Nutramax Labs signs professional surfer Bethany Hamilton as brand ambassador for Cosamin line

 

EDGEWOOD, Md. — Nutramax Labs on Tuesday signed professional surfer Bethany Hamilton as a brand ambassador for its Cosamin line of joint health products. A commercial featuring Hamilton will begin airing Sept. 15.

 

“Like many sports, professional surfing can take a toll on your joints. I'm taking Cosamin now to promote healthy joints,” Hamilton said. “I'm happy to be working with Nutramax Laboratories — Cosamin is a great supplement, and my values align well with those of Nutramax Laboratories.”

 

“Bethany is a young, professional athlete who is taking steps to help support her joint health well into the future,” said Troy Henderson, president and CEO of Nutramax Labs consumer care. “Bethany is a perfect choice as a Cosamin brand ambassador, and we are blessed to have her on our team.”

 

Hamilton has become a source of inspiration to millions through her story of faith, determination and hope. At the age of thirteen — on Oct, 31, 2003

— Hamilton was attacked by a 14-ft. tiger shark while surfing off Kauai’s North Shore. The attack left Hamilton with a severed left arm. 

 

Just one month after the attack, Hamilton returned to the water to continue pursuing her goal to become a professional surfer. In October 2004, Hamilton shared her life story in her autobiography entitled "Soul Surfer." Seven years later, the book was made into a major motion picture bearing the same title, which was released in 2011.
