Brief description of main products or services 

ANKASCIN^® 568-R is extracted from fermented products of patented functional red yeast strain (Monascus purpureus NTU 568). Unlike conventional manual fermentation with derivative quality instability, this premium ingredient is the only red yeast fermented extract manufactured using an exclusive automated solid state fermentation technique. ANKASCIN^® 568-R is FREE of risky lovastatin/monacolin K but contains high levels of another two new active compounds (Monascin and Ankaflavin). Safety and functions have been verified through plenty of animal and clinical studies. In 2015, this ingredient was honorably reviewed and accepted by the US FDA as a NEW DIETARY INGREDIENT (NDI), which made it the only eligible red yeast ingredient on the US market that could legally apply claims and clearly specify the contents of active compounds. Therefore, it is greatly suitable for formulation of dietary supplements and fortified foods.

Vigiis^® 101-LAB contains an excellent patented functional strain Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei NTU 101, which is a legally edible probiotic species in EU, Canada, China, and Taiwan. Safety and functions have been verified through plenty of scientific studies. It possesses strong tolerance to gastric acid and bile salts so there is no need for microencapsulation. As a food ingredient and/or dietary ingredient, its concentration is up to more than 100 billion CFU/g and very low water activity (< 0.1) contributes to its high stability. Thus, it is very suitable for formulation of dietary supplements and fortified foods.
