Bracknell, UK - 7 July 2014: Venture Life Group plc (AIM: VLG), the international consumer self-care group focused on developing, manufacturing and commercialising products for the ageing population, announces that it has signed a second long-term distribution agreement with an existing partner for the distribution rights to NeuroAge™ NRG and NeuroAge™ Sleep, the Group's two new line extensions for the NeuroAge™ range.

The agreement has been signed with Elpen who already own the distribution rights to NeuroAge™ in Greece and who launched NeuroAge™ in Greece in 2013.   Market launch of NeuroAge™ NRG and NeuroAge™ Sleep in Greece is expected in Q1 2015.

Jerry Randall, Chief Executive Officer of Venture Life, commented:

"We are delighted that Elpen has signed a further distribution agreement for the two new line extensions to NeuroAge. The signing of this agreement by Elpen is not only an endorsement of our product development strategy but it also reflects the strong start that NeuroAge has achieved in Greece since its market launch."
