Field Associates Step-Up to Corporate Product Contribution of $1 Million

Las Vegas, NV -- August 29, 2006 – Univera LifeSciences, the world’s leading healthy- aging relationship marketing company, celebrated its 7th annual convention in Las Vegas this past weekend with three significant announcements.
 
Univera Charitable Effort Launched
Affirming its business model focus on world class products combined with community service, the company announced the launch of Univera Serve First, a non-profit charity dedicated to eradicating malnutrition in America. The charity’s first program, seeded with $1 million of product contribution from Univera, and matched by over $91,000 in cash raised at convention from Univera Associates, is delivering Ageless Essentials™ – a nutritional meal-replacement drink - to impoverished elementary school children in rural Mississippi. The program is administered by Vitamin Angels, a non-profit, non-sectarian organization created in 1994 to fight malnutrition around the world.
 
"Univera is dedicated to bringing the best of nature to mankind,” said Stuart Ochiltree, CEO. “The establishment of Serve First demonstrates our field/corporate partnership to ensure that those in our own backyard who are impoverished are not forgotten. We are committed to providing them with the opportunity for better health, which is fundamental to development.” Ochiltree referenced studies that have shown children’s performance in school, academically as well as behaviorally, is better when their nutritional intake is improved.
 
 “Vitamin Angels, supported by companies like Univera LifeSciences and Johnson & Johnson, has been delivering critical nutrients to children in countries around the globe,” said President, Howard Schiffer. “This program with Univera Serve First marks a significant effort in the United States where, according to the US Census Bureau, more than 13.8 million children live in ‘food insecure homes’ and are going hungry on a regular basis.”

Unifying Company Name Change Announced
The convention also marked the formal announcement for the company’s name change from Oasis LifeSciences to Univera LifeSciences. Combined with Univera’s sister company in Korea (formerly Nam Yang Aloe), Univera’s global business represents combined annual revenues of over $250 million.  The global integration gives Univera LifeSciences; one of today’s fastest growing relationship marketing companies in the United States and the largest focused upon healthy aging, a pivotal advantage in the billion-dollar global health and nutrition market.

New Product Delivers Health Benefits
The convention also  saw the launch of  Razberry-flavored RegeniCARE®, an advanced all-natural formulation of ingredients that can help restore normal cell and tissue function, thus promoting healthy connective tissue and improving joint mobility and ease of motion. RegeniCARE® contains ProtectinTM, a patented herbal complex that promotes joint health by working in synergy with proven natural joint-health ingredients. These include Glucosamine sulfate, Chondroitin sulfate, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), CMO (cetyl myristoleate), and Vitamin C.
