BOSTON, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Embr Labs today announced its selection as the Best OTC Healthcare Product at Total Store Expo, the largest gathering of retailers and suppliers in the health and wellness industry. Embr Labs was selected by vote of the attending retail buyers from major US retailers. The Embr Wave® is a wrist-worn wearable that utilizes temperature as a new pathway to the brain to manage hot flashes, improve sleep, and manage stress. The product serves the 1.1 billion women in menopause who desire a natural approach to this important life transition. The product is also utilized by men and women of all ages for thermal comfort, sleep, and stress management.

"We were thrilled to be recognized by retail buyers as the best OTC product at the show," stated Jesse Hester, VP of Commercial Sales. "This award and the recognition by the buyers lays the foundation for the Embr Wave to be made available throughout the US at leading retailers where shoppers discover new products like ours."

"For emerging brands like Embr Labs, Total Store Expo would normally be out of our reach, but by partnering with three other innovative healthtech brands to showcase our products, we teamed up to make TSE a reality," Mr. Hester added.

Embr Labs co-exhibited with Audien Hearing, an OTC hearing aid company that makes hearing aids affordable to all; Nufabrx, a producer of compression sleeves with embedded medication for pain; and Kihealth, a consumer company that makes novel diagnostic kits for metabolic disease, gut health, and auto-immune disorders.
