The story of humanity has always been intertwined with nature.
The abundant gifts from nature have enriched human life, and alongside the remarkable advances in science and technology, humanity has achieved the dream of extended lifespan. However, this progress has also brought about various chronic diseases associated with aging.
Many previously prominent synthetic drugs have increasingly faced development limitations due to high toxicity and narrow therapeutic ranges. In contrast, the research and development of foods, health supplements, and pharmaceuticals utilizing safe natural substances continue to be highly active worldwide.
Natural substances with various therapeutic effects have been consumed by humans as food for a long time, resulting in significantly lower confirmed toxicity and side effects compared to synthetic drugs. However, directly extracting these potent active compounds from natural sources is very challenging, and even when ingested, the absorption rate in the body is only about 1–10%, making it difficult to achieve actual efficacy.
BeNature Bio Lab has developed a proprietary core technology, HME-DDS (Hot-Melt Extrusion Drug Delivery System), an eco-friendly molten extrusion drug delivery system that maximizes the superior efficacy of abundant natural compounds provided by nature. Utilizing this technology, we are actively conducting research and development suitable for health functional foods, cosmetic ingredients, and pharmaceuticals. Unlike conventional natural product processing methods such as organic solvent extraction, microparticle utilization, and fermentation processes, our technology is fundamentally differentiated and has demonstrated up to a 50-fold improvement in absorption efficiency through various animal studies.
BeNature Bio Lab, leveraging its HME-DDS platform technology, will make every effort to become a leading global biotech company by expanding not only in the domestic market but also into the global market.
