Hi Gary,

Do you have any information on concentration of acemannan and dosing for the 
discontinued product?  I'm investigating several sources for powdered 
acemannan, which is taken orally.  It might offer an alternative to the 
injectable form, although I suspect doses are smaller and might require longer 
usage time to show results.

I am afraid I have some very bad news concerning Acemannan.  I have found 
out the manufacturer, Carrington Labs, is out of business.  I emailed VPL 
and they said as far as they know, there is no one else making it. So, we 
have another product that was effective in saving the lives of cats that is 
no longer available.
