The probiotic microbial strains used in the product formulation are "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS status), according to the regulations of U.S. FDA. The company is also exploring the option of conducting additional large scale multi-site human clinical trials on persons afflicted with CKD III/IV (pre-dialysis) stages. Subject to positive outcomes towards improving kidney function; these additional human clinical trials will help gain greater recognition and acceptance by consumers and healthcare professionals worldwide.
About Uremic Toxin Reduction Technology – Also known as "Enteric Dialysis®": Kibow's novel "uremic toxin removal technology" addresses the diffusion of various uremic toxins into the bowel as a consequence of failing kidney function. The Company's patented and proprietary dietary supplements, Renadyl™ (for CKD patients) and Azodyl® for cats and dogs with moderate to severe kidney failure (a veterinary formulation licensed to Vetoquinol (http://www.vetoquinolusa.com/) consists of a combination of three specific probiotic microbial strains and chosen prebiotics.
Forward-looking statements: This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect management's current views of future events, including the status of proposed conducting additional large scale multi-site human clinical trials on persons afflicted with CKD III/IV (pre-dialysis) stages. Although a dietary supplement, the Renadyl™ product formulation has been developed with a pharma like validation. Additional clinical trials and documenting the products efficacy could potentially poise for a medical reimbursement like prenatal Vitamins and enteral nutritional supplement products. The strategy is to seek medical reimbursement development of the dietary supplement formulation, Renadyl™, for kidney health in the USA and the possibility of its approval as a drug in some other countries according to respective governmental authorities.

Other factors that could cause or contribute to differences in actual results include, but are not limited to, whether or not the Company or any of its collaborators will be able to develop drug pathway using the technologies of the Company, whether the cash resources of the Company will be sufficient to fund operations as planned; reliance on key employees, especially senior management; the uncertainty of the Company's future access to capital; the risk that the Company may not secure or maintain relationships with collaborators, and the Company's dependence on intellectual property.
