Not a drug so not a lot of money to be made long term. I’m really surprised this even got funding to be studied. Spend money marketing something that isn’t unique or patentable is usually a loosing game. For example if you pitched this on shark tank you’d have no investors because it’s not defendable.


Finding a good shark tank pitch is not the purpose of academic research.


Most research is funded by companies wanting to make money in the long run. This is the point I was trying to get across; thanks for letting me clarify this point :)
