Retail Buyers Introduced to FLEXI NUTRITION at ECRM’s ‘Healthy Living, Vitamin, and Nutrition Program’

IRISH WHEY, FURY Ultimate Pre-Workout, and FURY Extreme Pre-Workout Shot Supplements Expected Soon in the United States

PALM BEACH, FL, April 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FLEXI NUTRITION introduced its dietary supplements to buyers from large and small retail chains, such as CVS and Walgreens, at last month’s ECRM program.

The private one-on-one virtual meetings between retailers and the manufacturer of IRISH WHEY, FURY Ultimate Pre-Workout, and FURY Extreme Pre-Workout Shots took place last month at ECRM’s “Healthy Living, Vitamins & Nutrition Program.”

“Our representative promoted FLEXI NUTRITION to large and small retail chains in the United States,” said Shane Kennedy, CEO and founder of FLEXI NUTRITION. “We are proud of our high-quality dietary supplements, which are considered the best sports nutrition products in Ireland.”

Kennedy said FLEXI NUTRITION developed its dietary supplements to boost athletic performance, strength, and overall personal health and fitness.

“Our research and development team works with sports nutritionists and food scientists to develop high-quality products for today’s athletes and health-conscious consumers,” Kennedy added.

The three FLEXI NUTRITION products that debuted at ECRM are:

  • IRISH WHEY is manufactured from sustainably farmed, Irish Grass-Fed, and Free-Range Whey Protein, which is also Gluten and GMO-Free. IRISH WHEY provides the perfect balance of essential and non-essential Amino Acids, including a high concentration of Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). It is the perfect nutritional component to complement your muscle growth, fat loss, or fitness program. Great taste and mixability.
  • FURY Extreme Pre-Workout Shot is a Sugar-Free grab-and-go product that targets improved mental and cognitive function for high performance during intense workouts. Ingredients include high caffeine content, L-Tyrosine, Beta-Alanine, B-Vitamins, Citrulline Malate, and Arginine. No mixing is required. Three great flavors.
  • FURY Ultimate Pre-Workout Energizer is the most powerful, most effective, and most advanced pre-workout catalyst on the market. It delivers prolonged explosive energy and intense focus without the crash associated with other pre-trainers. Ingredients include high caffeine content, L-Tyrosine, Beta-Alanine, B-Vitamins, Citrulline Malate, and Arginine. Great taste and mixability.

One of FLEXI NUTRITION’S most highly regarded products is its IRISH WHEY Protein, which comes from sustainably farmed, free-range, grass-fed dairy. IRISH WHEY contains an optimum blend of Instantised, De-Lactosed Pure Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, and Hydrolysed Whey.

“IRISH WHEY beats any other brand on the market,” he said.

Kennedy said serious bodybuilders and athletes will benefit from FLEXI NUTRITION’s rapid absorption formulas, which include high levels of BCAAs, and the premium quality protein contained in its IRISH WHEY.

All the products are manufactured in an Informed Sports Certified Facility, which guarantees that the supplements have been tested for banned substances by the world-class sports and anti-doping laboratory, LGC.

“We take developing world-class sports nutrition for serious athletes seriously, which is why we test every batch for banned substances,” Kennedy said. “Athletes don’t have to worry about testing positive for a banned substance with FLEXI NUTRITION supplements.”

FLEXI NUTRITION also uses sustainable manufacturing techniques for its Irish Whey Protein, while Fury and Fury Shot are vegan-friendly products. The company uses bio-degradable packaging for its Fury Shot.

FLEXI NUTRITION dietary supplements are highly regarded in Ireland for their premium quality. During the past several years, the company received the “Best in Sports Nutrition” honor from the Irish Business Summit and was a 2019 finalist in the “Best in Sports Nutrition” from the Irish Fitness Industry Awards.

“We are honored that other organizations acknowledge our high-quality products,” Kennedy said, adding that FLEXI NUTRITION’s supplements are safe and great tasting.

LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the upcoming May 7, 2021 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Plug Power Inc. (“Plug” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PLUG) securities between November 9, 2020 and March 1, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

If you suffered a loss on your Plug investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/plug-power-inc/.

On March 2, 2021, before the market opened, Plug filed a Notification of Late Filing with the SEC stating that it could not timely file its annual report for the period ended December 31, 2020 because the Company was completing a “review and assessment of the treatment of certain costs with regards to classification between Research and Development versus Costs of Goods Sold, the recoverability of right of use assets associated with certain leases, and certain internal controls over these and other areas.” The Company stated that “[i]t is possible that one or more of these items may result in charges or adjustments to current and/or prior period financial statements.”

