HONG KONG, Aug. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- From 15 to 17 August 2013, Infinitus will participate in the 12th International Conference & Exhibition of the Modernization of Chinese Medicine & Health Products (ICMCM) at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre for the 5th consecutive year since 2009.
Jointly organized by Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Modernized Chinese Medicine International Association (MCMIA), ICMCM is an important global forum in the area of Chinese medicine and health products. This year, it will continue to remain its duo format of exhibition and conference, which not only extends business opportunities for international trade of Chinese medicine products, but also gathers experts in the field to discuss the future of Chinese medicine. The exhibition is predicted to attract some 120 global exhibitors from Canada, mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Macau, Singapore and Taiwan.
Ronald Ho, Regional Director of Southern China with HKTDC, said, "In recent years, consumers have been searching for safe, trustworthy and mild natural medicine. As a result, traditional Chinese medical products and therapies have become very popular around the world, and demand has soared dramatically. The past five years have seen exports of Chinese medicine in HK increase by 8% year-on-year and exceed HKD 1.3 billion (approximately RMB 1.1 billion). The annual ICMCM serves as a platform for those in the field of Chinese medicine to communicate in terms of trade, academics and policies so as to fully explore the development potentials of the Chinese medicine industry."
Since 2009, Infinitus has participated at ICMCM for 5 consecutive years. Throughout the past 20 years, Infinitus has adhered to the mission of "Advocating Premium Chinese Health Regimen and Nurturing Healthier Lives with Balance, Affluence and Harmony." Infinitus also refined its unique health philosophy, "promoting healthy life through life nurturing and vitality assurance," from the life-nurturing wisdom of "Preventive Treatment of Disease" from the Chinese ancient masterpiece The Inner Classic Theory of Yellow Emperor (Huangdi Neijing).
This year, Infinitus will continue to utilize this international platform to disseminate the philosophy of Preventive Treatment of Disease and Infinitus' health philosophy, and promote the Infinitus brand as well as its high-quality Chinese herbal health products. Its Booth No.1A-D02 will display products from the four categories of Infinitus (Hong Kong), including Infinitus health food, Beautrio skin care products, Phytocare personal care products and Homemate household products. Infinitus will also invite Chinese medical doctors to deliver life-nurturing lectures and interact with the general public.
Chinese herbal polysaccharides have been internationally recognized as a group of natural immunomodulator, and this becomes the feature of Infinitus' booth this year. It will display several Infinitus products made from polysaccharides and its latest achievement in polysaccharides. Since its first polysaccharides product launched in 1994, Infinitus has insisted on carrying out research in Chinese herbal polysaccharides and has obtained several patents and core intellectual property rights in this field. At the 2013 International Symposium on Chemical Glycobiology held in Shanghai on June 30, Professor Ding Kan's research team members from Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIMM, CAS), released their latest findings on the oral absorption of polysaccharides in partnership with Infinitus. With the utilization of modern Western medical methodology to verify the oral absorption of Chinese herbal polysaccharides, this discovery has helped promote the modernization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine
Mr. Harry Yeung, Senior Vice President of LKKHPG and spokesperson of Infinitus, is also a founding council member of MCMIA. He said, "With its unique feature of 'preventive treatment of disease,' Chinese medicine has acquired higher and higher international status with increasing acknowledgement and popularity. Since its founding 20 years ago, Infinitus has been promoting the internationalization of Chinese medicine. ICMCM is such an international platform that we can display our products and health philosophy, and have chances to communicate with others in the field to obtain the latest information and further promote the expansion and modernization of Chinese medicine."
