San Diego, California, April 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Guardion Health Sciences, Inc. ("Guardion" or the "Company") GHSI, a company (i) that has developed medical foods and medical devices in the ocular health marketplace and (ii) that is developing nutraceuticals that the Company believes will provide health benefits to consumers, announced today that it received an initial order from Astramune Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Ho Wah Genting Berhad ("HWGB") (KLSE: 9601), a Malaysian company listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange (Industrial Products sector), for a sample order of its proprietary immuno-supportive formula. Guardion currently anticipates shipping this sample order by June 30, 2020.

The Company had previously announced in February 2020 that HWGB contracted Guardion and its wholly-owned subsidiary, NutriGuard, to develop an immuno-supportive formula for the HWGB consumer base. Dr. Mark McCarty, the original founder of NutriGuard, and now a senior scientist/consultant to Guardion, has led the development of this proprietary formulation.

Michael Favish, CEO of Guardion Health Sciences, commented, "We were pleased to have been selected by HWGB to utilize our expertise and resources to develop a proprietary product that is specifically designed to boost immune system capability. Given the demand expected from HWGB's customer base, we are advised that HWGB is ramping up this business line, and we are preparing to be able to meet HWGB's product requirements during 2020 and thereafter."

Dr. McCarty is a leader in the scientific validation of nutrition-based therapies for potentiating the type 1 interferon response to RNA viruses. The formula is designed to provide immuno-supportive benefits to its users. The formulation has not been used or tested for, nor is it intended to specifically address, symptoms of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
