Biocidin Botanicals™ Launches Dentalcidin® Oral Care System, the First Dentaceutical™ Solution for Oral Microbiome Health

Biocidin Botanicals

Biocidin Botanicals ™, a pioneer in botanical supplements and microbiome health, announced today the launch of its two-step Dentalcidin ® Oral Care System. The system consists of the company’s reformulated and repackaged Dentalcidin® Oral Microbiome Toothpaste along with its Dentalcidin® LS Liposomal Rinse. Combining the toothpaste and oral rinse into a two-step system ensures comprehensive health benefits for customers. It also recognizes the science-backed connection between the oral microbiome and whole-body health. ( Learn more ) “We’re excited to take what we’ve learned over the past 30-plus years about microbiome health and apply it to the things we use every day, like toothpaste and mouth rinse,” said Rachel Fresco, L.Ac., Ph.D., Biocidin Botanicals’ Founder and Formulator. “Research continues to confirm that whole-body health starts in the mouth. These products are more than just toothpaste and mouthwash. We’ve coined a new term for it. They’re “Dentaceuticals ™” – natural dental formulations that improve the health of teeth and gums and ultimately support whole-body wellness. When used together, these products provide incredible health support!” Dentalcidin Oral Microbiome Toothpaste® has been available for several years. In response to customer feedback and keeping with the company’s sustainability goals, Biocidin Botanicals reformulated and repackaged the toothpaste this year, a decision that reflects its commitment to both people and planet. “As a company, we believe our choices matter,” Fresco said. “We care about our customers and listen to them. We also constantly evaluate our impact on the planet. That’s why we made the decision to reformulate the toothpaste to be 100% plant-based and to deliver it in a sleek, stand-up tube that is 100% recyclable. It’s easier to use and easier on the planet.” Both products in the Dentalcidin® Oral Care System are powered by the 18 botanical extracts and essential oils in Biocidin®, the company’s broad-spectrum, legacy formula. This clinically effective, evidence-based proprietary blend has been trusted by health professionals for over 32 years. Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratories (now Genova Diagnostics) called it one of the most potent natural formulations they’ve ever analyzed. With other select botanicals providing added synergy and benefits, the entire system relies on a 100% natural, plant-based, and chemical-free ingredient list to give practitioners and consumers robust health benefits derived from the best botanical sources. The Dentalcidin® Oral Care System delivers the results usually associated with toothpaste and an oral rinse. It whitens teeth, freshens breath, and is gentle enough for sensitive teeth. But thanks to Biocidin Botanicals’ commitment to putting “Serious Science Behind Every Smile™,” its benefits go far beyond. Comprehensive university research, case studies, rigorous testing, and innovative formulation processes have resulted in a system with unique health benefits. The Dentalcidin® Oral Care System: Assists in removing oral biofilms (plaque) Utilizes liposomal technology for deeper penetration in the periodontal area* Supports gum and gingival health with targeted ingredients such as CoQ10, quercetin, clove, and myrrh* Provides tissue-soothing activity* Supports oral microbiome balance for whole-body health* Keeps teeth feeling clean and smooth all-day “This system really demonstrates the power of botanicals to support a balanced oral microbiome,” Fresco said. “Because oral health directly impacts systemic health, a balanced oral microbiome also supports whole-body health, including cognitive, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and joint health. But the reverse is also true. Poor oral health impacts more than just your mouth. That motivated us to develop something uniquely powerful, an innovative Dentaceutical solution.” Dentists, dental hygienists, and integrative and functional practitioners recommend Dentalcidin® toothpaste and oral rinse. Functional dentist Dr. Ariana Ebrahimian says of the products, “I highly recommend Biocidin Botanicals’ oral care products to my patients and use the liposomal rinse in our scaling procedures. They are incredibly effective at busting up harmful biofilms in the mouth and rebalancing the oral microbiome without the harsh side effects of chemicals.” The launch of Biocidin Botanicals’ Dentalcidin™ Oral Care System is a true breakthrough in oral care, bolstering the company’s position as a thought leader and innovator in the botanical supplements space. ABOUT BIOCIDIN BOTANICALS ™ Biocidin Botanicals™ is a leader in botanical supplements and a pioneer in microbiome health. Its legacy broad-spectrum botanical blend Biocidin® was formulated in 1989 in response to challenging health conditions related to microbial imbalances. More than 30 years later, the company offers a curated line of targeted support products to boost patient health.

It All Comes Down To Science And Research With The Efficacy Of Jupiter Wellness’s Lineup Of Skin And Hair Treatment Drugs

Jupiter Wellness, Inc.

