exoFlex™is the world’s first liposomal encapsulated egg membrane joint health product, which delivers superior benefits with enhanced bio-availability.

Johnston, Iowa (PRWEB) March 16, 2017

Biova is pleased to announce with Aurora Nutrascience, the commercial launch of exoFlex™. The world’s first liposomal encapsulated egg membrane joint health product. exoFlex™ utilizes Biova’s clinically demonstrated BiovaFlex®

When choosing a natural joint health supplement, it’s not only the ingredients that are important, or even their dosage size but, how the nutrients get to their targeted areas to start providing results. exoFlex™ is a powerful formulation of potent, synergistic clinically tested nutrients featuring Biova’s BiovaFlex® water soluble egg shell membrane, encapsulated into all-natural lipospheres. These incredible nano-sized liposomes protect the exoFlex™ ingredients, helping to facilitate a more efficient transition through the enzymes of the digestive system as they make their way into the body's bloodstream.

The body’s joints are basically anatomical structures consisting of two bones, separated by a tough, elastic, shock-absorbing, flexible connective tissue called cartilage. In most cases the cartilage is wrapped in ligaments as well as the tendons of muscles that create the movement at the joints. These articulate joints are found throughout our body providing us with the ability to move. The number one cause of joint pain is osteoarthritis or age related inflammation, wear and tear and the breakdown of cartilage due to strenuous athletic training or injury on the joint structures. These conditions can create a multitude of symptoms including swelling, pain, irritation and a substantial loss of range of motion coupled with the decreased overall function of the joint.

exoFlex™ works by providing Biova, LLC’s water soluble egg membrane ‘BiovaFlex®’ along with select nutraceutical grade nutrients and antioxidants into a liquid oral dosage form. BiovaFlex® has been shown to ‘Reduce Joint Discomfort’ and increase ‘Range of Motion’ in clinical studies submitted to Health Canada. This potent formula can assist the body to neutralize and decrease the free radical damage while helping to create the building blocks required to aid in reducing inflammation. exoFlex™ can also help to promote the rehydration and restoration of essential joint fluids and tissue, thus improving your overall joint health and quality of life.

According to Heath Canada exoFlex™ Product Licence #80074736·     Starts to help reduce pain at 5 days
· Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis
· Helps to reduce stiffness associated with osteoarthritis
· Helps to relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee
· Helps to reduce blood C reactive protein levels, a clinical marker of inflammation
· Helps in the development and maintenance of bones
· Helps in the development and maintenance of cartilage
· Helps in connective tissue formation

When asked about the new launch, Biova’s CEO, Pat Schneider said that, “We are very excited about the unique system that Aurora & Vida have used to offer BiovaFlex’s® benefits to consumers. This is a breakthrough in delivery methods and we look forward to how this novel technology will advance joint health for all.”

Phil Bolden, Co-President of Vida Lifescience stated, “Our retail partners are very excited about exoFlex™. Aurora has applied its enhanced liposomal delivery systems to an already clinically demonstrated ingredient (BiovaFlex®) and added the benefits of Curcumin, Boswellia, MSM and Vitamin C. exoFlex™ promises to be a leader in Joint Health Category. Research shows consumers are seeking new products that deliver results without the side effects of traditional options."

Aurora Nutrascience’s President - CEO Mr. David J. Johnson commented, “working with Biova and their professional team has been instrumental in the utilization of their BiovaFlex® nutrient in creation of a product that our competition simply could not fathom. exoFlex™ is a result of the extensive evaluation and development by our lab technicians and represents a very unique and innovative product that offers several improvements over other offerings in the Joint Support & Mobility sector of the market today. In our opinion exoFlex™ is the smarter, scientifically created, all-natural, drug-free solution for people with joint related stress, inflammation, osteoarthritis, tendinitis or other degenerative issues.”

In spite of the frequent pleas from national Democrat leaders for increased gun control, the United States is no closer to implementing such laws, in spite of constant headlines pointing to mass killings and calling for more government action. This was certainly true with the rise of Donald Trump and his very pro-gun Attorney General. However, I think this would have remained the same, even if Hillary Clinton were elected. Americans want their guns. This reality becomes all the more clear as many in law enforcement openly push against the call for more gun laws and average Americans treating the situation like a call to arms.

Following the attacks by terrorists in Paris, the Police Chief in Detroit, Michigan surprised the media by announcing that armed citizens are making Detroit decidedly unattractive to terrorists. According to CBS Detroit, because “more guns, fewer problems. That, at least, is Detroit Police Chief’s James Craig’s view of Detroit and fears about a possible terrorist attack.” The article goes on to state, “Detroit’s police chief says he believes the fear that armed citizens would return fire serves as a deterrent for a potential terrorist attack in the rust belt city.”

