Nutrition21’s Nitric Oxide Boosting Ingredient Nitrosigine® is Now Powering Up Alani Nu’s Pre-workout: Pump

Leave a comment


Alani Nu Pump provides you with that extra boost you are looking for without the caffeine

“At Alani Nu, our goal is to provide high-quality products that help our customers feel and perform at their best.” said Katy Hearn, Founder of Alani Nu.


PURCHASE, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Nutrition21, LLC (“Nutrition21”), has announced that its clinically substantiated ingredient Nitrosigine®, is now featured in Alani Nu’s new release, Pump – Stim Free. As a complement to their extremely successful pre-workout product, Pump – Stim Free promises the same exceptional quality and taste that Alani Nu’s following counts on, but without stimulants. Pump – Stim Free is an innovative pre-workout supplement packed with premium ingredients and formulated to deliver increased pumps, boost, and mental focus.

Nitrosigine is a patented complex of bonded arginine silicate stabilized with inositol that is scientifically engineered to significantly boost nitric oxide levels, a key factor in increasing blood flow.^ Studies have shown that Nitrosigine clinically enhances levels of both arginine and nitric oxide and is a more bioavailable form of arginine. Additionally, a recent study demonstrated that at least some of Nitrosigine’s superiority over other nitric oxide boosters is due to the ingredient’s ability to inhibit the arginine-deflating enzyme, arginase.

“At Alani Nu, our goal is to provide high-quality products that help our customers feel and perform at their best.” said Katy Hearn, Founder of Alani Nu. “Pump – Stim Free is more than just another pre-workout, it is what our customers have asked us for, a high-quality product that provides them with the boost needed to get the most out of their active lifestyle and power through the moments that matter most.”

“We are excited to announce that Nitrosigine will be featured in Alani Nu: Pump – Stim Free,” said Nutrition21 Vice President of Sales, Todd Spear. “In developing this new pre-workout, the Alani Nu Team placed their focus on using a combination of efficacious ingredients to deliver crucial benefits without using stimulants. We are excited that Nitrosigine not only met their stringent specifications, but also that it was included for its powerful nitric oxide boosting properties. Consumers looking to improve their pre-workout routine should look for Pump- Stim Free, as well as the Nitrosigine trademark or logo on the products they are using to help support their overall fitness goals.”

Consumer benefits shown to be directly linked to Nitrosigine supplementation include:

  • Boosts key factors for increasing blood flow^

  • Increases muscle volume^

  • Reduces markers of muscle damage from exercise^

  • Increases perceived energy quickly and safely without negatively impacting heart rate or blood pressure

  • Improves cognitive flexibility within 15 minutes

  • Increases arginine bioavailability through arginase inhibition

  • Significantly enhances blood arginine levels for up to 6 hours^

  • In a double-blind, placebo controlled study, significantly improved mental acuity and focus by 33%

  • Prevents the decline in cognitive performance following strenuous exercise

^Results compared to baseline

Reinforcing its commitment to elevate the human experience in healthcare, The Beryl Institute releases a new white paper, Elevating Experience for those Living with Dementia.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB)

Reinforcing its commitment to elevate the human experience in healthcare, The Beryl Institute releases a new white paper, Elevating Experience for those Living with Dementia. The paper explains the statistical significance of dementia, heightens awareness of the lived experience following a diagnosis, shares the potential impact of person-directed dementia care and provides opportunities for action to elevate the experience of those learning to live well with the condition.

Voices and perspectives contributing to this work include experts in the field, practitioners who provide care each day, people living with dementia and care partners who support those on the dementia journey. Through their reflections, the paper explores societal misperceptions and stigmas that point to an urgent need for a shift in the paradigm that will elevate the human experience for those living with dementia.

Opportunities for action in addressing experience for those living with dementia are focused on three key recommendations:

  • Place human rights and personhood at the forefront of care for those living with dementia

  • Support societal changes aimed at improving the experience for people living with dementia

  • Apply a person-directed approach to caregiving and support systems

The paper was guided by a team of thought leaders in aging services including Penny Cook, President and CEO of The Pioneer Network, Tammy Marshall, Chief Experience Officer, Thrive Senior Living, Dr. Allen Power, Schlegel Chair in Aging and Dementia Innovation at the Schlegel-University of Waterloo Research Institute for Aging and Jill Vitale-Aussem, President and CEO of The Eden Alternative.

