Reliance Life Sciences is developing
a range of biochemicals from fermentation
processes for medical and nutraceutical
applications.
Probiotics
Reliance Life Sciences has developed
a process for preparation of probiotic
Saccharomyces boulardii. Probiotics are
viable bacteria that nutritionally support
the health of the gastrointestinal tract
and discourage the growth of harmful diarrhea
causing microorganisms.
Coenzyme Q10
Reliance Life Sciences is developing
a process for production of Coenzyme Q10
by microbial fermentation. Coenzyme Q10
(CoQ 10) or ubiquinone is essentially
a vitamin or vitamin-like substance that
is a potent antioxidant.
Polymyxin B Sulphate
Reliance Life Sciences is involved in
the production and development of downstream
processing of Polymyxin B sulphate, an
antibiotic produced by Bacillus species,
which is active against gram-negative
bacteria. It is widely used to treat secondary
infections in AIDS patients.
