Technology for making hot drinks healthier

30/03/05 Integrated Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has announced that it has developed a proprietary technology for making hot drinks healthier and more nutritious. The new technology involves a system for providing nutrients such as calcium in coffee and tea in a manner that does not noticeably affect the taste or flavor of the beverage. The Company's patent-pending technology can be applied to several other applications that will allow beverage companies to deliver healthy products to consumers at an affordable price.

Integrated Pharmaceuticals (IntePharm) also announced that it has signed a non-exclusive license and an exclusive product supply agreement with a distributor for the coffee additive. The agreement permits the distributor to purchase IntePharm's coffee product and sell it under its own brand name. The agreement requires the distributor to purchase the product only from Integrated Pharmaceuticals. The distributor signed the license agreement after testing coffee product samples and completing a field application trial. To the best of IntePharm's knowledge, no other manufacturer has a similar product on the market.

IntePharm is an emerging producer of pharmaceuticals, specialty compounds and chemicals for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food industries. In addition to making products, IntePharm discovers and develops more efficient and cost-effective manufacturing processes. These processes are developed using a comprehensive technology platform that combines metabolic engineering, cellular genetics, advanced bioprocess engineering, and computer simulation science. The company owns several other pending patents for new products and technologies for immediate commercialization in food and nutritional products market.
