Arbonne Introduces PhytoSport Sports Nutrition

Press Release | 4/22/2015

Arbonne’s three-step PhytoSport system is based on science with natural, botanical ingredients that deliver results fueled by nature. PhytoSport includes three key products to help prepare for physical exertion (Prepare & Endure), then replace electrolytes (Complete Hydration) and recover (After Workout). PhytoSport products are built to help achieve peak performance in sports and casual exercise.

“Every aspect of our lives is physical, to some degree,” says Michael D’Arminio, Arbonne Sr. VP & Chief Creative Officer. “When you think about supporting your active lifestyle – from a brief morning jog to an intensive weekend workout – your body needs nutrition for fuel, hydration and recovery. That is why we developed PhytoSport, Arbonne’s first sports nutrition line, so you can train with the ultimate workout partner, anytime and anywhere, and achieve peak performance,” says D’Arminio.

Key Product Highlights:

1. Prepare & Endure is an orange-pineapple flavored supplement, providing simple carbohydrates that can be readily converted into functional energy to sustain intensity and exertion for activity.*

2. Complete Hydration contains a blend of six electrolytes to support optimal hydration as well as levels of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium that may be lost while sweating through physical exertion.*

3. After Workout helps alleviate exercise-induced muscle soreness and fatigue and restores energy and supports muscle growth and recovery while helping supporting recovery between workouts.*

All three PhytoSport products contain the proprietary Arbonne PhytoSport Blend of botanicals to support every workout, every time. The blend consists of: Cayenne to support circulation; ginseng to support physical capacity and performance; and turmeric to support joints and delivers antioxidant protection.

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Arbonne PhytoSport products are vegan and formulated without gluten. None of the PhytoSport products contain ingredients typically found in competitive lines, which some may be sensitive to, such as whey, caffeine and soy.

Arbonne Recalls Seasource Detox Spa Foaming Sea Salt Scrub

Npros.com | 9/13/2009

This voluntary recall was initiated by Arbonne as a result of discovering the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in the recalled lot. No other lots are affected. The organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa may cause dermatitis, soft tissue infections, bacteremia, and a variety of system infections, particularly with users who are immunosuppressed. Because the Foaming Sea Salt Scrub is used to exfoliate the skin’s surface, there is a possibility that inadvertent introduction of the tainted product directly into any skin abrasions could result in infection.

Arbonne International in the Tribune

The Tribune | 5/28/2008

...Health and wellness are two of the fastest growing businesses in the economy today. Magazine, TV ads and now reality programs show how to get a nip and tuck, a chemical peel and how BOTOX can make a person look years younger. Why the attention on how to look and feel better all of a sudden? The answer is very simple – Baby Boomers. The Baby Boomers are aging and want to look and feel better, and are willing to pay for it and even sometimes endure radical procedures to make it happen.

But there is an alternative, a health and wellness company that is quietly slipping into the homes in America and is addressing these issues in a pure, safe and beneficial way. That company is Arbonne International Inc. This 28-year-old company was founded on the basis of promoting health and wellness through the most pure and positive methods using cutting-edge technology. Since the launch of their incredible NutriminC RE9 anti-aging line in 2003 and most recently the new SeaSource Detox Body System, the company has experienced exponential growth. They have six product lines that are all strategically placed within the health and wellness industry and they are delivered through a business model that is also exploding across the country right now. That is network marketing. People are tired of going to the mall or grocery store and buying products that they know little about. Network marketing allows consumers to receive personal attention from trained consultants who can educate them in any of the six product lines that Arbonne features...

Arbonne in the Dallas Morning News

Dallas Morning News | 4/20/2008

That led to a conversation about the chocolate Weight Loss Chews. Yep, I knew my friend Angela was a rep for the Arbonne skin care line (I've picked up a bottle or two of the "all-natural" shaving cream in the past), but turns out the Swiss-based company also has a weight loss line.

There are the usual nutritional supplements and even a "contouring cellulite cream" and anti-fat scrub (my words, and I'll take two by the way), but I was most intrigued by the chews.

"The official arrival of Arbonne in Canada stems from the growing demand for the company's high quality products by Canadian consumers," explained Stuart A. MacMillan, Managing Director of Arbonne International Canada. Arbonne's success in the United States has naturally crossed the border over the last few months and, as a result, we already have more than 40,000 Canadian Independent Consultants, primarily in the western region of the country. Our objective in the coming year is to expand our activities across the nation," explained Mr. MacMillan. "This deployment will be done in phases and should be completed by the end of 2007."
