Judged by an independent panel of experts, the NutraIngredients-Asia Awards celebrate breakthrough ingredients, products, and scientific advances that are shaping the future of health and nutrition. Recognition in the Healthy Ageing category underscores STGaia®’s pioneering role in addressing one of today’s most critical health priorities – supporting longevity, vitality, and resilience throughout the ageing process.
This win marks the second consecutive year that PhytoGaia has been recognized at the NutraIngredients-Asia Awards, following its win as Start-Up of the Year 2024.
