Element Nutritional Sciences Inc. has received purchase orders from Shoppers Drug Mart Inc. to distribute the company's flagship Rejuvenate muscle activator stick packs across 594 Shoppers locations across Canada, representing a 147-per-cent increase in the number of Shoppers stores at which Rejuvenate is available. Shoppers will be taking delivery of both raspberry and citrus flavours of Rejuvenate muscle activator, and doubling the SKU count available in stores. The company expects that Rejuvenate muscle activator will be shipped by the end of September, 2022.

Rejuvenate muscle activator stick packs employ the company's patented amino acid formulation which is proven to increase muscle protein synthesis to 57 per cent (1), an estimated rate of protein synthesis 150 per cent higher than an average whey-based protein powder (2). Shoppers is the first Canadian retailer to distribute Rejuvenate muscle activator.

Shoppers is an independent operating division of Loblaw Companies Ltd. Loblaw Companies is Canada's largest retailer, providing Canadians with grocery, pharmacy, health and beauty, apparel, general merchandise, financial services, and wireless mobile products and services. With more than 2,400 corporate, franchised and associate-owned locations, Loblaw earned over $53-billion in revenue in 2021 (3).
