Gemoscan Canada, Inc.: Diet and Wellness Management Now Even Easier With Hemocode™ Lite at Rexall™ and Rexall Pharma Plus™
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 14, 2012) - Gemoscan Canada, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GES) (MUN:1GE)
With statistics demonstrating that nearly 30 percent of Canadians may be affected by food sensitivities, access to affordable and comprehensive food intolerance based nutrition and diet management systems are more important than ever before. Starting today, Rexall™ and Rexall™ Pharma Plus™ stores across Canada will be even better equipped to meet this demand with the introduction of HEMOCODE™ Lite. Based on the popular [ HEMOCODE™ Food Intolerance System ], which clarifies and helps people deal with sensitivities to 250 foods and additives, HEMOCODE™ Lite now targets and manages for sensitivities to 60 of the most common foods.
"This is one more way Rexall is making it easier for Canadians to feel good about their health," said Tracey Phillips, Vice President, Pharmacy, Rexall. "We're pleased to exclusively provide a lower-priced option for food intolerance testing with HEMOCODE™ Lite and add to our many services and products that help Canadians identify, relieve and prevent digestive issues."
HEMOCODE™ Lite provides easier access to those Canadians who are looking for improved wellness through diet, but may also be looking for a more gradual and lower-priced option.
"Food intolerances can impede a variety of processes that occur in a healthy body. Managing your intolerances can restore healthy function and may make your body more efficient at absorbing the vitamins and minerals you need. Most people also note, not only improvements in their welfare, but a feeling of greater energy and overall wellness, after engaging with Hemocode" stated Dr. Mubina Jiwa, ND.
Those suffering from food intolerances may experience pain and discomfort that often adversely affects their daily functioning. Without proper management of the offending foods, consumers may suffer unnecessarily for years or even a lifetime. As with the original, HEMOCODE™ Food Intolerance System, with just a few drops of blood, HEMOCODE™ Lite delivers a program, developed and administered by licensed doctors of naturopathic medicine, that includes: a comprehensive report of offending foods complete with personalized information and recommendations for dietary wellness; regular naturopathic consultation; easy-to-follow instructions and handy tools to help you in feeling your best, but, at a lower-price.
"As food intolerances have become better understood in the scope of diet and nutritional wellness, the need for all Canadians to have greater access to a management tool like HEMOCODE™ has never been more important," says Dr. Mubina Jiwa, Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine.
HEMOCODE™ Lite is available exclusively at Rexall™ and Rexall™ Pharma Plus™ stores nationwide for $129 and may be covered through extended health care programs under naturopathy.
