Costanta Nutrition, a life sciences start up from Scotland have announced a research collaboration with the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade in Serbia to work on the development of their first product, ElderThriveโข.
Cosanta Nutrition creates targeted formulations to help prevent or delay the onset of illnesses observed across the world. Our novel approach which helps to optimise the benefits of the essential nutrients to regain and maintain health.
In 2016 the World Health Organisation recognised sarcopenia as a disease. This is the underlying cause of frailty and lack of condition in many elderly people and can lead to falls and unexpected stays in hospital.
Our first product, ElderThriveโข, is a unique formulation, designed to replenish the precise micronutrients that are needed to retain and restore mental and muscular performance as we age. Older people require a blend of nutrients to support good health. In turn, continued activity and mobility leads to longer and better quality of life.
Cosanta have chosen to work with the Serbian team because of their international excellence and solid track record in the area of functional foods.
CEO, Dr Cait Murray-Green says "Getting the correct scientists with the correct combination of skills and equipment to take on new product development can be hard. We are delighted to be working with Prof Mirjana Peลกiฤ and her team, who are bringing a deep understanding of metabolomics and physical chemistry to this project. Creating ElderThriveโข as a functional food is the first step to our ultimate ambition of creating a transdermal patch which will provide targeted support for sarcopenia."
Prof Mirjana Peลกiฤ says "The University of Belgrade is an excellent partner for research projects. We focus on nutritional properties, bioactive food components, and food processing within one team, making efficient and effective science. We are excited to be working with the Cosanta team and creating a new international partnership for this emerging area which will have great impact on elderly care.
Cosanta Nutrition Ltd is a new start-up in Glasgow, working towards development of innovative approaches to sarcopenia and frailty through food and medical device innovations.
