NXT Nutritionals Expands Distribution of SUSTA(TM) Natural Sweetener through United Natural Foods

NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. ("NXT Nutritionals"), developer and marketer of SUSTA(TM) Natural Sweetener, the great tasting, all-natural, healthier sweetener, announced today that it has expanded distribution of its SUSTA(TM) Natural Sweetener 50 Packet Boxes through United Natural Foods, Inc. ("UNFI"), a leading national distributor of natural, organic and specialty foods. UNFI carries and distributes to more than 17,000 customers nationwide through 12 distribution centers across the United States.

President and CEO Michael McCarthy of NXT Nutritionals reported that the company's campaign of educating consumers about SUSTA's superiority to other sweeteners has been successful thus far in spreading the message that the all-natural, better tasting sweetener, SUSTA, is also "better-for-you," because it contains probiotics, prebiotics, vitamins C, B6 and B12 as well as essential minerals that support the immune system and aid digestion.

"We are beginning to see consumers get excited about SUSTA," McCarthy said, "as they are enjoying SUSTA with their tea, cereal and other foods."

"United Natural Foods has a commanding footprint in the distribution of natural, organic and specialty foods, which in turn is why they are an essential partner in our consumer outreach introduction," said McCarthy.

Headquartered in Providence, RI, United Natural Foods, Inc. carries and distributes more than 60,000 products to more than 17,000 customers nationwide. The Company serves a wide variety of retail formats including conventional supermarket chains, natural product superstores, independent retail operators and the food service channel.

SUSTA is targeted at individuals for whom sugar is either not a viable option, or is an undesirable option, such as diabetics, individuals on weight loss programs, and those proactively managing obesity. SUSTA is the only sweetening system in the retail marketplace that is all-natural, low glycemic, contains soluble fiber and probiotics, vitamins C, B6 and B12 and essential minerals and that helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, aids digestion as well as supports the immune system.
