Heck I gave my mother in one of those assisted living facility and they serve under Federal guidelines a very well balanced meal schedule. She drank the Performance Punch after dinner last night and while all the rest of the old people were being wheeled back to their rooms, she was up playing the piano, dancing, a short ZUMBA class and she wanted to play poker all night. TODAY, she is the talk of the Assisted Living facility! Looks like they may buy all 1000 cases they were so impressed!

Nutritional deficiency is now the norm. There are many places, particularly in the inner city where you can only get processed foods. Nutritious, whole foods simply are not available for the masses. Eating a well-balanced diet takes time, planning and resources that many do not have. I'm not referring to money, but the physical effort required. The elderly in particular are looking for convenience.

While I agree that a wholesome diet would be preferred, if this were even reasonably practical our society wouldn't be suffering from pandemics of obesity, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Vitamin D deficiency, etc...

HPB's sugar-free Performance Punch nutritional supplement beverage, with electrolytes, vitamins, and amino acids will help many simply because they've made this nutrition easily *accessible*...
