Ath, September 10, 2020 - Botalys has developed a unique growing method that enables the production of clinically grade medicinal plants. Among the cultivated plants: the Dan Shen, whose root is used in traditional Asian medicine to fight against respiratory viral infections.
With promising first tests under Covid-19, Botalys is setting the pace. It launches a study program in collaboration with UCLouvain and its University Clinics. The investment amounts to €190,000, 80% of which is financed by Wallonia. The results are expected by the end of 2020, and a first marketing is planned for 2021 as a food supplement.
