Health Enhancement Products Signs Contract With Specialty Nutrition Group, Inc. for Re-Branding and Product Marketing of ProAlgaZyme

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwire - December 13, 2007) - Health Enhancement Products, Inc. (OTCBB: HEPI) announced today that they have entered into a re-branding and marketing agreement with Specialty Nutrition Group, Inc. (SNG) Florida. The agreement calls for SNG to "create a new brand positioning," including packaging and marketing materials, and to identify and develop potential partners for distribution.

A spokesman for HEPI stated: "For the past 3 1/2 years we've been working diligently to prove the efficacy of our product, and although we've done some marketing of ProAlgaZyme, it's been minimal at best and not as successful as we had hoped. With the recent peer reviewed publication with respect to the results of our Cameroon trials, ProAlgaZyme's credibility as a nutraceutical should be greatly enhanced. We believe that the nutraceutical industry will take a more serious look at the sales potential of a product whose claimed benefits are supported by a peer reviewed study, particularly compared to other products whose claimed benefits are not supported by a clinical study. Specialty Nutrition Group, Inc. is the premier marketing and branding group in this industry and we're thrilled that they are working with us on this exciting project."

Specialty Nutrition Group, Inc. is a nutrition brand building firm focused on commercializing innovative and scientifically validated nutrition products. SNG acts as co-development partner with large consumer products and nutrition companies to rapidly commercialize nutrition innovations, represents academic institutions and individual inventors to find new commercial applications for their inventions, and develops its own brands for commercial launch in the nutraceutical market. The professionals of Specialty Nutrition Group, Inc. have been responsible for launching new nutraceuticals products with current annual retail sales of over $1 billion.

The Group's primary partners are Greg Horn, former CEO of General Nutrition Centers, (GNC), where he was responsible for building GNC from $400 million to $1.5 billion in revenues. Irina Lorenzi, President of SNG and past VP of Marketing at Rexall-Sundown where she was responsible for multiple supplement lines.

Irina Lorenzi, President of SNG stated: "We see significant health and commercial potential for the ProAlgaZyme formulation," and we are delighted to play a role in achieving that potential." Greg Horn, Principal at SNG noted: "This product offers the rare combination of proprietary manufacturing, intellectual property, and clinical research on the final product, which has the benefit of being all natural. The early research indicates effectiveness against a cluster of health issues with tens of millions of suffers in the U.S. alone, an indicator of strong market potential."
