COLUMBUS, OH. -- (MARKET WIRE) -- July 19, 2006 -- If you are looking for Pat Robertson's weight
loss secrets, you'll find it at The Vitamin Shoppe starting this month.
The Vitamin Shoppe now has national distribution of Robertson's popular
shake called, Pat's Diet Shake. It is available in two flavors, double
chocolate and creamy vanilla for $18.99 (Vitamin Shoppe value price). The
shake includes four different protein sources including Solae soy and whey
protein, and 35 percent of the RDA of vitamins and minerals.
Basic Organics launched the pre-mix formula of Robertson's personalized
diet shake recipe late last year. Over a million viewers of "The 700 Club"
took Robertson's challenge to lose weight by following his exercise and
nutrition program, which includes drinking his protein shake. The pre-mix
formula makes it easier and more convenient for those who want to follow
his weight loss plan.
"The requests we have received from customers for Pat's Diet Shake have
been overwhelming," says Jeff Baitinger, The Vitamin Shoppe manager of

rushed to get it in our store."

quality nutrition product that will add value to their customers' needs and
the diet industry.
Robertson's nutrition plan is based on a unique calorie controlled diet
