DRINKABLES®
TO SPONSOR IRON MAN WALKING

Nation’s Leading Liquid Nutritional Supplement Company To Provide One-Legged Man with Products, Support

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (January 3, 2006) -- Drinkables® Liquid Nutritional Supplements has agreed to sponsor 68-year-old, one-legged Roy Dye, a.k.a. Iron Man Walking, as he attempts to walk across the United States with little more than a prosthetic leg, it was announced today by William Steele IV, president of Remington Health Products, the maker of Drinkables®. Drinkables will be the exclusive supplement company for Dye, who lost his leg to gangrene after receiving a gunshot wound while serving in the military. For more information on Dye, visit www.ironmanwalking.com.

Dye, who will walk from Jacksonville to San Diego, will try to inspire millions worldwide to join his cross-country effort and, hopefully, to develop a healthy way of life and extend their life expectancy considerably in the process. If successful, the Iron Man Walking Marathon will help establish a charitable trust or foundation to the American Cancer Society and, hence, continue helping others. His walk is set to begin on Jan. 5.

"Nothing should inspire you more than to see a man nearly 70 years of age with one leg, donning a prosthesis each morning and walking across the good ‘ol USA," said Dye. "Whether you’re out of condition, overweight, underweight, an amputee, disabled in various other ways or simply believe you cannot complete certain tasks, I intend to prove to the world that you have the power to achieve your goals regardless of your present condition...as long as you believe you can."

With a cross-country walk a major undertaking for anyone, much less a man who has one leg, when Steele heard about Iron Man Walking, he quickly contacted Dye to ask him if he could help him complete his walk by providing him the supplements his body will require.  Medical studies suggest that Roy will be risking “serious joint problems” during his nearly 3,000-mile quest.

“It’s absolutely critical that Iron Man Walking maintains his health and protects his joints,” confirmed Steele.  “The pressure on his joints, given his daily regimen, is tremendous.  Our Joint Care product is the perfect product for Roy.  It absorbs quickly into the bloodstream and concentrates on the regeneration of the body’s joints.  Our Multi-Vitamins will also help him maintain his daily nutritional requirements, which is also crucial to the success of his walk.”

Drinkables® Joint Care is the latest “pills you can drink” offered by Remington Health Products.  Joint Care is a liquid supplement designed to help athletes and other active adults promote healthy joints and cartilage. The pleasant-tasting citrus flavored supplement includes 2,000 mg of Glucosamine, 1,200 mg of Chondroitin  and 500 mg of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).  In addition, the product has Collagen and Vitamin C for even greater nutritional support.

“We are delighted to be associated with Iron Man Walking,” said Steele.  What he has set out to do is clearly one of the more remarkable things I’ve ever seen.  To make a sacrifice such as this to help himself and others is quite admirable indeed.  We are honored to supply him with the nutrients and joint care products he will need to help him complete his historic journey.”
