Stevia / LOHAS Stock Alert: GLG (TSX: GLG) (OTC: GLGLF) Announces FDA's Issuance of Letter of no Objection for Rebsweet(TM) and AnySweetPLUS(TM) Stevia Extracts

Vancouver, B.C. - June 4, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) GLG Life Tech Corporation (TSX: GLG) (OTC: GLGLF) ("GLG" or the "Company"), a global leader in the agricultural and commercial development of high-quality natural sweeteners, announces that the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has issued a Generally Recognized as Safe ("GRAS") letter of no objection covering several of GLG's high-purity stevia extracts (Filing No. GRN 493). These extracts, each containing over 95% steviol glycosides (predominantly rebaudioside A and stevioside), include GLG's Rebsweet(TM) and AnySweetPLUS(TM) stevia extract products (with rebaudioside A content ranging from 50% to 85%).

The GRAS program is an FDA-approved process that enables companies to conduct independent GRAS determinations through consultations with qualified experts to determine that an ingredient satisfies the FDA's safety criteria. Accordingly, GLG engaged GRAS Associates, LLC, who convened an independent panel of expert scientists to spearhead the safety assessment and compile a dossier describing the months-long study and its results. GLG subsequently submitted that dossier to the FDA for review, resulting in the FDA's letter of no objection.
The latest GRAS designations further GLG's commitment to maintaining the highest quality standards for its products. To date, it has received five GRAS letters of no objection covering an array of high-purity stevia products, with a sixth GRAS determination pending FDA review (for high-purity rebaudioside M) and two other GRAS projects currently underway (for high-purity rebaudioside C and D). Additionally, GLG recently announced its submission of a GRAS notification to the FDA for its Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) extract products. GLG has the largest number of stevia products certified under the GRAS process, and remains committed to ensuring that each of its naturally-sourced sweetener products conforms with the GRAS compliance standards.

Breaking Tech News: NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD) Releases Video for Wocket™ Smart Wallet Event Held at the Plaza Hotel; See the First Wocket Public Financial Transaction

SHELTON, Conn. - June 2, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc., (OTCQB: NXTD) a biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile, electronic commerce market, today released the video of its first corporate launch event and press conference for its next generation smart wallet, Wocket™, designed to replace all the cards in your wallet. The event was held in New York City on May 28th at the Plaza Hotel from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Attendees included shareholders, Fox News, New York Daily News and other media plus celebrity guest Olivia Culpo, former Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Rhode Island.

Mr. Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID said "Meet Wocket, the smartest wallet you will ever own”, providing the audience with compelling reasons why they will want a Wocket smart wallet to address current identity theft and credit card fraud problems.
He told the audience that in the last 18 months there have been over a billion data breaches. When he then turned to the audience to ask who had had their identity or payment information stolen almost half the audience raised their hands.
"A Wocket stores your personal information in a personal vault that is accessed only by you either through your voice or PIN or a customized drawing shape on the screen. It is in there and is safe and secure,” he assured the members of the audience.
He also let the audience know that the Company was pursuing a strategy by which Wocket will become a household name. "Many of you have seen our ads on CNBC and we are following with a very strong digital campaign over the next few months,” he said.
The presentation closed with Wocket making its first public financial transaction.
Following the event consumers could commence ordering the Wocket at http://www.wocketwallet.com/.

