Pleasanton, Calif. (Feb. 6, 2006)  - Many of the U.S. athletes are bringing more than focus and determination to Torino. With transatlantic flights, little sleep, drastic temperature changes, and the stress of competition, they won't hit the slopes without NutriFeron, an immunity boosting supplement from Shaklee. The official immunity product of the U.S. Ski TeamŽ and U.S. Snowboarding?, NutriFeron is another way for elite athletes to capture and keep the advantage.*

"The U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarders travel four to five months straight each year, flying to extreme weather conditions in many different countries. NutriFeron makes a big difference in strengthening their immune systems as they push through jet lag, extreme climates, and tough training,"* says Susie Simmons, United States Ski Association (USSA) Sports Dietitian & Physiologist. "They take NutriFeron with them wherever they are traveling to train and compete around the world." NutriFeron is the only dietary supplement in the U.S. created by the discoverer of interferon that naturally increases interferon production, a protein produced by the body to trigger immune response and boost the system overall. Other immune boosters may put the body into overdrive, simulating the body's response to an infection. Its patented blend of natural plant extracts from pumpkin seeds, safflower flowers, plantago seeds, and Japanese honeysuckle flower buds, has been clinically proven to support and stimulate the natural immune response process at the cellular level. The U.S. Ski and Snowboard teams use NutriFeron throughout the year for overall health and performance, and Simmons has recommended this immune-builder as a part of their regimen in direct preparation for upcoming competitions. * Exclusively marketed by Shaklee Corporation, the NutriFeron supplement was developed by the Japanese scientist, Dr. Yasuhiko Kojima, Director of Research at Interferon Herb Laboratories who discovered interferon in 1954. After more than 40 years of research on the interferon-inducing activities in Chinese herbal medicines, Dr. Kojima successfully isolated four botanicals that, in combination, naturally increase the body's production of its own interferon. "There isn't a better endorsement of a health supplement's performance than its official use by these elite competitors," says Roger Barnett, Chairman and CEO of Shaklee Corporation. "If those in optimal physical condition see the benefits, that's a powerful statement for what it can do for the rest of us." Since the development of NutriFeron, four human clinical studies have documented the supplement's actions. Following the principles of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, The Center for Immune Research, founded by Shaklee Corporation, is devoted to underwriting and publishing independent research in scientific literature about advances in this field. It is also devoted to conducting science-based public education about improved immune health. A website was launched by the Center containing authoritative information about the functioning of the immune system and the role of interferon in activating an immune response: http://www.immunityfacts.com/.
