SAN MARCOS, Calif., March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Natural Alternatives International, Inc. ("NAI") (Nasdaq: NAII), a leading formulator, manufacturer and marketer of customized nutritional supplements, today announced that the Swissmedic Authority of Bern, Switzerland has granted to NAI's subsidiary, Natural Alternatives International Europe, S.A., ("NAIE"), a second pharmaceutical license. This additional license allows NAIE to manufacture, import and export pharmaceuticals for sale both in Switzerland and internationally and will remain valid until January of 2009.

Dr. Fausto Petrini, Managing Director of NAIE stated, "NAIE, operating in Lugano, Switzerland, recently completed expansion of its manufacturing facility to include powder filling capabilities. Obtaining this additional pharmaceutical licensure certifies that our expanded operations conform to current Good Manufacturing Practices. We anticipate this licensure and our new capabilities will further improve our ability to develop relationships with new customers."

NAI Chairman of the Board and CEO, Mark A. Le Doux, stated, "In many countries around the world the manufacture of dietary supplements requires medicinal licensure. This provides assurance to consumers that they will receive high quality products. Achieving this milestone of receiving pharmaceutical licensure from the Swiss Federal government exemplifies the leadership and dedication of our teams in Lugano, Switzerland and the United States and their commitment to providing our customers with the highest quality manufacturing expertise."

NAI President Randell Weaver added, "Due to the timing of customer orders, we anticipate revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 will be in line to slightly lower than revenue from the third quarter of the prior year. The timing of customer orders combined with third quarter investments in regulatory compliance and improvements in customer service may result in lower profitability than previously anticipated."
