CORALVILLE, Iowa - (Business Wire) Vivakor, Inc. (OTCBB: VIVK) today announced it has completed a pilot product evaluation program with consumer product specialist, Regeneca International, Inc. (www.regeneca.com). The product evaluation involved Vivakor’s proprietary nutraceutical formulation derived from natural sources. Research has shown that phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, all present in fruits and vegetables, work synergistically to promote health and lower disease risk. For this reason, many organizations, such as the National Cancer Institute and The American Heart Association, recommend getting phytochemicals from whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables. The Vivakor product is a whole food supplement designed to deliver these essential nutrients to the users in small, single dose units. Regeneca’s President, Larry Walter gave his thoughts on the study. “Not only are the consumer study results impressive, but the overall opportunity to work with the team of professionals at Vivakor gives us a great deal of optimism for our future dealings with the company.”
The parties plan additional studies with the hope of a market ready product by early 2010.
