Inc. is engaged in the research, development and sale of products
that counteract the harmful effects of “oxidative stress.”
Oxidative stress refers to the situations in which the body’s antioxidant and other
defensive abilities to combat free radicals (a.k.a highly reactive
species of oxygen and nitrogen) are overwhelmed and one’s normal
healthy balance is either lost or severely compromised.
There products include therapeutic nutraceutical products, cosmeceutical
products and proprietary formulations and clinical products that are developed internally and/or out-licensed to biotech and pharmaceutical
companies as drug candidates.
They focus on
naturally occurring protective substances since they are more likely
to be both safe and efficacious. Our primary products incorporate
and emphasize the multifaceted “super antioxidant” compound,L-Ergothioneine (“ERGO”), as a key component. We own several patents and
pending applications related to ERGO that cover current and planned products
relevant to our nutraceutical and cosmecuetical businesses. Our patents and patent applications address ERGO’s protective effects and activities
and the ERGO manufacturing process.
