Zone Diet and Apothecary by Design to Provide Product and Player Wellness Support to the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League
PORTLAND, ME, November 04, 2009 /Maine PR News/ -- Apothecary by Design and Zone Labs Inc. announced their first-ever team partnership with the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League today. As an official performance and nutrition sponsor, Zone Labs and Apothecary by Design will work together to supply players and team trainers with educational resources, food, and supplement products, including Dr. Sears' Zone Nutrition Bars, Dr. Sears' Zone Nutrition Shakes, OmegaRx and Polyphenol Plus.
Apothecary by Design - Portland's locally owned pharmacy - and Zone Labs Inc. - a leading functional foods and nutraceutical company based on the vision of Dr. Barry Sears, author of the best-selling Zone Diet book - have teamed up to serve as the leading nutraceutical and wellness resource in Portland: the Pirates sponsorship comes as part of the companies larger collaboration.
"Zone Labs is highly respected among top athletes and health professionals, and we are thrilled to complement and enhance our approach to player nutrition with both the science behind Zone Living products and the support of Apothecary by Design," said Robert Frost, athletic trainer for the Portland Pirates.
The sponsorship of the Portland Pirates also extends Zone Diet's nutrition and diet programs to the sports community and continues its growth in the elite performance category. In addition to a partnership with USA Triathlon, earlier this year, Zone Labs launched ZoneCompete.com - an interactive resource featuring instructional videos and health tips, athlete testimonials and high-quality foods and supplements. Zone Labs international sponsorships include the Garmin/Chipotle Pro-Cycling team, Stanford's Mens Swim Team, and a variety of professional and endurance athletes including marathoner Dean Karnazes, triathletes Karen Smyers and Becky Lavelle, and cyclist Christian Vande Velde.
"Proper nutrition and hormonal balance are critical factors for athletes to perform at an optimal level," said Jim Buchanan, chairman and CEO of Zone Labs Inc. "We are excited to support the Portland Pirates with high quality Zone products to help them reach the ultimate goal of an AHL championship."
As a Pirates nutrition and performance sponsor, and the exclusive Portland retailer for Zone Labs, Apothecary by Design also furthers its work in the Portland community as a leader in comprehensive pharmacy services and wellness education.
"As an integrated pharmacy, we endeavor to be a resource in our community for both conventional and complementary therapies," says Catherine Cloudman, Apothecary by Design principal. "We offer very extensive support for nutrition, not only for health and weight loss, but also for enhanced athletic performance. Zone's commitment to clinical support of their high quality products fits perfectly within our model, and we're thrilled to partner together in supporting both the Pirates and our larger Portland community."
