It's been nearly 5 years coming this November, since we first started working with byhealth ,still waiting for blue cup approval, its getting frustrating
By-Health were ready to launch there first Fruitflow product in the second half of 2017 before deciding Blue Cap was the best way to go with it.
Studies in China were then required for Blue Cap submission and the last we were told was that BY-HEALTH were intending to make its first submission to the SAMR for Fruitflow® in February 2019. We all know that Blue Cap registration can be a slow process and the time scale is out with By-Healths control, 2 to 3 years has been quoted in previous info posted on here.
This is were it gets a bit vague . Currently there are 27 health functions in China most of which are not applicable to Fruitflow. One that is is "Assisting blood pressure reduction" and By-Health have a patent for a product that contains fruitflow to facilitate blood pressure reduction.
https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2020077747&_cid=P11-KJGTMR-22408-1
https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=CN238963528&_cid=P11-KJGTMR-22408-1
So a blood pressure reduction product would be a prime candidate (IMO) for the first Blue Cap submission.
We have been told By-Health will launch "a number of Fruitflow based products" but what health function out of the list of 27 can they then use?
In my opinion By-Health are not only in the process of obtaining Blue Cap for a fruitflow product but also trying to get a new health function into the Health Function Directory. What that will be I don't know but something like assisting the reduction of platelet aggregation might open up a lot more opportunities for Fruitflow in China.
All we can do is wait.

Research progress
In recent years, the company has taken "Fruitflow® (water-soluble tomato concentrate)" as its main direction, focusing on the development of new functional products that help maintain cardiovascular health.
The project brought together domestic authoritative scientific research resources such as the Institute of Chinese Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and the School of Public Health of Sun Yat-Sen University, and adopted By-Health ® Xinluo Su Tablets (the main functional ingredients are the same as those approved by EFSA, all are water-soluble tomato concentrates). Experimental samples, refer to domestic and foreign literature and methods approved and published by EFSA, and conducted in-depth investigations around related issues, and finally determined to establish a new function of "help maintain normal platelet aggregation and contribute to healthy blood flow". Animal function test evaluation of health food Methods and evaluation methods of the population test.
At present, this method has been repeatedly verified in Beijing Hospital, Peking University Third Hospital, Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University and other domestic research institutions. The test results prove that the method has wide applicability, easy operation and detection. The results are reproducible. The project seeks safer antiplatelet substances to maintain normal platelet aggregation, reduces the risk factors for the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases, and makes an effective exploration for the research on new functions of health foods and the profound significance of maintaining public health.
In the future, the Institute will carry out more exploration and research in health areas such as reducing the end-products of glycosylation in the body to meet the health needs of different populations in different life cycles.

With the gradual improvement of national residents' living standards and health awareness, as an important part of the "Healthy China" strategy, it is imperative to conduct research on new functions of health foods.
The new function of health food is a health function that is not within the scope of the current health function published by the State Food and Drug Administration, and is fundamentally different from the name of the current health function and its functional evaluation method.
In order to better meet people's health needs, the Institute integrates the resources of authoritative nutrition and health research institutions at home and abroad, and continuously explores the innovative research field of "new functions, new materials, and new technologies", and has been in the field of new functional products for cardiovascular health. Achieved certain results.
Research Background
In 2009, EFSA approved the first health claim study on "Water-soluble tomato concentrate helps maintain normal platelet aggregation and helps healthy blood flow". This is the first product that has passed the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Act 13.5 on the claims of new functions, and has been approved by EFSA's first new health care function. The scientific opinion issued by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) in 2011 pointed out that cardiovascular health function claims include adjusting blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, maintaining normal endothelial function, and reducing platelet aggregation. In this scientific opinion, it is pointed out that "in subjects with higher cardiovascular (CV) risk factors (such as smokers, hypercholesterolemia subjects, obesity, diabetes), their platelets are prone to be overactive and hypercoagulable. And it is closely related to the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis and its complications.
In the 2018 China Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment and Management Guidelines, increased platelet aggregation has been listed as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the development of different interventions against platelet aggregation has now become a goal of maintaining cardiovascular health. Among them, the research on the new functions of health food in the cardiovascular field has extremely high necessity and feasibility.
Hi gixer,
Thanks for the informative post. So what conclusions you made out of all these?
DP64 "So what conclusions you made out of all these?"
As I said in my previous post this is just my opinion but would explain the "and they provide strong evidence for
By-Health in its blue cap and other regulatory submissions to the SAMR for Fruitflow" statement in the interim results.
In my opinion By-Health are not only in the process of obtaining Blue Cap for a fruitflow product but also trying to get a new health function into the Health Function Directory.
Gixer,
Some of your "research" findings have been amazing and we all have to thank you for that. In all probability they have kept me locked in as a LTH and, at times like now, have even tempted me to by more.
I am not trying to ramp or deramp the Company but some of the recent "stuff" that has been released has been interesting to say the least:

Slam01,
Thanks.
I just hope that some of my recent posts show that By-Health seem to be spending a lot of time, effort and cash on Fruitflow and its not just a "gimmick" as someone said earlier.
Hi gixer,
Thanks for the update. Lets hope something will turn up sooner rather than later. All the best for LTH
Your recent posting about the additional Patents in the US can only be good news and can only indicate a potentially growing market on the other side of the pond. TBH I can't understand why this news didn't warrant an RNS.
The initial Abstract posted on the Provexis website on 25th June 2021 seems to indicate that fruitflow could potentially control a wider range of conditions.
The latest two abstracts (one in the UK and one in China) seems to indicate that Fruitflow might have a positive impact in the Covid environment - maybe we might also see some further investigations/trials either in this country or in China and maybe pointing to the anti thrombosis benefits of Fruitflow.
Who knows and as you say - only time will tell.
Not new, but supports gixer's hypothesis re new blue cap category

Research comprehensively in the cardiovascular health area. We have developed a new product made with Fruitflow®, popularly known as “natural Aspirin”. It helps to maintain normal platelet aggregation;
