Ultra, a weight loss supplement which is geared primarily towards men who lift weights and do cardiovascular exercises, have been a big success. Therefore the company wishes to replicate this success by formulating the Ultra pills to target other segments of the workout population. UltraMAX, a new product, is geared toward women who also lift weights and do cardiovascular exercises.
