(the “Company” or “BTI”) (OTCQB:BTHE), an innovator in the design, development and commercialization of novel therapeutics as an adjunct therapy for diabetes, launches the initial sales and marketing of cross border products in China via one of the largest e-commerce platform: Tao Bao. Newly manufactured Sugardown^® chewable tablets have been received in China in Jan 2019 to support the launching of product by an elite e-marketing group (JD Jin Long) in China.
