Natural Products

Multiple drug resistance has encouraged scientist to look for antibiotic alternatives for controlling infections. Mother nature has provided many natural products with antimicrobial, healing and remedial properties for biomedical applications. At iNatural Ltd, our scientists specialise in selecting these natural potent materials, converting the active compounds into suitable formulations, using appropriate techniques, and evaluating their biological compatibility, to enhance their translational biomedical application potential. At iNatural Ltd., our research team specialise in using natural products for wound health and for gut health, as prebiotics. We are actively involved in research and development in these biomedical sectors.

Gut Health

• In the realm of nutrition and digestive health, prebiotics have gained significant attention for their beneficial impact on the gut microbiome. Various plant-based sources serve as a nourishing substrate for beneficial gut bacteria, fostering their growth and activity and promote overall well-being.

• Psyllium husk, derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, is rich in soluble fibre and renowned for its capacity to enhance bowel movements and alleviate constipation.

• Inulin, a naturally occurring carbohydrate found in various plant sources, is used to enrich food with natural fibres. Together, these prebiotic powerhouses offer a compelling synergy that can positively influence our digestive health and pave the way for a more balanced and vibrant lifestyle.

Latest News

Wound care News

Wound care's significance has surged within the healthcare sector, primarily driven by the rising prevalence of chronic wounds in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, and obese patients. Additionally, the global diabetic incidence, as reported by the World Health Organization, has climbed from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014, further accentuating the need for advanced wound treatment. The management of wound care presents a significant challenge, evident in the 2022 global market estimate exceeding $20.8 billion, and it is expected to rise to approximately $27.2 billion by 2027.

Gut Health News

Numerous adults are uninformed about their gut health The adult human gut houses trillions of microorganisms, encompassing over 1,000 species, forming a symbiotic relationship with the host. This intestinal microflora plays a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune system regulation, and Wound Care. Dysbiosis, an imbalance in this ecosystem can result from loss of beneficial organisms or excessive growth of potentially harmful organisms. It is associated with diseases like Inflammatory Bowel Disease, obesity, Type 1 diabetes, and colorectal cancer in humans. Elements such as insufficient sleep, heightened stress levels, antibiotic use, and an unhealthy diet can influence the gut health. Should you observe indicators of compromised gut health, modifying lifestyle factors could enhance your gut microbiome and contribute to your overall well-being. Eating healthy diet with a good balance of prebiotics and probiotics can help balance gut microflora. In 2021, the global prebiotics market attained a worth of $6.05 billion, and it is anticipated to demonstrate a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9% from 2022 to 2030. Concurrently, the probiotics market is experiencing rapid expansion, with an expected CAGR of 8.1% between 2022 and 2027.
