EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Boston Therapeutics, Inc. (“we”, “us” “or the “Company”) is a clinical stage, publicly traded pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel drug products that potentially address areas of high unmet medical need in the treatment of diabetes and inflammatory diseases. The Company has a diversified portfolio of two lead products and an over the counter dietary supplement. The Company’s product development efforts are guided by specialists in complex carbohydrate chemistry. The Company intends to supplement its development efforts with input from a medical and scientific advisory board consisting of leading physicians. The Company has a unique approach that is expected to create safe and efficacious drug formulations that can be combined with existing therapies and potentially deliver valuable products in areas of high unmet medical needs.

The Company was established on August 24, 2009 as a Delaware corporation under the name of Avanyx Therapeutics, Inc. On November 10, 2010, the Company, which until then focused on the injectable drug candidate IPOXYN, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Boston Therapeutics, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation (“BTHENH”) adding BTHENH’s oral drug candidate BTI320 (formerly PAZ320) to the Company’s pipeline of products. The transaction provided for the merger of BTHENH into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”), the issuance by the Company of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to the stockholders of BTHENH in exchange for 100% of the outstanding common stock of BTHENH, and the change of the Company’s name to Boston Therapeutics, Inc.

Use of Proceeds

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders. However, we may receive up to an aggregate of approximately $4.4 million from the exercise price of the Investor Warrants upon exercise of the Investor Warrants by the selling stockholders.

We anticipate that any net proceeds from the sale of stock we issued to the selling stockholders upon the exercise of outstanding warrants will be used for general corporate purposes.

Company Overview

Boston Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company that is focused on developing drugs to treat diabetes and inflammatory diseases. According to a Standard & Poor’s report, the worldwide diabetes drug market is estimated to be $35 billion and is on pace to grow to more than $58 billion by 2018. The Company is focusing its expertise and resources to develop novel formulations, and to leverage development partnerships to apply its complex carbohydrate chemistry design in other indications. We may seek to enter into licensing, co-marketing, or co-development agreements for parts or all of-the-world in order to avail the Company of the marketing expertise of one or more seasoned marketing and/or pharmaceutical companies. The Company’s highly experienced drug development leadership provides the Company with a significant competitive advantage in designing highly efficient clinical programs to deliver valuable products in areas of high unmet medical needs.

Boston Therapeutics, Inc. intends to realize its business objectives by leveraging its expertise in complex carbohydrate chemistry. A core part of the Company strategy relies upon creating safe and efficacious drug formulations that can be administered as standalone therapies or in combination with existing medications. Product development plans for BTI320 is currently in Phase II/III. The Company has not initiated any trials or filed any applications with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for IPOXYN. We expect to begin Phase III trials for BTI320 in the summer of 2014 and further development studies for IPOXYN in 2014. The Company’s lead development projects are briefly described below.

Boston Therapeutics Drug Development Status

BTI320 works non-systemically in the gastrointestinal tract to block the action of carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes that break down carbohydrates into glucose. This action reduces the amount of glucose available for absorption into the bloodstream. Most anti- diabetes drugs, also called hypoglycemic drugs, force blood sugar levels down systemically by targeting organs such as the pancreas and the body’s cells, increasing the risk of side effects as has been evidenced in recent FDA findings. In contrast, BTI320 targets enzymes in the mouth and small intestine to reduce the uptake of glucose during the digestion of carbohydrate foods. This preemptive, non-systemic approach to blood sugar management provides for a stronger safety profile. The BTI320 profile is enhanced due to its GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) classification, and 505(b)(2) accelerated development pathway for FDA approval. BTI320 will compete in the large and growing diabetes drug market.

IPOXYN, is a carbohydrate-based intravenous solution that can potentially prevent necrosis, or cell death, and treat hypoxic conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers and other vascular complications of diabetes. Hypoxia is a condition in which cells lack sufficient oxygen supply to support metabolic function. The IPOXYN carbohydrate molecule contains oxygen rechargeable iron which picks up oxygen in the lungs, is 5,000 times smaller than a red blood cell (RBC), and can reach hypoxic tissue more effectively than RBCs. IPOXYN is stable at room temperature, has a five year shelf life and requires no blood type matching. We plan to introduce this product in clinical trials for hypoxic medical conditions. The Company has also developed OXYFEX, a veterinary analog to IPOXYN.

Business Strategy

The Company’s strategy is to leverage considerable industry experience, expertise in complex carbohydrate chemistry and clinical development experience to identify, develop and commercialize product candidates with strong market potential that can fulfill unmet medical needs in the treatment of diabetes and inflammatory disease.

The Company plans to further develop its new and proprietary drug candidates to provide improved efficacy and safety by using unique development pathways specific to each candidate. We intend to develop its most advanced clinical stage drug candidates through approval in the case of BTI320 up to and including a Phase III human clinical trial designed to provide data on the drug’s efficacy. If these efforts are successful, we may elect to commercialize BTI320 on its own or with a strategic partner in the U.S. and/or outside of the U.S. to out-license the rights to develop and commercialize the product.

In the case of IPOXYN, we plan to enter into strategic partnerships whereby the strategic partner(s) co-funds human clinical trials of the drug that are needed to obtain regulatory approvals for commercial sale within and outside of the U.S. The Company intends to out-license marketing rights in the U.S. and the rest of the world to its pharmaceutical drugs and its dietary food supplement (over the counter products).

Market Opportunity

Standard therapies for diabetes include physician recommended diet and exercise, oral hypoglycemic drugs such as Metformin for Type 2 diabetes and insulin injection regimens for people with Type 1 diabetes. The objective of each is to maintain a daily blood glucose level range recommended by a physician. Each of the current therapies alone has its limitations including numerous side effects. According to the International Diabetes Federation, 366 million people are living with diabetes and that number is projected to increase to 551 million by 2030.

According to Standard & Poor’s, the diabetes drug market is estimated to be $35 billion and is on pace to grow to more than $58 billion by 2018. Pharmaceutical companies have been investigating new approaches to treating diabetes and market value has been maintained in the industry due to the introduction of these new products. The Company believes that its lead product, BTI320, represents a near term commercial opportunity in a large and growing diabetes market. BTI320 is pharmacologically differentiated from commercially available Postprandial (post meal) Glucose (PPG) drugs, including Byetta®, Bydureon™, Victoza®, Lispro, Lantus®, and Invokana™.

Many patients with diabetes have suboptimal relief with the use of the above therapies alone or in combination with each other. In addition, other types of PPGs are only effective by themselves in the early stages of impaired glucose tolerance. The Company’s oral formulation is a new class of drug for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. It is a safe, non-systemic drug candidate with a benign side effect profile that will be used for the treatment of diabetes. BTI320 has the potential to be an adjunctive therapy when combined with Metformin, the most prescribed diabetes drug in the U.S. with 50 million prescriptions annually, and represents a compelling value creation opportunity.

Our injectable drug candidate, IPOXYN, will compete with existing therapies for the treatment of hypoxia or anti-necrosis that according to market research analysts has a global market opportunity of $30 billion. Hypoxia is a condition in which cells lack sufficient oxygen supply to support metabolic function. The standard therapy for acute anemia resulting from blood loss is infusion of RBCs mainly from supplies of donated blood. For prophylactic or long term treatment of anticipated or chronic anemia, medications that stimulate the creation of new RBCs are frequently used.

Presently, there is no substitute for human blood to deliver oxygen to the body; and transfusions involve certain risks and limitations. The standard therapy for reversing hypoxia is blood infusion, RBCs or hyperbaric oxygen. Hyperbaric medicine or hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical term for using oxygen at a level higher than atmospheric pressure. The HBOT treatment can only be done at a medical facility and each session can cost $200 to more than $1,000. For decades, oxygen carriers have been developed for perfusion and oxygenation of ischemic tissue; none have yet succeeded. These products were either blood-derived elements, synthetic perfluorocarbons, or red blood cell modifiers. According to a Brown University study, there is a global shortage of transfusion suitable blood of 110 million units, and the need for blood is rising 6-7% annually.

Product Development

In February 2013, the Company reported positive results from a Phase II clinical study conducted at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH that evaluated the safety and efficacy of BTI320. The study evaluated BTI320 in 24 patients with Type 2 diabetes between the ages of 18 and 75 with a body mass index (BMI) of 25-40 kg/m2 and with HbA1c of less than or equal to nine (9) percent. HbA1c is a lab test that shows the average level of blood sugar (glucose) over the previous three months.

Forty-five percent of patients responded positively with a forty percent reduction of post-meal glucose in the blood compared to baseline in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, results showed the effect of BTI320 does not correlate with duration of diabetes and works regardless of concurrent diabetes medications. There was no severe hypoglycemia, gastrointestinal side effects were mild and satiety (fullness) was observed. In the article published in the July/August 2013 issue of the peer reviewed journal, Endocrine Practice, there were no serious adverse events (SAEs) from the data analysis of the open-label dose escalation crossover trial on patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Another potential application of carbohydrate chemistry is as an injectable anti-necrosis drug for the prevention of necrosis and the treatment of ischemic conditions that may lead to necrosis. We are developing this application under the name IPOXYN and a veterinary version called OXYFEX. The drugs consist of a stabilized glycoprotein composition containing oxygen-rechargeable iron, targeting both human and animal tissues and organ systems deprived of oxygen and in need of metabolic support. The Company has not conducted any clinical trials to confirm the efficacy of, or filed any applications with the FDA with respect to, IPOXYN. We are in the process of developing IPOXYN for pre-clinical studies, in order to conduct clinical trials and to file applications with the FDA as applicable. We expect to file an investigational new drug (“IND”) application with the FDA in 2015, provided the Company receives adequate funding. The Company expects to have access to a pilot-scale manufacturing facility with adequate capacity to produce IPOXYN for clinical trials and market introduction following European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMEA) approval. We intend to only utilize manufacturing facilities that it believes are fully compliant with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as required by the regulatory authorities in Europe or the United States.

