[quote=Brian Hill on May 28]I believe we are within 30-60 days of having product from the new manufacturer that will meet all of our requirements. We tried their last samples a week ago, they are in product packaging design now, and then the printing of the tubes and filling. I will keep you all updated as I hear more from them. [/quote]

Has anyone heard an update on this? I haven't seen any changes in the products currently on the store shelves.

They are still waiting on their FDA approval. The product development is done, packaging designed, and the FDA is the usual hold up. I will let you all know when I know. I am expecting that they will make a bunch available to the foundation, which we can make available to you. Remember I am not in control of any of this, just passing on what I know each time.

My dentist recommended I try a product she knew about, BioXtra. Looks like a Canadian company.


Does anybody have any good information about these people?
