• Bonusapien Industries

  Bonusapien Industries is a secretive corporation, as most scientific companies are. Whether they fear exposure of dark secrets or merely thievery of their discoveries is unknown.
  
  What is known is that BI deals with the improvement of the human race. Weight loss pills, protein shakes, and developing therapies are just a few things that BI produces for the general public. Their products tend to be very powerful, and thus are not usually sold in simple pharmacies, grocery stores, or even vitamin shops. All products are either prescribed by doctors or sold under the table online or by connections. Due to this, BI products are banned from some sports, and are classified as mild steroids, despite no real proof of this has been revealed to the public. In addition to these general products, BI is also known to work with the American military, developing products to aid the US soldiers in battle--but all of their offerings are still being tested in American facilities before being deemed safe for use in the field. There have been murmurings of BI having dealings with other countries as well, but they are usually confined to the British Isles and France. Their products are banned in other countries, such as Canada and the Netherlands, due to questionable ingredients and methods of production.
  
  However, as is the case with the general public, their name isn't recognized by the usual citizen, as their products for the public are processed and distributed by other companies. Usually those only in the scientific community or government are aware of BI's presence in the country. And Bonusapien Industries likes it that way.
