DENVER , Colorado -- Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB: LFLT), maker of Protandim ® , today announced that Dr. Sally Nelson will present a scientific poster at the OCC Congress 2006 in Santa Barbara, California, March 15 - 18, 2006. The congress is the XIIth Annual Meeting of the Oxygen Club of California (OCC) on Oxidants and Antioxidants in Biology.
OCC is a scientific organization dedicated to enhancing interactions and providing meetings and discussion forums worldwide to those interested in free radicals in biological systems, oxidants and antioxidants in biology and medicine, micronutrients, nutrition and health.
Dr. Nelson, recently named the Company's Science Coordinator, is also a co-author of "The induction of human superoxide dismutase and catalase in viv A fundamentally new approach to antioxidant therapy" published in the scientific journal Free Radical Biology & Medicine (Jan. 15, 2006). The human study demonstrated Protandim ® was able to significantly reduce oxidative stress in men and women. Oxidative stress results when the balance between oxidants and antioxidant enzymes is upset. Oxidative stress, which many authorities believe is central to the cellular aging process, increases as we age. Furthermore, there are over a thousand scientific research studies indicating that high oxidative stress is associated with various diseases.

Lifeline Therapeutics is committed to helping people achieve health and wellness for life. For more information, please visit the Protandim® product website at http://www.protandim.com.
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.
