Natural Wellness Biotech, the research arm of the group, is a Bionexus status company awarded by the Malaysian Biotech Corporation, and is actively involved in identifying and developing new entities including natural, pharmaceutical and biotechnology products for commercialization in the healthcare market. Natural Wellness places great emphasis on biotechnology with a focus on developing medicines to improve health through scientific innovations on the principles of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. This is in parallel with our mission to provide high quality, up-to-date healthcare products at an affordable price to the communities we live in.

In research of natural ingredients, new active plant compounds identified are extracted to develop standardized extracts using high technology methods like super critical fluid extraction, and then utilized in creating innovative, leading edge product formulations that are evidence based, backed by science with the advantage of being tested by time and tradition. In novel generic pharmaceutical development, products are formulated based on current market needs and requirements without violating the patency rights of the innovator and made swiftly in the market. In biotechnology, Natural Wellness is involved strategically with several large companies in developing, manufacturing and marketing biopharmaceuticals like vaccines and also biosimilar products.

One of the proudest moments for Natural Wellness was when the company was awarded the SME Innovation Award for Halal Products and Services in June 2010. It was indeed an honour for us, as we continue to strive in this arena.

A testament to our efforts was being the first company to be certified to MS 1900:2005 Quality Management Systems: Requirements from an Islamic Perspective by Sirim Berhad. Other certifications the company has been awarded are as shown below.

Problem solving is also executed using the A6H Model using the guidance of the Al Quran and the Hadith.

A relatively young company that started as a trading entity, Natural Wellness has moved downstream with its own manufacturing facility in 2004. The company then went from marketing and selling further down the value chain into discovering and developing innovative products for the healthcare industry. Natural Wellness today has expanded from its humble beginnings in natural products to being a respected multi segmented player in the healthcare market. Natural Wellness has offices in Australia, Egypt and in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and their products is exported across the world including Australia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and the Middle East.

Natural Wellness has formed strategic partnerships with leading institutions of higher learning like Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia for  product research and development, and also with large companies both local (CCM Duopharma Biotech Sdn Bhd) and foreign (Capsugel, a division of Pfizer,USA, Multi Apex Pharma Egypt, Cipla India and Sinovac China) for product commercialization. Natural Wellness is the proud owner of several trademarks and copyrights including its own brand and icons to identify therapeutic classes which are found on their product packaging.

Besides their own brand, Natural Wellness products are among others marketed under leading brands like Amway, Vitahealth,  Pharmaniaga’s Citrex, Hai-O and Cosway. The company aims to have its own high technology manufacturing facility of biotechnology and life sciences and hopes one day to be the Malaysian pioneer in the development of new chemical entities.

Though still at its infancy stages, Natural Wellness believes in the importance of giving back to society.
