I found this statement in the results intriguing
"In collaboration with DSM a trial batch of Fruitflow+ nitrates development products was manufactured during the year and sold to DSM."
Who did the selling ? Did DSM sell to itself ? Who supplied the nitrates ? SiS ?

Longer term I expect By Health shall set up their own in country FF production
- makes sense as China is the biggest tomato producer

Google Scholar alert for Fruitflow flagged this paper today, published last week . All about platelets but unable to get free read of paper to see whether FF actually mentioned

Coagulopathy is an evident complication of COVID-19 with predominance of a prothrombotic state. Platelet activation plays a key role. The terms “hyper-reactivity” and “hyperactivity” used in recent literature may not be clear or sufficient to explain the pathological events involved in COVID-related thrombosis (CRT). Inflammation may play a bigger role compared to thrombosis in COVID-related mortality because a smaller percentage of patients with COVID-19 die due to direct effects of thrombosis. Not all COVID-19 patients have thrombocytopenia and a few show thrombocytosis. We believe the platelet pathology is more complex than just activation or hyper-activation, particularly due to the platelets’ role in inflammation. Understanding the pathology and consequences of platelets’ role may help optimize management strategies and diminish CRT-associated morbidity and mortality. In this viewpoint report, we examine the published evidence of platelet hyper-reactivity in COVID-19 with a focused analysis of the key pathologies, diverse alterations, disease outcomes, and therapeutic targets. We believe that COVID-19 is a disease of inflammation and pathologic platelets, and based on the complexity and diverse pathologies, we propose the term “thrombocytopathy” as a more reflective term of the platelets’ involvement in COVID-19. In our opinion, thrombocytopathy is the unpredictable pathologic alterations of platelets in function, morphology and number, caused by different factors with a variety of presentations.

Lots in news: Covid: Trigger of rare blood clots with AstraZeneca jab found by scientists

Seems to involve platelet factor 4. This study says FF suppresses PF4. Way beyond my paygrade to understand whether taking FF would be beneficial in reducing the risk. Can only assume IF/Felix/NK/Prof are on top of this !!
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/346593847_Inhibitory_effect_of_Fruitflow_on_platelet_function_a_randomized_placebo-controlled_trial_in_elderly_subjects
Fruitflow suppressed platelet aggregation and decreased TXB2, 6-keto-PGF1a, and PF4 levels in elderly subjects. These findings indicate that FF might reduce the risk of thrombosis in cardiovascular diseases. Trial registration code: ChiCTR2000034647 at www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Anything out there from US ?
It all seems to be happening in India/Asia. Given it is the biggest market, it is disappointing it has been radio silence from the US. We have the patents but it seems little/no traction over there re products aside from Brickerlabs and Swanson that have been around for years.

Well they said work from home if possible, so we brought the Stena Don to Belfast!
But in realality with tough weather windows and a tight deadline we found Belfast a great stop on our way to Morocco for some client acceptance and a large crew change.
Only made possible with the co-operation of my old colleagues in the Belfast Harbour and Harbour Master Kevin Allen with agents Doyle Shipping Group and McMullan Marine.
Really enjoyed seeing the reaction on social media and happy to be able to share some photos. Even manged to capture the Stena Scotia on her way into port.
Safe voyage Stena Don #stenadrilling #belfast #onedreamoneteam #stenaline

"however never think that it will be them that needs to get a precautionary supplement in their older age"
The thing about FF is that its benefits are tangible. From experience I know some who take it purely because it stops them nodding off mid afternoon at work, and others because their feet are no longer cold. They wouldn't be without it
The trick is to get people to try it so they can see the benefit themselves.
Smaller packs (7?) might be easier to temp people to try.
I'm ambivalent re DSM, on one hand the patents weren't in place, on the other if they wanted to they could have put FF logo on Team DSM shirt (where there's a will....).

lol
if you have access to money you can do anything - look at HBR.
At this point we don't have a pot to P in though.
I hope the AGM is in Aberdeen again

The other issue we simply do not have the supply chain in place .......
H&B ? Would prefer to get on supermarket shelves if there was a marketing push. He who must not be named managed to get SiS in Tescos and LIDLs as well as many other places.
Run a youtube query, pathetic

Perhaps he's putting a bid together for Neptune......

Was wondering if anyone who at AGM got a vibe. The SP is holding up nicely as if expecting imminent news.
I suspect BH drove the 2023 deal - ensures DSM are out for the picture for BH territory when BH do buy us out.
W$
I guess the next expected piece of news is the outcome of negotiations as to what will happen re FF supply outside BH sphere of influence. Anyone picked up on timings when we should expect to hear whether DSM agreement is renewed or someone else is signed up.
