Following its launch in India in July of 2023, sales of MinoxiBoost have exceeded all expectations and we expect our distribution partners will continue to deliver robust sales,” stated Safety Shot’s CEO Brian John. “The recently completed clinical trial is a vital next step to support a full launch of JW-700 in the U.S. and other key markets. We look forward to reporting data in the coming weeks as well as the launch of this incredible product in the USA.”
