SinoVeda’s patented Pharmaceutical Platform Technology (PPT®) allows the company to isolate, quantify and standardize the active, absorbable ingredients from botanical sources, enabling the production of unique multi-active, multi-target products.

In May 2014, SinoVeda announced positive clinical results for EffectiCal® from its 24-week double-blind, randomized comparative clinical trial in post-menopausal women. The results showed that EffectiCal®, a supplement containing 300mg of calcium, was equally as effective as Caltrate® (600mg calcium) and vitamin D3 in measurements of bone formation and bone resorption.
