CARLSBAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–(Natural Products Expo West, Booth # 1995) – SGN Nutrition, the company dedicated to providing the highest quality nutritional products using the best available all-natural ingredients, today announced the launch of their new Vita System and Vita System ENERGY drinks. Unlike many other drinks and waters supposedly containing healthy ingredients, one serving of Vita System not only tastes great, but contains five times the vitamins and minerals of the closest competitor, with no sugar and thus, no calories.

“We wanted to create a product that tasted unbelievable, and also gave people the nutrition they need,” said Anthony Misner, CEO of SGN Nutrition. “Vita System is the result. It has great nutritional value and does a lot for the health of the body in the face of today’s problems with poor nutrition and obesity. At the same time it is great-tasting and very refreshing; we know from our research that people will not sacrifice taste for nutrition, and with Vita System, people can have both.”

Extensive testing.

Vita System is the result of two years of development and product testing to find just the right balance of nutritional efficacy and outstanding taste. SGN Nutrition worked extensively with the country’s best flavor consultants to produce a product that would be beneficial to health as well as flavorful and refreshing.

Vita System contains fresh, individually sealed vitamins and minerals that have not, like some competitive products, gone through a hot-fill process of 180 degrees, which kills the efficacy of the vitamins. The Vita System Vitamin and Mineral formula includes 100% of essential ingredients for daily adult health such as Vitamins A, C, E, B3, B6, B12, and D3, as well as minerals and nutrients such as Calcium, Magnesium, Chromium, Selenium, Biotin and Molybdenum. The formula also contains healthy amounts of other vitamins and minerals recommended for health, such as Folic Acid, Potassium, Lycopene and Lutein. The fresh and individually-sealed aspect of the vitamins and nutrients in Vita System preserves their efficacy due to their ability to be more efficiently absorbed by the body than those contained in the average multi-vitamin pill. Vitamin pills are often full of fillers to increase their size, contain binders to glue the ingredients together, and are coated with a hard shellac. The top three competitive vitamin pills are composed of up to 60% fillers, binders, coloring, wax, lubricant, and coating, all of which serve no nutritional purpose.

Environmental health, too.

The powdered drink mix, which is offered in a choice of Orange Citrus and Mixed Berry flavors, is sold in individual packs which can be poured into the accompanying reusable 19-ounce bottle and mixed with filtered or tap water. The inclusion of the bottle follows the ideals of SGN Nutrition, which not only strives to develop products that help people be healthier, but also hopes to have an impact on people’s attitudes toward the environment.

“People in the U.S. consume more packaged drinks per capita than any other country,” said Clegg Hubbell, Director of Business Development for SGN Nutrition. “Unfortunately, very few of those containers, be they cans or plastic bottles, make it into a recycling bin. With Vita System, people can buy our powder mix, shake it up in the bottle with some water and they are good to go. With our system, people can use just one bottle per month, as opposed to 30 cans or plastic bottles. We’re helping them develop not only healthier habits for themselves, but also for the environment.”

Vita System is also available as Vita System Vitamin and Mineral ENERGY formula, which, compared to other energy drinks, offers ten times the vitamins and minerals, while still providing an energy boost. Vita System ENERGY also has a pleasant-tasting Orange Citrus or Tropical Berry flavor, and again eschews calories and sugar for fresh vitamins and minerals that are easily absorbed. Vita System Vitamin and Mineral ENERGY formula is also packaged with a reusable bottle.

Vita System Vitamin and Mineral formula will have an average retail cost of $.70 per serving, and Vita System ENERGY formula will have an average retail cost of $.80 per serving. Both prices are very affordable compared to competitive products. The Vita System powdered drink mixes will be showcased at the Natural Products and Expo West to be held in Anaheim, CA March 14-16, 2008.

Using stress relief supplements is an easy, affordable way to combat stress. Supplementation replaces the nutrients we lose during times of stress. These nutrients also help our bodies and minds handle anxiety and tension better and function optimally.

The symptoms that we feel from excess stress can be relieved with stress relief supplements. Depression, fatigue and irritability will be diminished with certain nutrients. Relieving these symptoms will in turn help us to deal with anxiety and tension more efficiently.

How do you choose which stress relief supplements to take? There are literally hundreds of vitamins, minerals, complexes and formulas to choose from. Firstly, start with a good multi-vitamin and mineral formula. You may already be taking one. Secondly, add the following nutritional supplements to help you through stressful times.

· B-Vitamins - These are the stress vitamins. If you take one vitamin supplement for stress, it should be a B-Vitamin Complex. B-Vitamins help maintain mental function, relieves fatigue and depression. Pantothenic Acid, a B-Vitamin, supports adrenal function and removes toxins. Look for formulas with these recommended daily dosages: Vitamin B1-100 mg, Vitamin B2-50 mg, Vitamin B3-150 mg, Vitamin B6-50 mg, Vitamin B12-500 mcg and Vitamin B5 Pantothenic Acid-500 mg.

· Anti-oxidants - Vitamin A, C and E repair the damages caused by stress. Excess stress produces free radicals that attack our cells. Anti-oxidants protect against free radical damage. They also strengthen our immune system so we can fight off stress-related illnesses. Vitamin C combats the systemic inflammation that develops from excess stress and supports adrenal function. These are the recommended daily dosages: · Vitamin A-up to 10,000 I.U., Vitamin C-up to 1,200 mg and Vitamin E-up to 400 I.U.

· Minerals - Calcium and Magnesium are both calming and restorative to the nervous system. They both also relieve depression, anxiety and muscle tension associated with stress. 500 mg of each daily is recommended.

· Other stress relief supplements - Tyrosine and Omega-3 Fatty Acids are also on the list of nutrients to try. These nutrients help us better cope with stress. They strengthen us by relieving depression and improving mental focus. 500 mg of each daily is recommended.

Everyone can benefit from stress relief supplements. Whether our stressors are physical, mental or environmental, these specific nutrients will protect, strengthen and calm you in times of stress.
