(the “ Company ” or “ BTI ”) (OTCQB:BTHE), an innovator in the design, development and commercialization of novel therapeutics as an adjunct therapy for diabetes, launches the initial sales and marketing of cross border products in China via one of the largest e-commerce platform: Tao Bao. Newly manufactured Sugardown ® chewable tablets have been received in China in Jan 2019 to support the launching of product by an elite e-marketing group (JD Jin Long) in China. The campaign, which features a series of promotional offers, will be the e-focus to drive sales for the next four weeks. A total of 5,000 units have been allocated for this initial sales launch.

Ongoing clinical development support in the USA and Asia will continue to be performed as we expand the safety and efficacy portfolio of the investigational product. In addition, efforts for seeking a collaborative partner for the marketing of the product in India and other SE Asian countries including the Philippines continues in 2019. CEO, Carl W Rausch commented on the significance of sales support from its Asian partners. “We are pleased with the on-going advancement of Boston Therapeutics, particularly with the revenue stream from Sugardown ® sales in Asia.
