HONOLULU, Dec. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardax (OTCQB: CDXI) announced today that Gilbert Shin has joined Cardax as Vice President, Retail Sales and Marketing, a new position for the Company. Mr. Shin will lead the Company's recently announced national rollout of ZanthoSyn® to the more than 3,000 corporate stores across the U.S. owned and operated by GNC Holdings, Inc. ("GNC").

Mr. Shin most recently served as the Regional Sales Director for GNC in Hawaii. In his nearly 20-year career at GNC, Mr. Shin built Hawaii into the top performing GNC region in the country.

"I am very excited to be a part of Cardax," said Mr. Shin, "and look forward to translating the extraordinary success achieved in Hawaii with ZanthoSyn to the entire U.S."

"We are very pleased that Gil chose to join Cardax after retiring from GNC as he had planned for some time," said David G. Watumull, Cardax CEO. "His demonstrated accomplishments with GNC in general and ZanthoSyn in particular bring an important skill-set to Cardax as we expand ZanthoSyn sales and marketing nationwide. We will also look to Gil to lead our retail sales efforts for future products as well."

Mr. Shin will work closely with the Company's senior executive team to execute Cardax's ZanthoSyn marketing and sales strategy. Together, they will focus on synergistically combining ZanthoSyn national retail marketing with the Company's physician awareness program.
