Vivakor Announces Completion of Pilot Product Evaluation of Nutraceutical Product with Consumer Product Specialist, Regeneca International, Inc.

CORALVILLE, Iowa--(Business Wire)--
Vivakor, Inc. (OTCBB: VIVK) today announced it has completed a pilot product
evaluation program with consumer product specialist, Regeneca International,
Inc. (www.regeneca.com). The product evaluation involved Vivakor`s proprietary
nutraceutical formulation derived from natural sources. Research has shown that
phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, all present in fruits and
vegetables, work synergistically to promote health and lower disease risk. For
this reason, many organizations, such as the National Cancer Institute and The
American Heart Association, recommend getting phytochemicals from whole foods,
such as fruits and vegetables. The Vivakor product is a whole food supplement
designed to deliver these essential nutrients to the users in small, single dose
units.

Regeneca`s President, Larry Walter gave his thoughts on the study. "Not only are
the consumer study results impressive, but the overall opportunity to work with
the team of professionals at Vivakor gives us a great deal of optimism for our
future dealings with the company."

The parties plan additional studies with the hope of a market ready product by
early 2010.