On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $3.68, or 7%, to close at $48.78 per share on March 2, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume. The share price continued to decline by $9.48, or 19.4%, over three consecutive trading sessions to close at $39.30 per share on March 5, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company would be unable to timely file its 2020 annual report due to delays related to the review of classification of certain costs and the recoverability of the right to use assets with certain leases; (2) that the Company was reasonably likely to report material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting; and (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against EHang Holdings Limited (EH)

Shareholders with $10,000 losses or more are encouraged to contact the firm

PR Newswire

LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the upcoming April 19, 2021 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired EHang Holdings Limited (“EHang” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EH) American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) between December 12, 2019 and February 16, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

If you suffered a loss on your EHang investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/ehang-holdings-limited/. You can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at [email protected] to learn more about your rights.

On February 16, 2021, analyst Wolfpack Research published a research report entitled “EHang: A Stock Promotion Destined to Crash and Burn.”Citing “extensive evidence” including “behind-the-scenes photographs, recorded phone calls, and videos of on-site visits to EH’s various facilities,” the report alleged that EHang is “an elaborate stock promotion, built on largely fabricated revenues based on sham sales contracts with a customer [Shanghai Kunxiang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.] who appears to us to be more interested in helping inflate the value of its investment in EH . . . than about buying its products.” Wolfpack Research also noted that “in just 14 months as a publicly traded company, EH’s PR team has put out 50 press releases . . . . However, EH’s constant stream of press releases are easily proven untrue.” Finally, the report alleged that Wolfpack Research “obtained Chinese court records which show that EH’s ADRs may already be in serious jeopardy due to legal issues in China.”

On this news, the Company’s share price fell $77.79, or approximately 62.7%, to close at $46.30 per share, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company’s purported regulatory approvals in Europe and North America for its EH216 were for use as a drone, and not for carrying passengers; (2) its relationship with its purported primary customer is a sham; (3) EHang has only collected on a fraction of its reported sales since its ADS began trading on NASDAQ in December 2019; (4) the Company’s manufacturing facilities were practically empty and lacked evidence of advanced manufacturing equipment or employees; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Follow us for updates on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired EHang ADSs  during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than April 19, 2021to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

LOS ANGELES, April 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the upcoming May 7, 2021 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired XL Fleet Corp. (“XL Fleet” or the “Company”) (NYSE: XL) securities between October 2, 2020 and March 2, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

On March 3, 2021, Muddy Waters Research published a report entitled “XL Fleet Corp. (NYSE: XL): More SPAC Trash,” alleging, among other things, that salespeople “were pressured to inflate their sales pipelines materially in order to mislead XL’s board and investors” and that “customer reorder rates are in reality quite low” due to “poor performance and regulatory issues.” Citing interviews with former employees, the report alleged that “at least 18 of 33 customers XL featured were inactive.” Muddy Waters also claimed that XL has “weak technology” and that “XL’s announcement of future class 7-8 upfits seems highly promotional” because the task is “too technologically complex for XL engineers to deliver on the promised timeline.”

On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $2.09, or 13%, to close at $13.86 per share on March 3, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume. The share price continued to decline by $2.69, or 19.4%, over two consecutive trading sessions to close at $11.17 per share on March 5, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that XL Fleet’s salespeople were pressured to inflate their sales pipelines to boost the Company’s reported sales and backlog; (2) that at least 18 of the 33 customers that XL featured were inactive and had not placed an order since 2019; (3) that XL’s technology had been materially overstated and offered only 5% to 10% of fleet savings; (4) that XL lacks the supply chain and engineers to roll out new products on the announced timelines; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS)

LOS ANGELES, April 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the upcoming May 3, 2021 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Leidos Holdings, Inc. (“Leidos” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LDOS) securities between May 4, 2020 and February 23, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Leidos investors have until May 3, 2021 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

If you suffered a loss on your Leidos investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/leidos-holdings-inc. You can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at [email protected] to learn more about your rights.

On February 16, 2021, Spruce Point Capital Management LLC (“Spruce Point”) published a research report, alleging, among other things that “Leidos is potentially covering up at least $100m of fictitious sales, mischaracterizing $355 – $367m of international revenue.” The report also alleged that the Company was “concealing numerous product defects from investors, notably faulty explosive detection systems at airports and borders.”

On this news, the Company’s share price fell $2.58, or 2.4%, to close at $105.22 per share on February 16, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume.

