Nutrition 21

Leveraging its biotechnology heritage, Nutrition 21 is pioneering an effort to use patented technology, pharmaceutical research and strategic marketing and distribution partnerships to build its position in therapeutic markets. The Company is targeting specific disease states and age related health care concerns through its Chromax®, Diachrome®, Iceland Health®, and Selenomax® brands. The disease states include obesity/pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular health, arthritis, mood disorders, and immune system dysfunction (HIV). Nutrition 21 relies on large scale double blind-placebo controlled clinical trials as a key element of its product development and marketing strategy. The Company’s objective is to translate its scientific findings into trusted brands recognized for their measurable contribution to improving health and reducing cost of care. The Company earns the trust of consumers with endorsements from healthcare professionals and by getting our products adopted as a standard therapy recommended by doctors and health care professionals. Different from most biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, the Company is focused on developing products that are marketed under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) regulatory pathway. The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulations for the supplement category enable companies to bring products to market in less time and with less cost than is required for FDA drug approval. Different from most nutritional supplement companies, clinical substantiation is a requirement for our product development program.
