The "Friend of NOF" symbol acknowledges corporate citizens whose products and services help consumers in their overall program to improve bone health and prevent osteoporosis. Each one-liter bottle of all-natural Sanfaustino water contains 45% of the RDA for calcium and the calcium in Sanfaustino is as bioavailable, or readily absorbed, as the calcium in milk, dose for dose.
"Any product or service that plays a role in the prevention of osteoporosis also has a responsibility to educate consumers on the serious consequences of this all too devastating disease," noted Al Gever, CEO of Sanfaustino. "Sanfaustino is proud to be a founding partner of this NOF effort fostering greater awareness, understanding and prevention of this largely preventable disease."
The "Friend of NOF...Standing Tall for Strong Bones" symbol will now appear on Sanfaustino's label and point-of-purchase materials. According to NOF, the leading, national nonprofit organization dedicated to creating awareness regarding the detection, prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, more than 44 million Americans age 50 and older either have, or are at risk for osteoporosis.
"Osteoporosis is a major public health threat and one in two women and one in four men age 50 and older will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture in their remaining lifetime. To that end, NOF is delighted to welcome Sanfaustino into the 'Friend of NOF...Standing Tall for Strong Bones' program," said Judith Cranford, Executive Director, NOF.
Sanfaustino is available nationwide at natural foods, gourmet and grocery stores as well as in select doctor's offices.
About Sanfaustino:
