Patented Calcium D-Glucarate Featured in FLEX Magazine

AUSTIN, Texas--(BW HealthWire)--Jan. 14, 2002--Applied Food Sciences Inc. (AFS(TM)) announced the review of its patented Calcium D-Glucarate (CDG(TM)) in FLEX magazine, the preeminent source of information on diet and training for building muscle mass and strength.

The article, "The Toxic Avenger" was featured in Dr. Jim Wright's column, "The Wright Stuff" in the February 2002 issue of FLEX magazine. The article focused on the following attributes of CDG:

• CDG is a detoxifying supplement that can help enhance metabolism, recovery and growth.
• CDG is naturally found in fruits and vegetables with the highest amounts in apples, grapefruits and broccoli.
• Supplementing with CDG is important to bodybuilders because it significantly boosts the body's capacity to eliminate toxins and waste products and improves androgen/estrogen balance.

"We are very pleased that after review of our extensive research on CDG, Dr. Wright recognizes the benefit that this product has in the practice of bodybuilding. The fact that CDG helps the body eliminate toxins as well as maintain hormone balance is very significant to people interested in this area of fitness," said Loretta Zapp, CEO of AFS.

"The response to the article has been enormous. We are glad to see one of the most educated segments of our industry endorse our product. We expect this article to heighten the awareness of CDG's benefits in the sports nutrition market," noted Lyndon Johnson, vice president of sales and marketing for AFS.