The Company has also completed the development of a carbohydrate based dietary supplement called SUGARDOWN®. Both BTI320 and SUGARDOWN® are currently manufactured in the United States at a GMP compliant facility. In addition, the Company submitted a petition to file an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for a new chewable dose form metformin with the FDA in June 2011. In October 2012, the FDA approved the Company’s petition to file an ANDA for the new chewable dose form for the diabetes drug metformin hydrochloride.

Operations

The Company’s operations are primarily devoted to development of its lead product candidates. We are focused on clinical development, business and commercialization activities. Currently, key ongoing activities for BTI320 include filing an IND with the FDA, and conducting ongoing clinical studies in France that are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014. The Company is preparing to file an IND application for the pivotal study of BTI320 in the summer of 2014. The Company is also devoting time for the pre-clinical toxicity studies for IPOXYN and evaluating the pharmacological profile of the drug. In addition to the above activities, we are preparing to submit the chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) of BTI320 to the FDA as part of our IND submission.

Intellectual Property and Market Exclusivity

Patents, trademarks, trade secrets, technological know-how and other proprietary rights are essential to our business. Our patent portfolio covers three main areas, mannans, hemoglobin composition and methods of use, and taste making in chewable tablets. The active ingredient in BTI320 is a mannan. BTI320 is a non-systemic, non-toxic, chewable drug candidate for treatment of Type 2 diabetes and its complications. BTI320 inhibits the enzymes that release glucose from complex carbohydrates in foods during digestion, reducing the amount of available glucose absorbed through the intestine. BTI320 is a proprietary fractionated mannan. Mannans are a group of plant-derived complex carbohydrates, or polysaccharides, which consist mainly of polymers of the sugar mannose. Some of the plants from which mannans are derived are guar, locust bean, fenugreek, barley and konjac. Published studies on mannans have shown that they possess significant biological activity ranging from inhibition of cholesterol absorption to promoting wound healing and inhibiting tumor growth. Studies have also shown that consuming mannan before a meal can lessen the rise in blood glucose after the meal. Therefore, supplementation with mannan may be beneficial in the management of diabetes by supporting healthy blood sugar levels. Intellectual property covering composition of mannans is used with BTI320 and SUGARDOWN®. IPOXYN is protected by the Hemoglobin compositions and methods of use patent application. A third provisional application is directed to compositions and methods for taste masking that is useful in chewable pharmaceutical formulations. We seek to strengthen our patent portfolio and increase market exclusivity as the Company progresses in its clinical development process. During the development and commercial scale up of our products, the Company anticipates additional intellectual property will be realized from the creation of the CMC for each of its products. The Company’s technology and products are protected by an intellectual property estate that consist of two international patent applications (PCT) and their related national stage applications, one provisional patent application and trademarks.

Key Strengths

We believe that the key elements for the Company’s market success include:

Experienced management: David Platt, Ph.D., is a chemical engineer, a pioneer in designing drugs made from carbohydrates, and has more than 20 years of experience in the development of therapeutic drugs. He is the inventor or co-inventor on a number of patents. He has been substantially involved in the FDA approval process for several drugs, and we anticipate that his expertise shall be critical as we develop the Company’s drugs through the clinical trial and FDA approval process. Boston Therapeutics is the third start-up company founded by Dr. Platt. The first two are International Gene Group, which later became Prospect Therapeutics, and is now known as LaJolla Pharmaceuticals (OTC: LJPC), and Pro-Pharmaceuticals (now Galectin Therapeutics) (Nasdaq: GALT). LJPC is applying its carbohydrate-based technologies in cancer and chronic kidney disease and GALT is focused on liver fibrosis and cancer. Their core technologies were either developed or co-developed by Dr. Platt.

Focus on Novel Therapeutic Opportunities Provided by Carbohydrates: The Company is a pioneer focused on development of carbohydrate-based compounds to better manage blood glucose and anti-necrosis or hypoxia therapeutics. As a result of its structural complexity, carbohydrates have not received as much scientific attention as nucleic acids and proteins.

Products are differentiated and address significant unmet needs: Both of the Company’s lead product candidates are well differentiated diabetes formulations that address significant unmet medical needs. Diabetes management remains a critical area of unmet need. Increasingly, patients, physicians and the media are highlighting the deficiencies of current diabetes therapies and the growing population of affected individuals. Diabetes is a large unsatisfied market.

A multiple product portfolio with a balanced risk reward profile: The Company has two lead products at various stages of development and a dietary supplement product. Accordingly, the Company is well positioned to become a competitive player in a large and growing market. The BTI320 product candidate has an excellent safety profile with minimal side effects and its non-systemic characteristic provides a targeted and safe method to treat diabetes.

Efficient development strategy: The 505(b)(2) pathway lowers the risk of drug development. The Company’s strategy of combining proven drug candidates with novel delivery methods and pharmaceutical compositions reduces clinical development time and costs and lowers regulatory risks, while delivering valuable products in areas of high unmet need to the market place.

Solid intellectual property and market protection: The Company has secured a robust intellectual property portfolio comprised of patents, patent applications, and trademarks.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Company’s securities involves significant risks, including the risks described below. You should carefully consider the risks described below in addition to the remainder of the Memorandum before purchasing the Securities. The risks highlighted here are not the only ones that the Company faces. For example, additional risks presently unknown to us or that we currently consider immaterial or unlikely to occur could also impair our operations. If any of the risks or uncertainties described below or any such additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected, and you might lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

If we do not receive additional funding, we will have to curtail or cease operations.

We have incurred losses totaling $7.3 million since inception through December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $3.4 million cash on hand. The opinion of our independent registered public accountants on our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions. We raised approximately $5.6 million in gross proceeds in private and public placements during the year ended December 31, 2013. To stay in business, we will need to raise additional capital through public or private sales of our securities, debt financing or short-term bank loans, or a combination of the foregoing.

Revenues generated from our operations are not presently sufficient to sustain our operations and we may not generate sufficient sales or other revenue from SUGARDOWN® alone to fund operations. We will need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans. However, additional funding from an alternate source or sources may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. To the extent that money is raised through the sale of our securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our existing security holders. If we raise money through debt financing or bank loans, we may be required to secure the financing with some or all of our business assets, which could be sold or retained by the creditor should we default in our payment obligations. If we fail to raise sufficient funds, we would have to curtail or cease operations.

Management has developed what it believes is a viable plan to continue as a going concern. The plan relies upon our ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to cease operations.

We are a company with limited operating history which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects.

We are a company with limited operating history, and our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in establishing a new business enterprise. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of a new business, the development of new technologies or those subject to clinical testing, and the competitive and regulatory environment in which we will operate. We have made initial sales of our SUGARDOWN® product as a dietary supplement and, while we expect to continue selling or licensing that product, we have no other products currently available for sale, and none are expected to be commercially available for at least eighteen months, if at all. We may never obtain Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of our products in development and, even if we do so and are also able to commercialize our products, we may never generate revenue sufficient to become profitable. Our failure to generate revenue and profit would likely cause our securities to decrease in value and/or become worthless.

Additional financing required to implement our business plan may not be available on favorable terms or at all, and we may have to accept financing terms that would adversely affect our shareholders.

We will need to continue to conduct significant research, development, testing and regulatory compliance activities for IPOXYN and to a lesser degree on BTI320 that, together with projected general and administrative expenses, we expect will result in operating losses for the foreseeable future. We may not generate sales or other revenue from SUGARDOWN® alone to fund operations and will remain dependent on outside sources of financing until that time and we will need to raise funds from additional financing. We have no commitments for any financing at this time, and any financing commitments may result in dilution to our existing stockholders. We may have difficulty obtaining additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our stockholders. For example, the terms of any future financings may impose restrictions on our right to declare dividends or on the manner in which we conduct our business. Additionally, we may raise funding by issuing convertible notes, which if converted into shares of our common stock would dilute our then shareholders’ interests. Lending institutions or private investors may impose restrictions on a future decision by us to make capital expenditures, acquisitions or significant asset sales. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may be forced to curtail or even abandon our business plan.

Our ability to grow and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available.

The ability of our business to grow and compete depends on the availability of adequate capital, which in turn depends in large part on our cash flow from operations and the availability of equity and debt financing. Our cash flow from operations may not be sufficient or we may not be able to obtain equity or debt financing on acceptable terms or at all to implement our growth strategy. As a result, adequate capital may not be available to finance our current growth plans, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.

Our products are based on novel, unproven technologies.

