FocalHealth™ LLC Wins Ingenuity Award at Kansas State University's Ingenuity Central Event

SHAWNEE, Kan. - April 14, 2015 - PRLog -- FocalHealth^™ LLC was honored on April 9 as a 2015 Ingenuity Award winner by Kansas State University.  The prestigious award, presented at the Ingenuity Central Event on K-State’s Olathe campus, was part of an event sponsored by KSU used to showcase the most innovative companies in the region.

With the help of community leaders and area chambers of commerce, the university identified the top 200 innovative companies in the area and whittled down the list to 22 companies.  The 22 companies come from a diverse mix of industries and range in size. Companies include Garmin Ltd., Black & Veatch, DuPont, Bio-Microbics, Google Fiber and FocalHealth^™, to name a few.

“We are very pleased to have been recognized as an innovative leader by K-State,” said G.P. Georges, the owner of FocalHealth^™.  “We have worked hard to think outside the box in order to create a ‘better mousetrap’ in the calcium and fish oil dietary supplement markets.  We are humbled to be mentioned with some of the great companies who share the 2015 Ingenuity Award with us. With that said, it is rewarding to know that great new ideas are alive and well here in the Midwest”, continued Georges.

FocalHealth^™’s FormiCal^® is a new patented calcium supplement that uses calcium formate to provide calcium that is three times better absorbed than the leading calcium supplements on the market today.  In addition to the Calcium + Vitamin D3 product (FormiCal® Bone Health), FocalHealth^™ has created an innovative supplement that merges calcium and D3 with fish oil (Omega 3) in one Softgel (FormiCal® Bone & Heart).  It is the only product on the market where you can get calcium and omega-3 (DHA & EPA) in one Softgel.


FocalHealth^™ did not end its innovative nature at the product level – its marketing strategy is also unique in that it is being marketed strictly online (www.formical.com) to make it one of the most convenient and economical methods of purchasing dietary supplements.  The innovative website includes a calcium calculator, which is an interactive device that will help the consumer determine how much calcium they receive from their diet compared to the recommended amount based on the consumer’s gender and age.  In addition, the website, using the website’s Learning Center, does a great job of educating the consumer on the fundamental needs of the body for calcium, omega-3’s, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins D3 and K2 .

“Our innovation at the product level is exciting, as is our effort to educate consumers so that they are not taking too much of a particular supplement,” said Georges.  “Plus our convenient online store makes it easy and economical (free shipping on all products) for our customers to purchase their dietary supplements from the comfort of their home or the convenience of their smart phone. We truly have created a new mousetrap.”
