DR. SALLY K. NELSON, LIFELINE THERAPEUTICS, INC. SCIENCE COORDINATOR, TO PRESENT AT SUPPLYSIDE EAST INTERNATIONAL TRADE SHOW AND CONFERENCE
DENVER, Colorado– Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB: LFLT), maker of Protandim®, a patent-pending dietary supplement that increases the body's natural antioxidant defenses, today announced Dr. Sally K. Nelson will present relevant research in a poster session at the SupplySide East International Trade Show and Conference, May 1 – 3, 2006.
SupplySide East brings together hundreds of ingredient suppliers and manufacturing service providers. It features a three-day education program, a seminar program, and Science at SupplySide - a display of new product, ingredient and technology research.
Dr. Nelson's presentation will focus on Protandim® as a fundamentally new approach to antioxidant therapy. A recent human study - conducted by the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center - found that Protandim® increases the levels of the antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). The human body depends on its own catalytic antioxidant enzymes SOD and CAT to maintain the proper oxidant-antioxidant balance to support cellular health. Protandim® helps activate the body's ability to produce more of its own antioxidant enzymes, allowing the body to naturally fight the damaging effects of free radicals. Oxidative stress is associated with over 200 diseases, as presented in over a thousand peer-reviewed, published, scientific papers. Examples of areas where oxidative stress appears to play a role, based on these papers, include: heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
"I am excited to share the results of this study at the upcoming SupplySide East International Trade Show," said Dr. Nelson. "The data indicate that we have found a supplement that helps our bodies help themselves in the fight against oxidative stress. Protandim® is clinically shown to lower oxidative stress, and therefore may be a much more effective approach than conventional antioxidant supplements."

About Protandim®
Protandim® is a patent-pending dietary supplement that increases the body's natural antioxidant protection. Oxidative stress (cell damage caused by free radicals) occurs as a person ages or is subjected to stresses such as certain illnesses. TBARS are harmful, reactive substances that indicate the level of oxidative stress in the body. New data from a scientific study in men and women show that after 30 days of taking Protandim®, the level of circulating TBARS decreased an average of 40 percent, and the age-related increase in TBARS was eliminated. Protandim® strengthens a person's defenses against oxidative stress by increasing the body's natural activity of antioxidant enzymes.