Our drug candidates in development are based on novel unproven technologies using proprietary carbohydrate compounds in combination with FDA approved drugs currently used in the treatment of diabetes, ischemia, anemia and trauma and other diseases. Carbohydrates are difficult to synthesize, and we may not be able to synthesize carbohydrates that would be usable as delivery vehicles for the anti-hypoxia drugs we are working with or other therapeutics we intend to develop. Although we have completed certain animal studies that we believe were successful, pre-clinical results in animal studies are not necessarily predictive of outcomes in human clinical trials. Clinical trials are expensive, time-consuming and may not be successful. They involve the testing of potential therapeutic agents, or effective treatments, in humans, typically in three phases, to determine the safety and efficacy of the products necessary for an approved drug. Many products in human clinical trials fail to demonstrate the desired safety and efficacy characteristics. Even if our products progress successfully through initial human testing, they may fail in later stages of development. We may engage others to conduct our clinical trials, including clinical research organizations and, possibly, government-sponsored agencies. These trials may not start or be completed as we forecast, or may not achieve desired results.

We may be unable to commercialize our products.

Even if our current and anticipated products achieve positive results in clinical trials, we may be unable to commercialize them. Potential products may fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals, and such products, along with products that do not require regulatory approval, may be difficult to manufacture on a large scale, be uneconomical to produce, fail to achieve market acceptance, or be precluded from commercialization by proprietary rights of third parties. Our inability to commercialize our products would substantially impair the viability of our company.

Our reliance on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, our top customer accounted for 97% of our total revenue. While we expect this concentration to go down as our business expands, if the concentration remains and we are not able to secure further business from this customer or are unable to replace the business provided by this customer, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, result of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

We are dependent upon two of our officers for management and direction and the loss of these persons could adversely affect our operations and results.

We are dependent upon both Dr. David Platt and Mr. Ken Tassey for implementation of our proposed expansion strategy and execution of our business plan. The loss of Dr. Platt or Mr. Tassey could have a material adverse effect upon its results of operations and financial position. We do maintain “key person” life insurance policies for Dr. Platt and Mr. Tassey.

Our lack of operating experience may cause us difficulty in managing our growth which could lead to our inability to implement our business plan.

We have limited experience in marketing and the selling of pharmaceutical products. Any growth of our Company will require us to expand our management and our operational and financial systems and controls. If we are unable to do so, our business and financial condition would be materially harmed. If rapid growth occurs, it may strain our operational, managerial and financial resources.

We will depend on third parties to manufacture and market our products and to design trial protocols, arrange for and monitor the clinical trials, and collect and analyze data.

We do not have, and do not now intend to develop, facilities for the manufacture of any of our products for clinical or commercial production. In addition, we are not a party to any long-term agreement with any of our suppliers, and accordingly, we have our products manufactured on a purchase-order basis from one of two primary suppliers. We will need to develop relationships with manufacturers and enter into collaborative arrangements with licensees or have others manufacture our products on a contract basis. We expect to depend on such collaborators to supply us with products manufactured in compliance with standards imposed by the FDA and foreign regulators.

In addition, we have limited experience in marketing, sales or distribution, and we recently hired an experienced business development executive to commercialize our pharmaceutical products. We currently have an agreement with Advance Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. to develop markets in Hong Kong, South Korea, China and Macau for SUGARDOWN®. We also have engaged with American Medical Supplies to develop markets in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. If we develop additional commercial products, we will need to rely on licensees, collaborators, joint venture partners or independent distributors to market and sell those products and we may need to rely on additional third parties to market our products.

Moreover, as we develop products eligible for clinical trials, we contract with independent parties to design the trial protocols, arrange for and monitor the clinical trials, collect data and analyze data. In addition, certain clinical trials for our products may be conducted by government-sponsored agencies and will be dependent on governmental participation and funding. Our dependence on independent parties and clinical sites involves risks including reduced control over the timing and other aspects of our clinical trials.

We are exposed to product liability, pre-clinical and clinical liability risks which could place a substantial financial burden upon us, should we be sued.

Our business exposes us to potential product liability and other liability risks that are inherent in the testing, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical formulations and products. Such claims may be asserted against us. In addition, the use in our clinical trials of pharmaceutical formulations and products that our potential collaborators may develop and the subsequent sale of these formulations or products by us or our potential collaborators may cause us to bear a portion of or all product liability risks. A successful liability claim or series of claims brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently maintain product liability insurance for SUGARDOWN®. There is no guarantee that such insurance will provide adequate coverage against our potential liabilities. Since we do not currently have any FDA-approved products or other formulations, we do not currently have any other product liability insurance covering commercialized products. We may not be able to obtain or maintain adequate product liability insurance, when needed, on acceptable terms, if at all, or such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against our potential liabilities. Furthermore, our current and potential partners with whom we have collaborative agreements or our future licensees may not be willing to indemnify us against these types of liabilities and may not themselves be sufficiently insured or have sufficient liquidity to satisfy any product liability claims. Claims or losses in excess of any product liability insurance coverage that may be obtained by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we may be unable to obtain or to maintain clinical trial or directors and officer’s liability insurance on acceptable terms, if at all. Any inability to obtain and/or maintain insurance coverage on acceptable terms could prevent or limit the commercialization of any products we develop.

If users of our proposed products are unable to obtain adequate reimbursement from third-party payers or if new restrictive legislation is adopted, market acceptance of our proposed products may be limited and we may not achieve revenues.

The continuing efforts of government and insurance companies, health maintenance organizations and other payers of healthcare costs to contain or reduce costs of health care may affect our future revenues and profitability, and the future revenues and profitability of our potential customers, suppliers and collaborative partners and the availability of capital. For example, in certain international markets, pricing or profitability of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to government control. In the U.S., given recent federal and state government initiatives directed at lowering the total cost of health care, the U.S. Congress and state legislatures will likely continue to focus on health care reform, the cost of prescription pharmaceuticals and on the reform of the Medicare and Medicaid systems. While we cannot predict whether any such legislative or regulatory proposals will be adopted, the announcement or adoption of such proposals could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to commercialize our proposed products will depend in part on the extent to which appropriate reimbursement levels for the cost of our proposed formulations and products and related treatments are obtained by governmental authorities, private health insurers and other organizations, such as HMOs. Third-party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical drugs and services. Also, the trend toward managed health care in the U.S. and the concurrent growth of organizations such as HMOs, which could control or significantly influence the purchase of health care services and drugs, as well as legislative proposals to reform health care or reduce government insurance programs, may all result in lower prices for or rejection of our products.

There are risks associated with our reliance on third parties for marketing, sales and distribution infrastructure and channels.

We expect that we will be required to enter into agreements with commercial partners to engage in sales, marketing and distribution efforts around our products in development. We may be unable to establish or maintain third-party relationships on a commercially reasonable basis, if at all. In addition, these third parties may have similar or more established relationships with our competitors. If we do not enter into relationships with third parties for the sales and marketing of our proposed products, we will need to develop our own sales and marketing capabilities.

We may be unable to engage qualified distributors. Even if engaged, these distributors may:

● fail to satisfy financial or contractual obligations to us;

● fail to adequately market our products;

● cease operations with little or no notice to us; or

● offer, design, manufacture or promote competing formulations or products.

If we fail to develop sales, marketing and distribution channels, we could experience delays in generating sales and incur increased costs, which would harm our financial results.

We will be subject to risks if we seek to develop our own sales force.

If we choose at some point to develop our own sales and marketing capability, our experience in developing a fully integrated commercial organization is limited. If we choose to establish a fully integrated commercial organization, we will likely incur substantial expenses in developing, training and managing such an organization. We may be unable to build a fully integrated commercial organization on a cost effective basis, or at all. Any such direct marketing and sales efforts may prove to be unsuccessful. In addition, we will compete with many other companies that currently have extensive and well-funded marketing and sales operations. Our marketing and sales efforts may be unable to compete against these other companies. We may be unable to establish a sufficient sales and marketing organization on a timely basis, if at all.

If we are unable to convince physicians as to the benefits of our proposed products, we may incur delays or additional expense in our attempt to establish market acceptance.

Broad use of our proposed products may require physicians to be informed regarding our proposed products and the intended benefits. Inability to carry out this physician education process may adversely affect market acceptance of our proposed products. We may be unable to timely educate physicians regarding our proposed products in sufficient numbers to achieve our marketing plans or to achieve product acceptance. Any delay in physician education may materially delay or reduce demand for our products. In addition, we may expend significant funds toward physician education before any acceptance or demand for our proposed products is created, if at all.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY

We will need regulatory approvals to commercialize our products as drugs.

If we choose to offer BTI320, IPOXYN, or any other product as a drug, we are required to obtain approval from the FDA to sell our products in the U.S. and from foreign regulatory authorities to sell our products in other countries. The FDA’s review and approval process is lengthy, expensive and uncertain. Extensive pre-clinical and clinical data and supporting information must be submitted to the FDA for each indication for each product candidate to secure FDA approval. Before receiving FDA clearance to market our proposed products, we will have to demonstrate that our products are safe and effective on the patient population and for the diseases that are to be treated. Clinical trials, manufacturing and marketing of drugs are subject to the rigorous testing and approval process of the FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory authorities. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and other federal, state and foreign statutes and regulations govern and influence the testing, manufacture, labeling, advertising, distribution and promotion of drugs and medical devices. As a result, regulatory approvals can take a number of years or longer to accomplish and require the expenditure of substantial financial, managerial and other resources. The FDA could reject an application or require us to conduct additional clinical or other studies as part of the regulatory review process. Delays in obtaining or failure to obtain FDA approvals would prevent or delay the commercialization of our product candidates, which would prevent, defer or decrease our receipt of revenues. In addition, if we receive initial regulatory approval, our product candidates will be subject to extensive and rigorous ongoing domestic and foreign government regulation.

