ReceptoPharm Begins Phase IIb Human Clinical Trial for the Treatment of Adrenomyeloneuropathy.

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Nutra Pharma Corp. (OTCBB:NPHC), a biotechnology company that is developing drugs for HIV and Multiple Sclerosis has today announced that ReceptoPharm had commenced its Phase IIb clinical trial in subjects with Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN).

"The AMN trial is important for ReceptoPharm, as its protocol will also allow us to assess the potential effects of RPI-78M in Multiple sclerosis," explained Paul Reid, CEO of ReceptoPharm, Inc. "We are happy it is underway and, given our prior clinical experiences, we are very positive about the future outcome of this trial," he added.

RPI-78M is ReceptoPharm's lead drug candidate for the treatment of neurological disorders. The Company announced regulatory approval to begin its Phase IIb trial in April 2006, but was later delayed by contract drug fillers and the British Medicines and Health Regulatory Agency's (MHRA) need for certification of the clinical drug batch prior to starting the trial.

"We are pleased that the MHRA feels comfortable with our safety data and has given us the final endorsement to begin our trial," commented Rik J. Deitsch, Chairman and CEO of Nutra Pharma Corporation. "The commencement of this trial provides the foundation for initiating several additional clinical trials that we have scheduled for 2007," he concluded.

There is currently no approved treatment for Adrenomyeloneuropathy. Additionally, the disease's rarity designates it as an orphan drug candidate both in Europe and in the U.S. ReceptoPharm has applied for Orphan drug status in the U.S. and intends doing so for the EU.
