SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BW HealthWire)--April 10, 2000

Baywood International, Inc. (OTC BB:BYWD) announced the launch of its patented anti-snoring product, Dr. Harris' Original Snore Formula, into CVS/pharmacy stores nationwide. The roll-out of the product will be implemented during the month of April where Baywood will continue to institute a print and media campaign for the product to consistently support CVS/pharmacy.

Dr. Harris' Original Snore Formula, introduced by Baywood in its SOLUTIONS(TM) line in July 1999, is a patented, all-natural product designed to relieve nighttime snoring, one of the most common quality-of-life problems for adults. Medical authorities have estimated that up to 40% of the U.S. population, or over 100 million people, are chronic, regular snorers. Baywood presented this and other products recently at ECRM's Cough & Cold/Analgesics EPPS Conference in Florida during the last week of March where Baywood met one-on-one with buyers from numerous grocery and drug chains across the U.S.

Operating over 4,100 stores in 25 states and the District of Columbia, CVS/pharmacy (NYSE:CVS) is the largest drugstore chain in the United States based on store count and the leader in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Southeast. CVS/pharmacy's notable acquisitions include Revco D.S., Inc. in 1997 and Arbor Drugs, Inc. in 1998 which further established CVS/pharmacy as a market leader with revenues in excess of $15 billion and handling approximately 12% of all retail prescriptions in the U.S. Their most recent acquisition in 1999 of Soma.com in Seattle, Washington accelerated their presence on the Internet and strengthened CVS/pharmacy's current relationship with their 55 million customers and the loyalty to their 12,000 pharmacists.

"Since joining Baywood, it is evident that the confidence the company has put forth in presenting itself to the retail channels is reflective of the value of our products to consumers," stated Joe Heaney, Director of Sales for Baywood. "The decision of CVS/pharmacy to present our products to their loyal customer base at this time is a solid endorsement of the value Baywood brings to the market," Heaney further stated.
