SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwire - November 6, 2007) - Health Enhancement Products, Inc. (OTCBB : HEPI ) announced today that they have received the second, independent test
results of the clinical lot of ProAlgaZyme that was used in the recently
suspended clinical trial. This test was designed to detect potential
degradation of the active protein components in ProAlgaZyme. Dr. Michael
Tempesta, Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board stated: This second
round of tests further confirms our belief that the key protein-based
components of ProAlgaZyme are sensitive to freezing, and that the original
clinical ProAlgaZyme product lot was degraded during shipment to Minnesota
during last winter. As stated in our earlier announcement, all bottles
will now be marked "Do not Freeze."
