Applied Food Sciences
-- AFS -- Becomes Exclusive Distributor of D-Glucarate
Products
AUSTIN, Texas--(BW HealthWire)--Dec. 3, 2001--Applied
Food Sciences (AFS) has announced that it has become
the exclusive distributor of Calcium D-Glucarate and
Potassium D-Glucarate products to the nutritional
supplement industry.
AFS acquired these rights from BioChemix Inc., the
holder of the Glucarate patents.
Earlier this fall, BioChemix entered into an agreement
with Nutraceutix Inc., a licensee of certain Calcium
D-Glucarate patent claims, to discontinue marketing
and selling the product. Furthermore, last week BioChemix
amicably terminated the Calcium D-Glucarate marketing
and distribution activities of its joint venture partner,
Glucona, based in Janesville, Wis.
Both of these transactions have allowed BioChemix to
appoint AFS as the exclusive distributor of patented
D-Glucarate products.
AFS will continue supplying high quality D-Glucarate
products, such as patented Calcium D-Glucarate and
Preventium® Potassium D-Glucarate, to customers,
and Lyndon C. Johnson, vice president of sales and
marketing, will continue handling D-Glucarate sales
for AFS. For more information on Calcium D-Glucarate
or Preventium®, contact Johnson at 480/985-9926.
