SCHIFF NUTRITION INTERNATIONAL, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2006

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Salt Lake City, Utah, March 30, 2006: Schiff Nutrition International, Inc. (formerly Weider Nutrition International, Inc.), (NYSE: WNI), today announced results for the fiscal 2006 third quarter and nine months ended February 28, 2006.

Schiff Nutrition’s net sales were $49.6 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006, compared to $45.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2005. For its fiscal 2006 third quarter, Schiff Nutrition reported net income of $3.2 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period a year ago.

Schiff Nutrition’s net sales were $133.1 million for both the nine months ended February 28, 2006, and the comparable period in fiscal 2005. For the first nine months of fiscal 2006, Schiff Nutrition reported net income of $9.7 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to $8.4 million, or $0.32 per share, for the same period a year ago.

Bruce Wood, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We were encouraged by our overall 9.9 percent sales increase versus the year ago quarter, driven by our 29 percent increase in branded sales. At the same time, we experienced improvement in our gross margin, which along with the strong sales increase, contributed to the significant increase in earnings.”

Wood continued, “We were also pleased with initial marketplace reaction to our Move Free^® Advanced Formula launch during the quarter, based on our sales results and consumer point of sale data. Move Free Advanced has reached the retail shelves of many of our customers. We initiated marketing support of the Move Free Advanced Formula in February, and we expect the level of investment to accelerate in the fiscal fourth quarter. We remain confident that our continued strategic focus on profitable branded growth will positively impact fiscal 2007 and beyond.”
