Nature between science and wisdom
ERBAGIL® RESEARCH – ONE OF THE THREE ARTERIES OF THE HEART ERBAGIL®
Erbagil® Research is the scientific soul of the company and one of the three arteries that feed the heart of the Erbagil® Supply Chain, together with Erbagil® Tenuta and Erbagil® Produzione .
In this virtuous flow, Research represents the bridge between nature and technology: it processes the raw material coming from the Estate and transforms it into applied knowledge, ready to become industrial innovation through Production .
This is where the exclusive Ozoile® , Stamiuvex® and SEM patents come to life, the result of years of advanced studies and experiments that have redefined the boundaries of cellular regeneration, anti-aging treatments and bioactive extraction.
Erbagil® Research is not just a research center, but a driving force that drives the entire supply chain: from scientific intuition to the concreteness of the product.
Three arteries, one heart: Erbagil®.
Erbagil® and University Collaborations: A Bridge between Innovation and Education
Erbagil® has established strong partnerships with several Italian and international universities, fostering mutual growth between industry and academia. These collaborations allow Erbagil® access to the latest scientific research, experiments, and technological innovations, which enrich its development projects.
At the same time, these partnerships promote the training of young talents and researchers, offering them internships and placements in the biotechnology and medical fields. The agreements allow Erbagil® to share know-how and resources with universities, fostering the development of new patents and advanced scientific solutions. Thanks to these synergies, the company contributes to the advancement of the health and wellness sector, remaining at the forefront of innovation and sustainability.
Erbagil® Exclusive Patents Research
Grazie alla nostra continua ricerca, abbiamo sviluppato brevetti come Ozoile®, che unisce l’ozono all’olio extravergine di oliva biologico +OIL, formando Ozonidi Stabili, isolati e completamente caratterizzati, dalle azioni curative rigeneranti antinfiammatorie,antimicrobiche e antiproliferative.
Il brevetto Stamiuvex®, invece, sfrutta le proprietà delle cellule staminali delle bacche d’uva, per combattere l’invecchiamento e promuovere la rigenerazione cellulare per una riprogrammazione anti age. S.E.M, Stistema Estrattivo Multifasico, è una tecnologia innovativa che permette l’estrazione ad alta resa di composti biologicamente attivi (BACs) da matrici vegetali, preservandone la struttura chimica senza alterazioni. "Il brevetto MICROCELLETTE RICARICABILI è una tecnologia in grado di rivoluzionare il settore delle medicazioni elastiche, permettendo la diffusione e la ricarica di Ozoile nel bendaggio senza doverlo rimuovere, offrendo un'azione terapeutica personalizzata con diverse formulazioni per uso topico
Erbagil® and Its Space Revolution
Erbagil® has achieved a scientific milestone of international significance by participating in the prestigious NG-20 Cygnus mission, which culminated with the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center . As part of the mission, the MiniLab 1.0 , intended for biological research, was transported into orbit aboard the Falcon 9 with the aim of testing molecules capable of mitigating cellular aging processes in microgravity conditions.
The entire mission was made possible thanks to the strong collaboration between Erbagil® and the Department of Biology at Federico II University, within a scientific agreement that combined academic expertise and industrial innovation capabilities. The research group led by Professor Geppino Falco, full professor at the aforementioned Department, conducted a series of studies on Ozoile® in its laboratories to evaluate its biological activities, including its effect on the viability and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in the molecular processes associated with osteoporosis.
Based on the results obtained, Ozoile® was deemed an important and innovative product worthy of inclusion in the READI SP project, conceived by Prof. Falco and supported by Erbagil® Ricerca, resulting in the launch of the MiniLab into space, reaching the International Space Station.
This experience represents not only international recognition for Erbagil®, but also a concrete example of how the synergy between research and business can generate cutting-edge, sustainable solutions projected towards the future of regenerative medicine – even beyond the confines of the Earth.
