Iminosugars are common in many foods but rarely reported. There are variety differences and selection of modern varieties often eliminates them from the diet. We are world leaders.
About
We have over 20 years of experience in pharmaceutical discovery and development and are applying this knowledge and associated IP to novel natural ingredients with health benefits. The sources are food plants which are selected based on specific iminosugar components we have identified as having useful activities.
Key Benefits
There are a range of product opportunities. The applications include shelf-life, energy balance, weight control, blood and skin sugar control, immune function and anti-ageing. The technology involves selecting the right varieties and species and processing them in a way to ensure the beneficial iminosugars are not lost or reduced. Extracting for colourful components such as flavonoids reduces iminosugars in the end product.
Applications
blood sugar control, weight, energy balance, skin health, neurological function, immune support
