NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: NXTH) Squarely in the Sweet Spot of Growth

StockGuru — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:16:07 +0000

NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc., (OTCBB: NXTH) SUSTA™ is keyed in on the newest -hottest - Natural Buzzword of the Future: PROBIOTICS.

NXT Nutrtionals is agressively pursuing the Food & Beverage Additive Industry and PROBIOTICS is a big part of the growth in that industry today.

NXTH is found across the county in retail stores as they establish themselves as a stand along product and have their own line of products.

The sweetener industry represents a $10B a year industry in the United States but NXTH is not content with just the sweetener industry. Well within their grasp is the $8.6B Food & Beverage Additive Industry. Based on all industry outlook NXT Nutritionals finds itself squarely in the sweet spot of growth for BOTH these industries.

NXT Nutritionals will market SUSTA™ in three primary categories:

SUSTA ™ as a table top sweetener alternative to sugar and other sweeteners
SUSTA ™ as an ingredient used in beverages, cereals, baked goods, dairy products, candy and chewing gum
NXT/SUSTA ™ branded products including Healthy Dairy® and other SUSTA™ branded products to be launched by the Company

SUSTA™ is 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.

NXTH’s future includes playing a key role in the Food & Beverage Additives Industry.

SUSTA™ fits neatly into the Sweetener Industry but it has a key role to play in the Food & Beverage Additives Industry by delivering the newest health additive: PROBIOTICS.

U.S. demand in the Food & Beverage Additives Industry is expected to reach $8.6 billion in 2014.

This represents a huge industry for NXT Nutritionals.

The U.S. food and beverage industry is mature but the sectors anticipated to grow are additives that are able to build market value through the introduction of new and improved products that focus on increasing consumer interest in nutritionally enriched products and all-natural foods. NXT Nutritionals intends to aggresively target this market.

All industry outlooks agree that a high value premium is placed on natural additives. Consumer desire for functional products that provide health benefits will promote demand for additives such as probiotics and other nutraceuticals.

Probiotics and other nutraceuticals are known for their bitter taste. NXT Nutritionals offers a marriage made in heaven. Probiotics with an all natural sweetener.

Nutraceuticals are expected to be fastest growing additives. Nutraceuticals — which include vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts and probiotics — are projected to experience the most rapid gains. Advances will be based on the growing popularity of functional foods containing additives that promote health.

NXT Nutritionals, Inc. has got it all in terms of the right product in growth industries.

On top of that you have a well funded company with product placement in stores RIGHT NOW — to fuel future growth.

NXT Nutritionals represents a classic, text book growth story.

Recent 2010 Letter to Shareholders

Michael McCarthy, President & CEO, recent Letter to Shareholders for 2010 paints a bright outlook for NXTH.

Dear Shareholders:

It is my pleasure to speak with you today and to discuss all of our various corporate developments to date as well as share our plans for the year ahead. As Chief Executive Officer of NXT Nutritionals, it is my intent to regularly inform our shareholders and the investment community of our progress, as we become uniquely positioned to capture a significant share of the alternative sweetener market with our great tasting and healthier sweetener, SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener.

As you already know, SUSTA is a cutting-edge, natural sweetening system that is poised to revolutionize the alternative sweetener marketplace. It has minimal calories, no lingering aftertaste and is all-natural. Not only does SUSTA sweeten the taste of food without all of the side effects of sugars or chemicals, it also contains healthy probiotics; vital dietary fiber; antioxidants and key cellular nutrients – leading to an increased metabolism. SUSTA simultaneously supports the health of your bones, heart, and immune system. This is in contrast to many of the other leading sweeteners in the marketplace, which either use chemicals to achieve their sweetening effects or are natural sweeteners with no added health benefits.

SUSTA is currently being sold as a stand-alone sweetener in a 50-packet box and is in our Healthy Dairy® Yogurt Smoothies. In addition, we recently announced the launch of our baking version of the sweetener, which is currently available for pre-order on our e-commerce site, http://www.sustastore.com/.

