Salugen AG: Published study shows Salugen (SYMBOL: SQZ.F) product reduces cravings among addicts in addiction treatment center

Study of 600 patients in addiction treatment center demonstrates Salugen product significantly improves both the emotional and behavioral recovery of alcoholics

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND and SAN DIEGO, CA USA – May 26, 2009 – Salugen® (SYMBOL: SQZ.F), a publicly-traded international life sciences company, announces today the publication of a 600-patient study demonstrating significant improvement in both the emotional and behavioral recovery of alcoholics.*

Published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Trends in Applied Sciences and Research, this study demonstrates that the Salugen Preveras technology reduced craving (p<0.001), depression (p<0.001), anxiety (p<0.001), anger (p<0.001), fatigue (p<0.001), lack of energy (p<0.001) and crisis (p<0.001). Salugen’s Preveras technology is available in HAVEOS, a DNA-customized anti-craving program for narcotic attenuation and other substance use disorders.

Current scientific evidence suggests that almost half of alcohol dependence is due to genetic influences and half is due to environmental triggers. (Dick DM, Bierut LJ (April 2006). "The genetics of alcohol dependence" Current Psychiatry Reports, 8 (2): 151–7.) According to the World Health Organization, over 140 million persons suffer from alcohol dependence worldwide (WHO European Ministerial Conference on Young People and Alcohol). The wide prevalence of alcohol dependence and the contributing genetic factors suggest a large opportunity for a product that identifies genetic factors and then helps address the genetic influence.

Preveras™ is the Spanish word for ‘preside’ or ‘control’. Preveras is a patent-protected, clinically-proven, and all-natural ingredient complex from Salugen (www.salugen.com). It can be ingested in multiple forms as a pill, powder, sublingual dissolving tablet, chewable, as an ingredient in water or fruit juice, intravenously, in an intra-muscular injection, and in intra-rectal paste. It is a 3rd generation nutrient complex believed to be an all-natural dopamine neuronal-release promoter improving upon earlier iterations of the research such as SAAVE, tropamine, PhenCal, and synaptamine.* It contains certain targeted amino-acids, a Vitamin B complex, and certain herbs formulated and clinically studied to optimize brain reward chemistry.*

This published study adds to the existing published scientific data supporting the Salugen technology. For more information or download published studies on Salugen’s technology, contact Salugen or visit. http://www.salugen.com.
