According to WHO, currently, more than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year. The most common type (60-70%) of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a progressive disease characterized by memory loss, language breakdown, and eventually, death. The main pathological factor for AD is thought to be the progressive accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides in the brain, generated by the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by a combination of β-secretases and γ-secretases. Hyperphosphorylation of tau, a microtubule-associated protein which aggregates to form tangles, also damages the brains of patients with AD. This year, we’re excited to announce that ANKASCIN® 568 product has successfully received a health certificate for “Anti-aging” Support. SunWay research demonstrates the protective effect of ANKASCIN® 568 in 4 aging models: Amyloid β-Infused Rats In this study, the effects of dietary administration of ANKASCIN® 568 on memory and learning abilities are confirmed in an animal model of AD rats infused with Aβ40 into the cerebral ventricle. During continuous Aβ40 infusion for 28 days, ANKASCIN® 568 administration potently reverses the memory deficit in the memory task. Aβ40 infusion increases acetylcholinesterase activity, reactive oxygen species, and lipid peroxidation and decreases total antioxidant status and superoxide dismutase activity in brain, but these damages were potently reversed by ANKASCIN® 568 administration. The protection provided […]

The first clinical study, which has been published in Heliyon, documents that Vigiis® 101-LAB significantly increases the bacterial counts of Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. in feces in just one week, and maintains those elevated counts for four weeks. Thirty-six healthy subjects completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 4-week study. The administration group took 50 mg Vigiis® 101-LAB /one capsule/day (= 5 billion NTU 101 CFU/day) for four weeks. After just one week of administration, the bacterial counts of Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. in the feces of the treatment group were significantly higher than the placebo group. After four weeks, the treatment group’s bacterial counts of Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. were 4.01-fold and 4.25-fold higher than the placebo group. These results indicate that supplementation of Vigiis® 101-LAB significantly increases good bacteria in the gut in just one week and maintains those elevated counts for four weeks. People can benefit from compelling effects of Vigiis® 101-LAB, efficacious and science-supported probiotic. John Pan, President of SunWay Biotech, commented that “It is important to maintain a healthy microbial balance in the gut microbiome with quality and clinically proven ingredients.” For more information, please get in touch with us: globalservice@sunway.cc   Reference: Effects of Vigiis 101-LAB on a healthy population’s gut microflora, peristalsis, immunity, and anti-oxidative capacity: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study.

An international panel of lipid experts issued recommendations regarding red yeast rice supplementation that   People who are ❗️ unwilling to take a statin or other lipid-lowering drug or ❗️ with confirmed statin intolerance  may consider red yeast rice supplementation   People who are ❗️ hypersensitivity to monacolin K/lovastatin or any of the excipients ❗️ acute liver disease or severe renal impairment (eGFR <30 mL/min), or ❗️ with a muscle disease 👉should not consider taking traditional red yeast rice supplement. (which means red yeast rice supplement containing monacolin K)   Using only red yeast rice manufactured according to ✅ good manufacturing practices and ✅ containing no more than about 2 ppm of citrinin. (EU’s maximum levels of citrinin: 100 ppb)    SunWay Biotech applies the strictest limit, ANKASCIN 568-R, the only red yeast rice that doesn’t contain any Monacolin K/lovastain in the world. All of its benefits and safety are verified by clinical studies and liver/kidney safety assessments. Thus, consumers do not need to be concerned about drug interactions or overdose. Furthermore, ANKASCIN 568-R goes through a patented extraction process that can comply with the regulations of citrinin for each country. We are guaranteed that this ingredient will start a new page for your consumers.💪💪   Source: https://lnkd.in/gBDE-q-c https://lnkd.in/g8yTnSTc

  Professor Pan Tzu-Ming, the international red yeast rice godfather, has launched his new book “The Red Mold Rice Health Laboratory-Using Red Yeast Rice to Reverse 12 Chronic Diseases backed by Scientific Evidence.” Professor Pan translated 138 SCI international publications, which were dedicated more than 20 years of effort, into easy-to-understand Chinese for the public. The new book launch party was also grandly held in the Shangzhou study room, and it is our honor to invite many heavy hitters to share their experiences.   Truly reverse twelve chronic disease Professor Pan and his team conducted animal experiments and clinical trials through rigorous scientific methods. The research on these 12 major chronic diseases has been summarized and organized in his new book. It is mentioned in the book that the yellow pigment of red yeast rice has a significant effect on blood lipid regulation in animal experiments and clinical trials. As for weight loss, studies have shown that both monascin and ankaflavin have the effect of inhibiting the proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in vitro. Monascin and ankaflavin have such a significant effect because they can cause lipolysis, which can break down fats into their component fatty acids, which are then reassembled to create triglyceride particles.   Wrong red yeast rice products might cause health risks There are two major concerns in […]

  We are honored to be awarded the Gold Award of 2022 Taiwan BIO Award! After three months of evaluation, the Taiwan Bio Industry Organization (TBIO) has selected 14 companies as the 2022 winners of the Taiwan BIO Awards by evaluating their operational performance, development potential, research and development capabilities, and social contribution.

The first clinical study, which has been published in the Journal of Food and Drug Analysis, documents that ANKASCIN® 568-R is effective in reducing subjects’ serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to nearly desirable levels in as little as 4 weeks and were maintained in 8 weeks. Forty subjects (Inclusion criteria: LDL-C in the range of 130-190 mg/dL and serum cholesterol greater than 180 mg/dL) completed the double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized 12-week study. The administration group took 110 mg ANKASCIN® 568-R/one capsule/day for eight weeks. After four weeks of treatment (110 mg ANKASCIN® 568-R/day), the changes in the lipid levels showed that the active products had a more favorable effect than the placebo. Compared to the baseline, statistically significant decreases of 11.9% and 19.0% were observed in TC and LDL-C levels, respectively (p < 0.05 for all pairs). This study demonstrated that subjects administered 110 mg of ANKASCIN® 568-R for more than four weeks exhibited a significant reduction in serum TC and LDL-C levels. To assess the safety of this ingredient, scientists assayed aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in the liver, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and uric acid levels in the kidney. The results imply no significant effect on renal metabolism and physiological function. These results indicate that supplementation of ANKASCIN® 568-R reduces the risks of serum TC and […]

Keep up with the latest trend! Everyone should pay more attention to the side effect of Monacolin K (lovastatin). EU’s new red yeast rice supplements regulation has changed and is now effective — Individual portion of the product for daily consumption shall provide less than 3mg of monacolins from red yeast rice product, and manufacturers should clearly indicate the information like the daily amount of monacolins, and warnings in combination with cholesterol-lowering medication. Get the details of the article of European Commission regulation. https://rb.gy/vo8ggk The level of monacolin k in red yeast rice supplements in European countries has changed from various levels to less than 3mg for daily consumption. This is because some people taking both statin drugs and supplements to help manage hyperlipidemia might experience side effects due to overdose, thereby causing muscle weakness, pain, or rhabdomyolysis. ANKASCIN 568-R, the only red yeast rice that is without Monacolin K, but with better benefits for heart health backed by clinical trials. Contact us to know more!
