Anti-Ageing

We develop organic or conventional based on the client's specifications and physiology. We source both plant and animal-based ingredients to formulate anti-ageing food and nutraceutical products. We develop products that come from the well-proven scientific evidence, including calorie restriction-based diet plans or meal kits. Many food sources such as turmeric, onion, garlic, tomato, oranges, citrus fruits, oils and seeds, avocado, garlic, grapes, wine, berries, cocoa, chocolate, eggplant, tea, ginkgo Biloba, Panax ginseng, green & black tea, Brazilian propolis, vegetable fibers, Scutellaria biacalensis, hyericum perfuratum, white and red wine, fatty fish and more. Or from bioactive compounds carnosine, curcuminoids, DHA, Flavonoids, MUFA, Organosulfure compounds, phytosterols, polyphenols, ascorbic acid, Egb761 extract, gallic acid, ginsenosides, phenols, Indol-3-carbinol, fish oils, protopanaxadiol, Coenzyme Q10, melatonin, lipoic acid, nicotinamide, n-3 fatty acid, selenium, zinc, Lycopene and many more. Recently, kombucha tea based on seagrapes, bacopa monnieri, Emblica Officinalis, ginkgo Biloba, glycyrrhiza glabra, polyphenols extracted from apple, blue berry, tea catechins, theaflavins, black rice, carotenoids, the citrus-based juice mixture, antioxidant activities and free radical scavenging effect of selenoproteins extracted from selenium-rich rice, all these have been proven to an extent to reduce H2O2-induced cell damage and intracellular reactive oxygen species production in human dermal fibroblasts.

The formulation depends on the requirements and classifies them. For instance, we identify natural raw materials that have required properties or extract chemical constituents (active ingredients) such as nutrients and herbals [(e.g., Polysaccharides can be extracted from different plants such as Silybum marianum L. (milk thistle)], phytochemicals, polyunsaturated fatty acids, or extract probiotics, and prebiotics or nutraceutical enzymes. We also carry out formulation in non-traditional forms by fortification or recombinant nutraceuticals. In addition, we also change the processing method to change the rheological behaviour of the product. For instance, germination of brown rice, fermentation, phosphorylation of rice flour, pre-gelatinization, extrusion, and convention of whey protein to whey protein particles using a cold gelation method

FRL's scientists and formulation experts develop anti-aging claim products with varying dosages have the capacity to modulate the sensory quality and stabilizing properties as well.

We can formulate the products in the form of ready-to-drink, ready-to-serve, ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, ready-to-drink, ready-to-mix protein powders, meal replacement drinks, sports bars and formulations along with soft or hard gels, capsules, tablets, syrups, gummies, or sachets containing a concentrated source of minerals, vitamins, or botanical extracts.

FRL's scientists and formulation experts develop a highly functional strength product that provides the intended results. We adhere to the international guidelines and formulate our product to make the product high fibre, low, or no sodium claim, low or no sugar claim, and low or no-fat (saturated fat) claims at the same time meet the dairy free claim as well. Our formulation experts ensure that the end product would meet the required pH, dispersibility, efficacious dosage, shelf life, glycemic index, desired satiety, mouthfeel, flavour, odor and taste. Through years of expertise and knowledge, we bring in the right solutions that fit your requirements.

Any ingredient incorporated into the formulation needs to achieve its intended function in the human body at the same time, must adhere to safety guidelines. At FRL, we substantiate this from many different types of investigation, including secondary research for existing ingredients or, if it's novel, publishing the work in reputable, peer-reviewed journals. Data for this will be derived from chemical comparisons and analysis, activities (e.g., ORAC or oxygen radical absorbance activities), testing in animal models, genomic/gene expression studies, in vitro bioassays and, most compelling of all, human clinical testing. Through years of expertise and knowledge, we bring in the right solutions that fit your requirements.

We follow quality measures to ensure the products are safe from both the supplier and the buyer's perspectives. We carry out Marker Chemistry (e.g., HPLC, GC etc.), Microbiology tests (e.g., Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Escherichia Coli), heavy metal analysis (e.g., lead, arsenic, cadmium kept below the regulatory limits), Contamination (e.g., metal flakes from machinery), physical characteristics (e.g., powders for tablets must have low moisture content) and stability (e.g., the time for a product from initial production). We use compendium methods (USP and European Pharmacopeia) for an extensive validation process.

We follow a specific set of regulations that a product must adhere to. This includes manufacturing flow chart, solvents, quantitative ingredient lists, physical characteristics, GMO status, certifications, radiations, pesticide/chemical/ residue, contaminants, microbiology, allergens, animal derivation, and safety (Standard Material Safety Data Sheet – toxicity or clinical testing). We assist ensure to clear the ingredient supplier completes clearance through the target country’s regulatory agency prior to its inclusion in formulas. Through our years of experience, our team can speed up the acceptance and inclusion of new material. Our product development team complies with the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FDA 2009), DSHEA and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (Federal Trade Commission 2011), safety and quality food and food supplements guidelines delineated by WHO and the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). Our team ensures to use only acceptable ingredients that are found in the International Nomenclature. We also adhere to the local country’s guidelines as per the client’s request, such as for the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW), The Chinese Health Care Association (CHCA), China’s State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) and FSSAI.
