HPN-84 is a "nutraceutical" found in India. Botanicals, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids (natural proudcts collectively referred to as nutraceuticals and dietary supplements) are new therapies for T2 and insulin resistance.
They are marketed in the US under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA).
Manufacturers of botanicals and nutraceuticals are to clearly state on all product labels that it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
HPB-84 is sold without FDA approval and until it is proven they are harmful the FDA will not pull them from the market.
I was unable to find out what the ingredients are in the HPB-84. Until the ingredients are known I would not take a chance. Many herbs, botanicals etc are not compatible with other medications a person may be taking, some can be lethal.

found this
Becker was on for about an hour and spent the entire time responding to questions. He sounded very business-like and sincere not a hype-head like so many pennystock CEOs are. He made it very clear his priority is not on the stock itself but on growing and making the company successful.
Here are just some tidbits from it:
HPB-84's ingredients are:
-- Bitter Gourd (Momordica Charantia) (seed)
-- Naga Jihwa (Enicostemma Littorale) (ariel part)
-- Cinnamon (Cinnamonum Zeylandicum) (bark)
-- Fenugreek (Trigonella Foenum Graecum) (seed)
-- Bengal quince (Aegle marmelos) (leaves)
-- Gurmar (Gymnema Sylvestre) (leaves)
The product is produced in India and packaged/distributed in the USA. Right now, it will only be sold through a medical doctor who will provide supervision over the entire 12-week program. He expects the average treatment to cost about $10,000 per individual. They are currently talking w/ insurance carriers to see if they will cover this. Blue Cross/Blue Shield has expressed an interest in doing so.
In Jan, they opened their first wellness center. This one is owned by the founder, Ron Brooks. These are actually full-service clinics. If a customer is interested in the HPB program, then he's referred over to it. They currently have only one doctor, Dr Tim Lawton. He's a GP who has leaned mostly towards homeopathic treatments during his medical practice. So, they feel he's a good fit. They hope to start franchising later this month or March.
