Boston Therapeutics, Inc. Expands Partnership with APC to Distribute in Korea

New Introduction Strategies in Asia/US to Generate Awareness of CGM importance

LAWRENCE, Mass., Dec. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Following the extension of the licensing and distribution agreement with Asian based partner, Advance Pharmaceutical Company Limited (APC), a registered formulation, marketed as a food supplement under the name SUGARBALANCE is currently available in Korea.  This significant shipment marks a start to the sales of SUGARBALANCE in the territory.

According to Carl W Rausch, CEO, the adoption of a safe, novel treatment for sugar excesses sets the stage for the introduction of SUGARDOWN® (SUGARBLOCK, SUGARBALANCE in other Asia Pacific markets) in this growing market. “This shipment marks the introduction of an innovative regimen to the treatment and management of post prandial blood sugar elevations and the immediate intervention that delay disease related metabolic syndromes.” Backed by clinical evidence obtained in recently completed trial (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02358668), APC is confident in their ability to make an impact on health economics in this country and the other 12 countries in which they are positioned to penetrate.

The company anticipates growing sales performance as the awareness of CGM (continuous glucose monitoring devices, Abbott, Medtronic, Dexcom) continue to establish educational material of this important blood glucose measure. We intend to address this in local languages and foster distribution channels in these underserved populations.  According to the Korean Diabetes association, 6.6 million people in Korea are affected by diabetes and prediabetes. This indicates that 1 in every 5 Koreans are affected with the metabolic disease (http://pulsenews.co.kr/view.php?year=2017&no=216297). SUGARDOWN®, SUGARBALANCE, is the type of healthy lifestyle management aid that we believe can have a major impact on disease progression and may become an important part of a pre-diabetes regimen as shown by data presented earlier this year at the 77th ADA conference.