The 50-packet boxes of SUSTA are now available in approximately 1,200 supermarkets in the Northeast region including, ShopRite, Shaw’s Supermarkets, Pathmark, A&P Fresh, Super Fresh, Waldbaum’s, Food Emporium, Associated Supermarkets, Foodtown, Kings Super Markets, Pioneer Supermarkets, Met Foodmarkets and Key Food.

We have also announced that the product has been authorized in The Kroger Co., one of the nation’s largest grocery retailers with 2008 sales of $76.0 billion. This establishes a footprint into the Midwestern region.

I am privileged to have two great role-models and advocates to healthy living, actor Blair Underwood and National Basketball Association star Shaquille O’Neal, as spokespersons for our product. Brand awareness of SUSTA is a crucial component to better promoting all of our products. With the added health benefits of SUSTA, especially for diabetics and people with weight management issues, we intend to partner with a number of health organizations to also endorse SUSTA.

We believe that 2010 will be an extremely exciting year for us. We have already seen a great response to our SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener, and we expect to see continued brand recognition by consumers, retailers, the health community and the medical community. SUSTA’s potential increase in popularity will be driven by the simple fact that consumers are looking to reduce the amount of sugar they use and are looking to eliminate artificial products from their diet. We believe that SUSTA is the healthiest alternative to sugar currently available.

I expect the Company to meet several milestones this year as we move into a growth phase.

We will continue to add retail distribution for our product so that we may have a national presence in grocery chains across the country. Our goal is to be in over 5,000 locations this year and to expand the SUSTA product line by adding additional “SKU’s”.

The Company will continue to grow both the SUSTA and Healthy Dairy product lines in additional distribution channels other than grocery chains that will include contact feeders, big box stores, drug stores, health and nutrition stores and fast food restaurants. As we continue to build brand and product awareness, SUSTA can easily be incorporated into the table top sweetener caddies in restaurants.

As more and more food and drink products are being produced to meet the demand of the more health conscious consumers, we will be looking to partner with other food companies to have SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener as the sweetener of choice in their products. These companies will be able to offer their consumers a product with a much healthier sweetener than is currently being used.

In addition, we will look to expand upon our Medical Advisory Board to help the Company address the health problems surrounding, obesity, poor nutrition and diabetes. I intend to capitalize on the Boards expertise and guidance in addressing these growing issues as we look to provide the consumer scientific insight, health and wellness information on the benefits of using SUSTA.

In conclusion, over the last several years, we were in the developmental stage, planning and preparing to launch our products. Today, we have built the infrastructure and positioned a great team of experts to take us to the next level. I believe this year is “our year” and that we will become a recognized force in the industry.

I thank you for your attention and support. For further additional updated information, please visit our website at www.nxtnutritionals.com.

I look forward to communicating with you again soon.

Sincerely,

Michael McCarthy
President and CEO – NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc.

Brand Awareness Campaign Enlists National Celebrities

Shaquille O’Neal, National Basketball Association star, Eddie George and Blair Underwood Public Face of Susta™ and NXT Nutritional Holdings, Inc.

Shaquille O’Neal will be a spokesman for NXT Nutritionals to educate children and adults about how SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener can help them curb the country’s growing epidemic of obesity and diabetes and increase market awareness of the SUSTA brand. O’Neal is a 15-time NBA All-Star, 4-time World Champion, 3 time NBA Finals MVP and is currently playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

O’Neal stated his goal is to educate children and adults that SUSTA is the first sweetener that helps maintain a healthy lifestyle because SUSTA not only tastes great, but also contains probiotics as well as important vitamins and minerals.

Shaquille O’Neal will support the Company’s national awareness campaign for SUSTANatural Sweetener because it is the only sweetener that is all-natural, low glycemic, contains soluble fiber and probiotics, vitamins C, B6 and B12 and essential minerals and that helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, aids digestion as well as supports the immune system.

In 2007, Shaquille hosted a reality TV show on ABC, “Shaq’s Big Challenge,” which featured O’Neal’s effort to help six severely obese middle school aged children from Broward County, Florida to lose weight and gain a healthy lifestyle. The children all started out overweight and were unable to produce adequate results in the President’s Physical Fitness Test and by the end of the challenge they had all lost weight and passed the President’s Physical Fitness Test in all areas.

