Union Spring Pharmaceuticals

Based in Erlanger, Kentucky, Union Spring Pharmaceuticals (USP) operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Drug Enhancement Company of America. The company's business model is centered on licensing, developing, and commercializing over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical products. USP was founded by Roger Griggs, a seasoned entrepreneur with a history of establishing multiple pharmaceutical companies, including Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and PediaMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. He also serves as a Managing Director of Union Springs LLC, a venture capital firm focused on life sciences. His extensive background in founding, building, and positioning healthcare companies for global expansion has been pivotal to the company's direction.

The company's core mission is to provide protective solutions for individuals in high-risk professions. The primary clientele includes first responders, healthcare professionals, law enforcement, corrections officers, and military personnel who are frequently exposed to pathogens and hazardous environments. While the main distribution is business-to-business sales to municipalities and government organizations, products are also available for direct consumer purchase via the company's website. Revenue is generated through the sale of its specialized product lines.

A key product in their portfolio is MyClyns, a personal protection spray launched in early 2008. Originally developed by a California firm, USP refined the product, enabling it to be safely sprayed on sensitive areas like the eyes, nose, and mouth for germ defense. Since its introduction, MyClyns has been sold to over 1,200 municipalities in the United States and has received approval for sale in Europe. Expanding its offerings, USP launched ViralClyns 95, a respirator designed to inactivate viruses and bacteria. The company also markets the T-5000 Series P-95 respirators, which feature an EPA-approved antimicrobial agent for enhanced protection. In 2017, Union Springs Healthcare, another entity founded by Roger Griggs, sold five of its nutritional supplements designed to support brain health, behavior, and sleep to Enzymotec Ltd.