On February 23, 2021, Leidos announced its fourth quarter and full year 2020 financial results in a press release. Therein, the Company reported $89 million revenue related to the SD&A businesses for the fourth quarter, meaning that after two full quarters, the acquisition generated only $163 million in sales (or $326 million annualized), falling well short of projected $500 million sales. The Company expected cash flow of $850 million, well below analyst estimates of $1.083 billion.

On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $10.29, or 9.91%, to close at $93.51 per share on February 23, 2021.

On February 24, 2021, Spruce Point highlighted that Leidos had “materially expanded” the risk disclosures in its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2020. Spruce Point tweeted: “We believe it is validating all the major points of our report.”

On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $3.13, or 3.3%, to close at $90.38 per share on February 24, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the purported benefits of the Company’s acquisition of L3Harris’ Security Detection & Automation businesses were significantly overstated; (2) that Leidos’ products suffered from numerous product defects, including faulty explosive detection systems at airports, ports, and borders; (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial results were significantly overstated; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Follow us for updates on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Leidos securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than May 3, 2021 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action.

Holland America Line Celebrates ‘National Food Faces Day’ April 6 in Honor of Master Chef Rudi Sodamin’s Pop Art Sensation

PR Newswire

Click to Tweet: .@HALcruises encourages fans around the world to play with their food and have fun by making a Food Face to celebrate #NationalFoodFacesDay.

SEATTLE, April 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — When was the last time you played with your food? If you’re ready to get creative in the kitchen, join Holland America Line April 6 to celebrate the first annual National Food Faces Day. Designated in the National Day Archives, the day commemorates the culinary pop art created by the brand’s Master Chef Rudi Sodamin, whose birthday is April 6.

Join Holland America Line April 6 to celebrate the first annual National Food Faces Day.

Holland America Line is encouraging fans to get playful and share their creations on social media using #NationalFoodFacesDay to spread the joy.

“We have seen the way Food Faces resonates with people, showing us that Rudi’s passion for bringing happiness through food can transcend beyond our guests to fans everywhere,” said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. “Designating April 6 National Food Faces Day not only honors Rudi’s creativity when it comes to food and art, but it also shows everyone that Holland America Line continues to be an innovator in unique ways.”

Sodamin began designing and photographing his Food Faces several years ago on a whim in a shipboard galley to entertain team members. In 2018 he released the art-table book, “Food Faces,” featuring more than 150 vibrant images of his edible cast of characters. His artistic inspiration comes from culinary ingredients and human expression, and he created each personality from food items including vegetables, fruit, meats, fish, grains and sweets.

“When I saw how my Food Faces inspired people and made them smile, I knew that this art was capable of something special. I want to spread that joy through these works of art created with food,” said Sodamin. “Food Faces can be made with anything edible, and I encourage everyone to have fun, be creative and let go while making culinary art.

“A simple fruit plate presented as a cheerful face at breakfast is a great way to start your day with a smile,” added Sodamin. “I’m excited to have an official day to celebrate my passion for Food Faces with everyone around the world.”

On board Holland America Line ships, guests who dine at award-winning Rudi’s Sel de Mer upscale seafood restaurant or pop-up can enjoy his dynamic Food Faces on exclusive limited-edition plate chargers made by Bernardaud, the leading French manufacturer of Limoges porcelain. Each plate charger features a different image from the “Food Faces” book, creating a table setting that’s a conversation starter.

Sodamin’s “Food Faces” coffee table book was published by Welcome Books, an imprint of Rizzoli, and is available for purchase at bookstores nationwide and online. 

Bernardaud plate charger sets and the “Food Faces” book also can be purchased on board Holland America Line ships.

Recognizing that 2020 was an unprecedented year, the Business Journal launched the Health Care Heroes awards to honor the healthcare workers who have gone above and beyond in their efforts to fight the global COVID-19 pandemic while continuing to provide care for non-COVID patients. The program recognizes Twin Cities’ individuals who have put innovation, care, dedication, and compassion to work to improve the human condition. Honorees were announced on April 5* by the Business Journal and will be recognized during a virtual event on June 10 and in a June 11 special print edition.

Waltenbaugh stood out for his dedication to shining the bright light of data onto healthcare and societal disparities—the very disparities that collided in 2020 when the world was gripped simultaneously by the pandemic and racial unrest that exploded in the wake of George Floyd’s death—to enable a future without barriers to better health for everyone. He co-founded Carrot Health in 2014 as the vehicle for applying the power of data to eliminating the systemic barriers that prevent people from leading their healthiest lives.

