Strong development in sales via online sales in the EU and in Asian markets via doctors/clinics and pharmacy sales.
Development of online sales via Amazon EU is showing positive results – after a long period of sales.
2023
Based on the results of clinical projects at Aarhus University Hospital, we filed a patent application for the product process and effect of consuming KaLOHAS® – with a view to expanding sales as an organic food for functional treatment.
Initial experiences from Asian markets strongly support that the healthcare sector will become our primary sales channel in the future.
2022
Our project “From Healthy Food to Nutritional Ingredient” revealed important findings regarding the content of bioactive compounds, of which Synaptic acid may be the primary driver behind the GLP-1 induction of KaLOHAS®.
The study focused on characterizing the bioactive compounds and their potential in relation to nutritional content and composition in KaLOHAS®. The results provide valuable insights into the composition and quality of kale. White Papers with details will follow soon.
Excellent results from consumers in China led us to create a sales channel on www.amazon.de/greengourmet and other retail product channels.
2021
A clinical research project at Aarhus University has investigated KaLOHAS® and its content of bioactive compounds, including GLP-1. The results contribute to the understanding of the product’s composition and potential. – see White Papers. Publication to follow..
2019 – 2020
In vitro project from Foulum at Aarhus University – PhD Yuan Yue – demonstrates a very interesting content of sinapinic acid. The results provide insight into the composition and bioactive components of kale.
The high sinapinic acid content in KaLOHAS® may contribute to its superior bioactivity compared to competing kale powder products.
Further studies are needed to elucidate the precise mechanisms underlying the enhanced GLP-1 induction of sinapinic acids and the long-term effects of KaLOHAS® consumption on metabolic health. Publication to follow.
Market developments during COVID led us to test online e-commerce with Tmall in China with promising results.
2018
At Aarhus University (Foulum), various plant-based products were investigated for their content of bioactive components and their effect on GLP-1 hormone in an in vitro study.
Out of 14 different natural products such as turmeric, ginger, fennel, beetroot, wheatgrass etc., KaLOHAS® kale was chosen for further studies due to its composition and content of bioactive compounds.
It was then decided to proceed with the results and find confirmation of this through further tests – Yuan Yue, PhD was hired so that this work could be continued.
2017
Initiation of scientific studies with the aim of obtaining scientific evidence for effects on lifestyle issues KaLOHAS®’s content of bioactive components and potential as an ingredient in the nutritional and cosmetic segment.
Export of KaLOHAS® for retail and bulk to Malaysia and Dubai will also be established.
2016
Process and export development of dried kale powder and leaves for sale to industry in Japan and Taiwan has been established – first real sale to Japan received January 2016.
2015
The product was registered in Japan, Taiwan and China and prepared for export – and the domestic market.
2014
After the production and market maturation process for the product KaLOHAS® bioactive kale powder, the product was trademark registered and real test productions and consumer tests were carried out.
Complete organoleptic and technical specifications were determined and process descriptions were completed.
The company obtained certified exporter status for the product.
