TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

This technology involves the development of a spray designed to enhance immunity and combat inflammation while effectively inhibiting respiratory viruses, including H1N1, RSV, and COVID-19, as demonstrated in pre-clinical testing. The product is a result of a comprehensive process, starting from the cultivation of specific target plants for extracting key compounds, leading to formulation development, and culminating in non-clinical and clinical studies. The primary problem addressed by this technology is the need for effective virus prevention and inflammation reduction, particularly among individuals interested in maintaining their health and preventing viral infections, such as reducing susceptibility to respiratory diseases.

The target audience for this technology includes individuals who are interested in proactive health maintenance and seek to protect themselves from viral infections while mitigating inflammation-related health issues. This IP addresses a significant need in the marketplace by offering a proactive solution for individuals looking to bolster their immune systems and reduce the risk of viral infections, which has become especially pertinent in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the technology's focus on inflammation reduction aligns with the growing awareness of the importance of immune system support and overall health optimization, making it a relevant and valuable innovation for health-conscious consumers.

The technology owner is seeking for licensing and R&D collaborations into other various applications.

TECHNOLOGY FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

The technical features and specifications of this innovative virus prevention and immune enhancement spray can be described as follows:

  1. Active Ingredients: The spray contains a proprietary blend of natural compounds derived from specific target plants known for their antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. These active ingredients are carefully extracted and formulated to ensure maximum efficacy.
  2. Formulation: The technology involves a specialized formulation process that optimizes the stability and bioavailability of the active ingredients. This ensures that the spray can effectively deliver the desired benefits when applied.
  3. Virus Inhibition: The spray has been rigorously tested and proven to inhibit a range of respiratory viruses, including H1N1, RSV, and COVID-19, at a pre-clinical level. Specific data on the extent of virus inhibition and the mechanism of action may be provided as part of the product's technical specifications.
  4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Apart from virus inhibition, the technology addresses inflammation reduction. It includes compounds that help mitigate inflammation, which is a key aspect of supporting overall health and reducing the risk of various chronic diseases.

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS

With its focus on virus prevention, immune enhancement, and inflammation reduction, this technology has a wide range of potential applications across several industries such as: 

  1. Health and Wellness Supplements: Dietary supplements and capsules containing the active ingredients for daily immune support. Immunity-boosting powders or effervescent tablets for easy consumption. Multivitamin formulations enriched with these active compounds.
  2. Pharmaceuticals: Antiviral medications for specific viral infections, developed using the active ingredients as a basis while dosage depend on product type. Anti-inflammatory drugs designed to address chronic inflammation-related diseases. Beyond viral, immune, and inflammatory protection, this technology is in the midst of researching additional functions, such as the ability to kill cancer cells, control blood sugar, and aid in the prevention of heart disease. All of these potential benefits are currently under study and research.
  3. Personal Care and Cosmetics: Skincare products like serums and creams formulated to reduce skin inflammation and promote healthy skin. Lip balms or oral care products with antiviral properties for oral health.
  4. Hospitality and Travel: Antiviral sprays or wipes for disinfecting surfaces in hotels, airplanes, and public transportation. Immunity-boosting amenities or offerings in hospitality services to enhance guest health and safety.

Market Trends & Opportunities

The heightened awareness of immune health and viral protection due to COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with an ageing population growing demand for immune support and inflammation- reducing products, underscores the relevance of this technology. The trend of health-conscious consumers actively seeking well-being solutions further enhances its market appeal. While the exact market size may vary based on location and specific applications, these factors collectively suggest a significant and expanding market for this technology, contingent on effective marketing, distribution, and adherence to regulatory standards.

Unique Value Proposition

Antiviral Properties: This technology has antiviral properties against various viruses, such as influenza H1N1, COVID-19, as well as RSV.  Broad-spectrum antiviral efficacy achieved using natural and sustainable ingredients.

Anti-inflammatory Effects: Inflammation plays a pivotal role in the body's immune response. This technology has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This can potentially modulate the immune response and reduce the severity of diseases like allergies and asthma.

Mast Cell Stabilization: This technology has been shown to stabilize mast cells and reduce the release of histamine, which is implicated in allergic responses.

Improved Pharmacokinetics: Natural extracts usually exhibits low pharmacokinetics, the technology encompass processes to enhance the pharmacokinetics of these extracts, making them more bioavailable and effective. Besides the oral spray, a nasal spray formulation is in development.

Compatibility: The extracts are tailored to be compatible with water-based products, further broadening their potential applications.

The technology presents itself as a versatile, science-backed, and holistic approach to wellness. Unlike many single-purpose application, this technology offers a well-rounded and forward-thinking solution that addresses multiple facets of health, setting it apart as a transformative and indispensable innovation in the field.
