How Shannon ABC Helped Soothing Solutions with Product Testing and Validation?
The Company
Soothing Solutions Ltd manufactures innovative medicinal-free products to promote comfort for young children when they are under the weather. Tonstix Jelly Pop is Soothing Solutions’ product that was developed to bring an effective solution to the market for children’s sore throats and dry coughs. Tonstix has been developed by pharmaceutical professionals alongside leading nutraceutical scientists with over 20 years of experience in nutraceutical development, food innovation, and regulatory affairs. Tonstix Honey Jelly Pops are formulated and manufactured in Ireland.
The Problem
Soothing Solutions needed to validate the wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties of their Tonstix Jelly Pop in order to ensure its efficacy for young children. This required scientific testing on human throat cells to confirm the product’s benefits.
Solution through Shannon ABC
Soothing Solutions’ Tonstix Jelly Pop was tested for its wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties in isolated human throat cells by Shannon Applied Biotechnology Centre.
Compared to untreated throat cells, Tonstix Jelly pop showed a reduction in scratch wound area after 6 hrs, indicating its wound healing properties.
When compared to a known anti-inflammatory agent, Tonstix Jelly Pop sample reduced the production of the inflammatory marker IL-6, which is linked to anti-inflammatory activity.
