Agassi Credits Twinlab Nutritional Products For

Rise from No. 141 to Top of the Rankings

Twinlab Corporation (NASDAQ: TWLB) announced today that it will launch a fully integrated television, print and radio advertising and marketing campaign, featuring the success story of its new spokesperson, Andre Agassi, one of the top-ranked tennis players in the world and a long-time user of the company's nutritional products.

Television spots featuring Agassi will begin airing June 9th.

Agassi decided to become a Twinlab spokesperson because he believes that the company's products have played an important role in the training and fitness regimen that led him back to the top of the world's tennis rankings - and he wants to share his experiences with others.

"Twinlab products have played a major role in improving and maintaining my fitness, strength and endurance," said Agassi. "It just made sense for me to represent a company whose products I truly believe can benefit anyone. Twinlab has made a major contribution to my game and overall fitness."

One of tennis' most popular stars, Agassi is the first player ever to win all four Grand Slams on four different surfaces. He holds two U.S. Open titles, two Australian Open titles (most recently in 2000), the 1999 French Open title, a Wimbledon men's singles title, an Olympic Gold Medal, and is a regular player on the U.S. Davis Cup team. Agassi continues to be a crowd favorite due to his fitness, dedication and love of the game of tennis.

"Andre's experience with our products over the past few years speaks volumes for the role they can play in one's overall fitness," said Neil Blechman, a Twinlab Executive Vice President. "Whether you're an elite athlete, or someone who simply wants to lead a healthy lifestyle, we believe that you can benefit from our broad line of high quality, research-driven nutritional products."

The first commercial to air uses archival footage, showing a 6-year-old Agassi being interviewed about his dreams for a professional tennis career. "When you're ready to become the person you were born to be, Twinlab will show you how," is the message as the commercial cuts to a grown-up Agassi, blasting shots across the net.

A second commercial focuses on Andre's obsession with the number 141, his ranking two years ago before embarking on his disciplined and intensive training program which included Twinlab products, that has made him one of the fittest and most dominant professional tennis players in the world.

The ads were created by Hanft Byrne Raboy & Partners (New York).

"We believe this advertising positions Andre as a true believer in Twinlab's products - and not just another commercial spokesperson," said Doug Raboy, Managing Partner, who created the spots with Sylvia Frascaroli, Creative Director.

All advertising will carry the new Twinlab tagline -- Answers. For Life. -- which positions the company as a provider of wellness solutions, reflecting its multi-category leadership in sports nutrition, vitamins, minerals and herbal products.

The television spots are the nucleus of an integrated marketing plan that leverages the Twinlab/Agassi story via radio, print, FSI, point-of-sale, consumer promotions and the Internet. Additionally, Twinlab's "Change Your Life" sweepstakes will award four "Tennis Trips of a Lifetime" to the Grand Slam event of the winners' choice. A portion of the sales generated by the sweepstakes will be donated to the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation helping children in need.

The Twinlab website (http://www.twinlab.com) will be expanded for the third quarter to include an Agassi "sitelet," where consumers can learn more about Andre Agassi, his relationship with Twinlab, health & fitness tips, and enter the sweepstakes online.
