June 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Minneapolis—Fitness Formulary recently announced that it has been selected as a division semi-finalist in the Minnesota Cup competition. The Minnesota Cup is an annual competition that seeks to support and accelerate the development of the best breakthrough ideas from across Minnesota. Fitness Formulary was selected as a semi-finalist in the bioscience and health IT division from over 1,000 total entries across six divisions. In August, the 49 semi-finalists selected will be narrowed down to three finalists in each division, with an overall winner announced on September 6.

Fitness Formulary is an online retailer offering medically authoritative recommendations for vitamins, minerals, supplements, organic and natural foods and fitness accessories. Fitness Formulary’s primary differentiator is that it provides consumers with education, knowledge and recommendations about products based on personal fitness goals and/or medical conditions. They do this through the use of a patent-pending recommendation engine, vetted by a panel of physicians and experts in nutrition, health, fitness and sports medicine.

The company leverages relationships between consumers and their health/fitness clubs or universities through revenue sharing. Essentially, Fitness Formulary becomes a way for health/fitness clubs or universities to offer members a full range of health products backed by science and knowledge, while allowing the club or university to share in the revenues generated. The unique revenue sharing process is achieved through the use of a patented software.

"We are thrilled to be named a division semi-finalist in this year's Minnesota Cup," said Fitness Formulary Founder and CEO, Adam Southam. "With so much innovation right here in Minnesota, it is an honor to be among the top 49 ideas selected."
