Nature and Science together

Developer of evidence-based, anti-anxiety dietary supplements

Anxiofit

Anxiofit is a developer of evidence-based, anti-anxiety dietary supplements. The development is built on deep scientific knowledge, research and numerous animal and human trials to be able to provide proven help for the large population of people occasionally experiencing anxiety, stress, nervous tension, and even restless sleep.

The company’s first product, Anxiofit-1, which started to be marketed under AnxioCalm brand in the US is mainly built on the valuable ingredients of a traditional herb: Echinacea.

Echinacea is traditionally used for immune support, but a unique breed of Echinacea Angustifolia, standardized for selected rare active ingredients, has proven anxiolytic effects.

The company started commercialization of the product and is searching for distributors globally.

HISTORY

The company was founded in 2007 by well-known Hungarian scientists, Prof. Tamas Freund, Prof. Jozsef Haller and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Research started by utilizing governmental and EU grant to gain a better understanding of the anxiolytic effects of certain herbs and compounds. In the research process special emphasis were given to the endocannabinoid system, CB1 and CB2 receptors.

They found that ingredients of a certain kind of Echinacea has anxiolytc effects. The effect highly depends on the breed, where the plants are grown, which part of the plant is used, and how it is processed.

Scientific articles have been published about the anxiolitic effects of Echinacea and patents have been filed by the company and its founding scientists. The company has tested a lot of suppliers and only a few were able to supply raw materials for the production. Methods have been developed to ensure that the final products always have the right proportion of active ingredients responsible for the anxiolytic effect, as some ingredients in Echinacea might even increase anxiety.

In 2009 together with a reputable GMP certified pharma manufacturer (ExtractumPharma) the company developed the Anxiofit-1 diatery supplement and started production of the 20mg Anxiofit-1 pills in pharma quality.

Numerous animal and human clinical trials have been completed to prove that Anxiofit-1, without sideefects, is ameliorateing sub-threshold and mild anxiety, which are clear risk factors in develompent of anxiety disorders and depression.

In 2010 the first products appeared in the US market under Anxiofit brand, which was later rebranded to AnxioCalm and is exclusively distributed by Europharma Inc.

In 2016 the AnxioCalm product received licenses for distribution also in Canada.

Anxiofit is currently working on receiving an EFSA approval to be able to use its anti-anxiety health claim on the labels also in the European countries.

FUTURE

The company is working on to combine extracts of other traditional herbs and dietary suppliment with its Echinacea extract to be able to increase the anti-anxiety effect of the current product without the appearence of any side effects.

The company started to search for distribution partners globally.
