Boston Therapeutics, Inc. (BTHE-OTCQB), a developer of complex carbohydrate therapeutics to treat diabetes and inflammatory diseases, has appointed Meng Hee Tan, M.D. to serve as its Consulting Medical Director and a member of its Medical Advisory Team. Dr. Tan is expected to help guide the Company's development of its diabetes-related treatments.

Boston Therapeutics, Inc. (BTHE-OTCQB), a developer of complex carbohydrate therapeutics to treat diabetes, announced that it signed a clinical trial agreement with the prestigious Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston to be the lead clinic for the Company’s Phase III study of its candidate BTI-320.

BTI-320, a new generation of alpha glucosidase inhibitor, is a non-systemic chewable tablet designed to reduce post-meal elevation of blood glucose. BTI-320 is designed to be taken before meals and works in the gastrointestinal tract to block the action of carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes that break down carbohydrates into glucose and release it into the bloodstream.

Boston Therapeutics (BTHE-OTC), a developer of compounds that address blood sugar management and inflammatory disease, has announced the signing of a strategic marketing agreement with Benchworks SD, LLC, a branding and marketing agency, aimed at increasing brand awareness and sales of SUGARDOWN®.
 
SUGARDOWN is Boston Therapeutics’ currently marketed dietary supplement that, when taken prior to meals, supports a reduction in the post-meal elevation in glucose resulting in healthy blood sugar levels. Clinical studies conducted at the University of Sydney in Australia indicated that the consumption of SUGARDOWN prior to a high carbohydrate meal of rice resulted in lower incremental area under the curve (iAUC) measurements for glucose and insulin, indicating a reduction in post-meal elevation of blood glucose and insulin when compared with the control group.
 
Benchworks plans to maximize brand recognition by positioning SUGARDOWN as an adjunct to diet and exercise, beyond the current intended use as a dietary supplement, to better manage blood sugar levels. Benchworks plans to take a three-pronged approach in order to broaden awareness of the potential benefits of SUGARDOWN and increase brand recognition: (1) increase awareness among people who may be at risk of developing diabetes and their caregivers; (2) create a bond with healthcare educators and nutritionists who would recommend SUGARDOWN for their patients; and (3) strengthen SUGARDOWN’s medical profile by continuing to build on new data from additional clinical trial results and new scientific findings.
