WELLESSE® Premium Supplements Launches Innovative Line of Liquid Bariatric Supplements

FERNDALE, Wash., Nov. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Botanical Laboratories, makers of Wellesse Liquid Supplements, is expanding its product line by launching a bariatric-focused line of liquid dietary supplements.  Wellesse BARIATRIC LIQUID SOLUTIONS offers quality, value and an innovative alternative to the bariatric market at over 25,000 select U.S. retailers and online, including www.wellesse.com/bariatric.asp.

Bariatric surgical treatment is one of the fastest growing options to assist with weight loss for the life-threatening disease of obesity, affecting over 33% of adults in the US.  Weight loss surgery patients have special pre- and post-surgery nutritional requirements.  Wellesse targets specific nutrient deficiencies within the weight loss surgery community with the same dedication offered to existing consumers.

Michelle Tegenkamp, MS, RD, LD at Oregon Health Sciences University supports the Wellesse mission, "Supplements are important post-bariatric surgery to ensure people are meeting their daily needs. Wellesse supplements, in their liquid form, are easy to take and provide many important micronutrients."

The Wellesse BARIATRIC LIQUID SOLUTIONS line of products targets:

• The most common vitamin and mineral deficiencies specific to bariatric patients, such as Vitamin A, B-12 and B-Complex, Iron, Calcium and Vitamin D.
• Consumers seeking the rapid bioavailability, and ease of dosing in liquid nutritional sources during critical recovery phases and ongoing maintenance following bariatric surgery.
• Dietitians and clinicians seeking alternatives to increase patient compliance with quality, affordable and convenient bariatric supplements.

Wellesse offers pleasant tasting liquid vitamin and mineral supplements in easy to take serving sizes.  Products can be purchased based upon assessed need, in a value-added $55 first time user, multi-pack option or as individual bottles.  For more information on Wellesse BARIATRIC LIQUID SOLUTIONS and all available Wellesse products, including our #1 selling liquid glucosamine concentrate, Joint Movement Glucosamine, visit www.wellesse.com.
