HOLYOKE, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. ("NXT") (OTCBB: NXTH) a developer and marketer
of proprietary, patent-pending healthy natural sweeteners, food and beverage
products, announced today its newest product line, SUSTA 50 packet boxes, based
on NXT`s all-natural healthy sweetening system, SUSTA. Consumers will be able to
purchase SUSTA boxes which contain fifty two-gram packets, as early as next
month on NXT`s website (www.nxtnutritionals.com). Upon the product launch, SUSTA
will be the only sweetening system in the retail marketplace that is
all-natural, low glycemic, contains prebiotics (soluble fiber) and probiotics,
essential vitamins and minerals, helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels,
aids digestion, and supports the immune system.
NXT is currently focused on launching SUSTA into the U.S. table top sweetener
market. SUSTA two-gram packets can be used in coffees, teas, other beverages,
cereals, and any other foods that require a sweetener. In the Company`s initial
marketing efforts, NXT will focus on taking market share from the natural
sweeteners segment that is less entrenched and has fewer formidable competitors.
SUSTA is targeted at individuals craving sweetness but for whom sugar is either
not a viable option, or is an undesirable option. At the top of this group are
diabetics, individuals on diets, and those proactively managing obesity. Not far
behind in terms of focus are consumers who shun artificial sweeteners. Health
conscious consumers are increasingly aware that "you are what you eat" which is
evidenced by the rapid rise in organic and all-natural food and beverage sectors
over the last ten years. SUSTA is also aimed at those who have active lifestyles
and are wellness advocates. These tend to be sports enthusiasts such as runners,
bikers, climbers, walkers and devoted exercisers. The SUSTA fifty packet boxes
are manufactured here in the United States by a Native American Indian owned and
operated company.
"The launch of SUSTA in our fifty packet boxes is a great day in the history of
our Company," said Mike McCarthy, President and CEO of NXT Nutritionals
Holdings, Inc. "Using SUSTA successfully as a key ingredient and sweetening
agent in our Healthy Dairy smoothies proved that there is a marketplace for
SUSTA. We believe that SUSTA as a standalone product will be the key profit
center for our Company going forward. We are incredibly excited to bring this
unique, revolutionary healthy sweetening system to market which offers the
consumer a truly healthy alternative to the sweetening products currently in the
marketplace. Our relationship with the manufacturer signifies the type of
quality and integrity we place on our SUSTA products, and we are our proud to
work with a US company represented by Native American Indians."
Brand awareness of SUSTA will be driven by an aggressive PR campaign which will
include a massive sampling program, advertising, trade incentives, price
promotions, couponing, and demonstrations. The Company will also partner with a
number of health organizations and will engage a number of high profile
celebrities to use and endorse SUSTA. NXT is focusing on niche markets primarily
driven by health concerns and a fitness focus. As the launch of SUSTA takes off
in retail channels, NXT will next expand into the bulk ingredient segment
targeting large consumer food and beverage product companies such as General
Mills Inc. (NYSE: GIS), The J.M. Smucker Company (NYSE: SJM), The Coca Cola Co.
(NYSE: KO) and Pepsico, Inc. (NYSE: PEP) to incorporate SUSTA into their
products to provide a healthy alternative to sugar, artificial sweeteners and
other natural sweeteners.
