Market America Announces Plans to Launch Vitamins for Children with Autism

GREENSBORO, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
Market America announced today that it is in the development and
testing stages of a new line of nutraceutical products that will
support the health of children with autism and related
neurodevelopmental challenges. Specialized laboratory testing often
demonstrates sub-optimal levels of vitamins, minerals, amino acids,
and fatty acids in people with autism, which can be addressed with
nutritional supplements. Despite these findings, Market America found
in its research that parents and health professionals alike are
frustrated with the limited nutritional products available in the
marketplace.

The announcement follows a conference held with prominent doctors
who specialize in areas related to autism at Market America's
Greensboro headquarters. The doctors in attendance were Dr. Emi
Hosada; an Internist in Washington State, Dr. Jim Sensenig; prominent
naturopathic physician and founding president of the American
Association of Naturopathic Physicians, Dr. Susan Beltz; a
neuroscientist and clinical scientist and founder of the Mont Black
Academy in Hook Set, NH which specializes in educating and treating
children with ADHD, Metabolic Disorders and Learning Disabilities, and
Dr. Anne Hines; a family and Defeat Autism Now (DAN) physician in
Winston-Salem, NC.

Market America is working in conjunction with these doctors to
develop a regimen of nutraceutical products that will promote a high
quality of life for those living with autism. "It is simply
mind-blowing and disheartening when you read the statistics about
children afflicted with autism," said Marty Weissman, executive vice
president of Market America. "One out of every 150 children is
diagnosed with autism and 67 new children are diagnosed per day. As a
company founded on science based products, it is time that we use our
expertise to support the health of these children."

The conference was held to identify areas that are lacking in
autism therapy and how Market America could develop products that meet
the special needs of these children. "The consensus among the panel of
experts was that children with autism need nutritional supplementation
that is complete and easy to take," Said Dr. Julian Blumenfeld, Chief
Medical Officer at Market America. "Current products on the market are
not complete and do not enhance patient compliance. With our advanced
Isotonix(R) delivery system we can offer nutritional supplementation
designed for children that is easy to taste and tolerate. Enhancing
compliance is critical for the efficacy of children's supplementation
and will make the parents lives so much easier."
