Evithé Biotechnology—a pioneer in plant-based medicine
Evithé Biotechnology is a pioneer in plant-based medicine, using patented technology to treat chronic inflammation—identified by the WHO as a leading cause of death and disability. Their extracts, derived from ginger, significantly outperform isolated compounds, offering a new path for inflammation-targeting therapies that support longevity.
Sourcing ginger from family farms in Fiji, Evithé Biotechnology emphasises sustainability from farm to formulation. The company has completed preclinical research, clinical safety trials, and filed three PCT patents, which is exceptionally fast.
Founder Cynthia Hunefeld says, "We are now scaling to launch its high-value export products including a novel herbal supplement and medical food into China, while raising funds to accelerate clinical trials and advance its pipeline of prescription botanical medicines.”
