Eugene Science Announces CholZero(TM) Seaweed Gains National Retail Market Launch in Korea

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Eugene Science, Inc., (OTC BB: EUSI) a developer and marketer of advanced nutraceutical products, today announced that Yongjinnara Co., a leading South Korean seaweed company, is launching a national marketing campaign for its cholesterol-lowering premium seaweed featuring Eugene Science's CholZero™ active ingredient.

Founded in 1982, Yongjinnara Co., Ltd. is a leading Korean manufacturer and distributor of premium seaweed products sold throughout Korea and exported to Japan and Southeast Asia. Eugene Science supplies its CholZero™ cholesterol-lowering cooking oil to Yongjinnara, which then incorporates it into its CholZero™ Seaweed product. This CholZero™ Seaweed has been sold exclusively at Korean airport duty-free shops for three years.

With CholZero™ Seaweed's popularity and sales growing, Yongjinnara is now launching a marketing campaign to support nationwide retail and wholesale distribution. Eugene Science will sell Yongjinnara additional CholZero™ oil to enable it to supply CholZero™ Seaweed to retailers including Korea's largest organic food franchise, Chorawkmaeul, which sells over 820 locally produced organic foods at more than 200 retail stores nationwide. With a population of 48 million people, South Korea offers a solid economy and sophisticated consumer marketplace.

"The Yongjinnara seaweed campaign will increase awareness that consumers have new choices available today for foods with advanced nutraceutical properties that promote better health," said Mr. Seung Kwon Noh, Chief Executive Officer, Eugene Science. "We expect CholZero™'s enhanced visibility will build brand value, in both the food and dietary supplement marketplace, while stimulating consumer demand for other cholesterol-lowering products in Southeast Asia and elsewhere."

CholZero™ seaweed is made from select Korean seaweed grown naturally on the seabed floor, and contains the Eugene Science serum LDL cholesterol-lowering ingredient CZ™ to produce a premium, nutritionally functional food. Yongjinnara licenses the CholZero™ trade name from Eugene Science for its seaweed product.