“The foundation for all we do at The Beryl Institute is grounded in collaboration and connection with experts and champions in all reaches of the healthcare landscape,” said Jason A. Wolf, PhD, CPXP, President, The Beryl Institute. “In bringing together these leading voices and visionaries working to address dementia, long-term care and healthcare overall, we have all learned more, gained new insights and established critical connections that ensure a conversation on the human experience extends across healthcare for all it serves.”

About The Beryl Institute:

The Beryl Institute is the global community of practice committed to elevating the human experience in healthcare. We believe human experience is grounded in experiences of patients & families, those who work in healthcare and the communities they serve.

We define the patient experience as the sum of all interactions, shaped by an organization’s culture, that influence patient perceptions across the continuum of care.

ProMiles Restructures as Automated Fuel Tax Reporting Business Continues Growth

Leave a comment



BRIDGE CITY, Texas (PRWEB)

According to Mr. Stroncheck, “With over 200 companies offering over 500 FMCSA approved devices, adding new GPS partners is almost a weekly event.” ProMiles is currently renovating additional office space near their home office in Bridge City which will be used almost exclusively for personnel dedicated to supporting AFTR services.

Ten year ProMiles veteran Gary Markham will become Vice-President of Regulatory Compliance. Before he joined ProMiles, Mr. Markham spent almost 19 years with Comdata serving in positions such as Director of Technical Service and as the Director of the Regulatory Compliance Services division. Mr. Markham has been instrumental to ProMiles’ efforts to serve our many commercial clients, motor carriers, and service providers. Additionally, Mr. Markham has been the lead in all government relations efforts. Most notably, Mr. Markham spearheaded ProMiles’ efforts to forge a partnership with Explore Information Services resulting in the creation of a comprehensive and fully integrated audit workbench currently being used by jurisdictions that are members of the International Fuel Tax Processing Consortium. Additionally, Mr. Markham is a member of both the IFTA and IRP Industry Advisory Committees. Mr. Markham will now be responsible for two units within the Regulatory Compliance Division; Jurisdictional Relations and Permit Services Relations. This reorganization and expansion of Mr. Markham’s duties is part of Mr. Stroncheck’s continued commitment and vision to be the industry leader in providing state of the art, innovative, and scalable products, services, and solutions to serve our commercial and governmental clients while continuing to foster an environment where compliance with all jurisdictional laws, regulations and program objectives are met.    

Former Connecticut government manager Rick LaRose is being promoted to Jurisdictions Project Lead. While Mr. LaRose is still fairly new to ProMiles, he is a nationally recognized expert in the area of tax administration for the International Fuel Tax Agreement with a focus on audit and compliance programs for both IFTA and IRP. Mr. LaRose was employed for 35 years by the State of Connecticut Departments of Motor Vehicles and Revenue Services where he conducted internal auditing, criminal investigations, led Connecticut’s implementation of IFTA, and managed the state’s IFTA auditing program. Mr. LaRose was Connecticut’s Assistant IFTA Commissioner, the National Chairman of the IFTA Audit and Dispute Resolution Committees and was a member of the IFTA, Inc. Board of Trustees. Under this reorganization, Mr. LaRose will be responsible for all government relations duties involving IFTA, IRP, and single jurisdiction weight distance taxation.

ProMiles has also added Gary Land, former General Manager of Fleet Compliance for DAT Transcore, to the team. Mr. Land brings over 22 years of compliance experience to ProMiles. As Director of Permit Service Relations, Mr. Land will be primarily responsible for working closely with over 150 permit service partners; helping them to better serve their customers as well as grow their business opportunities and improve profitability. As part of this reorganization, Mr. Land will work closely with Mr. Markham and Mr. LaRose to provide guidance and advice (where applicable) to service providers whose clients are currently subject to audit under IFTA, IRP, or a jurisdictional weight distance tax program.

