St. Charles, MO—November 30, 2011—Sure, it’s a fast-paced world, but barrel racers still seem to go five times faster than the rest of us.

They take it seriously: from how they manufacture their products and design their work space to how they treat customers. “For 20 years, Novus has been driven by a vision of a sustainable world,” said David Neuwirth, Executive Director of Novus Nutrition Brands, in the June 2011 Novus Innovation with Integrity annual report. “This vision remains acutely relevant in today’s world.

She was my first Advanced division horse.” Barb and Eveready’s final score (0/32.40) put them ahead of close contenders Buck Davidson and Ballynoecastle RM (0/32.80), and Doug Payne on Running Order (1/34.80).

NEM® (Natural Eggshell Membrane), an ESM Technologies produced ingredient utilized within the Arenus STEADFAST® Equine and Canine products, was recently awarded the 2011 Frost and Sullivan North American Dietary Supplements for Joint Health New Product Innovation of the Year Award. Winners of this prestigious award are chosen based on the innovative element of the product, leveraging leading-edge technologies, value-added features and benefits, increased customer return on investment, as well as customer acquisition and penetration potential. NEM® has a competitive advantage over other joint health products due to its small dosage and rapid effect.

If rescue horses could talk, what stories might they tell? Amid such forlorn herds are often forgotten champions once unbeatable in the ring but no match against infirmity or misfortune. At ReHorse Rescue Ranch in Jamestown, California, director and self-appointed “Barn Mom” Raquelle Van Vleck makes sure every horse that crosses her threshold gets the blue ribbon care they deserve. Part of her winning recipe during their recovery has been supplementing with ASSURE® by Arenus. In a heart-felt personal letter to Arenus, Van Vleck said: “We have forty-five horses at ReHorse Rescue Ranch, and in the last year, have taken in twenty-one emaciated or severely underweight horses. Reintroducing these equines to feed is a delicate process. They can be very prone to colic during rehabilitation. Any owner that has experienced colic knows how horrible it is and how helpless we feel to provide relief or, even worse, to see a horse die or have to make that dreaded decision.”

STEADFAST® Canine, made by Arenus, contains the unique ingredient NEM® (Natural Eggshell Membrane), which recently won the Frost & Sullivan 2011 North American Dietary Supplements for Joint Health New Product Innovation of the Year Award. The honor was given to ESM Technologies, makers of NEM, based upon several criteria, including the innovative nature of the product and its unique benefits not found in other products. STEADFAST Canine is a unique formula for dogs specifically designed to support normal mobility and ease joint discomfort associated with everyday activity
