From February 2006, SircoTM Blueberry & Apple variety will be stocked in approximately 200 of this supermarket's key premier stores bringing the total UK distribution base for SircoTM to over 500 stores by the end of February 2006. Further to the Company's announcement released on 16 December 2005, SircoTM is now available in 211 Sainsbury's stores and is expected to be available in 100 stores of the second multiple supermarket chain from 23 January 2006. SircoTM is the first heart health product to contain the patented FruitflowTM technology. FruitflowTM was developed by Provexis in order to help regular 'healthy' consumers reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. The natural bioactive works by reducing blood platelet aggregation ('thinning the blood'), a significant contributing factor to a thrombosis (internal blood clot). SircoTM carries the health claim 'Helps to Maintain a Healthy Heart and Benefits Circulation' and is approved by the leading heart health charity, HEART UK. Commenting on the expanded distribution, Dr Stephen Franklin, CEO of Provexis, said: 'We are delighted to have secured a listing with a third major retailer. The distribution base of SircoTM is expanding on schedule and will be sufficiently established to maximise the nationwide, multimedia, advertising campaign which will run throughout the Spring and early Summer'.
