Bearing in mind that 50% of complementary medicines in Australia are sold through medical recommendations and in pharmacies(1), we are seeking a strategic alliance with a major local partner in order to commercialize NKO(R) in these targeted markets. In order to support penetration in this new market, Neptune expects to be actively participating in the near future with such a partner in a series of medical conventions, seminars and media conferences to introduce the scientific data, clinical research and health benefits of NKO(R) to physicians and other hea
