Company officials said on Tuesday. The nutraceutical giant revealed that their launch into China will include a $15 million public awareness campaign that will focus on both infomercial and print advertising efforts to coincide with the retail sales of the product.

Over 200 million are overweight and approximately 60 million are obese. According to Roger Halberstram, VP of Marketing for Astor Ridge Nutrition,
