TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – May 26, 2016) – BioSyent Inc. (“BioSyent”) (TSX VENTURE:RX) is pleased to announce that its FeraMAX® brand was recently named as the #1 recommended over-the-counter (“OTC”) iron supplement brand in a national survey of Canadian physicians and pharmacists.
The survey was conducted by Rogers Connect™ Market Research group and the following publications within the Rogers Healthcare Group: Pharmacy Practice+, The Medical Post, and Profession Santé. This was the first time that the iron supplement category was included in this annual survey which was conducted between July and October 2015 with Canadian physicians and retail pharmacists. In total, over 3,141 surveys were completed. FeraMAX® was named by 31% of physicians surveyed and 33% of pharmacists surveyed as their most recommended iron supplement brand to Canadian patients.
FeraMAX® has established a unique position in the market by providing patients with an iron supplement with less gastrointestinal side effects and easy once a day dosing. FeraMAX® has continued to solidify its leadership position with market-focused line extensions. FeraMAX® Powder was launched for pediatric patients to help prevent iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. In addition, FeraMAX® Vegan Certified capsules were introduced this year, which provide the only certified iron therapy option for vegans, vegetarians, and patients with other dietary restrictions.
“We are very pleased with the #1 recommendation for FeraMAX® in the respected Rogers Healthcare Group survey” commented Mr. René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent. “The innovative polysaccharide-iron complex of FeraMAX® has allowed BioSyent to differentiate itself from the competitors, and we are pleased that physicians and pharmacists have recognized the unique benefits FeraMAX® offers to patients, including improved safety, tolerability, and convenience.”
