PhytoGaia, a nutraceutical specialist, has been selected as a finalist in the start-up category of the 2024 NutraIngredients Asia Awards.
The honour acknowledges new companies who are pioneering innovative and science-backed solutions in the nutraceutical market.
"We are incredibly proud to be recognised as a finalist for the NutraIngredients-Asia Start-up Award," said Bryan See, Vice President of PhytoGaia. "This nomination is a testament to our innovative approach and the work we are doing in the industry. We remain committed to pushing the boundaries of science and technology to deliver the best science-driven products to our customers."
The NutraIngredients Asia start-up award celebrates new companies that demonstrate outstanding potential, innovation and impact.
PhytoGaia is the first palm phytonutrient company to be selected as a finalist for this award.
Notably, no functional ingredients companies from the ASEAN region have won this award, so PhytoGaia could be the first within its category.
"We hope that by winning this award, we can inspire more ingredients companies from the ASEAN region — and specifically Malaysia — to innovate and strive for excellence. By adding value to local natural agricultural resources, we can create quality products,
jobs and contribute to the economic growth of Malaysia", Mr. See stated.
PhytoGaia offers clean, plant-based and clinically-researched branded ingredients that address the health needs of the modern consumer, while also prioritising sustainability and efficacy.
