Natrol’s Newest Probiotic Supplement Offers Clinically Validated Probiotic Strains With 50 Billion Live Cultures* For Digestive And Immune Support †

CHATSWORTH, Calif., March 31, 2009 — With spring break, Easter and Passover approaching, many consumers plan to travel and enjoy holiday feasts. However, adjusting to new time zones and eating new foods can wreak havoc on the digestion system and immunity.

Natrol, Inc. -- a premier marketer, manufacturer, and distributor of nationally branded nutritional products -- offers consumers the ultimate in digestive support with new Natrol® Probiotic Intestinal-Maximum Care, which helps protect the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and supports gut immune defense mechanisms. The supplement supports healthy immunity, digestion, food absorption, and elimination.†

Natrol® Probiotic Intestinal-Maximum Care features IntestiBiotic™, a proprietary blend of four clinically validated probiotic strains to help reduce oxidative stress and promote cellular health within the digestive tract. The product also contains 50 Billion Live Cultures* -- 14 times the live cultures of yogurt** -- for intensive digestive and immune support. The easy-to-swallow capsules should be taken once daily with meals (average U.S. SRP is $16.99 for a 10-capsule package).†

“Spring travel and holidays can be stressful on the mind and body and Natrol® Probiotic Intestinal-Maximum Care allows consumers to enjoy holiday meals without worry of digestive upset, and it helps immune support, which is needed during times of stress,” says Dr. Michael T. Yatcilla, Natrol’s Vice President of Research and Development. He continues, “With clinically validated probiotic strains, Natrol® Probiotic Intestinal-Maximum Care is a great solution for consumers, particularly seniors, menopausal women, and people with digestive sensitivities.”†

Natrol® Probiotic Intestinal-Maximum Care joins Natrol’s successful line of probiotic products for those looking for everyday digestion help. Natrol’s other probiotic supplements include the following:

• Natrol® Probiotic Acidophilus BioBeads® can aid the digestive system by fueling the body with a regular, concentrated source of beneficial bacteria to help maintain a healthy digestive tract. The supplement also helps ease occasional stomach discomfort associated with travel (average U.S. SRP is $15.99 for 30 beads, $41.99 for 90 beads);†

• Natrol® Acidophilus Probiotic is a special blend of probiotics that help support digestive health and immunity, improve lactose intolerance, and achieve a balanced digestive system, thus easing occasional stomach discomfort (average U.S. SRP is $9.29 for 100 capsules);†
• Natrol® Digest Support helps digest protein, fats, and carbohydrates by providing additional enzyme support to maintain a healthy digestive system. The supplement is particularly helpful for seniors and consumers whose diets lack raw, whole, enzyme-rich foods (average U.S. SRP is $12.49 for 60 capsules); and,†
• Natrol® Papaya Enzyme can help relieve occasional indigestion naturally in instances when consumers may overeat, and is the perfect supplement to be taken after a meal to help maintain a healthy digestive tract. The special blend of digestive enzymes, in a tropical flavored chewable tablet, helps with the digestion of proteins and carbohydrates in the body (average U.S. SRP is $6.49 for 100 capsules).†
