Tharos Laboratories, Inc. Introduces Nytex Sleep Supplement

FOXBORO, Mass., Aug. 26, 2004 -- Tharos Laboratories, Inc. (TLI), a nutraceutical and phytochemical ingredient company, is making plans to introduce Nytex(tm), a natural dietary supplement that aids restful sleep and relaxation, this fall.

The company's CEO and founder, Nikos Linardakis, M.D., draws parallels between creating Nytex(tm) and the Olympic games taking place in Greece. "Launching the company and its new products has taken a dedication similar to that required in training for the Olympics," Dr. Linardakis says.

Going for the Gold Medal

"We're going for the gold medal with Nytex(tm) as a natural sleep-aid product," says Dr. Linardakis. "As a medical doctor, I am interested in an evidence-based approach for a natural aid to sleep." The company's name, Tharos, means both strength and courage in Greek. The Company's dietary supplements and other products will offer pharmaceutical-grade, highest quality ingredients in standardized doses. The symbol of TLI is the butterfly, which reflects the company philosophy of 'Strength from Nature, Endorsed by Science'.

"It's the union of science and nature," says Dr. Linardakis. Nytex(tm) can be a first step to help people achieve natural, restful sleep, and no prescription is required.

Promotes Night-time Relaxation

Using unique processes protected by a U.S. Patent, Tharos Laboratories focuses on extracting and concentrating micronutrients with known health benefits from natural plant sources. Nytex(tm) is a blend of safe, natural ingredients, physician-formulated to help in four areas that could be troublesome for many: promoting night-time relaxation, falling sleep, staying asleep and waking up refreshed.

Various sources estimate that up to half of all adults have experienced sleep problems or problems with relaxation before bed. "Being sleep-deprived has negative effects on health, attitude and performance," says Dr. Linardakis. "We created Nytex(tm) supplement as a safe, gentle, effective way to help with both the initiation of sleep and the maintenance of sleep. As the name Nytex(tm) implies, night-time relaxation is the main benefit that leads to restful sleep," says Dr. Linardakis. "It is part of the goal of the ancient Greeks -- a sound mind in a sound body."

Educational Campaigns to be Conducted

Along with the product launch of Nytex(tm) as a natural sleep aid, Tharos plans to conduct educational campaigns to create awareness of the far-reaching effects of sleep deprivation -- which seems to be universal problem in our fast-paced world. People under stress, students, shift workers, travelers, and those with erratic sleep habits or a predisposition to worry are especially susceptible.

Nytex(tm) Sleep Supplement includes a proprietary blend of natural ingredients such as melatonin, valerian root, and a patent-protected antioxidant, Procidin(tm), created by physicians and scientists from Tharos Laboratories, Inc. It will soon be available on the retail market and in dietary supplement stores. It can also be ordered directly from 1-866-NYTEX-4-U (1-866-698-3948).