Data obtained from clinical trials are susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory clearances.

Data already obtained, or in the future obtained, from pre-clinical studies and clinical trials do not necessarily predict the results that will be obtained from later pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. Moreover, pre-clinical and clinical data is susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical industry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after promising results in earlier trials. The failure to adequately demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a proposed formulation or product under development could delay or prevent regulatory clearance of the potential drug, resulting in delays to commercialization, and could materially harm our business. Our clinical trials may not demonstrate sufficient levels of safety and efficacy necessary to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for our drugs, and thus our proposed drugs may not be approved for marketing.

Our competitive position depends on protection of our intellectual property.

Development and protection of our intellectual property are critical to our business. All of our intellectual property has been invented and/or developed or co-developed by our CEO, Dr. David Platt. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to practice our technologies. Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain patent protection for our products or processes in the U.S. and other countries, protect trade secrets, and prevent others from infringing on our proprietary rights.

Since patent applications in the U.S. are maintained in secrecy for at least portions of their pendency periods (published on U.S. patent issuance or, if earlier, 18 months from earliest filing date for most applications) and since other publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that we are the first to make the inventions to be covered by our patent applications. The patent position of biopharmaceutical firms generally is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has not established a consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims that it will allow in biotechnology patents.

Some or all of our patent applications may not issue as patents or the claims of any issued patents may not afford meaningful protection for our technologies or products. In addition, patents issued to us or our licensors may be challenged and subsequently narrowed, invalidated or circumvented. Patent litigation is widespread in the biotechnology industry and could harm our business. Litigation might be necessary to protect our patent position or to determine the scope and validity of third-party proprietary rights, and we may not have the required resources to pursue such litigation or to protect our patent rights.

Although we will require our scientific and technical employees and consultants to enter into broad assignment of inventions agreements, and all of our employees, consultants and corporate partners with access to proprietary information to enter into confidentiality agreements, these agreements may not be honored. Currently, we do not have any scientific or technical employees. We have consultants and a network of uniquely experienced researchers, clinicians and drug developers, some of whom have signed or been asked to sign agreements.

Products we develop could be subject to infringement claims asserted by others.

We cannot assure that products based on our patents or intellectual property that we license from others will not be challenged by a third party claiming infringement of its proprietary rights. If we were not able to successfully defend our patents or licensed rights, we may have to pay substantial damages, possibly including treble damages, for past infringement.

We face intense competition in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely competitive. We face direct competition from U.S. and foreign companies focusing on pharmaceutical products, which are rapidly evolving. Our competitors include major multinational pharmaceutical and chemical companies, specialized biotechnology firms and universities and other research institutions. Many of these competitors have greater financial and other resources, larger research and development staffs and more effective marketing and manufacturing organizations, than we do. In addition, academic and government institutions are increasingly likely to enter into exclusive licensing agreements with commercial enterprises, including our competitors, to market commercial products based on technology developed at such institutions. Our competitors may succeed in developing or licensing technologies and products that are more effective or less costly than ours, or succeed in obtaining FDA or other regulatory approvals for product candidates before we do. Acquisitions of, or investments in, competing pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies by large corporations could increase such competitors’ financial, marketing, manufacturing and other resources.

The market for our proposed products is rapidly changing and competitive, and new drugs and new treatments which may be developed by others could impair our ability to maintain and grow our business and remain competitive.

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are subject to rapid and substantial technological change. Developments by others may render our proposed products noncompetitive or obsolete, or we may be unable to keep pace with technological developments or other market factors. Technological competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities, governmental entities and others diversifying into the field is intense and is expected to increase.

As a company with nominal revenues engaged in the development of drug technologies, our resources are limited and we may experience technical challenges inherent in such technologies. Competitors have developed or are in the process of developing technologies that are, or in the future may be, the basis for competition. Some of these technologies may have an entirely different approach or means of accomplishing similar therapeutic effects compared to our proposed products. Our competitors may develop drugs that are safer, more effective or less costly than our proposed products and, therefore, present a serious competitive threat to us.

The potential widespread acceptance of therapies that are alternatives to ours may limit market acceptance of our proposed products, even if commercialized. Many of our targeted diseases and conditions can also be treated by other medication. These treatments may be widely accepted in medical communities and have a longer history of use. The established use of these competitive drugs may limit the potential for our technologies, formulations and products to receive widespread acceptance if commercialized.

Health care cost containment initiatives and the growth of managed care may limit our returns.

Our ability to commercialize our products successfully may be affected by the ongoing efforts of governmental and third-party payers to contain the cost of health care. These entities are challenging prices of health care products and services, denying or limiting coverage and reimbursement amounts for new therapeutic products, and for FDA-approved products considered experimental or investigational, or which are used for disease indications without FDA marketing approval.

Even if we succeed in bringing any products to the market, they may not be considered cost-effective and third-party reimbursement might not be available or sufficient. If adequate third-party coverage is not available, we may not be able to maintain price levels sufficient to realize an appropriate return on our investment in research and product development. In addition, legislation and regulations affecting the pricing of pharmaceuticals may change in ways adverse to us before or after any of our proposed products are approved for marketing.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Stock prices for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are volatile.

The market price for securities of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies historically has been highly volatile, and the market from time-to-time has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. Fluctuations in the trading price or liquidity of our common stock may adversely affect, among other things, the interest in our stock by purchasers on the open market and our ability to raise capital.

We have a limited market for our common stock, which makes our securities very speculative.

Trading activity in our common stock is limited. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that a more active market for our common stock will develop, or if one should develop, there is no assurance that it will be sustained. This could severely limit the liquidity of our common stock, and would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and on our ability to raise additional capital.

Investors may face significant restrictions on the resale of our common stock due to federal regulation of penny stocks.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol BTHE. Our common stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15(g)-9, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on a national exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.

We have not paid any cash dividends in the past and have no plans to issue cash dividends in the future, which could cause the value of our common stock to have a lower value than other similar companies which do pay cash dividends.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not anticipate any cash dividends being paid to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, it is anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion. As we have no plans to issue cash dividends in the future, our common stock could be less desirable to other investors and as a result, the value of our common stock may decline, or fail to reach the valuations of other similarly situated companies who have historically paid cash dividends in the past.

Our stock price may be volatile.

The market for our common stock is subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:

(1)	actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
(2)	our ability or inability to generate new revenues;
(3)	increased competition;
(4)	conditions and trends in the pharmaceutical industry and/or the market for our pharmaceutical products in general; and
(5)	changes in regulatory policies.

Further, our common stock is traded on the over the counter bulletin board, as is our intention, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Future sales of our securities, or the perception in the markets that these sales may occur, could depress our stock price.

As of December 31, 2013 we had issued and outstanding (i) 37,362,160 shares of common stock, (ii) warrants issued to the investors in our 2013 private placement collectively exercisable for 8,829,484 shares of common stock (the “Investor Warrants”), (iii) warrants exercisable for 1,808,849 shares of common stock (the "Placement Agent Warrants") issued to Laidlaw & Company, the placement agent for our 2013 private placement (the “Placement Agent”), (iv) other warrants exercisable for 1,336,666 shares of common stock, and (v) outstanding stock options exercisable for 5,741,400 shares of common stock. These securities will be eligible for public sale only if registered under the Securities Act or if the stockholder qualifies for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or other applicable exemption. We believe that our stockholders are currently entitled to sell our shares pursuant to Rule 144 to the extent they satisfy the conditions thereunder. An aggregate of 17,659,007 shares of outstanding common stock and 8,829,484 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Investor Warrants are registered for resale. The market price of our capital stock could drop significantly if the holders of the shares being registered hereunder sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. Moreover, to the extent that additional shares of our outstanding stock are registered, or otherwise become eligible for resale, and are sold, or the holders of such shares are perceived as intended to sell them, this could further depress the market price of our common stock. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise capital or make acquisitions through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities.

We have established “blank check” preferred stock which can be designated by the Company’s board of directors without shareholder approval.

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The shares of preferred stock of the Company may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have a distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board of Directors") prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The preferred stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as adopted by the Board of Directors. Because the Board of Directors is able to designate the powers and preferences of the preferred stock without the vote of a majority of the Company's shareholders, shareholders of the Company will have no control over what designations and preferences the Company's preferred stock will have. If preferred stock is designated and issued, then depending upon the designation and preferences, the holders of the preferred stock may exercise voting control over the Company. As a result of this, the Company's shareholders will have no control over the designations and preferences of the preferred stock and as a result the operations of the Company.

Our management and four significant shareholders collectively own a substantial majority of our common stock.

