Joshua Tree, dba Nutritionary, Announces the Release of Three Weight Loss Products

CANFIELD, Ohio, Mar 25, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Joshua Tree (OTCBB:JSHT) dba Nutritionary, Inc. announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, American Health & Diet Centers ("AHDC"), has released three new weight loss products and the upcoming release of additional complementary products in time for the spring and summer diet seasons.

Most recently launched are three weight loss products specifically designed according to body shape and size. For those who tend to gain weight in the upper body, American Health & Diet Centers has released Aprinex(TM), which is designed to help increase fat sensitivity to the nervous system. It supports reducing the build up of fat in the upper body while helping increase the wasting of fat stores while increasing the body's metabolism. In addition, Aprinex(TM) helps reduce the amount of free fatty acids in the blood so that less fat is absorbed.

If weight gain is all in the lower body creating a pear-like shape and weight loss tends to be in the upper body, AHDC has formulated Luprinex(TM). Studies have shown that lower body fat is affected by estrogen. Fat cells affected by estrogen tend to absorb more fat and release less fat than those not affected by estrogen, therefore holding more fat in unwanted lower body fat.

Luprinex(TM) was designed to prevent estrogen from affecting lower body fat cells so that more lower body weight can be burned. It also helps to increase the fat's sensitivity to the nervous system so that more fat is burned.

For those who need to lose 20 pounds or more, Glutarex(TM) may be the answer. Studies have shown that once the body has gained a certain level of fat, it stores fat faster and does not respond to the body's signals to burn fat. And, to make matters worse, the body's metabolism slows and energy drops so that it's nearly impossible to lose weight.

Glutarex(TM) works by helping the body increase its ability to burn calories, slow the process of converting calories to fat, increase fat mobilization, increase the overall metabolic rate and helps rid the body of immature fat cells before they mature and become bloated with fat.

All three products are derived from natural herbs and beneficial vitamins and have already entered the top 10 list of American Health & Diet Center's fastest selling products.

AHDC soon will release two other products that will complement these newest weight loss solutions. Xenotropin(TM) is a safe, effective and proprietary blend of amino acids, HGH and IGF-1 precursor nutrients that promote the body's natural release of vital human growth factors to help optimize lean tissue to body fat ration, maximize physical performance and rejuvenate aging cells. It contains recombinant human growth hormone or growth factors in a homeopathic formulation.

Research shows that the body produces specific growth factors that are vital to the optimum ratio of lean tissue to body fat, enhanced physical performance and vitality that we enjoy in our youth. Many scientists believe that the decline of these important growth factors that result as we age, may strongly correspond with an increase in body fat, a decrease in lean tissue, a reduction in physical performance and more rapid cellular aging. Xenotropin(TM) works by stimulating the body's own defense and healing mechanisms, helping bring the body back to its optimum performance level. Xenotropin(TM) homeopathic hGH formula may increase lean body mass, improve physical appearance, energy, endurance and boosts immune system functions.

In addition to Xenotropin(TM), AHDC is also ready to launch Dermagel(TM) in April 2002. Xenotropin(TM) is a topical gel that helps to temporarily reduce the appearance of fatty cells under the skin.

These products are available at American Health and Diet Centers/Nutritionary stores or on its website www.nutritionary.com.