The full Wocket product FAQ is available to consumers and media at http://nxt-id.com/wocket-faq/
FAQ Highlights:
"What is Wocket™?
Wocket™ is a smart wallet. Like the smart phone and smart watch, NXT-ID is introducing its innovative, patent-pending Wocket™ as the next natural step in the evolution of smart devices.
"What does Wocket™ do?
Wocket™ locks all of your private information in an electronic "vault", where only an authenticated owner can authorize access to the data. Thus, you can "lock it with Wocket™ in your pocket", protecting your private information from unauthorized access.
"What makes Wocket™ smart?
Wocket™ smart wallet protects all of your private information inside an electronic vault while reducing the number of cards in your wallet. Dynamic pairing for authentication and encrypted data transfer with other secondary devices along with a plethora of new, innovative features makes Wocket™ the smartest wallet ever devised.
"How is Wocket™ different from other smart card solutions?
Wocket™ is not a smart card - it is a smart wallet. Thus, it can communicate with smart cards, but is not limited in the number, type, or method of communication of private information that typically restricts the use of a smart card. Furthermore, Wocket™ is not dependent on proximity or any other external factors to secure and choose soft-cards containing private information.
"How is Wocket™ different from other digital wallet solutions?
Rather than replace a wallet as many "digital wallet" technologies attempt to do, we chose to improve the wallet. Unlike other digital wallet solutions that depend on connectivity to choose a payment account, Wocket™ does not depend upon the cloud to select or make a payment.
"Does Wocket™ require another device, such as a cell phone?
No. Although Wocket™ does not require any other peripheral for security or "proximity sensing", Wocket™ can authenticate with secondary devices prior to transaction as an additional step in security as well as utilize a Wocket™ app on other devices to select or manage a soft-card, all without revealing private information.
"How do I access my private information?
A combination of biometrics, personal PIN or pattern provides multi-factor security for your Wocket™. Once Wocket™ verifies your identity, you can simply select whatever soft-card or information you want from the touch screen display, or in some configurations, your voice command.
"How many cards can be securely stored on a Wocket™?
Up to 10,000 cards, records, coupons, etc. and up to 100 voice commands can also be stored on Wocket™. More can be supported with optional additional memory.

Stevia / LOHAS Stock Alert: GLG (TSX: GLG) (OTC: GLGLF) Announces Filing of GRAS Notification With FDA for Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) Extracts

Vancouver, B.C. - May 22, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) GLG Life Tech Corporation (TSX: GLG) (OTC: GLGLF) ("GLG" or the "Company"), a global leader in the agricultural and commercial development of high quality natural sweeteners, announces that it has submitted a Generally Recognized as Safe ("GRAS") notification with the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for its Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) extract products.

This notification represents many months of work developing the products and all required documentation for the FDA-administered GRAS process, in order to demonstrate that GLG's Luo Han Guo extracts meet the FDA's criteria for safety. This process included in-depth consultations with GRAS Associates, LLC, who convened an independent panel of scientists to spearhead the safety assessment. The GRAS notification covers three distinct Luo Han Guo extracts, MV30, MV 50, and MV60, each containing a minimum level of mogroside V (30%, 50%, and 60%, respectively).
GLG has set up a vertically integrated supply chain, including agriculture and processing, for Luo Han Guo in China. GLG differentiates itself from other Luo Han Guo producers in three ways: (1) its competitive advantage in establishing agriculture systems in China, including the introduction of Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) by its Luo Han Guo farmers, superior Luo Han Guo seedlings and its proven methods to expand the amount of farming in other crops such as stevia; (2) its advanced processing and extraction technology, which will enable GLG to more efficiently and economically produce Luo Han Guo extracts and (3) its large industrial processing capacity, which well positions GLG for anticipated growth in the Luo Han Market driven by international food and beverage companies. GLG is expecting its first fruit to be harvested at the end of the third quarter and to commence processing in late 2014. GLG is currently working with a number of international customers interested in its Luo Han Guo products and expects initial sales to be finalized prior to the start of production.
Additionally, GLG has GRAS projects underway for two high-purity stevia products, high-purity rebaudioside C and rebaudioside D; notifications for these are expected to be released for review by the FDA in 2014 as well.

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) Reports Rapid and Sustained Virologic Response Rates in Hepatitis C (HCV) Treated Patients

SAN DIEGO - May 21, 2014 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), the pioneer in developing selective therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease, cancer and other life-threatening conditions, today announced high rapid virologic response (RVR) and sustained virologic response (SVR) rates in Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) infected individuals who were administered Hemopurifier® therapy.