Collectively, our officers, our directors and four significant shareholders own or exercise voting and investment control of approximately 67% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, investors may be prevented from affecting matters involving the Company, including:

● the composition of our Board of Directors and, through it, any determination with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of officers;

● any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations;

● our acquisition or disposition of assets; and

● our corporate financing activities.

Furthermore, this concentration of voting power could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control or other business combination that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders. This significant concentration of share ownership may also adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning stock in a company that is controlled by a small number of stockholders.

Certain provisions of Delaware law make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and make a takeover more difficult to complete, even if such a transaction were in the stockholders’ interest.

The Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions that may have the effect of making it more difficult or delaying attempts by others to obtain control of the Company, even when these attempts may be in the best interests of our stockholders. We also are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibit us from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner and prohibit the voting of shares held by persons acquiring certain numbers of shares without obtaining requisite approval. The statutes have the effect of making it more difficult to effect a change in control of a Delaware company.

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control or disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately and timely or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate and report on our internal controls over financial reporting and, depending on our future growth, may require our independent registered public accounting firm to annually attest to our evaluation, as well as issue their own opinion on our internal controls over financial reporting. The process of implementing and maintaining proper internal controls and complying with Section 404 is expensive and time consuming. We cannot be certain that the measures we will undertake will ensure that we will maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Furthermore, if we are able to rapidly grow our business, the internal controls that we will need may become more complex, and significantly more resources will be required to ensure our internal controls remain effective. Failure to implement required controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If our auditors or we discover a material weakness in our internal controls, the disclosure of that fact, even if the weakness is quickly remedied, could diminish investors’ confidence in our financial statements and harm our stock price. In addition, non-compliance with Section 404 could subject us to a variety of administrative sanctions, including the suspension of trading, ineligibility for future listing on one of the Nasdaq Stock Markets or national securities exchanges, and the inability of registered broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, which may reduce our stock price.

During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to the fact that we did not have a process established to ensure adequate levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters, which resulted in our closing process not identifying all required adjustments in a timely fashion. Remediations were enacted during the year end December 31, 2013 and management has concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 are effective.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock by the selling stockholders. However, we may receive up to an aggregate of approximately $4.4 million from the exercise price of the Investor Warrants upon exercise of the Investor Warrants by the selling stockholders.

We anticipate that any net proceeds from the sale of stock we sell to the selling stockholders upon exercise of outstanding warrants will be used for general corporate purposes. Such general purposes may include funding clinical trials, capital expenditures, and any other purposes that we may specify in any prospectus supplement.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains a number of “forward-looking statements”. Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical facts included in this prospectus regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management at the time these statements were made, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “continue” and “intend,” and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to our financial position, business strategy and plans, or objectives of management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to various factors.

You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed in our periodic reports to be filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act, could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements:

We may be unable to raise the capital we will need to maintain operations and fulfill our business objectives.

We are subject to extensive and costly regulation by the FDA, which must approve our product candidates in development and could restrict the sales and marketing of such products in development.

We may be unable to achieve commercial viability and acceptance of our proposed products.

We may be unable to improve upon, protect and/or enforce our intellectual property.

We may be unable to enter into strategic partnerships for the development, commercialization, manufacturing and distribution of our proposed product candidates.

We are subject to significant competition.

As a public company, we must implement additional and expensive finance and accounting systems, procedures and controls as we grow our business and organization to satisfy new reporting requirements, which will increase our costs and require additional management resources.

Although we believe that our expectations are reasonable, we cannot assure you that those expectations will prove to be correct. Should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.

Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein might not occur.

The amounts set forth above are estimates, and we cannot be certain that actual costs will not vary from these estimates. The Company’s management has significant flexibility and broad discretion in applying the net proceeds received in this Offering. We cannot assure you that the Company’s financial performance estimates will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen events, problems or delays will not occur that would require us to seek additional debt and/or equity funding, which may not be available on favorable terms, sooner than expected to meet our working capital requirements. See “Risk Factors” If we do not receive additional funding, we will have to curtail or cease operations.

DIVIDEND POLICY

To date, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our outstanding shares. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock. Although we intend to retain our earnings to finance our operations and future growth, our Board of Directors will have discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future. Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements and other factors, which our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. Other than as described in Note 11 – “Subsequent Events” of the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this Form S-1/A, the Company is not aware of any outstanding or pending litigation.

(1)	The “Option Awards” column reflects non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of 98,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of 7 years granted effective January 1, 2013 and vesting on December 31, 2013 conditioned on the grantee having attended a minimum of 75% of the Board meetings in 2013 and subject to immediate vesting upon change of control.

The amounts reported in “Option Awards” represent the aggregate grant date fair value of stock options awarded in each year in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R). Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 are included in Note 6 “Stock Option Plan and Stock-Based Compensation” to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included herein.

The Company cautions that the amounts reported in the Director Compensation Table for these awards may not represent the amounts that the directors will actually realize from the awards. Whether, and to what extent, a director realizes value will depend on the Company’s actual operating performance, stock price fluctuations and the director’s continued service.

Other than the grant of options for 2013 described in the table above, there are currently no agreements in effect entitling the non-employee directors to compensation.

Employment Contracts

In August 2011, Mr. Tassey entered into an employment contract with the Company, pursuant to which he is engaged to serve as President and Chief Operating Officer for annual compensation in the amount of $36,000. In November 2013, the Company increased Mr. Tassey’s annual compensation to $100,000.

The employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Tassey provides for the lump-sum payment of 50% of Mr. Tassey’s annual salary then in effect in the event the agreement is terminated by the Company without cause other than as a result of the death or disability, which would result in a payment of $50,000 to Mr. Tassey based on his current salary level. In the event of the termination of the agreement as a result of Mr. Tassey’s death or disability, he or his estate is entitled to receive payment of his salary for the balance of the month in which such termination occurs, which would result in a payment of no more than $8,333 to Mr. Tassey based on his then current salary level. In both instances, Mr. Tassey is entitled to receive any unpaid non-discretionary bonus for the year prior to the year in which the termination occurs.

The employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Tassey further entitles Mr. Tassey to receive benefits on the same basis as employee benefits are generally made available to other senior executives of the Company, including among other items, health, life and disability insurance and participation in any non-discretionary executive bonus or similar plans.

The employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Tassey provides that if he is terminated without cause within 6 months after a change of control he is entitled to receive the lump-sum payment of 50% of Mr. Tassey’s annual salary then in effect in the event the agreement is terminated by the Company without cause other than as a result of the death or disability, which would result in a payment of $50,000 to Mr. Tassey based on his current salary level. There are no material terms of the contract that provide for payments in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination of Mr. Tassey or in connection with a change of control.

Other than the agreement with Mr. Tassey described above, there currently are no employment or consulting contracts between the Company and its Named Executive Officers or Directors. There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for Named Executive Officers or Directors. Our Named Executive Officers and Directors receive stock options at the discretion of our Board of Directors. We do not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our Named Executive Officers or Directors, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of our Board of Directors from time to time.

Other than the agreements with Mr. Tassey described above, there are no arrangements between the Company and the Named Executive Officers that provide for payments in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination of a Named Executive Officer or in connection with a change of control or any other arrangements with any Named Executive Officer with respect to termination of employment or change of control transactions.

Compensation Risk Assessment

We formed a Compensation Committee. Prior to the formation of the committee, compensation decisions, including the contract with Mr. Tassey described above, were made by the full Board. In setting compensation, the Compensation Committee considers (and the Board previously considered) the risks to the Company’s stockholders and to achievement of its goals that may be inherent in its compensation programs. The Compensation Committee (and the Board previously) reviewed and discussed its assessment with management and outside legal counsel and concluded that the Company’s compensation programs are within industry standards and are designed with the appropriate balance of risk and reward to align employees’ interests with those of the Company and do not incent employees to take unnecessary or excessive risks. We believe our compensation plans are appropriately structured and are not reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Company.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Except as otherwise set forth herein, during the last two fiscal years, we have not entered into any material transactions or series of transactions that would be considered material in which any officer, director or beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of any of the preceding persons, had a direct or indirect material interest. There are no transactions presently proposed, except as follows:

Conroy Chi-Heng Cheng is a director of Advance Pharmaceutical Company ("Advance Pharmaceutical"), a Hong Kong-based, privately-held company. On June 24, 2011, prior to his election to the Company’s Board, the Company entered into a definitive Licensing and Manufacturing Agreement (the "Agreement") with Advance Pharmaceutical. Under terms of the Agreement, the Company manufactures and supplies product in bulk for Advance Pharmaceutical. Advance Pharmaceutical is responsible for the packaging, marketing and distribution of SUGARDOWN(R) in China. Advance Pharmaceutical will also have rights to develop and manufacture SUGARDOWN(R) for commercial sale in China, subject to establishment of quality assurance and quality control standards set forth by the Company. The Agreement provides that Advance Pharmaceutical will pay royalties to the Company for SUGARDOWN(R) and related products developed by the Company and a reduced royalty rate for products based on the Company's intellectual property and developed by Advance Pharmaceutical. Revenue generated through this agreement for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $315,000 and $17,000, respectively.