Today’s consumers are seemingly more health and wellness conscious than ever before. With the increase in social media use, there is even more emphasis placed on personal appearance, with both men and women upping their wellness game be it in skin care, hair care, general health, and wellbeing, or attempting to preserve youthfulness. Jupiter Wellness Inc. (NASDAQ: JUPW), which focuses on making drugs and skin- and hair-care products, is riding on this emerging trend. The company reports that it’s changed its focus and sharpened its vision over the last year in its journey to rebrand itself and transform into a science- and research-backed pharmaceutical company that uses its health-sciences division for the production, testing, and sale of products aimed at the skin, hair and sexual wellness as well as general health. Jupiter‘s development pipeline includes products to address psoriasis, eczema, burns, herpes and cold sores, hair loss and female libido loss. In fact, last year, the company put its money where its mouth is by acquiring certain assets of Applied Biology, a biotech company specializing in skin and hair science that provides clinical research for several of Jupiter Wellness’s proprietary dermatological treatment products. A Diverse Lineup Of Products Jupiter’s top-of-the-line product is its JW-100, which the company says is a novel topical formulation containing CBD and aspartame used for the topical treatment of atopic dermatitis (eczema) and is in direct competition with Pfizer Inc. ’s (NYSE: PFE) Eucrisa. The company is conducting a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial to evaluate the superiority of JW-100 to Eucrisa (a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved topical drug) in mild-to-moderate eczema, and it is optimistic that JW-100 may prove superior to Eucrisa and other comparable prescription drugs on the market. Market analysis and go-to-market plans are being developed with an anticipated product launch in 2023, according to the company. Another product in Jupiter's development pipeline is RJ-101, a topical treatment for female libido loss that was discovered when the drug was being used to treat breast cancer and chemotherapy patients who reported an increase in sexual desire as an unexpected side effect. Jupiter has continued clinical trials and reports that RJ-101 increased nipple erection, sensitivity, and genital lubrication in healthy patients as well as those with nipple neuropathy. Jupiter plans to launch RJ-101 in 2023, this product may go both the FDA route as a prescription drug or as a consumer product for female libido loss and potentially as a product for general sexual wellness and pleasure for women. Jupiter’s Minoxidil Booster is an over-the-counter drug used to treat of hair loss. It reportedly works by enriching the sulfotransferase enzyme in the hair and amping up the efficacy of Minoxidil for hair loss. Jupiter says it has licensed its Minoxidil Booster to Taisho, a $2.6 billion Japanese company that is the leading seller of minoxidil products in Japan. Taisho expects to launch the product commercially in 2023. The company’s other skin-care products include Photocil, a topical treatment for psoriasis and vitiligo; JW-300, a topical used to treat first-degree burns and sun exposure; JW 400, a product for treating herpes labialis (cold sores); and NoStingz, a unique sunscreen that protects the skin from jellyfish stings, sea lice, and UVA/UVB rays. NoStingz has been available since April through Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT), and other select stores with sales growing steadily month over month, according to the company. The company reported revenue of $3.7 million in the first half of 2022. “I am pleased to report that Jupiter Wellness is on track with its 2022 roadmap,” Jupiter Wellness CEO Brian John said. “Jupiter finished the first half of 2022 with momentum and our strongest revenue numbers to date”. Learn more about Jupiter Wellness here. We support health and wellness through the research and development of over-the-counter (OTC) products and intellectual property. Our product pipeline addresses a range of conditions, including hair loss, eczema, burns, and sexual wellness.

Communication Service for the Deaf Names Jessica Kennedy the New President of CSD Health

