EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Aug. 4, 2008) - CV Technologies Inc. (TSX:CVQ) -

Pediatrics - the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics and a prestigious medical journal - has published safety results of a children's randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving COLD-fX®. The trial, designed to measure safety and tolerability, showed COLD-fX is safe for children. It's the first time COLD-fX has been studied for pediatric use. The results are contained in the August, 2008 issue.

The researchers report in Pediatrics that they could find only seven other studies of natural health products (NHPs) for children up to the year 2007. The lack of studies of this nature was described as "especially concerning" given that "current estimates suggest that 41% to 45% of children in Canada and the United States use NHPs". The researchers say that further study is now merited to measure the effectiveness of COLD-fX in treating children with colds and flu.

The Company anticipates launching large-scale clinical studies within the next fiscal year testing for efficacy to further support the use of COLD-fX for treating colds and flu in children.

Seventy-five children between the ages of three and 12 were recruited in Edmonton for the study which was conducted in the winter of 2005-2006. Of the children recruited, 46 developed an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). Within 48 hours of onset, they were randomly assigned to receive acute three-day treatments with either a placebo or COLD-fX (two weight based dosage levels). Both dosage regimens were well tolerated with no significant adverse reactions reported in the study.

The President, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of CV Technologies, Jacqueline Shan PhD, DSc, says, "We are honored to have the trial results on COLD-fX reported in this prestigious journal. Children suffer from colds and flu substantially more often than adults. We hope this trial will be viewed as timely and beneficial research in an area where there is a demonstrated need for safe and effective products to treat colds and flu in children."

The results of this trial came at a time when Health Canada and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the U.S. are reviewing the dosage and efficacy of roughly 700 children's cough and cold remedies currently for sale in both countries, particularly for children under the age of six. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says over 7,000 children under 12 are treated each year in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for adverse drug reactions from cough and cold medications. The COLD-fX study is part of a Company program designed to consider new products and product extensions.

The positive safety results were previously announced by the Company in February of 2008 and have been presented at two major scientific conferences in the UK and Canada.
