Pharmaceutical Biotech Research Company EastGate Biotech Corporation and AC Nova Technologies (ATI Pharma) Announce a Joint Venture to Commercialize Evidence-Based Natural Therapies Focused on Glucose Balance and Cardiovascular Health

WEST CALDWELL, NJ and TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Apr 4, 2017) - EastGate Biotech Corp. (OTC PINK: ETBI), an emerging pharmaceutical and biotech research company that develops, produces and distributes innovative and healthy nutraceuticals, has announced that it has entered into a Joint Venture with AC Nova Technologies Inc. (ATI Pharma). The synergy of talents and products means that these two start-up emerging pharmaceutical companies will now provide expertise starting with formulation development to clinical research and product launch. Both EastGate Biotech (www.EastGateBiotech.com) and ATI Pharma (www.atipharma.com) are focused on products that although naturally occurring are selected based on extensive evidence-based research in both animals and humans. The focus of their therapies is to slow down the onset of aging by maintaining cellular health of key systems.

These two companies believe that aging is primarily a result of vascular, inflammatory and bone degeneration and by providing products and treatments focused on these three systems both the quality and quantity of life will be extended.

"The Joint Venture with ATI Pharma is synergistic to our rejuvenation program," says Anna Gluskin, EastGate's CEO. "The ATI Pharma product line complements EastGate's glucose management products including natural and pharmaceutical developments along with the state-of-the art treatments offered by our recent acquisition OMNI Surgery + Anti-Aging Centre (www.omnisurgery.ca)." "We look forward to maximizing our wholistic approach to anti-aging," concluded Gluskin.

According to ATI Pharma's CEO Carmella Angus, "Our main focus within the Joint Venture is to provide products that complement therapies that slow the symptoms of aging by providing a balance to glucose metabolism, cardiovascular health, bone health as well as hormone balance." "We are ready for an aggressive launch and commercialization of our key products," says Angus.