The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical device that selectively targets the rapid clearance of viral pathogens and tumor-secreted exosomes from the entire circulatory system to improve the benefit of drug therapies administered to infectious disease and cancer patients. In HCV care, the device is positioned to address drug resistance associated with emerging all-antiviral therapies and also targets to accelerate HCV RNA depletion at the outset of peginterferon+ribavirin (PR) therapy.
Aethlon recently disclosed that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that now allows the Company to initiate HCV human feasibility studies of Hemopurifier® therapy in the United States. Aethlon announced yesterday that its first U.S. clinical study will be conducted at the DaVita MedCenter Dialysis in Houston, Texas. It is estimated that approximately 170 million people worldwide are infected with HCV, which leads to chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, and is a leading cause of liver transplantation.
In the reported study, HCV-infected individuals were enrolled to receive three six-hour Hemopurifier® treatments during the first three days of a 48-week peginterferon+ribavirin (PR) treatment regimen. The study was conducted under the leadership of Dr. Vijay Kher at the Medanta Medicity, a multi-specialty medical institute established to be a premier center for medical tourism in India. Aethlon reported that Hemopurifier® therapy was well tolerated and without device-related adverse events in twelve treated patients. Of these twelve patients, nine completed the Hemopurifier-PR treatment protocol, including seven genotype-1 patients and two genotype-3 patients. Seven of the nine patients (n=7/9) achieved a sustained virologic response (SVR), which is the clinical definition of treatment cure and is defined as undetectable HCV RNA 24-weeks after the completion of the 48-week PR drug regimen. Both genotype-3 patients achieved a SVR (n=2/2), while five of the seven genotype-1 patients achieved a SVR (n=5/7).
Of the nine patients that completed the protocol, five (n=5/9) also achieved a rapid virologic response (RVR), defined as undetectable HCV RNA at day 30 of therapy. RVR represents the clinical endpoint that best predicts SVR cure rates. As a point of reference, the landmark IDEAL Study of 3,070 HCV genotype-1 patients documented that only 10.35% (n=318/3070) of PR treated patients will achieve a RVR. However, patients that achieved a RVR had SVR rates of 86.2% (n=274/318) versus SVR rates of 32.5% (n=897/2752) in non-RVR patients.
Data from three patients were not included in the reported dataset. Among the three patients was a genotype-5 patient who discontinued PR therapy at day 180, yet remained undetectable at 1.5 years after initiation of therapy. The second was a genotype-3 patient who was unable to tolerate PR therapy and, as a result, discontinued PR therapy at day-90, yet was still undetectable one year after initiating therapy. The third patient, who had the genotype-1 virus, was reported undetectable at the completion of the 48-week PR treatment regimen, but SVR results are not due on that patient until September of this year.
"It appears the intermittent application of Hemopurifier® therapy during just the first three days of a 48-week interferon regimen can significantly influence treatment outcomes," stated Aethlon Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce. "We now look forward to the clinical advancement of Hemopurifier® protocols against infectious viral pathogens and cancer indications in the United States."
About Aethlon Medical, Inc.
Aethlon Medical creates innovative medical devices to address life-threatening diseases. The Aethlon ADAPT™ (Adaptive Dialysis-like Affinity Platform Technology) establishes the basis for a new class of therapeutics that target the rapid elimination of disease enabling particles from the circulatory system of treated patients. The lead Aethlon ADAPT™ product is the Hemopurifier®, a device that addresses a broad-spectrum of viral pathogens as well as tumorsecreted exosomes that suppress the immune system of cancer patients. Aethlon is also operating under two government contracts with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) related the development of a medical device to reduce the incidence of sepsis. Exosome Sciences, Inc. is a majority owned Aethlon subsidiary that is advancing exosome-based strategies to diagnose and monitor cancer and infectious disease progression.
