(ABI) (OTC.BB:AMAR - News) today announced that it has formed an alliance with Bio-Stasis International, Inc., a dietary supplement internet marketer, to launch Bio-Stasis International's Virapress.

Virapress is a dietary supplement derived from a bovine protein extract produced by ABI and will be marketed with claims to improve health and enhance immunity.
