haskalifeTM is thrilled to be a recipient of the Innovation Booster funding. The support from Canadian Food Innovation Network (CFIN) demonstrates the importance of our ongoing development of health-focused ingredients for food and nutraceutical markets; and, the potential of haskap berry bio-active anthocyanins in supporting cardiovascular and age-related memory health in women.
haskalifeTM is conducting an independent clinical trial to explore the cardiovascular and cognitive benefits of its Pure Haskap Berry formulation in women over 35; a group at higher risk for undiagnosed hypertension and age-related memory health. Trial results, expected in 2025, have the potential to expand knowledge of the health benefits of haskalife’sTM Pure Haskap Berry formulation, validating new commercialization opportunities for this sustainably sourced Canadian functional food ingredient.
Kiren Singh, CEO of haskalifeTM stated “Haskap berries are high in anthocyanins, the deep purple pigments associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; and may have other untapped health benefits. This initiative unites a consortium of respected, independent scientists, doctors and academics who are joining forces to explore the berries’ potential. The knowledge and expertise of this distinguished team provides the foundation to unlock the cardiometabolic and cognitive benefits of haskalife’sTM Pure Haskap Berry formulation; and advance solutions for women’s health and well-being.”
Partners include the University of Manitoba (Richardson Centre for Food Technology and Research), Chronic Disease Innovation Centre (CDIC), Alberta Agriculture Bio Processing Innovation Centre and Alberta Food Centre; and Dr. Eldon Smith, Chair of the University of Calgary Libin Cardiovascular Institute’s (LCI) Strategic Advisory Board.
