"Considering the very tight regulatory control by the TGA, obtaining complementary medicine approval and the quarantine permit constitute a major breakthrough for Neptune in Australia and New Zealand," she added.

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.
