  BOSTON, MA, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
ProMera health has unveiled major findings from two leading research
centers at The University of Nebraska and The University of Manitoba,
demonstrating that CON-CRET, the world's first and only pure concentrated
creatine has better oral absorption, solubility and uptake into the
bloodstream and muscles than any other existing creatine forms. On June
16, Dr. Donald Miller, a leading researcher on creatine supplement
performance, will be presenting these remarkable findings at the World
Conference of the International Society of Sports Nutritionists (ISSN) in
New Orleans. This announcement is a major breakthrough in the sports
nutrition industry, which has traditionally been dominated by creatine
monohydrate products. Creatine monohydrate products, if dosed properly,
have shown to be effective in performance enhancement (increased strength
and muscle recovery), however creatines vary in performance largely based
on solubility and most have undesirable side effects, such as
gastrointestinal distress, bloating and dehydration, that this new form
avoids. Scientists attest if the creatine isn't soluble, it won't make it
into the bloodstream and therefore will not be as effective. In the past
20 years of credible scientific studies, this is the first to prove a
product actually has superior plasma up-take when compared to creatine
monohydrate.

    "In an industry that is not regulated by the FDA, some supplement
companies have been involved in shallow or 'creative' science in order to
back-up product claims," said Mark Faulkner, of Vireo Systems, Inc., a
company specializing in nutriceutical research and development.
"Typically when such claims and 'research' are subjected to real
scientific methods, rigorous data interpretation, and peer review, little
or no evidence of improvement or efficacy is found. Contrary to that
industry norm, this study reveals the legitimacy of this CON-CRET
molecule and its claims."

    The analysis and data compilation done by this Nebraska/Manitoba
scientific study showed convincing evidence of a significant improvement
in plasma uptake of a creatine product as compared to creatine monohydrate
(CM). Test results revealed peak creatine plasma concentrations and area
under the curve (AUC) values were significantly greater in subjects
during the CON-CRET treatment phase. These assessments, done using the
FDA method for determining relative bio-availability, for the CON-CRET
formulation was over 60% greater than that of creatine monohydrate.

    "We are thrilled with the results of this creatine study," said John
Lewis, co-founder of ProMera health. "It validates what we already knew
-- that CON-CRET is the safest, purest and most concentrated creatine on
the market. We can offer world-class professional and amateur athletes a
safe, legal, and highly effective alternative to steroids that provides
the same results in strength, endurance and muscle recovery that they are
looking for."

    ProMera health engaged The University of Nebraska and The University of
Manitoba to conduct a full double blind, placebo-controlled, balanced
cross-over plasma uptake study in order to expand the understanding of,
and scientifically document the comparative performance of CON-CRET vs.
creatine monohydrate (and other top selling creatines). Human volunteer
subjects were specifically dosed with different forms of creatine and
then tested and evaluated to measure absorption in the bloodstream. The
results were clear -- due to its high-aqueous solubility, CON-CRET is the
most readily absorbed creatine form available. This allows for
significantly lower doses compared to CM. Uniquely, CON-CRET is
administered through micro dosing (1/4 teaspoon per 100 lbs of body
weight... much like prescription medication dosing). This allows CON-CRET
to provide dramatic performance improvements (strength, endurance, and
recovery) without the negative side-effects of other creatines -- no
bloat, no stomach issues, and no water retention -- just lean, strong
muscle. Available in powder and capsule forms, each serving of CON-CRET is
equivalent to the potency of 5-10 grams of monohydrate, and can be used
every day without the need to load or cycle.

    About ProMera health

    ProMera health, LLC, was formed with one idea in mind: To develop and
deliver the finest products available in the sports nutrition and wellness
markets. ProMera health derives its name from the Latin word promereo,
which means "to deserve or merit." Our founders and our colleagues believe
that everyone deserves a healthy life; as such ProMera health strives to
develop products that positively impact the performance and wellness of
its customers.

    CON-CRET, the world's first and only pure concentrated creatine, is
processed according to CGMP (current good manufacturing processes) as if
it were regulated by the Food & Drug Administration. While such
guidelines are not currently required, CON-CRET is achieving these high
standards as a normal business practice. Learn more about how CON-CRET
