RBC Life Sciences Supports Clean Energy by Purchasing Renewable Energy Credits
to Offset 100 Percent of Its Electricity Usage

IRVING, Texas, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RBC Life Sciences (OTC
Bulletin Board: RBCL), a global provider of proprietary nutritional
supplements, wound care and pain management products, is offsetting 100
percent of its electricity usage for two years as part of a company-wide green
initiative.

RBC Life Sciences is purchasing 2,561,550 kilowatt hours of renewable energy
credits, which will help to avoid more than 3.4 million pounds of carbon
dioxide pollution. Over a two-year span, this commitment has an impact
comparable to planting more than 14,000 mature trees and avoiding the
pollution associated with driving 3.4 million miles in an average car.

RBC Life Sciences has also embarked on other energy-saving initiatives. The
company uses recycled paper as cushioning in product shipments, new printer
ink technology that will eliminate hundreds of pounds of used printer
cartridges and special lighting and printing technologies that drastically
reduce energy consumption.

"RBC Life Sciences' commitment to sustainable energy meshes well with the
company's focus on providing nutritional supplements and skin care products
that highlight natural ingredients," said company President and CEO John W.
Price. "This company-wide commitment to reduce our carbon footprint is part of
a larger company effort to promote clean energy projects and help America
become less dependent on fossil fuels."

RBC Life Sciences is purchasing the renewable energy credits from Renewable
Choice Energy, a Colorado-based company that works with the nation's
alternative energy sector. Every credit purchased helps fund new renewable
energy projects, such as wind farms.
