CORAL SPRINGS, FL--(Marketwired - Apr 22, 2015) - Nutra Pharma Corporation (OTC: NPHC), a biotechnology company that is developing treatments for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) and Pain, announced today that they have engaged the Vancouver Commodities Group (VCG) to begin the process of identifying and vetting potential distributors in China for the Company's Over-the-Counter pain drug, Nyloxin®.

"We recently announced that the first test orders of Nyloxin have gone out to our distributors in India," stated Rik J Deitsch, Chairman and CEO of Nutra Pharma Corporation. "This news of international expansion has brought several exciting opportunities to Nutra Pharma, including the introduction of consultants that have the ability to identify foreign markets as well as aid in drug registration, approval and distribution," he continued. "Our consultants at VCG have already introduced Nyloxin to potential distributors in China and they believe that we can move the approval process forward expeditiously," he concluded.

China is currently the world's most populous country with almost 1.4B people. According to Research & Markets, the analgesics drug category in China was worth $1.2 billion in 2014 and was dominated by Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and topical ointments.

"We are extremely pleased to be working with Nutra Pharma Corp.," commented Robert Cymbala, Managing Director of Vancouver Commodities Group. "We have already received favorable reactions both from Government agencies within the Peoples Republic of China and from private Pharma companies in the region with strong distribution capabilities," he continued. "We view this as a first step in broadening distribution into Asia. We also believe that it is possible that other areas in the region such as Hong Kong and Singapore will be very receptive to Nutra Pharma's Products," he concluded.