Over the past year, Waltenbaugh’s passion for addressing the social determinants of health (SDoH) that create health disparities and impact public health and public safety resulted in development of Carrot Health’s COVID-19 Critical Infection Risk Dashboard, which predicts the populations and communities that are most susceptible to the negative impacts from a coronavirus outbreak. It also led to the launch of the Carrot Social Risk Grouper® (SRG), which was developed to help understand, identify, measure, and quantify the social barriers and circumstances in which people live. It identifies who is most at risk in a population to help determine which interventions may help lead to better health outcomes.

The impact of Waltenbaugh’s work through Carrot Health can be seen locally in St. Paul’s Frogtown community, where the SRG was used to understand the health risks associated with the 35,000 adult residents. By determining the most prevalent causes for high health risk—financial insecurity among the Hmong population and housing instability among the Black population—the SRG paves the way for designing a solution that enables all of Frogtown’s residents to lead their healthiest lives.

Waltenbaugh is also focused on applying data to address the region’s public health and public safety issues created by the disparities that were laid bare by the pandemic and Floyd’s death and subsequent riots. This includes working with neighbors and elected officials to determine the community’s best response to effectively alleviate the sort of systemic conditions that were clearly exacerbated by the dual crises.

“Being recognized as one of the Twin Cities’ Health Care Heroes is an honor,” said Waltenbaugh. “My heroes are my colleagues who joined me in building Carrot Health, and our customers who are committed to health equity and removing barriers to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live their best life.”

He continued: “I am honored to be recognized with so many others who are similarly dedicated to improving community and health.”

Retail Buyers Introduced to OnMi “Patch it On” Supplements at ECRM’s ‘Healthy Living, Vitamins & Nutrition Program’

OnMi’s Innovative Delivery Method Makes it Stand Out at Buyer/Sellers Get-Together

PALM BEACH, FL, April 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OnMi “Patch It On” dietary supplements went on 50 dates last week with buyers from large and small retail chains in the United States. 

OnMi took part in ECRM’s “Healthy Living, Vitamins & Nutrition Program,” an industry leader that brings together retail buyers and manufacturers of new products in one-on-one meetings.

“We are quite excited that buyers from major retailers in the United States got to learn about OnMi vitamin and plant-based supplements,” said Ryan McFarlane, COO of OnMi, a Miami-based health and wellness company. “We developed a transdermal patch that makes it easy for anyone to take their daily essential vitamins.

McFarlane emphasized that OnMi delivers vitamins and botanicals without sugar and potentially harmful filler ingredients.

“OnMi’s ‘Patch it On’ supplements also avoid the gastro-intestinal tract where gastric acids can reduce the effectiveness of nutritional supplements that are swallowed,” he added.

OnMi supplements stand apart from other nutritional supplements because of their delivery method and ingredients, or more importantly, what is not in OnMi supplements.

“Our delivery method is perfect for many people who have trouble swallowing pills,” McFarlane said. “With OnMi, all you have to do is put the patch on your arm.

“Plus, our vitamins don’t have ingredients used for manufacturing purposes, such as lubricants added for the machines that make the pills or tablets,” he added.

McFarlane said consumers don’t realize many dietary supplements contain 10 percent vitamins and 90 percent filler ingredients, such as silicon dioxide and microcrystalline cellulose, which are potentially harmful.

“Our patch supplements deliver 100 percent vitamins and botanicals without the filler ingredients,” he said.

OnMi developed supplements that fit everyone’s needs:

  • Vitamin: This patch is an easy way to get your daily essential vitamins, with no fillers or sugar.
  • Crave-Less: This patch helps you say no to cravings with focus and energy.
  • Relax: This patch promotes relaxation and helps you manage everyday stress.
  • Energy: This power-up patch provides sustainable energy with a boost of antioxidants.
  • Healthy Weight: This patch supports healthy weight maintenance along with a balanced diet and exercise.
  • Hangover: Boost your body’s ability to bounce back by replenishing essential vitamins plus guarana.
  • Sleep: This patch supports healthy sleep cycles and promotes quality rest.

OnMi products, which only contain plant-based ingredients and vitamins, are also Non-GMO, Hypoallergenic, Paraben Free, Dye Free, Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, and Latex Free.

“This is an exciting year for OnMi,” McFarlane said. “We are looking to follow up with the retailers our representative met at ECRM. We are optimistic that the retailers will see that many consumers want an alternative to pill-popping their vitamins.”