Advance Pharmaceutical, through a wholly owned subsidiary, has purchased an aggregate 1,799,800 shares of the common stock in conjunction with the Company’s private placement offerings during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The shares were purchased on the same terms as the other participants acquiring shares in the respective offerings.

On March 14, 2013 the Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock at a price per share of $0.50 and issued a warrant to purchase 250,000 additional shares for $1.00 per share for gross proceeds of $250,000 to CJY Holdings Limited, a company controlled by Conroy Chi-Heng Cheng’s brother Cheng Chi Him. The warrant is exercisable immediately and has a five year term.

In July 2013 CJY Holdings purchased 6,666,660 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,333,320 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 in the private placement conducted by the Company between July and September 2013. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 per share, are currently exercisable and have a five year term.

Between July 3, 2009 and May 7, 2012, David Platt, the Company's CEO and then CFO and Ken Tassey, President, loaned an aggregate of $297,820 to the Company and, prior to its merger with the Company, to Boston Therapeutics, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation ("BTHENH"), to fund start-up costs and current operations of the Company and BTHENH pursuant to a series of unsecured promissory notes. The Company assumed BTHENH's obligations on the notes issued by BTHENH to Dr. Platt when BTHENH merged into the Company in November 2009. The notes carry interest at 6.5%. The notes initially became due and payable at various times between March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012. On August 6, 2012, the maturity dates of each of the notes were extended to June 29, 2014. On August 2, 2013, the maturity dates of each of the notes were extended to June 29, 2015.

In December 2013, the Board of Directors agreed to indemnify Dr. Platt for legal costs incurred in connection with an arbirtration initated before the American Arbitration Association by Galectin Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly named Pro-Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) for which Dr. Platt previously served as CEO and Chairman. Galectin seeks to rescind or reform the Separation Agreement entered into with Dr. Platt upon his resignation from Galectin to remove a $1.0 million milestone payment which Dr. Platt asserts he is owed and to be repaid all separation benefits paid to Dr. Platt to date. The Company capped the amount for which it will indemnify Dr. Platt at an inital maximum of $150,000 and Dr. Platt has agreed to reimburse the indemnification amounts paid by the Company should he prevail in the arbitration. The Board decided to indemnify Dr. Platt after considering a number of factors, including the scope of the Company's existing indemnification obligations to officers and directors, the potential impact of the arbitration on the Company and Dr. Platt's agreement to reimburse the Company should he prevail. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recorded legal expense associated with this indemnification of $119,401.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

Boston Therapeutics, Inc. (, “we”, “us”, or the “Company”) is a clinical stage, publicly traded pharmaceutical Company that is focused on developing novel drug products that potentially address areas of high unmet medical needs in the treatment of diabetes. The Company intends to realize its business objectives by leveraging its expertise in complex carbohydrate chemistry. A core part of the Company’s strategy relies upon creating safe and efficacious drug formulations that can be added to existing diabetes drugs including oral medications and insulin products to treat diabetes patients. Using this strategy, the Company expects to be eligible to begin Phase III trials for one of the Company’s lead products and complete pre-clinical development studies for another within twelve months. The Company’s approach is expected to reduce overall clinical development risks and potentially develop valuable products in areas of unmet medical needs.

The Company’s strategy is to continue to leverage considerable industry experience, carbohydrate chemistry knowledge and development expertise to identify, develop and commercialize product candidates with strong market potential that can fulfill unmet medical needs in the treatment of diabetes and related medical conditions. A significant intellectual property portfolio and expertise in the clinical process supports a pathway towards market exclusivity.

We intend to seek and execute development relationships with parties that own complementary intellectual property and are capable of supporting the final stages of development of the Company’s products and their subsequent commercialization in the U.S. and in international markets. We may seek to enter into agreements with third party distributors for U.S. and international sales.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, which are included elsewhere in our Form 10-K. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risk, uncertainties and other factors. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Actual results could differ materially because of the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Form 10-K, and other factors that we may not know.

Overview

Boston Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on August 24, 2009 under the name Avanyx Therapeutics, Inc. On November 10, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Boston Therapeutics, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation (“BTI”) providing for the merger of BTI into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”), the issuance by the Company of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to the stockholders of BTI in exchange for 100% of the outstanding common stock of BTI, and the change of the Company’s name to Boston Therapeutics, Inc. David Platt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is a founder of BTI and was a director and minority stockholder of BTI at the time of the Merger. Dr. Platt received 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Merger. Kenneth A. Tassey, Jr., who became the Company’s President shortly after the Merger, was the Chief Executive Officer, President and principal stockholder of BTI at the time of the Merger. Mr. Tassey received 3,200,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the Merger.

Boston Therapeutics, headquartered in Manchester, NH, (OTC: BTHE) is a leader in the field of complex carbohydrate chemistry. The Company's initial product pipeline is focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic molecules for diabetes: BTI320 (formerly PAZ320), is a non-systemic, non-toxic, chewable therapeutic compound designed to reduce post-meal glucose elevation, and IPOXYN, an injectable anti-necrosis drug specifically designed to treat lower limb ischemia associated with diabetes. In addition, the Company has completed development of SUGARDOWN®, a complex carbohydrate-based dietary supplement. SUGARDOWN® is currently in the initial stage of market introduction, and in June 2011, we entered into an agreement with Advance Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. to develop markets in Hong Kong, South Korea, China and Macau. We also have engaged with American Medical Supplies to develop markets in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

We must raise new capital to continue our business operations and intend to use the patents and know-how contributed by our CEO and the assets acquired from BTI (as described in Notes 1 and 7 to the audited financial statements included elsewhere in this Form S-1/A) to raise capital. We anticipate the need to raise additional capital to support the planned expansion of our operations over the next 12 months to 24 months. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising additional funds.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 2013 as compared to Fiscal 2012

Revenue

Revenue for fiscal 2013 was $323,412, an increase of $281,158 as compared to revenue of $42,254 for fiscal 2012. The increase was primarily the result of shipments of SUGARDOWN® to one customer.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for fiscal 2013 was $45,207 as compared to a gross margin deficit of ($14,605) for fiscal 2012. The increase is primarily related to the shipment of product during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2013. The gross margin deficit for fiscal 2012 was primarily the result of fixed overhead costs related to moving to a new fulfillment operations and manufacturing scale-up from small to production grade equipment exceeding revenue.

Research and Development

Research and development expense for fiscal 2013 was $542,492, an increase of $363,554 as compared to $178,938 for fiscal 2012. The increase is primarily the result of increased research and development activity in preparation for BTI320’s Phase II trial in France and BTI320’s Phase III international trial.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense for fiscal 2013 was $329,218, an increase of $96,807 as compared to $232,411 for fiscal 2012. The expense consists primarily of costs incurred with third parties for product marketing and public relations and non-cash stock-based compensation.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense for fiscal 2013 was $3,753,742, an increase of $2,717,176 as compared to $1,036,566 for fiscal 2012. Approximately $991,000 of the increase is related to non-cash, stock-based compensation which includes $624,000 of expense per the terms of a terminated employee’s employment agreement and expense associated with option grants during 2012 and 2013. Consulting and professional services increased $864,000 and accounting, financial and legal professional fees increased $445,000. In addition, payroll and payroll related expense increased $272,000 due to additional personnel, rent expense increased $61,000 due to increased space and a full year’s rental and travel and entertainment expenses increased $33,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2013, we had cash of $3,387,428 and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $891,942. For the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company used $2,339,398 of cash in operations.

We have incurred recurring operating losses since inception as we have worked to bring our SUGARDOWN® product to market and develop BTI320 and IPOXYN. We expect such operating losses will continue until such time that we receive substantial revenues from SUGARDOWN® or we complete the regulatory and clinical development of BTI320 or IPOXYN. We anticipate that our cash resources will be sufficient to fund our planned operations into the second half of fiscal 2014. We plan to seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of the Company’s common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital, the Company may be required to curtail or cease operations.

PROPERTIES

We currently do not own any real property. We currently lease approximately 3,100 square feet of office space with access to common areas located at 1750 Elm Street, Suite 103, Manchester, NH 03104 on a five-year lease that expires on March 31, 2018. As a result of this the Company currently pays $4,878 per month for its space; and its rental payments will increase annually to $5,591 per month for the one year lease period ending through March 31, 2018.

Common Stock

Each share of our Common Stock entitles the holder to receive notice of and to attend all meetings of our stockholders with the entitlement to one vote. Holders of Common Stock are entitled, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class of shares ranking in priority to the Common Stock, to receive any dividend declared by the board of directors. If the Company is voluntarily or involuntarily liquidated, dissolved or wound-up, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, all of the remaining assets available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them. Holders of Common Stock have no redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of shares of Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding or that we may designate and issue in the future.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not plan to pay any such dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to use all available funds to develop our business. We can give no assurances that we will ever have excess funds available to pay dividends.

Warrants

At March 18, 2014, the following warrants were outstanding:

Investor Warrants:

Warrants to purchase 8,829,484 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. All of the warrants are currently exercisable. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,333,320 shares of Common Stock expire on July 23, 2018. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,414,113 shares of Common Stock expire on August 6, 2018. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,130,223 shares of Common Stock expire on August 30, 2018. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,951,828 shares of Common Stock expire on September 30, 2018. Upon the expiration of the Warrant exercise period, the Warrants will expire and become void.