Eddie George, a Heisman Trophy winner, will promote SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener and Healthy Diary® Yogurt Smoothies in its nationwide expansion.

To raise awareness of the SUSTA brand when SUSTA arrives in Kroger stores in the Columbus, Ohio, area, Eddie George will be making in-store appearances, local television and radio interviews.

George has been an advocate for improving health and wellness among Americans. For the past three years, he and his wife Taj have teamed up with Dr. Oz on “The Dr. Oz Show.” Together they coached and motivated the moms throughout the 2009 NFL season as part of a national viewer challenge to inspire moms and families everywhere to improve their health. The winner of the challenge was announced on the website of the “The Dr. Oz Show.”

In 2006, George was named a spokesperson for Tennessee’s GetFitTN program by Governor Phil Bredesen. GetFitTN is a statewide awareness program to address the rising epidemic of Type 2 diabetes and risk factors that lead to diabetes, such as obesity. This initiative is aimed at educating both adults and children that Type 2 diabetes can be delayed or even prevented with modest lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity and a healthier diet.

Blair Underwood, an American television and film actor, director, producer and entrepreneur Blair Underwood, will serve as the national spokesperson for NXT Nutritionals and its SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener. For over 20 years, Mr. Underwood has had a successful career playing a wide variety of roles on numerous television and feature films, including his breakout role as a brash attorney on the popular legal drama “L.A. Law” for seven years, his role on the HBO series “In Treatment,” his recurring role on the sit-com “The New Adventures of Old Christine” with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and his role as Dr. Robert Leeds on the popular HBO series “Sex and the City.” Mr. Underwood has earned two Golden Globe nominations and six NAACP Image awards for offering audiences multi-faceted characters including lawyers, doctors and executives in his film and television work. In addition, Mr. Underwood earned a Grammy Award this year for “Best Spoken Word Album” narrating (with Cynthia Nixon and Beau Bridges) Al Gore’s audio book, “An Inconvenient Truth.” Underwood’s versatility, compelling screen presence, and take-charge appeal proved to be a consistent crowd pleaser with audiences and critics alike. Additionally, Mr. Underwood has produced and directed several short movies and music videos, and is also known for his major contributions through his philanthropic efforts.

Mr. Underwood will represent NXT Nutritionals and their SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener. Blair Underwood is focused on delivering the Company message which addresses the growing epidemic of obesity and diabetes in our country and profiling SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener as a natural healthy alternative to table sugar and the existing artificial sweeteners on the market. Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, aiding in digestion, and supporting the immune system are critical to a healthy lifestyle. He will educate consumers about the benefits of using SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener.

Medizone International, Inc. (OTCBB: MZEI) Building Four Instrumented Prototype units

StockGuru — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:00:08 +0000

Four Instrumented Prototypes

Medizone International announced unprecedented success in being able to predictably achieve 6 log (99.9999%) kill rates for the causative agents of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) represented with AsepticSure™.

Medizone will build four highly instrumented prototype units for use in its hospital program.

The four intrumented prototypes will allow for a precise performance assessment of all AsepticSure™ systems.

This will form the basis for final production design work, manufacturing and ultimately commercialization later this year.

By introducing the same combinations and protocols to room scale testing results coincided with what had been achieved in the most recent round of laboratory trials.

All samples were either completely destroyed, that is no growth compared to the control samples, or so significantly reduced that the effect met the 6 log definition for sterilization.

The actual results of this series of tests indicate reductions in pathogens, commonly associated with HAIs, can reliably be achieved by AsepticSure™ as follows:

In parallel research conducted at BioZone Corporation, Medizone’s engineering development partner, it was confirmed the AsepticSure™ hospital sterilization system can charge a room of 1,065 cubic feet to the target ozone level in less than 15 minutes, which is followed by the ozone decontamination phase. The same room can then be returned to a habitable standard (less than 0.02 ppm ozone) in 13 minutes using a separate ozone destruct technology. This confirms the start to finish time to complete the entire decontamination process can be achieved with minimal disturbance to normal hospital flow patterns.