This is a theme Chief Craig has promoted for quite a while. In 2014 it was reported in the Washington Times that “Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies than it did last year, and Police Chief James Craig is crediting armed citizens for the drop. ‘Criminals are getting the message that good Detroiters are armed and will use that weapon,’ Chief Craig, who has been an open advocate for private gun ownership, told The Detroit News in an interview. ‘I don’t want to take away from the good work our investigators are doing, but I think part of the drop in crime, and robberies in particular, is because criminals are thinking twice that citizens could be armed.’”

Craig is not the only law enforcement official pushing against the gun control narrative. Ulster County New York Sheriff Paul Van Blarcum has gone even further, advocating for all people with carry permits to keep their guns on them. The Sheriff, who is a Democrat, wrote on his office’s Facebook page: “In light of recent events that have occurred in the United States and around the world I want to encourage citizens of Ulster County who are licensed to carry a firearm to PLEASE DO SO.”

Although it is new to see those in law enforcement be vocal in maintaining such positions, it has long been known that the consensus of most police is a desire to see more responsibly and legally armed citizens. The website, PoliceOne, did an extensive survey of 15,000 officers to determine law enforcement attitudes about gun ownership, and the results will likely surprise most consumers of the news today. According to the survey, “More than 91 percent of respondents support the concealed carry of firearms by civilians who have not been convicted of a felony and/or not been deemed psychologically/medically incapable.” Furthermore, a “full 86 percent feel that casualties would have been reduced or avoided in tragedies like Newtown and Aurora if a legally-armed citizen was present (casualties reduced: 80 percent; avoided altogether: 60 percent).” Even more surprising is law enforcement’s view of what should happen in public schools when it comes to protecting young people, with “more than 81 percent of respondents were in favor of arming teachers and school administrators if they were properly trained and vetted or at least proficient.”

Law enforcement is not the only one resisting the anti-gun rhetoric. Average Americans are responding to mass shootings by purchasing more guns. For many, the obvious fact that all of these events are happening in “gun free zones,” makes it very logical that they want to assure their own protection wherever possible. Furthermore, we are seeing contrarian attitudes about gun free zones, as the President of the largest Christian University in the US has urged his students to carry guns on campus and the Texas Legislature passed a law requiring the state’s public institutions of higher learning to allow those who are properly licensed to carry guns.

Rhetoric by politicians and the media are at an all time high when it comes to anti-gun rhetoric, but the trend is actually very much against more gun control laws. That is certainly the case under Trump, but clearly would have remained the case, even if Hillary had won. America’s love of guns continues.

RadioShack, which filed for bankruptcy for the second time last week, is closing 552 of its stores. 

The closures will affect 36% of the chain's stores.

A court filing listed the locations that are set to close. These stores have the "lowest sales velocity and highest rent," according to the court filing.

The company said it will "continue to evaluate" the fate of its remaining 1,000 stores.

The closures will occur in two waves, with 187 closing immediately and another 365 closing by the first week of April.

Responding to a significant bulk material handling–industry challenge, Benetech, Inc. is raising awareness of its washdown and conveyor belt washing systems that are engineered and installed to remove all remaining fugitive dust and help operators achieve government compliance for different buildings and applications.

Aurora, IL (PRWEB) March 21, 2017

Responding to a significant bulk material handling–industry challenge, Benetech, Inc. is raising awareness of its washdown and conveyor belt washing systems that are engineered and installed to remove all remaining fugitive dust and help operators achieve government compliance for different buildings and applications.

Benetech systems enhance worker safety, reduce the risk of fires and explosions, lower housekeeping costs and improve equipment reliability and longevity.

To establish customized facility and conveyor-belt cleaning, Benetech’s in-house specialists first evaluate the bulk material–handling plant. They then create a design for minimizing water usage and integrating engineered drainage, curbing and water shielding.

Once design strategies and concept drawings are approved, Benetech assists in the selection of spray heads and nozzle arrangements for washing beam pockets, walls, floors, ceilings and the roof truss. The full system is then hydraulically balanced and zoned. Each zone can be manually activated or fully automated through a programmable logic controller (PLC).

“Our engineers are highly skilled in fluid engineering and spray control,” said Benetech Vice President Paul Moran. “This allows them to develop washdown and conveyor belt washing systems for diverse applications with wide-ranging demands. Benetech facility and conveyor belt cleaning systems are used throughout bulk material–handling operations, including unloading areas, reclaim tunnels, conveyor galleries, crusher houses, conditional buildings, transfer towers, tripper rooms and cascade rooms. These systems improve housekeeping and safety and ensure governmental compliance with the OSHA NEP on combustible dust.”

Benetech provides complete, performance-based solutions for dust mitigation and bulk material handling systems. Its products, services and technologies reduce dust, prevent spillage, improve material flow and reinforce compliance. A partner in planning, engineering and operating dust control and material handling, Benetech helps companies assess challenges, establish priorities and achieve the results they require.