The Company may call the Investor Warrants for redemption if during the period commencing on the initial exercise date of the Warrants and ending on their expiration date, the volume weighted average price of the our common stock reported by Bloomberg LP is at or above $2.00 for 15 consecutive trading days. In the 45 days following the redemption call (the “Redemption Term”), holders of the Investor Warrants may choose to exercise the Investor Warrants or a portion of their respective Investor Warrants by paying the then applicable exercise price of the Investor Warrants for every share exercised and any Investor Warrants subject to the call that are unexercised at the end of the Redemption Term shall be cancelled. The Company may call the Investor Warrants only with respect to those shares issuable upon exercise of Investor Warrants which are covered by an effective registration statement at the time of the call through to the end of the Redemption Term.

Placement Agent Warrants:

The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.30 per share and may be exercised on a cashless basis by the surrender of Placement Agent Warrants in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate exercise price equal to the equity value of the surrendered Placement Agent Warrants. All the Placement Agent Warrants expire on August 30, 2018. The Placement Agent Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the Placement Agent Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are, therefore, subject to a 180-day lock-up, immediately following February 11, 2014, the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA. The holder of the Placement Agent Warrants (or permitted assignees under the Rule) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will it engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of these warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.

Other Warrants:

The Company has issued warrants to certain investors and to consultants after purchase of the aggregate of 1,361,666 shares of Common Stock; all of these warrants are exercisable at prices between $0.50 and $2.00 per share (“Other Warrants”).

The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of the Investor Warrants, Placement Agent Warrants and Other Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, such as stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalization.

Holders of the Investor Warrants have no voting, pre-emptive, subscription or other rights of shareholders in respect of the Investor Warrants, Placement Agent Warrants and Other Warrants, nor shall the holders of such warrants be entitled to receive dividends.

Registration Rights

Between July 23, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company entered into and conducted multiple closings under a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors in a private offering, referred to as a Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) offering for an aggregate of (i) 17,659,007 shares of Common Stock and (ii) Investor Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,829,484 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Placement Agent also received Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 1,808,849 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.

The investors in the PIPE offering are entitled to have the 17,659,007 shares of Common Stock they purchased in the PIPE offering and the 8,829,484 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered into among the Company and such holders. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in these shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Placement Agent is also entitled to have shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement but has elected not to have such shares registered in the registration statement.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company has agreed to file this registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued in the PIPE offering and issuable upon the exercise of the Investor Warrants by the investors in the PIPE offering no later than November 14, 2013, and to use best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective on or before sixty (60) days following the initial filing date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part (the “Filing Date”) (in case of no SEC review) or one hundred eighty (180) days following the Filing Date (in the case of an SEC review). If the Company does not cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the applicable deadline and the delay is not solely caused by publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff with respect to rules under the Securities Act limiting the number of shares that can be included on the registration statement, then each selling shareholder will be entitled to liquidated damages, payable in cash equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such selling shareholder for the securities, and an additional 1% for each month that the Company does not cause the registration statement to be declared effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall liquidated damages exceed 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering to the selling shareholders. The investors shall have piggyback registration rights with respect to any portion of the shares of Common Stock that they are entitled to have registered under this registration statement that are not included in this registration statement.

Resale of Restricted Securities

Rule 144

Rule 144 provides an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 for sales by holders of "restricted securities" (i.e., securities acquired directly or indirectly from the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer in a transaction or chain of transactions not involving a public offering) and for sales of "control securities" (i.e., securities held by affiliates, regardless of how they acquired them).

In February 2008, amendments to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 that substantially liberalized the rules governing the resale of securities issued in private transactions or held by affiliates became effective. The amendments shortened the holding periods for restricted securities of public companies, significantly reduced the conditions applicable to sales of restricted securities by non-affiliates, and modified other aspects of the rules.

Under amended Rule 144, holders of restricted securities of reporting companies (i.e., companies that have been subject to public reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale) are able to sell their securities after holding them for only six months, subject to specified conditions. Sales under Rule 144 may also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the combined company.

Sales by Non-Affiliates under Rule 144

After six months but prior to one year from the date of acquisition of securities from the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer, non-affiliates of reporting companies may resell those securities under Rule 144 subject only to the current public information requirement described below. They will not have to file a Form 144, follow manner-of-sale requirements, or stay within the volume limitations. After holding securities for one year, non-affiliates of both reporting and non-reporting companies may resell those securities freely without any additional conditions under Rule 144.

Sales by Affiliates

In general, affiliates are subject to all of the requirements under Rule 144.

· Current public information. There must be adequate current public information available about the issuer. Reporting companies must have been subject to public reporting requirements for at least 90 days immediately before the Rule 144 sale and must have filed all required reports (other than Forms 8-K) during the 12 months (or shorter period that the company was subject to public reporting) before the sale. For non-reporting companies (including companies that have been subject to the public reporting requirements for less than 90 days), certain other specified public information must be available.

· Holding period. Restricted securities must be held for at least six months before they may be sold (securities issued in registered transactions are not subject to a holding period). The holding period for restricted securities of non-reporting companies is one year.

· Volume limitations. For equity securities, in any three-month period, re-sales may not exceed a sales volume limitation equal to the greater of (i) the average weekly trading volume for the preceding four calendar weeks, or (ii) one percent of the outstanding securities of the class. The volume limitation for debt securities permits the sale of up to 10% of a tranche or class of debt securities in any three-month period. However, since our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which is not an “automated quotation system,” our stockholders will not be able to rely on the market-based trading volume provision described in clause (i) above. If, in the future, our securities are listed on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ, then our stockholders would be able to rely on the market-based trading volume provision. Unless and until our stock is so listed or quoted, our stockholders can only rely on the percentage based volume provision described in clause (ii) above.

· Manner-of-sale requirements. Resales of equity securities must be made in unsolicited "brokers' transactions" or transactions directly with a "market maker" and must comply with other specified requirements. Equity securities may be sold in "riskless principal transactions" (in addition to "brokers' transactions" and transactions directly with a "market maker").

· Filing of Form 144. The seller must file a Form 144 if the amount of securities being sold in any three-month period exceeds the lesser of 5,000 shares or $50,000 in aggregate sales price.

Director Independence

Four of the members of the board of directors are “independent” as defined under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Provisions of the Company’s Charter or By-Laws which would delay, deter or prevent a change in control of the Company

There are no special provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws which would specifically delay, deter or prevent a change in control of the Company. Additionally, the Company has 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized and undesignated. Shares of preferred stock designated by our Board of Directors in the future may have voting powers superior to our common stock, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as adopted by the Board of Directors. Such preferred stock, if authorized in the future, may contain provisions (including voting rights) which could delay, deter or prevent a change in control of the Company.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth as of March 18, 2014, information regarding the current beneficial ownership of our common stock by the persons identified, based on information provided to us by them, which we have not independently verified. Although we have assumed for purposes of the table that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares offered by this prospectus, because they may from time to time offer all or some of their shares under this prospectus or in another manner, no assurance can be given as to the actual number of shares that will be resold by the selling stockholder (or any of them), or that will be held after completion of the resales. In addition, a selling stockholder may have sold or otherwise disposed of shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or otherwise since the date he or she provided information to us. The selling stockholders are not making any representation that the shares covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale. Except as set forth below, no selling stockholder has held any position nor had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the past three years. Each of the selling stockholders has advised the Company that it is not a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.

* Less than one percent

(1)	This table is based upon information supplied by the selling shareholder. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned are based on an aggregate of 37,452,176 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 18, 2014 and, to the extent applicable, the warrants to purchase common stock held by the persons for whom such number and percentage is being calculated. All of the Investor Warrants are currently exercisable.
(2)	Because each of the selling shareholders identified in this table may sell some, all or none of the shares owned by it that are registered under this registration statement, and because, to our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares registered hereunder, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares available for resale hereby that will be held by the selling shareholders at the time of this registration statement. Therefore, we have assumed for purposes of this table that each of the selling shareholders will sell all of the shares beneficially owned by it.

In a series of closings between July 23, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company entered into and closed a Unit Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors in a private offering, referred to as a PIPE offering for an aggregate of (i) 17,659,007 shares of Common Stock and (ii) five-year Investor Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,829,484 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.3 million. In connection with the PIPE offering, the Company issued Placement Agent warrants to the Placement Agent for the purchase of 1,808,849 shares at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. In connection with the PIPE offering, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement requiring the Company to register for resale the shares of Common Stock purchased by the investors and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Investor Warrants purchased by the investors.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the OTCQB or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. The Placement Agent will not charge a commission to the Selling Stockholders of more than one percent (1%) of the sales price of the shares of common stock sold in this offering by the Selling Stockholders.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Stockholders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

See “Security Ownership of Executive Officers, Directors and Five Percent Stockholders” for further details as to their beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock. Collectively). these holders own an aggregate of 23,173,377 shares of our Common Stock, or 61.9% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

The Company's directors and executive officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company's Bylaws. These provisions state that the Company's directors may cause the Company to indemnify a director or former director against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him as a result of him acting as a director. The indemnification of costs can include an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment. Such indemnification is at the discretion of the Company's board of directors and is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's policy regarding indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees as to which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in claims for indemnification.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending an action may be paid by a corporation in advance of the final disposition of an action if the director or officer undertakes to repay the advanced amounts if it is determined such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Company’s Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person, or the person for whom he is the legally representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company, against all liabilities, losses, expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.