Communication Service for the Deaf

As September’s Deaf Awareness Month celebrations begin, Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD) is happy to announce that Jessica Kennedy has been named the new President of CSD Health. Kennedy has previously served as CSD’s Vice President of Legal and Compliance. The new CSD health division will be the home of all the organization’s health care initiatives, with a focus on ensuring that there is equitable healthcare access for Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, hard-of-hearing, and late-deafened people whose daily lives are impacted by barriers to accessible communications options within the healthcare system. One of the fundamental rights belonging to every human being is access to medical care. Yet, even within the United States, deaf communities are often not afforded this dignity. Changes must be made. CSD is prioritizing the healthcare space as a top issue for advocacy and change. “We believe Jessica is the perfect person to lead our work to achieve truly accessible and equitable healthcare experiences and outcomes for our community,” said Chris Soukup, CEO of CSD. “This division will confront the challenges within the healthcare system head-on and advocate for real and lasting change.” The current system is full of barriers that deaf communities must navigate daily. Users of American Sign Language (ASL) are at a higher risk for poor health knowledge and inequitable access to medical and behavioral care in our current health system due to cultural and language barriers. For example, miscommunication when using a third-party interpreter can result in more than simple frustration-- it jeopardizes primary care. Because of this, deaf communities often have significant health disparities and are often excluded from health outreach programs and mass media healthcare messages. Deaf patients can embody a unique culture that is unfamiliar to most medical and mental healthcare providers. This lack of cultural and linguistic competency often results in higher rates of inaccurate evaluations, misdiagnoses, and inappropriate treatments. To answer these concerns, Kennedy envisions the health division advocating for equitable and accessible health reform efforts, promoting innovative and transformative ideas to strengthen health care for deaf communities, bridging access in federal and state public health emergencies, and working towards culturally responsive medical providers for our communities. “Healthcare access is critical,” Kennedy signed in ASL. “Good health is a human need that binds all humanity together. When it is not accessible, or groups get left behind, that separates us as a global community. We must and will do better." About Communication Service for the Deaf Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD) is the world's largest Deaf-led social impact organization. For more than four decades, CSD has been a leader in creating and providing accessible and innovative solutions for the Deaf community. Today, CSD continues its work to create opportunities for personal and economic growth within the Deaf community, explicitly addressing leadership and employment. For more information, please visit CSD and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. About Jessica Kennedy Jessica Kennedy is an attorney and disability rights advocate. As the Vice President of Legal and Compliance for Communication Service for the Deaf, Inc. (CSD), Ms. Kennedy proudly served as part of a team dedicated to empowering people with disabilities. Previously, she was the Deputy General Counsel and Policy Director at MNsure, contributing to the implementation and overhaul of Minnesota’s health insurance exchange and the dynamic policy landscape that followed. Prior to MNsure, Ms. Kennedy served as an in-house attorney for the Minnesota Department of Human Services, advising on healthcare and privacy issues. She received her B.A in political science from the University of Minnesota and her J.D. from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul.

Is Growing Awareness Of Good Oral Hygiene Driving Growth Of Electric Toothbrush Market?

Bruush Oral Care Inc.

Learn More about Bruush Oral Care Inc., by gaining access to the latest research report. The debate over whether electric or manual toothbrushes do a better job of cleaning your teeth has raged for decades. While both manual and electric toothbrushes are effective at removing plaque, powered toothbrushes often are easier for people who have dexterity issues, such as the elderly, people with disabilities or children, according to the American Dental Association (ADA). The Journal of the American Dental Association published a survey that found that 13,000 out of 16,000 patients who used an electric toothbrush reported better oral health. Still, only 36% of adults say they use an electric toothbrush, according to a report by consumer marketing analysis firm Mintel. The global electric toothbrush market size was estimated to be worth $4.3 billion in 2022 and projected to increase to just over $6 billion by 2027, according to Statista. The market is being driven by the prevalence of periodontal diseases and heightened awareness of the advantages of electric toothbrushes. Electric toothbrush bristles vibrate or rotate to remove plaque buildup from teeth and gums. There are pros and cons to an electric toothbrush. On the plus side, they’re easy to use; most have timers so users can tell whether they’ve brushed their teeth for the full two minutes dentists recommend, and some people feel that their teeth are cleaner. “If you choose an electric toothbrush, make sure the toothbrush is comfortable to hold and easy to use,” said Thomas Salinas, a prosthodontist with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. “Whether you choose an electric toothbrush or a manual toothbrush, remember that what’s most important is daily brushing and flossing.” Electric toothbrushes also may generate less waste. The ADA recommends replacing your toothbrush every three months, and with an electric toothbrush, you’re just replacing the brush head — not the entire device as you would with the manual version. What Are The Drawbacks? However, electric toothbrushes are more expensive than their manual counterparts; they require charging, and they’re difficult to travel with. And replacing brush heads can be expensive. Replacement brush heads for Sonicare can cost as much as $43 for a three-pack, and the price of Oral-B line of brush heads reaches as high as $40 for a three-pack, depending on the model. What Is A Solution? An example of a more affordable alternative is the Brüush (NASDAQ: BRSH) electric toothbrush, which comes in five colors. Like Blue Apron Holdings Inc. (NYSE: APRN) and Stitch Fix Inc. (NASDAQ: SFIX), which send their food and clothing products to customers who sign up, Brüush’s subscription model makes it easy for consumers to stay on top of replacing their brush heads every three months as dentists recommend. If you sign up for a subscription, Brüush will send you three new brush heads every six months for $18 — just $6 per brush head. The Brüush toothbrush has six cleaning modes for every type of brusher — daily, white, gentle, gum, max, and tongue. Brüush’s electric toothbrush kit sells for $79 and includes the electric toothbrush, three brush heads, and a USB power adapter and charger. The Brüush lithium-ion battery lasts for four weeks on a single charge, and the compact magnetic case makes traveling with the device convenient. Visit Brüush’s website to learn more about the company and its products. About Bruush Oral Care Inc. Bruush Oral Care Inc. is on a mission to inspire confidence through brighter smiles and better oral health. Founded in 2018, Brüush is an oral care company that is disrupting the space by reducing the barriers between consumers and access to premium oral care products. The Company is an e-commerce business with a product portfolio that currently consists of a sonic-powered electric toothbrush kit and brush head refills. Brüush has developed a product to make upgrading to an electric brush appealing with three core priorities in mind: (i) a high-quality electric toothbrush at a more affordable price than a comparable electric toothbrush from the competition; (ii) a sleek, countertop-friendly design; and (iii) a convenient brush head refill subscription program that eliminates the frustrating experience of purchasing replacement brush heads at the grocery/drug store. The Company is rooted in building a brand that creates relevant experiences and content, with the goal of becoming the go-to oral care brand for millennials and Generation Z.For more information on Bruush Oral Care Inc visit https://bruush.com.

