Exhibit 99.1

 

Interleukin Genetics To Offer Its Innovative Inflammation Management Program

To Amway Employees

 

Interleukin Genetics To Provide Integrated Program of Genetic Risk Assessment and

Patient Engagement To Support Better Health

 

WALTHAM, MA – July 12, 2016 – Interleukin Genetics, Inc. (OTCQB: ILIU), a life sciences company focused on the genetics of chronic inflammation announced today that it has signed an agreement with Amway, a leading direct selling company, to provide Interleukin’s PerioPredict® Genetic Risk Test and Patient Engagement Platform to Amway’s employees as part of an enhanced employee benefits plan. Under terms of the agreement, Interleukin Genetics will make PerioPredict available to Amway’s approximately 5,000 employees in the US. The program is expected to begin in September 2016.

 

PerioPredict identifies individuals at increased risk for severe periodontitis due to a genetic tendency to over-produce inflammation, so employees can enhance preventive care and better manage chronic inflammation. PerioPredict is supported by an interactive communications platform customized to each individual’s risk profile, behavioral tendencies and personal preferences. The combined program provides genetic insights to enable targeted treatment plans and delivers engaging personalized content tailored to maximize participant engagement. The program is designed to transform the management of an individual’s inflammation and promote wellness.

“We are excited to provide PerioPredict as a covered benefit to our employees,” said Claire Groen, VP Global Compensation & Benefits “Through access to this test and the supporting educational engagement platform, our employees have an option to be more involved in understanding their own individual results, so they may take proactive steps toward disease prevention to enhance their overall health and wellness. We are looking forward to partnering with Interleukin Genetics on this important program at Amway.”

 

“We are very pleased to announce the implementation of our PerioPredict program with Amway, a global leader and true innovator in the health and wellness industry,” said Mark Carbeau, Chief Executive Officer of Interleukin. “Our relationship with Amway is another demonstration of executing on our strategy to partner with progressive employers who see value to integrating dental and medical science into a more holistic approach to health. We look forward to continuing to expand this important genetic test and engagement platform.”

 

About PerioPredict

PerioPredict is an innovative, easy-to-use genetic test that identifies individuals with an increased risk for severe and progressive periodontitis, due to a life-long genetic predisposition to over-produce Interleukin-1 (IL-1), a key mediator of inflammation. Such individuals may benefit from enhanced dental care to prevent or treat periodontitis and thereby lower their systemic inflammatory burden. Targeted management of systemic inflammation has been shown to help manage several chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease. The PerioPredict test is made available to employees in covered health plans under the supervision of a licensed dentist or physician, and the results provide important information to dental professionals for assessing prevention and treatment options for their patients. The PerioPredict test is run solely in Interleukin’s CLIA-certified lab in Waltham, MA. For more information, please visit www.PerioPredict.com.