The Company’s By-laws provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, directors and officers of the Company (and, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, employees and agents of the Company to the extent that Delaware law permits the Company to provide indemnification to such persons) in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted under Section 145 of the DGCL, subject only to limits created by applicable Delaware law (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Company, its stockholders and others. The provision does not affect directors’ responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

The Company intends to enter into agreements with its directors and executive officers, that will require the Company to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred (including attorneys’ fees), and advance expenses if requested by such person, in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating, or preparing for any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding or any alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any inquiry, hearing, or investigation (collectively, a “Proceeding”), relating to any event or occurrence that takes place either prior to or after the execution of the indemnification agreement, related to the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or while a director or officer is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, or fiduciary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust, or other enterprise, or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation that was a predecessor corporation of the Company or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation, or related to anything done or not done by such person in any such capacity, whether or not the basis of the Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company. Indemnification is prohibited on account of any Proceeding in which judgment is rendered against such persons for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by such persons of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local laws. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.

Insurance

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against liability under the provisions of this section. The Company currently maintains such insurance.

Settlement by the Company

The right of any person to be indemnified is subject always to the right of the Company by its Board of Directors, in lieu of such indemnity, to settle any such claim, action, suit or proceeding at the expense of the Company by the payment of the amount of such settlement and the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters with respect to the issuance of shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed upon by Seyfarth Shaw LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.

EXPERTS

The financial statements of the Company appearing in this Prospectus and Registration Statement, have been audited by McGladrey LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing elsewhere herein (which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern), and are included in reliance upon such report and upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Boston Therapeutics, Inc.

Manchester, New Hampshire

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Boston Therapeutics, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Boston Therapeutics, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s limited resources and operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

1. GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

The Company’s primary business is the development, manufacture and commercialization of therapeutic drugs with a focus on complex carbohydrate chemistry to address unmet medical needs in diabetes and inflammatory diseases. We have brought one product, SUGARDOWN®, to market and have begun to make initial sales. We are currently focused on the development of two additional drug products: BTI320, a non-systemic, non-toxic, chewable tablet for reduction of post-meal blood glucose in people living with diabetes that is fully developed, and IPOXYN, an injectable anti-necrosis, anti-hypoxia drug that we are currently developing.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited resources and operating history. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $7.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and used cash in operations of approximately $2.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception as it has worked to bring its SUGARDOWN® product to market and develop BTI320 and IPOXYN. Management expects such operating losses will continue until such time that substantial revenues are received from SUGARDOWN® or the regulatory and clinical development of BTI320 or IPOXYN is completed. Management anticipates that the Company’s cash resources will be sufficient to fund its planned operations into the second half of fiscal 2014. Management plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of the Company’s common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital, the Company may be required to curtail or cease operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepting in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Information

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate, discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES - continued

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting within the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from sales of SUGARDOWN®. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, the product is shipped and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized as product is shipped from an outside fulfillment operation. In practice, the Company has not experienced or granted significant returns of product. Shipping fees charged to customers are included in revenue and shipping costs are included in costs of sales.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, one customer accounted for 97% and 40%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2012, one additional customer accounted for 35% of the Company's revenue.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management establishes a reserve for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that remain outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off against the allowance. There were no allowances for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has one customer that accounts for 100% of its accounts receivable. The Company believes there is minimal risk associated with this receivable.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods of SUGARDOWN®. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, not in excess of net realizable value. The Company adjusts the carrying value of its inventory for excess and obsolete inventory. The Company continues to monitor the valuation of its inventory.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Asset Category	Estimated Useful Life
Office Furniture and Equipment	5 years
Computer Equipment and Software	3 years

The Company begins to depreciate assets when they are placed in service. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $2,818 and $682, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of identifiable finite-lived assets acquired in business acquisitions. Acquired intangible assets are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and are amortized over their economic useful lives on a straight line basis.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES - continued

Goodwill

The Company follows the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under ASC 350, goodwill and certain other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually.

As the Company operates its business in one operating segment and one reporting unit, the Company’s goodwill is assessed at the Company level for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. If the Company’s qualitative assessment reveals that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, the Company performs the two-step impairment test. Alternatively, the Company may bypass the qualitative test and initiate goodwill impairment testing with the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.

During the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then the Company concludes that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure possible goodwill impairment loss. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

The Company performed its impairment review of goodwill utilizing the qualitative assessment method for the year ended December 31, 2013 and concluded that no impairment existed. The Company performed its impairment review of goodwill utilizing the quantitative assessment method for the year ended December 31, 2012 and concluded no impairment existed.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, which include the Company’s intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets are compared to the assets’ carrying values. Adjustments to fair value are made if the sum of expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than book value. To date, no adjustments for impairment have been made.

Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed based on the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average actual shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period unless the effect of such common equivalent shares would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of certain outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. The weighted average number of common shares for the year ended December 31, 2013 did not include 5,741,400 and 11,974,999 options and warrants, respectively, because of their anti-dilutive effect. The weighted average number of common shares for the year ended December 31, 2012 did not include 7,708,400 and 645,000 options and warrants, respectively, because of their anti-dilutive effect.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or be settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the gross deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of provision for income taxes. The Company did not recognize any interest and penalty expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are reported as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the selling and marketing expenses in the statements of operations. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $25,068 and $51,497, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development expenditures are charged to the statement of operations as incurred. Such costs include proprietary research and development activities, purchased research and development, and expenses associated with research and development contracts, whether performed by the Company or contracted with independent third parties.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

The carrying value of the notes payable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, is not materially different from the fair value of the notes payable.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are principally cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in highly rated financial institutions. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with financial institutions that occasionally exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances, and management believes its credit risk to be minimal.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock–based compensation, including grants of employee and non-employee stock options and modifications to existing stock options, is recognized in the income statement based on the estimated fair value of the awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted and recognizes the compensation cost of share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.

The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by the stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company has a limited history of market prices of its common stock and as such volatility is estimated using historical volatilities of similar public entities. The expected life of the awards is estimated based on the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the terms of our awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on history and expectation of paying no dividends. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Stock-Based Compensation - continued

The Company grants stock options to non-employee consultants from time to time in exchange for services performed for the Company. Equity instruments granted to non-employees are subject to periodic revaluation over their vesting terms. In general, the options vest over the contractual period of the respective consulting arrangement and, therefore, the Company revalues the options periodically and records additional compensation expense related to these options over the remaining vesting period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of material, labor and manufacturing overhead and are recorded at the lower of cost, using the weighted average cost method, or net realizable value.

The components of inventories at December 31, 2013 and 2012, net of inventory reserves, were as follows:

	2013		2012
Raw materials	$	7,672	$	13,125
Work in process		-		-
Finished goods		102,953		3,684
Total	$	110,625	$	16,809

The Company periodically reviews quantities of inventory on hand and compares these amounts to expected usage of each particular product or product line. The Company records, as a charge to cost of sales, any amounts required to reduce the carrying value to net realizable value.

4. ACCRUED EXPENSES

The following table represents the major components of accrued expenses at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

	2013		2012
Professional fees	$	331,494	$	95,567

The warrant is exercisable immediately and has a five year term. The Company has evaluated these warrants for proper classification based on terms of the warrant agreement and has determined that equity classification is appropriate.

9. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no provision for income taxes was recorded as the Company generated net operating losses of $2,680,473 and $943,849, respectively.

A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows:

	2013			2012
Net operating loss carryforwards		34.0	%		34.0	%
State taxes, net of federal benefit		5.5	%		6.3	%
Federal research and development tax credit		0.2	%		0.0	%
Other		(0.5)	%		0.0	%
Change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance		(39.2)	%		(40.3)	%
Effective income tax rate		0.0	%		0.0	%

Net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following:


	2013		2012
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	1,781,334	$	1,064,457
Tax credit carryforwards		12,499		-
Non-qualified stock options		857,613		-
Other temporary differences		164,379		21,786
Gross deferred tax assets		2,815,825		1,086,243
Valuation allowance		(2,815,825)		(1,086,243	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	-	$	-

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of $4,497,182, which begin to expire in years 2029 and 2019, respectively. The Company also has available research and development tax credit carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $12,499, which begin to expire in year 2032. Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 due to ownership changes that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income.

The Company provided a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets generated since, based on the weight of available evidence; it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $1,729,582 due to the continued likelihood that realization of any future benefit from deductible temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards cannot be sufficiently assured at December 31, 2013. Management reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, (originally issued as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). The Company has not recognized any liability for unrecognized tax benefits and does not believe there is any uncertainty with respect to its tax position. The Company’s policy with respect to unrecognized tax benefits is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and state jurisdictions, where applicable. There are currently no pending income tax examinations. The Company’s tax years are still open under statute from 2010 to the present. Earlier years may be examined to the extent that tax credit or net operating loss carryforwards are used in future periods. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income taxes as part of its income tax provision.
