CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- Memorial Day signifies the official start of summer and, typically, this is also a time when consumers get serious about shedding their winter weight. Natrol, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTOL), a premier manufacturer and marketer of nationally branded nutritional products, can help men and women get into bikini and board-short shape with supplements that: 1) support weight and body fat loss; 2) enhance energy levels to encourage exercise; and, 3) provide sports nutrition to support workouts.

According to Dr. Michael Yatcilla, Natrol's Vice President of Research and Development, "Combined with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise plan, Natrol's products can assist consumers in achieving and maintaining their healthy weight and physique goals."

Natrol offers the following supplements to assist consumers with weight management, energy enhancement, and sports nutrition:

* Carb Intercept([R]) - This supplement contains the clinically tested, proprietary ingredient, Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer([R]), the first weight management ingredient with two FDA-recognized claims: may reduce the enzymatic digestion of dietary starches; and, may assist in weight control when used in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise program. Derived from white kidney bean, Phase 2[R] is an all-natural, non-stimulant, safe and powerful nutritional ingredient. It is a clinically tested ingredient that inhibits the enzyme responsible for digesting starch into simple sugars the body can absorb.(+) As part of a reduced-calorie diet and exercise program, Carb Intercept can support weight loss with two capsules taken up to three times daily, with a full glass of water, immediately before eating starch-containing foods. The average U.S. SRP is $11.99, $19.99, and $29.99 for a quantity of 30, 60, and 120 capsules respectively.*

* Tonalin([R]) CLA 1200 mg(++) (new and improved!) - Derived from safflower oil, CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is a fatty acid that has been clinically tested, with years of research studies on humans showing that it may play a role in reducing body fat and increasing muscle retention by helping to "partition" the way energy is stored and used by the body. Designed for use in conjunction with a healthy exercise program and lower calorie diet, Natrol's patented Tonalin CLA 1200 mg formula can help keep fat off and prevent fat regain with one softgel taken three times daily with a meal. Now, Natrol offers this new-and-improved product in quantities of 60 or 90 softgels, with an average U.S. SRP of $19.99 and $24.99 respectively.*

* Natrol High Effervescent[TM] - Dissolving one of these effervescent tablets in a full glass of cold water (or water bottle) is a great-tasting and convenient way to energize for exercise. Natrol High Effervescent contains B vitamins, essential for healthy conversion of calories into energy, and it comes in two sugar-free flavors--strawberry and orange--for a zero-calorie rejuvenating beverage in mere minutes. Individually foil-wrapped for freshness, Natrol High Effervescent is a quick pick-me-up that enhances energy and fights fatigue to encourage exercise. The average U.S. SRP is $8.99 for ten tablets.*

* PROLAB([R]) Sports Nutrition Products - Prolab offers various body building, weight loss, and health and fitness sports nutrition supplements in powder, liquid, and pill formulations.