Mr. Stroncheck added, “While ProMiles started automating fuel tax reporting back in the late 1990’s, the Electronic logging devices (ELD) mandate has greatly contributed to the adaptation of automation services. Not that ELD’s are inherently capable of producing IFTA reports by any means, but the availability of the raw GPS data has exploded on the market. Knowing what to do with that data and how it needs to be handled is crucial in providing accurate, and compliant reports to our end users.”

For many years ProMiles Software has provided solutions for routing, mapping and fuel tax reporting to the North American Trucking Industry. Auditors in 53 of 58 IFTA jurisdictions use ProMiles when validating distance, HOS (Hours of Service), driving time and more.

Leave a comment


News Image

I recognize that each individual is important, and that, as an organization, we must work together to effectively balance helping people solve their daily problems with working to eliminate or prevent those problems through systemic legal and policy advocacy.


COLUMBUS, Ohio (PRWEB)

Disability Rights Ohio (DRO) has named Kerstin Sjoberg its new Executive Director. Sjoberg replaces Michael Kirkman who is retiring after almost 40 years of advocacy for people with disabilities. Sjoberg will assume the Executive Director role March 1, 2020. She has served as DRO’s Director of Advocacy and Assistant Executive Director for the past seven years.

“My lifelong commitment to justice and civil rights, and my love for the organization makes this a position I am humbled and honored to accept,” Sjoberg said. “As second in command, I have led the strategic vision for DRO’s advocacy work. I recognize that each individual is important, and that, as an organization, we must work together to effectively balance helping people solve their daily problems with working to eliminate or prevent those problems through systemic legal and policy advocacy. I’ve witnessed the DRO team work tirelessly each and every day to meet these objectives. I welcome the opportunity to stand with them as we continue this critical work.”

As DRO’s Assistant Executive Director, Sjoberg has been actively engaged in the agency’s administration and management, including financial planning, oversight and resource development. As its Director of Advocacy, she has expanded DRO’s work in this realm by utilizing both class action lawsuits and public policy campaigns.

“Our search committee worked hard to find the very best candidate to step into this role,” explained Jennilee Mohler, DRO Board of Directors’ President. “I am 100 percent confident that Kerstin Sjoberg is that person. She is recognized and respected both in Ohio and nationally as a leader in disability rights advocacy. And, she works collaboratively to get things done. She is the right person to lead DRO into the future.”

Sjoberg has also served as an Adjunct Professor at the Moritz College of Law, The Ohio State University, and previously was an associate at Jones Day in Columbus. During her tenure at DRO she has successfully partnered with the Department of Justice on two major cases and is the lead attorney in the community integration class action lawsuit, Ball vs. DeWine. The preliminary settlement in that case will better inform Ohioans with development disabilities about their options for living and working in the community.

“There is no one better prepared to lead this agency than Kerstin,” added Kirkman. “She is a respected leader within DRO and has an established rapport with the staff. She has the knowledge, skills and connections that are essential for this position and is ready to lead on Day One. I know DRO will continue to fulfill its mission, advocating for the human, civil, and legal rights of Ohioans with disabilities, at the highest level.”

About DRO

Disability Rights Ohio is designated under federal law as the Protection and Advocacy System and Client Assistance Program for the state of Ohio. The mission of Disability Rights Ohio is to advocate for the human, civil and legal rights of people with disabilities in Ohio. Disability Rights Ohio provides legal advocacy and rights protection to a wide range of people with disabilities.

Curatronic Ltd. is sponsoring the Pain Solution Summit on January 23 – 26, 2020

Leave a comment



JERUSALEM (PRWEB)

The Pain Solution Summit is geared towards proven solutions to eliminate pain, remove limitations, improve mobility and to get off dangerous meds.

More than 25 chronic pain experts will teach about different ways to obtain Pain Relief. While pain affects millions of Americans every year – 1 in 4 at any given time, options for safe and effective pain management are lacking in general. This leaves those suffering from acute, chronic, and recurrent pain to rely mostly on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), with increased risk of potentially fatal gastric lesions, or narcotics, which pose the risk of drug dependency.

Dr. Pawluk is a known expert on Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field therapy (PEMF). He is a medical advisor for a company distributing the Parmeds & Curatron PEMF systems in the USA.

