Eye disorders

Our goal is to make your dream concept a commercial product, integrating our strong knowledge of ingredients and techniques to help you make the right decisions

Eye disorders

  • Epidemiological evidence shows that ages 40 and older suffer from blindness today, and these numbers are expected to double in the next few decades as the baby boomers generation ages. The leading cause of vision problems is glaucoma, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. However, the connection between eye health and nutrition is pretty straightforward. Given this data, food industries are interested in producing functional foods , beverages and nutraceuticals to target this group population.
  • Understanding this importance, Guires FRL team of scientists research various functional food and beverages-based strategies and supplements, nutraceutical formulas, and herbal preparations to prevent macular degeneration.

Offering Therapeutics support and Research-based technical solutions for Eye disorders

  • Co-creation from stakeholders and community input: Stop the guesswork !. Our prototype concepts come from science/evidence-based research conducted by our researchers, sensory research from panelists, competitors and product market research, and inputs from consumers through focus groups, interviews, regional-focused consumer journey mapping, and many more. Get information that allows you to make crystal clear decisions.
  • Ingredient Focus: We build our prototype with the use of real, clean, fresh and authentic ingredients (such as free from an allergen, no pesticide/chemicals/toxins, non-GMO, organic, vegetarian, gluten-free, and minimally processed) without compromising on sensory appeal.
  • Clean Label: No complex labelling disgusting ingredients in the formulation. We offer clean labelling with maximum transparency around any health claims by replacing fewer desirable ingredients with label-friendly ingredients.
  • Sensory and Shelf Life: Our prototype meets your sensory within the sphere of physical and scientific possibility by using a unique combination of ingredients without negatively affecting their colour, taste, texture and shelf life.
  • Regulatory: A prototype that meets the regulatory requirement that governs food processing, including those established by the local and international regulations (e.g., FDA and EU regulations )
  • Science-Based Nutrition: An evidence-based prototype that is specifically built based on science to meet the targeted consumer’s needs. In this case, the development of products rich in lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, vitamin C and astaxanthin has been proved clinically for the prevention of visual impairment. For instance, studies have shown that people who take 6mg of lutein or eat three cups of spinach a week have a significant reduction in macular degeneration. Similarly, Cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, pelargonidin, peonidin, and petunidin have been reported to reduce the risk of eye-related diseases. Similarly, we also formulate functional foods using carrot (vitamin A), flax seeds (Omega 3 fatty acids, lignans), citrus fruits, tomatoes, strawberries, and broccoli (vitamin A, C and Lutein) for the prevention of night blindness, dryness of eyes and prevention from cataract disorders.
  • Health Claim: Functional and Health claims as per the regulatory norms (e.g., no added artificial colours or flavours, and low in sugar)

At Guires food research lab, we formulate food and nutraceuticals for specific eye problems . Guires scientific expertise partners to create winning products that meet the above requirements.
