Vanc Pharmaceuticals Provides Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 22, 2015) - Vanc Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Vanc" or the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:NPH)(OTCQB:NUVPF), a pharmaceutical company focused on the Canadian generic drug and over-the-counter (OTC) markets, is pleased to provide a corporate update on the activities and progress of the Company over the past three months.

"The key areas in which we have made progress thus far are the commercialization of our generic drug molecules, shipment of our first molecule during the final week of Q2-2015 and the strengthening of our balance sheet with over $3,000,000 in cash injections from warrant exercises during the previous two quarters. As of early September we currently have a portfolio of 12 molecules ready for sale in British Columbia (BC) and many pharmacies have placed orders," said Arun Nayyar, CEO of Vanc.

The Company has ramped up sales efforts in BC given the size of the portfolio and will be commencing commercialization in additional Canadian jurisdictions during Q4-2015. Additional updates on Provincial formulary listings and the roll-out in other Provinces will be provided over the coming months.

The Company has spent considerable time reviewing potential additions to its generic and OTC (over-the-counter) portfolio and is in negotiations to potentially in-license both niche generic molecules and novel OTC products.

Vanc Pharmaceuticals Inc.
