Summary

A Singapore SME has developed a database of clinically useful herbs and functional herbal blends designed for targeted health benefits, using specific ratios of herbs for effective outcomes. 

The SME seeks to partner food and nutritional supplements SMEs in R&D, licensing or manufacturing agreements for the supply of ingredients. The partner is sought from Germany or a EUREKA country with bi-lateral funding arrangements with Singapore.

Description

Most of the currently available health supplements are general supplements that lack a functional impact. As a result, customers buy and consume multiple health supplements with no significant visible or biochemical outcomes.



The technology, developed by a Singapore SME that offers a one-stop solution for health supplements is a functional proprietary database of clinically useful herbs based on clinical research and trials that is continually updated and expanded.



Based on the knowledge of Ayurveda medicine, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM) and Unani medicine, the database currently has 166 Ayurveda herbs, 76 TCM herbs and 26 Unani herbs.  



This database was derived through work with herbalists, farmers and ground sources over a span of three years. The scientific processing and standardisation for each herb was developed based on international quality control guidelines, including heavy metals and microbiological profile testing.  



Using this database of clinically useful herbs and scientific references, the company has developed customisable, clinically tested, functional and holistic polyherbal nutraceuticals. The all-natural poly-herbal blend was designed using a specific ratio of herbs with a particular function, which has effective outcomes.  



These herbal and multi-micronutrient formulation blends target health conditions such as the following:



•	Brain enhancement supplements that combine 24 cognitive-enhancing ingredients to meet the human brain's complex health requirements



•	Men wellness supplements that combine essential vitamins and minerals to improve health and sexual vigour



•	Female wellness health supplements that use a combination of TCM, Ayurveda and biochemistry to restore a woman's sexual health



•	Weight management program that helps end-users to lose weight steadily and healthily 



•	Liver care supplements that combine potent antioxidants such as alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin C with liver-protecting herbs to detoxify and protect the liver



•	Diabetes supplements that help patients manage Type 2 diabetes through a combination of 16 herbs, 8 vitamins, 5 minerals and 3 antioxidants 



•	Kidney wellness supplement with nephroprotective herbs that help keep the kidney in optimum health 



•	Vision support supplement protects against the ill effects of blue light and radiation



•	Immunity enhancer supplement that is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and essential metals like zinc helps to regulate sleep, decrease anxiety and stress, and increase the metabolic rate which helps to boost immunity 



•	Fatigue and stress management supplement which reduces anxiety and stress, calms all senses and provides increased energy and endurance



All the products are manufactured in good manufacturing practices (GMP) certified facilities tested for high quality. They are Halal certified, GMO- and chemical filler-free.



This technology offers the potential to target multiple markets including the following:

•	Health supplements companies

•	Government clinics 

•	Retail marketing chains looking for holistic and functional all-natural health supplements



The SME seeks to partner SMEs in the food, neutraceuticals and  supplements industry in research cooperation, licensing or manufacturing agreements such as original equipment manufacturing (OEM) for the supply of ingredients. 



A partner from Germany or a EUREKA country with bi-lateral funding arrangements with Singapore would be preferred.
