Kibow Biotech Showcases Renadyl™ During Kidney Week ASN Convention in Atlanta Nov. 7-9

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., Nov. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A major annual event of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) – The Kidney Week – is to be held Nov. 5-10 in Atlanta, GA. Kibow Biotech, Inc. is pleased to announce their continued participation as an exhibitor at this event. In addition, the company will also be presenting three posters in joint authorship with the clinical nephrologists from Downstate Medical Center, State University of New York (SUNY), Brooklyn, NY.  Data from their recently completed clinical trial of Renadyl™ in patients undergoing routine dialysis confirm earlier positive results, safety, as well as some additional benefits in counteracting some specific uremia-related biomarkers. Improved quality of life (QOL), already observed in the previously published pilot-scale study for kidney failure patients, was also reconfirmed by the new data.

Renadyl™, a probiotic dietary supplement, is currently sold via Kibow's own online store (www.renadyl.com or www.kibow.com). This probiotic dietary supplement is known for its ability to target and help reduce the buildup of uremic toxins in the body, thus helping to maintain healthy kidney function, via Kibow's Uremic Toxin Reduction Technology. The probiotic microbial strains used in the product formulation are "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS status), according to the regulations of U.S. FDA.

About Kibow Biotech

Founded in 1997, Kibow Biotech specializes in research and development of probiotic dietary supplements. The Company's primary mission is to offer affordable, readily available and easily administered dietary supplements in support of kidney health. The Company's flagship product, Renadyl™, is currently marketed in the US and Canada, and will progressively be made available worldwide, according to individual countries' governmental rules and regulatory authorities.

About Uremic Toxin Reduction Technology

Kibow's novel "uremic toxin removal technology" addresses the diffusion of various uremic toxins into the bowel as a consequence of failing kidney function. The Company's patented and proprietary dietary supplements, Renadyl™ (for CKD patients) and Azodyl™ (veterinary formulation licensed to Vetoquinol SA) consist of a combination of three specific probiotic microbial strains. The results of a randomized, double-blind, crossover, pilot scale clinical trial completed in 2010 provided encouraging preliminary evidence that the Company's technology could be effective when the formulation is taken together with the standard therapy in accordance with individual patient's condition.
