Cardax Inks Deal to Distribute ZanthoSyn® in China

HONOLULU, Feb. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardax, Inc. (OTCQB: CDXI) announced today that it has signed a Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Health Elite Club Limited ("HECL") of Hong Kong for distribution of ZanthoSyn^®, the Company's premium astaxanthin dietary supplement for inflammatory health and longevity, in China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan (the "Territories").

HECL is a Hong Kong based company founded by a group of entrepreneurs who are strong proponents of healthy aging. It is a membership-based, invitation-only club targeting high net worth / high-profile Chinese from the greater China area as the foundation for building large-scale consumer awareness. As is the custom in China, most sales will occur through an online platform.

ZanthoSyn^® will be distributed in the Territories under HECL's house brand, Puerfons, with all packaging and marketing materials to feature the ZanthoSyn^® brand. HECL is responsible for all regulatory approvals in the Territories and the Agreement is governed by the laws of New York.

"We are very pleased to be working with such a highly entrepreneurial company as HECL," said David G. Watumull, Cardax President and CEO. "HECL's distribution model looks quite promising and their principals are highly credible. We look forward to building our relationship as HECL's business grows in China."

"U.S. products with scientific and manufacturing credibility such as ZanthoSyn^® are highly prized in China," said Li Wu, Chairman of HECL," and we are excited to bring Puerfons ZanthoSyn^® into this important market. "With China's increasing industrialization and associated pollution challenges, inflammatory health, with its relationship to longevity, is increasingly important, especially to its rapidly growing aging population."

The agreement with HECL reflects Cardax's mission to develop and commercialize the safest, most effective anti-inflammatory products for health and longevity. Cardax is also developing and commercializing CDX-085, its next generation patented ZanthoSyn^® product for more concentrated astaxanthin product applications. CDX-085 was chosen by the National Institutes of Health as a top anti-aging prospect.

"This expansion into China is another key building block of our goal to become the inflammatory health, anti-aging leader," added George W. Bickerstaff, Cardax Chairman.

Separately, Cardax announced that ZanthoSyn^® is also available in GNC stores in Guam, where the Company will utilize the successful physician education and GNC outreach programs used in Hawaii to grow awareness in the local community and among Guam's many Asian visitors.
