BAZI® International Management Comments on Energy Drink Claims

DENVER, July 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BAZI International, Inc. (OTCBB: BAZI) announced today that it is aggressively answering and supporting the call for tighter regulations regarding the many concerns surrounding energy drink claims and ingredients.

Senator Dick Durbin (Illinois) recently stated, "People using dietary supplements have the right to know the potential risks. Some ingredients may be safe for the general population but introduce risks for groups like children or pregnant women, or they should be avoided by people with health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. In addition, some of these supplements, such as energy drinks, which are heavily marketed to young adults, are being taken in large doses by consumers who aren't aware of the potentially dangerous side effects."

BAZI, unlike many other products is encouraging the consumer to not only read the label but become a more educated consumer.  BAZI intends to lead the charge in educating the consumer that "healthy energy" exists and can be found conclusively in its 2 oz shot.

"The backlash from both the consumer and medical field is getting louder and louder regarding energy drink ingredients and potential side effects. BAZI is determined to turn the tide and embrace the criticism with a straight forward response: BAZI is more than energy!" stated Debbie Wildrick, CEO of BAZI. "BAZI is intelligent energy, it does not rely on excessive amounts of caffeine, vitamin B12 or sugar but rather the enormous efficacy of antioxidants found in superfruits as its primary delivery system for daily energy."

"As a former educational administrator I am convinced that the energy drink market is on the rise amongst our youth; however, the concern lies in the fact that there is no identifiable therapeutic benefit to children with many of the existing energy drinks. BAZI delivers energy and nutrition the way Mother Nature intended by nitrifying the cells rather than an artificial stimulant rush," stated Kevin Sherman, President of BAZI.
