VIRUN® NutraBIOsciences™ Granted Patent 261124 in India, Redesigns Website, Omega-3 Summit at Supply Side West and CEO is Again Scheduled to Speak at Cal Poly Pomona
VIRUN has been granted patent number 261124 titled, Compositions Comprising a Mucoadhesive Protein and an Active Principle for Mucosal Delivery of Said Agents. Also, VIRUN has re-designed their website to include brands, a product description page, video as well as a news and PR page. Included in the newly renovated website is an events page; with the growing interest in VIRUN, such as scheduled forums, lectures, expos and webinars, it was imperative this new website share these experiences.
Mucosa Adhesive Penetrating Technologies (MAPT) – Receptor Mediated Endocytosis
VIRUN is more notably recognized for developing technologies that improve the delivery of non-polar compounds, for example Omega-3 EPA and DHA, Curcumin and Astaxanthin, into food and beverage applications. However, VIRUN’s core competency stretches further than simply the delivery into beverage applications. VIRUN has several patents and patents-pending technologies utilizing receptor mediated endocytosis compositions enabling improved bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of compounds that do not absorb well, or are not stable. The deliverable compounds have therapeutic effects and include non-polar compounds, proteins, peptides, and probiotics. The first MAPT patent application was filed in 2005 delivering an astonishing 61% Human Insulin into blood plasma compared to i.v. injection. The mechanism and composition follows the same natural framework as iron absorption. As the Transferrin delivers the iron into the cell, the delivered agent also mediates into the cell.
VIRUN® NutraBIOsiences™ - New and Interactive Website
VIRUN has largely surrounded itself by the research and development of these unique, patented, delivery technologies and have not focused their efforts on marketing. VIRUN’s websites and marketing attempts have been more so directed toward gaining credibility within industries and assuring patent protection. VIRUN’s initial website was under the name, Archimedes Laboratories back in 2003. The name was changed to VIRUN in 2004 representing VIRUN’s focus on pharmaceutical delivery technologies utilizing transfection to Transferrin’s and other anti-viral delivery ligands and nanotechnologies. Their preceding website including their new name, VIRUN, represented a virus crossing a cell. In 2007, yet another website was engendered that was the first reflection of VIRUN’s introduction into the food, beverage and supplement space using clean-label claim ingredients. This website included on their home page an actual picture of a nano-encapsulated Omega-3 EPA and DHA into water – shortly after, VIRUN was named one of a few “companies to watch” by NutraceuticalsWorld. In 2012, VIRUN’s CEO’s 6-year-old daughter, Larissa Bromley, painted the new VIRUN website to celebrate innovation and fresh thinking. This concept was used to show industry the need to be open-minded and accept new ideas; sometimes swiping-clear what we understand and thinking with a clean-slate helps foster innovation. In 2014, to commemorate over 10 years of innovation, VIRUN releases their first website displaying their 11 years of leadership in delivery technologies and lending insight toward the efforts VIRUN’s management team are involved in, such as university cooperation’s, webinars, expos; and for the first time, promoting their brands.
