Sunburn and Sun Allergy may be Inhibited by GliSODin as Shown in New
Study

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Mar 31, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PL Thomas (PLT)
today announced the results of a new study using its exclusive
dietary supplement ingredient, GliSODin(R), demonstrating significant
protection against the deleterious effects of the sun. Conducted by
French dermatologists over a 60-day period, 150 volunteers
participated in this open trial designed to gauge the effect of
GliSODin for individuals susceptible to flushing and burns, sun
allergy, and other reactions such as pruritus, solar eczema and
rashes.

In the study, 86% of the participants experienced significant
protection. The report concludes, "GliSODin usage prepares the skin
for exposure to the sun and undeniably improves the condition of both
the patient's skin and general condition."

The sun gives out energy over a broad spectrum of wavelengths.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which has a shorter wavelength than
either visible blue or violet light, is a cause of oxidative stress,
and is responsible for skin irritation, sunburn and other adverse
health effects.

GliSODin, a nutraceutical product that promotes the production of the
body's own antioxidants, including super oxide dismutase (SOD), has
been shown in several human studies to promote cellular health and
protect against damage caused by oxidative stress.

Catherine Laverdet, M.D., previously conducted a pilot study on sun
exposure with 15 volunteers. Completed in September 2003, GliSODin
demonstrated protection against skin irritation, sunburn and sun
allergy. These findings led Dr. Laverdet and a team of 40 French
dermatologists to evaluate the effects of GliSODin and sun exposure
in 150 patients (130 women and 20 men).

The patients were given 500mg of GliSODin a day 15 days prior to and
during sun exposure. The patients sunbathed as usual and continued to
use their regular sun screen (Index 20 to 100).

Enrolled patients were split into three different groups and
evaluated after 60 days.

-- Group 1: 75 patients who suffer flushes as soon as sun exposure
begins or following more or less serious sunburns. In this group, 85%
of the patients (64) had no sunburn, 8% (6) had diminished episodes
and 6% (5) experienced sunburn.

-- Group 2: 60 patients who experience sun allergic reactions. In
this group, 73% of the patients (44) did not experience allergic
reaction, 10% (6) had a reduced reaction and 16% (10) experienced an
allergic reaction.

-- Group 3: 15 patients with other reactions such as pruritus (severe
skin itching), solar eczema and rashes. In this group, 100% of the
patients were free from negative reactions.

The participants also completed a questionnaire and reported the
following:

-- 110 patients believed that their skin was well prepared for
exposure to the sun

-- 76 patients reported that they tanned more with less exposure to
the sun

-- 62 patients felt that taking GliSODin speeds up the tanning
process

The patients were asked to report any quality-of-life issues that
they associated with GliSODin usage. Eighty-eight patients declared
their quality of life to have been improved, citing among other
benefits increased vitality, improved quality of sleep and alertness,
and reduced muscular pain.

The study was sponsored by the manufacturer of GliSODin(R), ISOCELL
Nutra, France.