Obesity And Back Pain: BioRestorative Therapies Inc. Is Working To Address 2 Common Ailments That Plague Americans with a Major Near Term Data Catalyst

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.

In 2016, Americans spent roughly $380 billion on lower back and neck pain. In the same year, medical costs for adult obesity in the United States were $260.6 billion. That’s why BioRestorative Therapies Inc. (NASDAQ: BRTX) is working to develop treatments for these 2 indications, laser-focusing on obesity and lower back pain. Lower back pain and obesity are major health crises. Lower back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and obesity has been identified as a national security threat by the Department of Defense. With the escalation of both lower back pain and obesity in recent years, companies have realized the market potential for finding ways to improve the lives of those suffering from these conditions. Companies such as Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE), Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) and Vertex Inc.. (NASDAQ: VRTX) seem to have recognized the market potential for potential obesity treatments and are actively looking for the next breakthrough in obesity therapies. FDA Authorizes BioRestorative to Begin Phase 2 Clinical Trials For Chronic Lower Back Pain Indication; Development For Brown Fat Indication Underway BioRestorative Therapies is looking into the viability of BRTX-100 as an alternative to current treatments for chronic lower back pain that manages the pain rather than attacking the root cause such as pain relievers, steroid injections and opioids. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized BioRestorative to begin a Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100 to treat persistent lower back pain resulting from pain-causing degenerative discs. Currently, BioRestorative Therapies is actively recruiting patients to participate in the Phase 2 study. More information can be found here https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04042844?term=brtx&draw=2&rank=1. Another treatment BioRestorative is developing is ThermoStem, which targets obesity and metabolic disorders through the use of brown adipose-derived stem cells to generate new brown fat tissue. This brown fat tissue has been shown to increase metabolic activity and potentially regulate metabolic dysfunction in mice. New Developments Might Promise Better Health BioRestorative Therapies’ leadership is excited about the company’s ability to continue developing its two major technologies that could potentially provide access to multibillion-dollar markets. The company raised $23 million last November 2021 and is funded to prosecute its phase 2 clinical trial targeting chronic lumbar disc disease. Major Catalyst Near Term BioRestorative plans to unveil major safety data for its new therapies within the first quarter of 2023. Company leadership believes this will be a major catalyst for driving growth because positive safety data would provide acceleration to enrollment in and provide major validation for BRTX-100’s Phase 2 clinical trial for lower back pain. BioRestorative also reports that top key opinion leaders (KOLS) are highly engaged in the company’s research and development and are having their clinical sites participate in BioRestorative’s clinical trial. The Company also reports they are oversubscribed in terms of high-quality clinical site selection. With the company’s recent developments, upcoming safety data reveals and involvement of KOLS, BioRestorative is confident that it is heading in a positive direction and is hopeful it will positively impact the lives of millions. BioRestorative Therapies was founded by scientists and researchers committed to developing stem cell therapies to address unmet needs in patients with highly prevalent conditions.Our advances in stem cell biology and delivery protocols harbor great promise in conditioning our bodies’ own regenerative potential to treat major diseases more effectively than current interventions.Today, BioRestorative is actively developing programs that aim to dramatically increase quality of care for both (i) chronic back pain caused by disc degeneration, as well as (ii) metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes.
