CEDAR RAPIDS, IA, October 26, 2005 - Embria (TM) Health Sciences, manufacturer of natural ingredients for use in high-quality, human nutritional products, announced exclusive international distribution partnerships with Galena Química e Farmacêutica, Ltda. and Livingstone, Scott (Healthcare) & Co., Ltd. These partnerships mark the first time Embria's eXselen (TM), an organic selenium yeast ingredient, has been available for purchase in South America and the European Union. Galena will distribute eXselen to pharmaceutical and nutraceutical outlets throughout Brazil. Livingstone will exclusively supply manufacturers in Spain and the UK with eXselen, as well as distribute it throughout the European Union.

"It is of the utmost importance to Embria Health Sciences that our international distributors are firmly established and well-respected, and we are confident that Galena and Livingstone will be successful in providing their respective countries' manufacturers with our high-quality selenomethionine supplements," said Embria Health Sciences president, Paul Faganel. "Additionally, we are pleased to announce that Livingstone, Scott
(Healthcare) & Co., Ltd. has been granted derogation from the European Union Food Supplements Directive and is able to commercialize eXselen throughout the European Union."

Selenium supplementation elevates selenium content in muscle tissue, liver tissue and blood serum, which allows the human body full opportunity to receive all potential benefits associated with the mineral. In addition to being an antioxidant that can protect cells from damage from free radicals, selenium has been found necessary for several important biological processes, including immune response and thyroid function.
   
Embria's eXselen is pure, all-natural and fully pasteurized. The selenium yeast growth process used in the manufacturing of eXselen produces high levels of selenomethionine, an organic form of selenium that rapidly metabolizes within the body to yield high bioavailability and retention.
Additionally, beneficial B vitamins and glucans are found in the yeast used in the manufacturing of eXselen.