Magnetic fields that are dynamic or pulsed, created by specifically designed electronic equipment, are called pulsed or frequency electromagnetic fields, or PEMF’s for short. PEMF has been used around the world for pain management and treatment of many other health conditions for decades, and has become more and more important also in the USA in the last couple of years.

The http://www.parmeds.com website features information about the many conditions that can be treated with the Parmeds / Curatron electromagnetic therapy systems, including pain, arthritis, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia. Each section provides background information about the specific ailment and how PEMF treatment is beneficial. Applications include pain relief, treatment of various diseases and injuries, and wellness.

Detailed explanations regarding the technology behind pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and more are clearly relayed in layman’s terms, to make PEMF technology understandable and enable each person and therapist to choose what is important for them. In this section one also finds information about the safety of devices and the differences between pulsed electromagnetic fields and static magnetic fields.

Curatronic Ltd. is manufacturer of the Parmeds PEMF systems and the company offers multiple models and different PEMF technologies, including the Curatron FLASH system for very high intensity impulse therapy.

Each Parmeds PEMF unit, including the home system, offers 10 full automatic programs for therapy and wellness. The Parmeds Super is especially designed for use by therapists and clinics, and is accompanied by a powerful software package for a PC or laptop. The Parmeds Ultra-Power 3-D model offers the highest PEMF power and is intended for high efficacy in clinical settings.

Detailed information is given for all options and applicators offered, including high intensity coils for local treatment like a knee; a travel mat; and other special purpose applicators. It is also possible to contact the company with any questions through the contact form on the website.

The Parmeds website has a secure ordering system making it very easy for customers to order their system online.

Ben Philipson, CEO of Curatronic Ltd. said “We are very pleased with the cooperation with Dr. Pawluk. As PEMF expert he advises many pain sufferers who are looking for reliable devices with a proven track record, about the advantages of the Parmeds high intensity PEMF systems.”

Further information can be found on the company’s websites http://www.parmeds.com http://www.curatronic.com and http://www.pemfflash.com.

Curatronic Ltd. is a leading innovator in Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. Founded in 2000, the company has established itself as a supplier of high quality and very reliable devices. Curatronic is the undisputed leader in the field of PEMF therapy in more than 90 countries around the world.

Spotify Reveals Top Work-Out Trends and 2020 Predictions to Help Kick-Start Resolutions

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

The New Year is here and updating workout and self-care routines is likely top of mind. With more than 54 million workout-focused playlists on Spotify, Trends Expert Shanon Cook recently teamed with YourUpdateTV to take a closer look at trends and to share their 2020 fitness and wellness predictions based on current global listening.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/YEJZ1UfqyWQ

Some key highlights from the data:


  • The Most Popular Workout and Wellness type: Listeners have created more running playlists than any other workout type. (Shoutout to Denmark where we see running playlists created at the highest rate!) Yoga follows in popularity, and Sweden might be the world’s most zen nation based on the high number of meditation and yoga playlists Spotify listeners have created. In fact, Swedish listeners create these playlists at a 521% rate higher than listeners in other countries.

  • 2020 Predictions: Focusing on self-care will continue to reign supreme in 2020. Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next”, Lizzo’s “Good as Hell” and Hailee Steinfeld’s “Love Myself” are popular female empowerment anthems on people’s “self-care” playlists. And we saw a 113% increase in streams of meditation playlists in the past year, higher than for any other workout and wellness type. We also saw an increase in streams of pilates (71%) and weight-training playlists (66%),and predict these will all continue to grow in popularity in 2020.

  • Working on Our ZZZzzz’s: Listening to Health & Fitness podcasts increased 145% in the past year. And listeners are falling in love with sleep podcasts. The most popular podcast in the health & fitness category at the moment is Sleepy, where host Otis Gray reads classic stories to help listeners doze off. Sweet dreams!

  • So what songs do listeners sweat to? Eminem’s “’Till I Collapse” is the most-streamed track in workout playlists at the moment. Ed Sheeran’s “I Don’t Care” with Justin Bieber is the second most-streamed workout song, followed by “Dance Monkey” by Tones and I, “If I Can’t Have You” by Shawn Mendes and “Beautiful People” by Ed Sheeran and Khalid.

Get inspired by the Wellness hub or get your heart racing with Spotify’s most-followed workout playlist, Beast Mode.
