Group, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Company"), and Gustin Foods, LLC, a
California limited liability company ("Consultant").

RECITALS

        A.    The Company is in the business of developing, manufacturing,

and selling branded nutrition and food products.

        C.    The Company desires to retain the services of Consultant and
Consultant desires to provide consulting services to the Company, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
set forth in this Agreement, the Company and Consultant hereby agree as follows:

        1.    Retention as Consultant; Consultant Services.    

        a.    Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement,
the Company hereby engages Consultant and Consultant hereby agrees to perform
consulting services for the Company during the Term (as defined herein) of this
Agreement relating to the Company's development, marketing and selling of joint
care products under the Company's Move Free brand name (the "Business").
Consultant may perform consulting services at its office or other location, but
shall be available to attend meetings and report on its activities at reasonable
times upon reasonable request.

        b.    Consultant is and shall be an independent contractor which,
subject to the terms hereof, shall have sole control of the manner and means of
performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Consultant shall not have,
nor shall the Consultant claim, suggest or imply that the Consultant has, any
right, power or authority to enter into any contract or obligation on behalf of,
or binding upon, the Company or any of its representatives, nor shall Consultant
represent himself as having any employment position with the Company.

        c.    Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Consultant will
provide to the President of the Company written portfolio, marketing and
positioning strategies, recommendations and courses of action regarding the
Business (the "Recommendations") on or before February 1, 2003. The Company may
accept or decline to implement the Recommendations in its sole discretion. If
the Company agrees to accept and implement the Recommendations, Consultant
agrees to assist the Company in the implementation of the Recommendations.

        d.    The Company understands and recognizes that Consultant provides
consulting services on various food, beverage, nutrition and other products and
that the Consultant may engage in other activities as an employee of or
consultant to other parties; provided, however, Consultant agrees that during
the Term (as defined herein) of this Agreement, neither Consultant nor Mr. David
Gustin will provide consulting or employment services to a third party (i) which
are inconsistent with Mr. Gustin's duties as a director of the Company or
(ii) relating to joint care products.

result thereof the Sales for the Business for Fiscal 05 are between $105 million
