Bioprogress is a stock I have been in and out of quite a few times since it floated in May but not much mention here on the Investors' Room. Does anyone else follow this stock. I see it is up 1.5p today and a few good buyers seem to have appeared.

Press comment

THE TELEGRAPH
Charcoal and tortoise blood were once considered good enough to cleanse the teeth, but dental hygiene has moved on and thanks to UK company Bioprogress is about to take another leap forward.

The Aim-listed company, which makes films that dissolve in the mouth, yesterday announced a tie-up with Colgate Palmolive for the launch of a new Max Fresh toothpaste with "Mini Breath Strips" - strips of film Bioprogress claims gives "explosions of breath freshness".

Toothpaste has traditionally been sold on the premise of scientific innovation. Once, people cleaned their teeth with charcoal, and drank tortoise blood.

In 1892 toothpaste was put into a tube. More recently, innovations have included stripes of active ingredients.

Bioprogress said Max Fresh will be the first whitening toothpaste with mini breath strips. Its shares rose 12.5 to 107.5p.

Breath of fresh air for toothpaste

Bioprogress, which makes products including colostomy bags and drug capsules, has done a deal to put dissolvable breath-freshening strips into Colgate toothpaste.
Small squares of a soluble minty film are mixed in with the whitening toothpaste. It is about to be launched in the US, where Colgate will conduct a television advertising campaign; if that works the company will roll out a worldwide launch.

Bioprogress and US company Colgate-Palmolive have been developing the product - which will be branded as Max Fresh - for two years.

Graham Hind, the chief executive of Bioprogress, said: "Consumers have taken very well to 'in the mouth' breath fresheners".

The company is in the process of producing degradable colostomy bags that can be flushed down the lavatory rather than emptied, and has also developed capsules for drugs that do not contain gelatine, a meat product.
