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.

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.

We are going to have a beer in the pub first and talk about all the money we are making. Giving it high fives and stuff!

honesty is a wonderful thing cynic. enjoy.

Cynic may I take a bow-glad you've done well! I pointed it out to you on the other thread--gkp I think. Answers to other comments --yes it does lower blood pressure dramatically in some cases and can replace medication obviously doctors should be consulted to monitor for this as you have to drink it daily to benefit fully. It apparently lowers blood pressure within an hour---smooths platelets and is really good to take before flying to prevent dvt. Hence the rumoured interest from airlines, a food co. called DGM has a large stake and coca cola is in the wings.
EFSA have approved the product but the wording has to be medically/technically correct when promoting it before deals etc can go ahead. This is what the excitement is all about and it seems the sky is the limit---I very much hope!! If I read any more I'll report back but the provexis web site is worth looking at for their other treatments. We've come a long way since they made aspirin from a foxglove but this is their area of expertise. wowee!!!

DSM - top 3 food global ingredients supplier and food tech development. holds 28%.

aspirin from foxglove? .... i thought it was digitalis for lactating mothers!
