LONDON (AFX) - Provexis PLC said it has entered into a long-term collaboration agreement with Unilever PLC to jointly develop a new concentrated format of its patented Fruitflow heart-health technology for application in Unilever's food product portfolio.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

The partners plan to enter into a global licence arrangement for the technology.

Fruitflow is a patented natural extract from tomato which Provexis said has been shown in human trials to reduce the propensity for aberrant blood clotting that is typically associated with cardiovascular disease and which can lead to heart attack or stroke.

In 2005 the market for heart benefit foods was worth 4 bln usd globally, Provexis added.

Considering the growth potential this share has a target of about 8-10p in the medium tern and is a good buy at current levels

As usual, pls do ur own research.

Nice to see this is finally reaching back to its 2007 levels - guess the whole process has just taken a couple of years longer than I'd anticipated. Must learn to be patient...

do you hold these?
hope you weren't holding Alyzyme when they folded

Missed the rise, happy for those who got in.....what a rise !....incredible...from 1p....I have a tendancy to avoid "pharmas" like the plague, but that's a superb increase in value.

To answer your Q Cynic: no - not currently a holder but wish I had been to enjoy the ride! And also no to AZM; got out of that a long time ago. But do hold OXB at a profit, and will continue to hold those.

have any triels been done on sirco lowering blood pressure,? it's lowered mine , i have come off all the druges the doctor put me on. if this has the same effect on other's the sky's the limit.any comment's ?..

hi bestblinds,

glad to know sirco's doing a good job for you, i havn't heard any direct mention of this but it may be a consequence of the smoothing of platelets etc. Hence the phrase 'helps maintain a healthy bloodflow. Like you say this is a more like the effect that people will recognise immediately as beneficial...

Here we go again 10% up first 5 mins 4 mil traded

11mil trades

this is unbelievable. that 8p target is coming up fast...was aiming for circa 10p in next few months but may not have to wait too long. AGM on 10th will be exciting but unfortunately I will be away. will remember to take sirco before the flight!!

just wear the flight socks!

GN I was thinking 10p by xmas. But at this rate it could be this or next week. Its just incredible. And the news is not even out yet!!


Cynic you happy little old Bunny now!

suppose so (grump, grump)

there has to ne an RNS soon ? even if it's just for "they know of no reason for the sudden share price movement!"?

agree skyhigh - but maybe they do know a reason but cannot say yet

been trying to check up on RNS rules;

buyer (seller) crossing 3% and subsequent whole % needs to inform company max 2 days after event. company has to then post rns max 1 day after receiving notification - there don't appear to be any different rules/situations that apply to AIM stocks that are relevant to us here.

819million shares in issue 3% is approx 24.6million.

L2 Indicative buying price 6.5 to 7p it may pass 8p end of today

am delighted to have been proven to be just not a cynical old fart, but also wrong (for almost the first time in my life!!) ...... do not remember who pointed me in this direction initially, and will readily admit that would not have bought of my own volition .... in fact, got so damn greedy, bought a further 50% (25k) this morning

Well done, should be safe this is going to 10p.

Blanche very kindly advised me to buy these at 0.9 and at 1.38. Is it worth me buying some more now? Do I still need to buy you the bottle of champagne Blanche?

Mrs Badcrumble, You need to buy a crate of Champagne!!!!

Mrs Badcrumble< Robin is going to pick you up at 6.25 tonight.

Blanche...knowing your expensive tastes, it leaves me little change from my profit if I go for the crate....6.25 thats early.
