Asha Nutrition Sciences Receives Notice of Allowance for US Patent Covering Tailored Lipids By Demographics
PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Asha Nutrition Sciences, Inc. (Asha), creators of the revolutionary tailored lipids by demographics product line, LipiLife, announced the receipt of Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for Application No. 13/332,251 directed to methods of selecting and preparing lipid formulations based upon demographics of a subject. The patent includes application of the proprietary methods for full diets, infant foods, pet foods, and/or therapeutic applications for medical indications. Asha holds worldwide patents on the technology. Asha estimates that when issued the U.S. patent will not expire until at least 2033.
This newest addition to its patent portfolio confirms Asha's continuing commitment to innovation and development of industry leading lipid solutions with potential to vastly protect and enhance public health. WHO estimates about 2 billion people worldwide suffer from chronic and infectious diseases. Studies show that lipid imbalance is associated with a variety of chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease, strokes, arthritis, asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, neural disease, depression, and cancer, and compromised immunity. Approximately 80 percent of the costs of healthcare are due to chronic conditions, costing nearly 3 trillion dollars annually in US. Further, lipids are unpredictable in nature, and less than 1% of the public understands lipids. Thus, Asha's technology is a solution to a critical unmet public health need.
Asha's flagship product is LipiLife, made up of fats, fat-soluble vitamins and sterols that are vital for health and well-being and vary by demographics. Currently, LipiLife is available in vegetarian and non-vegetarian formulas for women and men individually.
Urvashi Bhagat, CEO of Asha said, "With the issuance of this patent, USPTO has confirmed Asha's innovative position in this technological arena. We have numerous additional patent applications under review and will continue to work to expand our patent portfolio as we continue to innovate and develop new products." Ms. Bhagat added, "The allowance of this patent application confirms the uniqueness of our family of products and further strengthens our growing domestic and international patent portfolio. We invite collaboration from corporate partners for marketing and manufacturing of our products and/or licensing of our intellectual property for infant foods, pet foods, and/or therapeutic applications for medical indications."
"Lipids are critical for health," explains Dr. Undurti N. Das, Chief Medical Officer of Asha Nutrition Sciences. "Every cell in the body is enveloped in lipids, and the cell cannot function without the right balance of lipids. Health benefits of balanced lipids are across multiple indications because lipids affect a broad range of physiological functions. Lipid requirements vary by members of a family. Therefore, lipids should be pre-formulated and tailored for the public."
Asha aims to create a brighter future for world health by preventing current trends from continuing. LipiLife radically shifts the way people consider what it means to consume healthy fats and how chronic health issues are preventable and even reversible with the right lipid formula and methods.
