ISI Brands Teams With The Vitamin Shoppe to Debut Dr. Alan Greene Nutritional Supplement Line

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 12, 2008) - ISI Brands, Inc./Twinlab® and renowned pediatrician Dr. Alan Greene have teamed with leading national health retailer The Vitamin Shoppe for the retail launch of Twinlab DrGreene™ line of nutritional supplements, it was announced today by Mark Fox, President, ISI Brands/Twinlab and Tony Truesdale, President of The Vitamin Shoppe.

The Vitamin Shoppe will debut the Dr. Greene nutritional supplement product line in mid-August, 2008 and will be celebrated with launch events in Vitamin Shoppe stores in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles. The products will be available exclusively in the more than 360 Vitamin Shoppe stores across the U.S. as well as on-line at vitaminshoppe.com during August, before expanding to other retail outlets.

Taking a completely new approach to the marketplace, the DrGreene™ system of supplements support the nutritional requirements of pre-expectant and pregnant women, nursing mothers, toddlers and growing children, creating a strong foundation for a lifetime of health.

For the pregnant woman, Twinlab's ® DrGreene™ product line provides the nutrients needed to optimize health during this stressful time on her body. For toddlers and growing children, the DrGreene™ supplements provide all the recommended and important nutrients they need to develop, grow strong, and maintain an active life -- including life'sDHA™, a vegetarian DHA found in the Toddler Drops which has been shown to support brain and eye development.

"Children are overfed and undernourished," observes Dr. Greene, the nationally renowned pediatrician. "Children may be eating more, but in many cases they're not getting the nutrition they need. The supplements we've developed help mothers give the gift of a nutritional head start to their children by providing the right nutrients at the right time -- whether its during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or beyond, as the baby grows and develops past infancy and through childhood," said Dr. Greene.

The Twinlab® DrGreene™ line is unique in that it is designed to be used even before the time when a woman might conceive, through pregnancy and lactation, toddler and childhood. "The earlier a woman of childbearing age starts supplementation with our prenatal products, the better," remarks Dr. Greene. "The mother is carrying the eggs that will become her child, even when she herself is born, so in this respect caring nutritionally for the baby-to-be starts much earlier than most people realize."

The system is comprised initially of six products:
