Local health tech pioneers setting global standards

THE global pandemic has had many consequences, not least in increasing people’s awareness about health and wellness, particularly as a preventive measure.

Having a robust immune system is now a worldwide concern with people in every corner of the world recognising the deadly threat of easily transmissible diseases.

The impact of COVID-19 has been devastating and continues to influence the daily lives of human beings everywhere but it also signals an opportune time for Wellous Sdn Bhd to penetrate the market internationally.

Wellous is an e-commerce entity that was set up in 2016 and is currently led by CEO Racheal Tan with the aim of getting healthy functional food products to consumers.

Having successfully and quickly establishing itself on the domestic scene, Wellous now has a foothold in 10 countries globally.

Globally-sourced branded and patented ingredients

COVID-19 and other outbreaks such as SARS, Bird and Swine Flus that affect the human respiratory system have heightened awareness for the need for relevant health products.

Wellous is well-placed to meet this global demand with its Tigrox series of products which include Tiger Milk King.

Described as a “lung refresher” containing calamansi lime or loquat and Malaysia’s best-kept secret – the Tiger Milk Mushroom – the botanical beverage is designed to boost and protect the human respiratory system against not only COVID-19 but the harmful effects of pollution, second-hand smoke as well as the periodic haze that envelopes the region ever so often.

Other products in the Tigrox series include Livetal and Imuglo. Livetal is designed with improving a person’s liver health with a botanical beverage containing Taiwanese patented unique fungus Antromax® solid phase cultured Antrodia Cinnamomea Mycelium, as its main ingredient, and Turmeric Extract, Radix Buplueri Root Extract, and Astragulus Membranaceus Root Extract.

The latter features ingredients such as Maritech® Organic Fucoidan which is extracted from mekabu seaweed from world’s purest ocean water.

Maritech® Organic Fucoidan contains more than 85% of bioactive compound. Imuglo also contains ElderCraft® European Black Elderberry Extract, PUREWAY-C™ vitamin C lipid metabolites and Maitake mushroom mycelium extract – all combining to create an iron-clad booster to the human immunity system.

Wellous currently markets 25 products that also include Elderberry Colostrum and Microbiome under its KidAOne series.

The former is designed to boost children’s immune system while the latter protect their gut from harmful bacteria.

These ingredients are globally-sourced from different countries to be used in Wellous’s products.

All their products have two or more branded or patented ingredients to ensure that every single one of their products have optimal effects.

Scientific Approach

Tan, a Food Studies degree holder, firmly believes that the key to good health is by ingesting functional foods.

Functional foods ensure that the body receives all the necessary nutrients and ingredients to allow it to perform at optimum health levels. They also ensure there is complete equilibrium in a person’s health system with a balanced approach to boosting various organs.

Wellous’s rapid success can be traced to its “Personalised Functional Food” approach which seeks to complement a person’s health with the right product.

Another pertinent reason behind its success is the fact that its products are the result of intensive research and development from formulation to packaging.

Wellous Medical and Research Board of Advisors (MRBA)

Wellous has appointed various specialists and medical experts on its advisory board to help design and formulate its products.

Sourcing only all-natural products – and in many instances patented ingredients – has also strengthened consumer confidence in Wellous, allowing the company to flourish internationally in Thailand, Brunei, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China, with further international growth earmarked for the near future.

Wellous is purely an e-commerce venture and its products are exclusively available through its authorised agents which are listed on its website at www.wellous.com. Consumers are advised to avoid sellers on e-shopping platforms to ensure validity of warranties.
