WEIDER PHENCAL AD CLAIMING SUPPLEMENT "AS EFFECTIVE AS Rx TREATMENTS" for weight control appeared in the Sunday, Sept. 7 issue of The New York Times and in major market newspapers in Southern California in early September. The ad is part of the launch effort for the combination amino acid dietary supplement product.
