Kemeta is commercializing a patented palm-size breath analyzer that specifically and immediately detects if, and at what rate, the user is burning fat.

“Kronos Science Laboratories is a leader in developing and applying innovative science to improve human health. Through our collaboration, we are accelerating the time to market for the first Kemeta product,” says Dr. Joan Vrtis, President and CEO of Kemeta, LLC.

Dr. Susan Kaib, President and Medical Director of Kronos Science Laboratories, states “As an independent research organization, we are excited to participate in these clinical trials with Kemeta.”

The Kemeta product will have application in the prevention of weight related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease as well as the optimization of personal health and fitness programs. The U.S. Center for Disease Control studies show that people with pre-diabetes can prevent or delay full blown type 2 diabetes by losing at least 7% of their body weight and engaging in moderate physical activity at least 150 minutes per week.

With the Kemeta product, health and fitness management programs can be designed to focus solely on fat metabolism, eliminating fluid fluctuations and muscle mass changes as elements from the health and fitness routine.

The series of collaborative clinical studies is commencing in October, running consecutively over the next several months. Market introduction of Kemeta’s first product offering is planned for 2010.
