BlackAtlanta.com Special Ad: Slim4Us - First Dietary Supplement Geared Towards African AmericansHouston, TX (BlackNews.com) - William Parker, Jr. a Houston area African-American pharmacist has developed a new dietary supplement called SLIM4US. "The African-American community
has been neglected by the health care industry," says Mr. Parker.
William Parker, president and founder of FIT4US is starting a drive to CLOSE the GAP in the disparity of health care options. Mr. Parker has been working on the SLIM4US formula, as well as other FIT4US products for over two years.
He comments, "With over five years in retail pharmacy experience, I saw a lot of customers come in with high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity - all preventable. I felt I could do more for their health."
Mr. Parker is currently putting the finishing touches on over twenty-five different products. SLIM4US is the first because obesity is so prevalent and is a contributing factor in many health problems.
Dailyfit, a FIT4US multi-vitamin which compliments the SLIM4US formula, is also available.
SLIM4US and FIT4US are available online at www.SLIM4US.com or by phone at 877-348-4879. It will also be available at several local pharmacies. "I hope to be in the major stores, Wal-mart, Walgreens, CVS and Kroger, in a few months. Corporate America needs to take positive steps to benefit the African-American community in the health care area," said Mr. Parker. www.SLIM4US.com
