Commercialisation Platform Overview

Grünbiotics is a pioneering, Australian-based nutritional science company. With a strong presence in the rapidly-expanding worldwide Medical Foods market, Grünbiotics is well placed to drive innovation and mature.

Our Medical Food products are firmly positioned within country-specific / regional markets, including “Food for Special Medical Purposes” (Codex Alimentarius Commission – FAO-WHO/UN, Australia and New Zealand, the European Union and China), “Food for Specified Health Uses” (in Japan) and “Medical Foods” (in the US).

As Medical Foods, Grünbiotics’ products are differentiated from both nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals. That is, Medical Foods are foods used to address specialised nutritional requirements of people with certain disorders, diseases or medical conditions, where the requirements cannot be met from modifications to normal diet alone. Pharmaceuticals, on the other hand, are drugs for treating those who are ill. Nutritional supplements and functional foods are taken by healthy people to help maintain their level of health.

Grünbiotics has already achieved international success with Neurofolin®, and will soon be releasing a new Medical Food for Mild Cognitive Impairment / Alzheimer’s Dementia. We currently have a number of Medical Food products in the R&D pipeline and plan to further cement our presence in this burgeoning international market.
