Business Wire
O.C. Beverages, Inc. (PINK SHEETS:�OCBG) has established a
health panel to evaluate and guide O.C. Beverages in developing
healthy beverages. The Company has already developed
Glutathione/Selenium bottled water which will be introduced late
spring or early summer and it is in the final stages of packaging
design. Glutathione is the body�s master anti-oxidant and people
cannot live without it. We believe the Glutathione/Selenium Complex
will be the strongest, most effective super anti-oxidant health
drink ever marketed. Dr. Theodore Hersh and Dr. Julia T. Hunter
have been the two professionals guiding our Company through the
process. Dr. Hersh is the inventor and patent holder and has
provided O.C. Beverages with an exclusive ten year agreement in the
U.S. and Canada to market Thione Complex� for beverages. The Thione
Complex� is based on Glutathione and Selenium plus its synergistic
cellular anti-oxidant partners. Dr. Hunter introduced our Company
to Dr. Hersh and has provided guidance in the overall health
trends. �We are honored to have these two outstanding doctors as
the first two selections on the Company�s health panel, which will
consist of five panelists,� said Lee Danna, President/CEO.
Dr. Hersh stated, �For the past 11 years, my wife, Rebecca, and
I have devoted ourselves to unraveling the hidden natural processes
by which the body heals itself and how to mimic and optimize this
process. This research led to the creation of the �Thione
Complex�,� based on Glutathione, the body�s master anti-oxidant. By
combining Glutathione with its synergistic cellular partner,
selenium, and adding vitamins B, C, D & E, the Thione Complex�
replicates the exact same defense system found in the body, in
effect �super-charging� one�s own healing powers and allowing the
key ingredients to be directly absorbed into the blood stream to
repair cells, thereby providing the strongest anti-oxidant complex
ever developed. According to Dr. Hersh, �The biggest health benefit
for the average consumer is building their immune system and
nothing builds it faster or stronger than the body�s master
anti-oxidant, Glutathione with selenium. This product represents
the innovation that results when bio-science and technology are
combined and we are very excited to see the product ready and
launching here in the U.S.�
Dr. Julia T. Hunter, dermatologist and founder of Skin Fitness
Plus in Beverly Hills, CA, is well known as an expert on
ingredients and �from health comes beauty.� �I am delighted that
O.C. Beverages is focused on providing healthy beverages to the
marketplace and having her as an advisor to accomplish this
excellent goal. Glutathione is the master anti-oxidant and for Dr.
Theodore Hersh to have developed the technology to place
Glutathione in a beverage is very exciting.�
