MIAMI, March 4, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Nutraplete, the flagship product of BioSource Therapeutics (BST), is to be featured in the March 2008 edition of the Action Link Journal. The Action Link Journal is a publication of The AIDS Institute.
BST is the manufacturer of Nutraplete(tm) Therapeutic Drink Mix, the first high protein dietary supplement designed specifically to address micronutrient deficiencies and pro-oxidative stress simultaneously.
The Action Link Journal article is written by Jeannie Gibbs, frequent contributor to The Action Link Journal as well as other HIV related publications. Ms. Gibbs is also the National HIV/AIDS Liaison for BioSource Therapeutics. The article elaborates on the need for nutritional supplementation for people living with HIV/AIDS. It highlights Nutraplete as a supplement which will soon be available through Medicaid and which can help maintain muscle mass, ease HIV antiviral drug side effects and improve stamina and energy.
BST's direct to consumer campaign includes the publication of articles about Nutraplete within many HIV specific publications published by various organizations, institutions and individuals. Publications that are popular among the HIV patient and medical communities include Poz Magazine, Positively Aware, A&U, HIV Plus and European AIDS Treatment News.
"The Action Link Journal article and other forthcoming publications in substantial HIV magazines and journals will help to establish the significance of nutritional supplementation for people living with HIV and AIDS. This article represents the first in a series of articles which will highlight the importance of daily nutritional supplementation including the utilization of Nutraplete, which was designed specifically to meet the many, seldom addressed, nutritional needs of people with HIV/AIDS," stated Gibbs.
According to Dr. Gene Copello Ph.D., Executive Director of the AIDS Institute, "Nutrition is critical to health. For people living with chronic disease, such as HIV/AIDS, good nutrition is an important complement to good medicine. All too often we have neglected the importance of nutrition, both as a matter of public health policy and at the healthcare practice level. Supplemental foods like Nutraplete help to fill in the gaps to ensure a proper nutritional intake."
