90-day GLP-1-focused pharmacy program places Rejuvenate at the point of care in one of America’s largest grocery and pharmacy networks
BURLINGTON, Ontario – August 24, 2026 — Promino Nutritional Sciences Inc. (CSE: MUSL) (OTC: MUSLF) (FSE: 93X) (“Promino” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Rejuvenate Muscle Health™ Raspberry Burst 14-count will launch in 662 Kroger stores as part of a 90-day pharmacy test focused on consumers using GLP-1 medications for weight management.
Kroger has issued the initial purchase order, with product expected on shelves in participating stores before September 1, 2026. Rejuvenate will be merchandised in dedicated six-unit pharmacy counter displays, highlighting its muscle-health benefits and differentiated nutritional profile. The agreement is material to Promino’s Q3 revenue. The 90-day test results will determine continued listing and customer re-orders.
Rejuvenate Muscle Health™ delivers essential amino acids to support muscle health, maintenance and recovery in a light, easy-to-consume drink. Each serving is plant-based, dairy-free, zero sugar, contains just five calories and includes 1,000 IU of vegan Vitamin D3. The product provides an alternative for consumers seeking muscle and protein nutritional support without the calories, dairy or heavy texture associated with many conventional protein shakes.
Kroger developed the initiative to test products aligned with the nutritional priorities of consumers using GLP-1 medications for weight management, including support for maintaining lean muscle, and selected Rejuvenate Muscle Health™ as one of the products for evaluation.
“This Kroger program puts Rejuvenate directly in front of GLP-1 consumers at a highly relevant point of purchase,” said Janice Day, Chief Sales Officer of Promino. “It is an important step in expanding our U.S. retail footprint and our muscle-health positioning.”
The program supports Promino’s broader strategy to build Rejuvenate across the weight management, healthy aging and everyday muscle-health markets while expanding U.S. retail distribution.
