In 2025, Taiwan will enter the first year of a super-aged society. In response to the upcoming "724 World Self-Care Day", the Taiwan Self-Care Industry Association (TSCIA) called on multiple public associations to jointly advocate for enhancing people's self-care awareness and practical actions. As a leading brand in the field of precision health, Leeuwenhoek Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Leeuwenhoek) is the first to regard intestinal health as the key solution to "healthy aging". Combining innovative health products with precision health clinics, it plans to introduce a new preventive medicine service model of "product + health checkup". In the future, it will bring quantifiable and traceable health management experience to the people of Taiwan, and actively lead the people to take the initiative to protect their health and delay aging.
A healthy gut keeps you young! The key path to a "Healthy Taiwan"
As Taiwan's society ages, the proportion of people aged 65 and above continues to rise, with one in five people over 65 years old1. According to the 2021 National Health Interview Survey, as many as 85.9% of people aged 65 and above suffer from at least one chronic disease, and about a quarter suffer from three or more chronic diseases at the same time2. This trend not only poses challenges to individuals and families, but also indicates that the medical and care systems will face a heavy burden.
Leeuwenhoek firmly believes that "a healthy gut means a healthy person" and actively advocates maintaining daily gut health as a core strategy to prevent chronic diseases and reduce medical expenses. This concept is highly consistent with the government's "Healthy Taiwan" policy promoted in 2024. Both parties have the common goal of increasing the healthy life expectancy of the people, reducing the remaining years of unhealthy life, and strengthening chronic disease care.
Innovative breakthroughs in the aging population: NTU exclusively licenses Biostime formula technology
In order to meet the urgent needs of the mature and middle-aged groups for intestinal health, Leeuwenhoek obtained exclusive technology licenses from the Department of Chemistry of National Taiwan University to develop an innovative "synbiotic" formula that combines plant extracts, probiotics and postbiotics, focusing on optimizing the ecological balance of intestinal flora, significantly increasing the concentration of GLP-1 in the blood, and thereby improving metabolic abnormalities and insulin resistance caused by obesity.
Professor Cheng-Chih Hsu, founder and CEO of Leeuwenhoek, said that intestinal flora is closely related to human immunity, metabolism, mood and various chronic diseases. By adjusting diet in a timely manner and supplementing with clinically proven probiotics and synbiotics, not only can the risk of chronic diseases such as the three highs and obesity be reduced, but it can also help improve the self-care ability and quality of life of the elderly, laying a solid foundation for "healthy aging."
Reshape the new experience of health care products and build a healthy future together with all people
In the future, Leeuwenhoek plans to introduce a new preventive medicine model of "product + health checkup" to redefine the process of people using health products. Combining health products with health tests, consumers can undergo professional tests at cooperative clinics across Taiwan after purchasing products, and track personal health changes through scientific data.
This move not only improves the transparency and trust in the use of health products, but also helps consumers verify product effectiveness with data, making health management quantifiable and traceable. Leeuwenhoek hopes to use this innovative model to drive the upgrading of industry standards and establish a new model of scientific and empirical health care, so that everyone can safely and effectively protect their own health.
