The Company's business:

HORIZON's Subsidiary 'NRL Pharma Canada Inc.' is an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company that is committed to supply its Patented delivery systems of enteric lactoferrin, and "PEG-lactoferrin." We have already introduced enteric lactoferrin products in the market as a supplemental food and have also undertaken projects to further study these products and increase their pharmaceutical applications. Since 2008, the company's proprietary enteric lactoferrin has already earned top market share amongst all lactoferrin-containing products.

What is Lactoferrin?

Lactoferrin: A multifunctional protein of the transferrin family found in various secretory fluids, such as milk, saliva, tears and nasal secretions. Human colostrum ("first milk") has the highest concentration of Lactoferrin, followed by human milk, then cow milk ("bovine milk").

Initially, all mammals consume maternal milk, their only source of diet. It is believed that this milk contains all the essential nutrients required by neonates for healthy growth, in particular, "colostrum", the first milk secreted from the breast after parturition, which is rich in Lactoferrin and regulates stress response, the immune system, and fat burning in neonates.

Lactoferrin is a multi-functional protein derived from milk. Because of its biological function, Lactoferrin has been widely used as a supplement in products such as infant formula and has a variety of health-care applications.

Lactoferrin is relatively stable in the gastrointestinal tract in infants but is degraded into peptides and amino acids in adults when administered orally. This limits the use of Lactoferrin in the treatment of geriatric diseases and adult lifestyle-related diseases. NRL Pharma Inc. is the only company in the world that supplies enteric Lactoferrin. The enteric coating is a barrier that controls the location in the digestive system where the Lactoferrin it is absorbed.

Enteric coating technology has enabled an exclusive market share for Lactoferrin supplement, which is highly effective even at a very low dose.
