H57 Hoodia President and CEO Kelly Lockwood Appears On CNBC's "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch"

Nutley, NJ (PRWeb) February 16, 2007 -- JEC Nutrition President and CEO Kelly Lockwood appeared on CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch tonight, the show aired nationally at 10:00pm ET.

JEC Nutrition is the manufacturer of H57 Hoodia, the world's only 100% South African Hoodia diet supplement and I57 Ignite containing the Brazilian component Cha' De Bugre.

Lockwood and Deutsch discussed many different topics on the show. On how H57 Hoodia works, Lockwood stated, "it's not a magic pill, our product suppresses your appetite…." He went on to say, "…we've given people a tool to lose weight, how they use it is up to them."

Deutsch questioned Lockwood's claim that H57 Hoodia is the only 100% authentic South African Hoodia product on the market, joking "…I'm from Missouri, Show me." To which Lockwood replied, "…there is one major exporter of Hoodia in South Africa and for the past 6 months, my company has bought all of the available South African Hoodia from them, so authentic South African Hoodia has simply not been available for anyone else to use in their products." This now confirms that the use of authentic South African Hoodia from other Hoodia supplement companies are false and misleading. Their products do not contain authentic South African Hoodia.

During a break, Lockwood conveyed to Deutsch his many philanthropic initiatives, from supporting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to H57 Hoodia's dedication to his home state of New Jersey. H57 Hoodia announced on the show that they would be providing a full football scholarship to a New Jersey High School Athlete to play football at famed Rutgers University, a first for any New Jersey corporation. Lockwood plans other sponsorships and events that make a difference in our communities and is constantly looking for new charities.
