SILVER SPRING, Md., March 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunpeaks Ventures, Inc. (OTCBB: SNPK) (PINKSHEETS: SNPK) (the "Company" or "Sunpeaks Ventures") and its wholly owned subsidiary Healthcare Distribution Specialist, LLC ("HDS") are pleased to announce that they have entered into the final stages of negotiations to engage a well-known sports celebrity to act as Clotamin® national spokesperson.  Clotamin is the world's first specialized OTC multivitamin product designed exclusively for use by patients on Warfarin® and other anticoagulants (blood thinners). 

The proposed sports celebrity spokesperson is a current National Basketball Association (NBA) head coach and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame nominated player.  During his 15+ year career as a player in the NBA, he collected more than 10,000 points and 10,000 rebounds, won three championship rings, and was twice named to the NBA All-Star team.  He is listed in the NBA Top 20 List for career games played, career rebounding leaders, and career playoff rebounding leaders.  Since his retirement from active play, he has spent time as a popular NBA television commentator and as head coach with several NBA teams.

"We couldn't be happier about identifying a current Clotamin user who also happens to be a legendary player and coach in the NBA.  We believe that a strong marketing campaign featuring this individual could really help to boost Clotamin awareness and sales across the board," stated Mackie A. Barch, CEO of Sunpeaks.  "Upon successful conclusion of negotiations, we intend to launch a national ad campaign featuring the famous player/coach designed to drive Clotamin into new markets and distribution channels."
