Emisphere already sits on a crown jewel that I believe should have EMIS in a much larger spotlight. That crown jewel is the successful FDA GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) approval granted to Emisphere's high dosage oral B12 pill last year. I believe that once you understand the importance of B12 you'll see the value in Emisphere's oral B12 pill.
Forty percent of the U.S. population suffers from some degree of vitamin B deficiency. It can cause strokes, heart attacks, dementia and depression, along with many other ailments. B12 deficiency is a major health concern to all of us. B12 is a nutrient that helps keep the body's nerve and blood cells healthy. Vitamin B12 is found in animal and dairy products such as poultry, meat, fish, eggs, and milk. These foods are more difficult to digest the older we become hence many elderly find it harder to obtain their daily allowances of vitamin B12.
Anyone that lacks sufficient B12 levels usually visits a doctor once a month to receive an injection. The truth is many people don't have the discipline or the desire to see a doctor, or want to be pricked with a needle in the buttocks once a month. As a result, researchers found a nasal delivery for Vitamin B12 however the nasal is usually just maintenance not a replacement for an injection. This is where Emisphere proved their technology is superior and should open the door to wide adoption of B12. Their Eligen high dosage pill is the equivalent to a shot and some believe it could even be better than a shot. A barn burner whenever you can replace an injection with a pill. I believe once it hits the market EMIS will deliver results.
I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis..
