The winners will be announced at the SupplySide West Expo at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas on October 8th, 2014.

"We are extremely honored to have our Martha Stewart Essentials line of nutritional supplements recognized as a finalist for the CPG Multivitamin Editor's Choice Award," said Michael James, CEO of Inergetics.

More than 350 products were nominated for consideration, and five consumer packaged goods products were selected by the SupplySide editorial team for achievements in innovation, market impact and scientific substantiation in categories including: antioxidant supplements, multivitamin, skin care, snacks, specialty supplement/food, sports nutrition and women's health.  

"When we developed this signature line of vitamin supplements we worked very closely with Martha Stewart to incorporate the highest quality whole-food-based ingredients that support the overall health and wellness of women," said Jim Kras, CMO of Inergetics. "This brand has a growing appeal because of Martha Stewart's strong association with quality products that improve women's lives and Inergetics' proven ability to deliver the most effective nutritional supplements on the market."

Over 1,700 of the world's top ingredient suppliers and equipment companies, as well as lab-testing firms, logistics and packaging experts, will attend the 2014 SupplySide West Expo and hear the winner of the CPG Multivitamin Editor's Choice Award announced. SupplySide West has been promoting Martha Stewart Essentials and the other finalists from each category in image galleries across SupplySide, Food Product Design and Natural Products INSIDER media brands during September.

Martha Stewart Essentials supplements were developed by Martha Stewart in collaboration with Inergetics Chief Science Officer, Carl Germano, RD, CNS, CDN, to support the overall health and wellness of women. All of the products in this line have qualified for NSF certification based on their compliance with strict standards and procedures imposed by one of the most respected independent certification organizations in existence today, NSF International.
