HKUST's New Products to Prevent Alzheimer's Disease

Neurobiologists at HKUST discovered that Alzheimer's disease (AD) incubates for over 20 years, with synaptic dysfunction as a key trigger. Leveraging 20 years of research, the team developed three scientifically proven herbal supplements from 50-100 clinically relevant herbs. These inhibit neurodegenerative proteins, enhance synaptic signal transmission, and improve learning/memory in lab tests. The startup "INFItech" aims to promote proactive brain health through accessible science-backed products.

Startup ​INFItech Limited​ uses purified herbal extracts to develop three supplements proven to:

• ✅ Block neurotoxic proteins

• ✅ Optimize synaptic signal transmission

• ✅ Enhance learning/memory in lab tests
