Interesting news here..

My thoughts are that we may not see much news related to the condom deals until the contraceptive effects are supported thru efficacy trials.. and given that we are not yet in phase 2 trials.. this may still be quite some time. Others' thoughts?

Now, this potential new application to arthritis and osteoarthritis is especially exciting! With an aging boomer population and 90% of them having some degree of arthritis, the world demand will continue to rise remarkably -especially for a product that brings good relief. And, talk about possible quick path to market.. with the "topical" safety studies already completed.. SPL7013 being shown to be safe on men and women (mucus membranes).. and w/FDA approval in the wings; it would seem that the path to market for a slightly altered version in a hand cream would be quite easy.. and very quick, eh. Quicker than the the already "accelorated" condom coating application.

And what about this improvement to aesthetic appearance of the skin? How is this claim supported? What activity was observed to draw this conclusion I wonder? Sounds like we may be gearing up for an "over-the-counter" miracle cream, eh? SPL7013, "Kangaroo Tail Oil -better than Snake Oil; makes you look younger and eases pain in your joints"..
Just dont tell me to add it to my coffee in the morning to give me more energy.. lol.
