces a new partnership with Dr. Joseph Brasco, Gastroenterologist, Internist, and Digestive Health Author.
A Clinical Partnership
Cottonwood, AZ – Dr. Brasco is the author of “The Great Physician’s Rx for Irritable Bowel Syndrome” and “Restoring Your Digestive Health,” among other titles, and is currently on staff at The Center for Colon and Digestive Disease in Huntsville, Alabama. Dr. Brasco completed his residency and fellowship at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.
“As probiotic and dietary supplements specialists, we are thrilled to announce a partnership between Nutri-Health and Dr. Brasco,” says Trish Mahon, President of Nutri-Health, www.nutri-health.com. “Dr. Brasco is a renowned Gastroenterologist and clinical expert in digestive health. He is also an advocate for a sound diet, healthy eating, and the critical role of probiotics and in good digestion and overall wellness.”
A Multi-Vitamin for your Gut
“Physicians, and particularly those in digestive health fields, are recommending probiotics to their patients to aid digestion and support long-term intestinal health,” says Dr. Brasco. “As a clinically formulated, multi-strain probiotic supplement, Flora Source is my ideal choice to address a wide spectrum of digestive concerns. I call it a Multi-Vitamin for your Gut!”
Nutri-Health formulated Flora Source Multi-Probiotic 20 years ago with 16 probiotic strains and 32 billion cells per serving. The company reports over a million bottles sold since Flora Source’s launch.
“Flora Source’s 20 years of consumer success and its multi-strain formulation make it a natural and proactive approach to digestive heath,” says Dr. Brasco. “Longevity and consumer trust is key to a supplement’s efficacy, and Flora Source certainly has both.”
Flora Source is available online, direct to consumers from Nutri-Health Supplements at www.tryflorasource.com
Probiotics Offer Multiple Digestive and Immune Benefits
Flora Source supports immune health through the gut-immune connection and helps alleviate occasional:
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Gas & Bloating
- Digestive Irregularity
Flora Source includes both Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria probiotic strains plus two additional strains, totaling 16 strains in all.
“Lactobacillus strains primarily populate the small intestine,” reports Dr. Brasco, “while Bifidobacteria support the large intestine. It is vital that a full-spectrum probiotic supplement contain both strain types.”
Flora Source and Gastrointestinal Health
Many probiotic supplements today only feature a few probiotic strains. The human digestive tract, however, is populated with multiple types of essential microflora. This essential microflora balance can be reduced due to diet, certain medications, and other lifestyle factors. A probiotic supplement with a high number of probiotic strains helps replenish this delicate balance.
In addition to its proprietary 16 strain blend, Nutri-Health product developers report the recent addition of a special non-gas forming prebiotic fiber to the Flora Source formula for a “symbiotic” blend between probiotics and prebiotics.
“Prebiotics have long been known as “food” for beneficial intestinal microflora,” says Dr. Brasco. “Flora Source features short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS), a specific prebiotic fiber with a unique short-chain structure that will not produce bloating or gas.”

“This progressive symbiotic blend of probiotics and prebiotics will help launch a new chapter for Flora Source,” says Michael Lee, Product Developer for Nutri-Health Supplements. “Your probiotic should do more than simply replenish microflora; it should support your existing digestive microflora for maximum digestive benefit, as prebiotics do.”

Cottonwood, AZ – Nutri-Health Supplements, LLC, a leader in direct-to-consumer probiotic supplements, announces the launch of its new online health book category with The Myth About Stress by Michael Pound. Books will be sold through its web site at www.nutri-health.com.
Dr. Pound is a certified chiropractor and lives and practices in Antioch, CA. He also lectures around the country about stress.
Dr. Pound’s book confronts the conventional wisdom that all stress is bad and that stress can be eliminated from our lives. He presents evidence showing that there is “good” stress, as well as “bad” stress and that probiotic supplements can help support good stress.
Knowing how to attract and even cultivate good stress can actually improve your health, your career and your family life, says Pound.
“We were intrigued by Dr. Pound’s fresh viewpoint about stress,” says Lisa Peterson Love, Brand Communications Director for Nutri-Health Supplements. “The book is extremely well written and easy to read. And when we realized that he also acknowledged the importance of probiotics in supporting ‘positive stress,’ we knew this was the perfect book to initiate our online bookstore.”

ATRIUM ACQUIRES NUTRI-HEALTH SUPPLEMENTS,
AN INNOVATIVE AND FAST-GROWING U.S. ENTERPRISE
LOCATED IN ARIZONA
This latest acquisition will allow Atrium to expand its brand portfolio
with specialized probiotic niche products
Quebec City, Canada, January 5, 2009 - Atrium Innovations Inc. (TSX: ATB) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Nutri-Health Supplements, LLC (“NHS”), a fast-growing enterprise located in Cottonwood, Arizona, U.S. This acquisition is in line with Atrium's business development strategy since NHS markets, via multi-channel distribution, specialty niche products endorsed by health professionals.
NHS owns proprietary Multi-Probiotic® blends which include 16 powerful probiotic strains that are matrix encapsulated to survive stomach acid and deliver a high concentration of active cell cultures per capsule. During the last few years, NHS has experienced impressive growth and achieved approximately US$27 million in sales for 2008.
Probiotics is currently one of the fastest-growing specialized niches in the food supplement market and have become an important part of nutrition. Human body microbial populations have been altered by the use of substances that are designed to kill germs and disease. By introducing friendly microbes into natural gut flora, the resident micro flora will be strengthened.
The company’s brand umbrella includes the Nutri-Health® brand which represents about 90% of NHS’ total sales. This brand is sold through the direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel largely via a well established mail order program. Furthermore, NHS caters to the health food store and health care practitioner markets with a portfolio of high potential brands − Sedona Labs®, Meta Foods®, and Sedona Labs Pro®.
Atrium has acquired NHS for a first consideration of US$23.9 million fully paid in cash at the closing of the transaction. Two additional earn-out payments have been structured based on NHS’ 2009 and 2010 EBITDA growth.
“We are very pleased to acquire Nutri-Health Supplements, an innovative and successful enterprise that is distinguished by a true culture of performance. Nutri-Health has built a loyal and rapidly growing clientele over the years by developing and marketing high quality, health professional-endorsed, specialized products. Buying Nutri-Health marks our first acquisition into the DTC segment with a company aligned with our values and objectives. NHS allows us to acquire complementary expertise in this market segment in which we had a limited business presence until now. This opens the door to promising, synergistic development opportunities within Atrium,” said Mr. Pierre Fitzgibbon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Atrium.
Conference Call on the Acquisition
Atrium will hold a conference call and webcast to discuss the NHS acquisition on January 5, 2009 at 4:30 p.m Eastern Standard Time. Participants may access the call using the following numbers: 416-644-3420, 514-807-8791 or 800-733-7571.
