Aevum Life Science Signs National Marketing Agreement For Protiva Pregnancy And Protiva New Mom/Recover With Proven Women’s Healthcare Company ASCEND Therapeutics, Inc.

SHARON HILL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aevum Life Science ™ (PROTIVA®) and ASCEND Therapeutics ® U.S. LLC (ASCEND) have launched an exclusive nationwide sales and marketing partnership for the sale of all Protiva products.

“This opportunity aligns with our dedication to provide high quality health products to improve quality of life for women”

Protiva Pregnancy was developed and specifically formulated to take during pregnancy to help women improve and maintain normal blood serum protein levels, when taken as part of a healthy diet. Protiva Pregnancy was also designed to be complimentary with any prenatal vitamin regimen doctors feel are best for their patients. Protiva New Mom/Recover was developed and designed to help women heal and recover following delivery of a baby and to help improve and maintain blood serum protein levels while breastfeeding, when taken as part of a healthy diet.

Protiva Pregnancy and Protiva New Mom/Recover are the first and only clinically proven protein products designed to be safe and effective when taken during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. The results of a multi-site clinical study of Protiva Pregnancy and Protiva New Mom/Recover were published in the Journal of Pregnancy and Child Health in September of 2016. The published clinical study demonstrated in the third trimester of Pregnancy, 98% of patients, 19-43 years old, living in a health conscious, well educated region in southern CA, presented with blood serum protein levels below normal. 100% of pregnant women who took Protiva Pregnancy were able to improve their blood serum protein levels to normal range. Women who continued to take Protiva New Mom/Recover following delivery and while breastfeeding, demonstrated 72% improvement of protein levels, compared to women who simply followed a healthy diet and counseling alone.

ASCEND has a proven national sales force noted for their vast technical training and product knowledge in delivering high-quality women’s health products to healthcare providers. ASCEND’s specialty sales force maintains successful relationships with a network of prominent OBGYN practices by fostering key relationships centered around providing value to their healthcare partners.

"We are excited about this new partnership,” said Mike Moran, Chairman and CEO of Aevum Life Science. “Following years of development of Protiva products, and the publication of a clinical study, we believe that ASCEND is the perfect partner to help educate doctors and healthcare providers nationally. Women need as much as 50% more protein during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Protiva Pregnancy and Protiva New Mom/Recover are now the first and only products, that doctors and healthcare providers can recommend to patients, that is supported by a published clinical study. We have a strong clinical focus for our products, and ASCEND has a stellar reputation and commitment to education and training of their entire organization.”
