SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Make People Better LLC has landed distribution for its re:iimmune illness recovery formula through Cardinal Health Inc.

An isotonic, oral rehydration formula, re:iimmune provides a dual-action solution to promote rapid recovery from illness and improveme overall intestinal health. Targeting the gut, re:iimmune works by restoring hydration and then supporting the body’s immune system, according to Make People Better.

Re:iimmune is formulated with balancing electrolytes to provide maximum rehydration, a complex of 14 probiotics to support the immune system, a prebiotic to promote growth of good gut bacteria, L-glutamine as a co-transporter for hydration and tissue repair, zinc to promote immunity and ginger to reduce nausea, the company said.

The sugar-free dietary supplement comes in 4.7-oz. packets in all-natural raspberry lemonade flavor. Each box contains 10 packets and carries a suggested retail price of $29.99.

Make People Better said Monday that the new distribution through Cardinal Health supply chain is key because of the growing importance of the role that pharmacists play in educating patients about health, wellness and illness recovery at home. The distributor serves more than 100,000 locations, including retail pharmacies such as Medicine Shoppe and Leader stores.

“As a nurse practitioner, I’ve seen how patients rely on pharmacists for information about medication and recovery,” stated Dr. Kerri Miller, founder of Make People Better.  “My hope is the pharmacists will recommend re:iimmune and together we can help reduce hospital readmission rates, increase medication adherence and help people feel better faster.”
