Cardiovascular Sciences, Inc. Pursues Agreement With Garden State Nutritionals

ORLANDO, FL , a client company of the award-winning University of Florida Technology Incubator program and their recently announced partner, Medical Technologies Home Enterprises, Inc., are enthused to announce plans to pursue an agreement with Garden State Nutritionals of West Caldwell, NJ. The Company will negotiate for the manufacture, testing and packaging of a revised line of health promotion supplements with a tie-in to some of the Company's other interests.

John Martin, recently appointed to the Company's board of directors, has previously worked with Garden State to produce a very successful line of supplements that proved effective in the programs of Weight Loss Forever International, Inc. of which Mr. Martin was the founder and president. "It's exciting to develop a new offering of effective nutritionals and supplements with a company the quality and size of Garden State," exclaimed Mr. Martin following a pivotal meeting last week in Orlando.

Garden State Nutritionals is a division of Vitaquest International and the world's leading custom manufacturer of nutritional products. GSN has been under continuous family management for more than 30 years and boasts one of the world's largest and most compliant manufacturing and testing facilities for nutritional products. Long standing relationships with many of this industry's most well established and highly regarded names demonstrate evidence of the company's commitment to purity, quality and service. Drawing upon a palette of more than 1200 quality controlled ingredients, Garden State Nutritionals produces more than 2000 new products annually.

"We are pleased to have chosen Garden State for the production of our private label line of health promotion and protection products," states the Company's CEO, Dr. Larry Hooper. He goes on to explain that, "With their state-of-the-art technologies and equipment, Garden State is able to bring the same level of quality, regardless of the size of the batch. In addition, Garden State is fully GMP compliant and has been awarded the National Nutritional Foods Association coveted GMP 'A rating.'"

Arrangements have been made for representatives of Cardiovascular Sciences, Inc. to travel to the corporate and manufacturing facilities of Garden State Nutritionals in New Jersey next week. The goal of the intended meetings will be to finalize the formulations and line-ups of the Company's private label offerings and negotiate for the manufacture and packaging of the supplements.
