KERALA, India, Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Indian Nutritional Medical Association recently presented Nutrition Care founder and president Ian Brighthope with the Indian Nutritional Medical Association Lifetime Achievement Award in Kerala, India. This prestigious award honours an individual's significant efforts in advancing the state of the nutraceutical industry worldwide. Professor Brighthope was Australia's sole recipient of the award.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is the top award established by the Indian Nutritional Medical Association and presented to experts and scholars with outstanding achievements in the research, education and practice of nutritional and environmental medicine.
Commenting on Professor Brighthope's achievements, Dr. A. Sreekumar, founding chairman of the Indian Nutritional Medical Association, said, "With 34 years of experience in the industry, Ian Brighthope has made an exceptional contribution to the research on mental disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, asthma, as well as food allergies and multiple chemical sensitivities. In addition, he has greatly contributed to the research and development of human nutrition and health services by sharing his academic research outcomes with the Indian Nutritional Medical Association consistently and enthusiastically."
As the chief executive of a nutritional products manufacturer and Australia's sole individual with comprehensive and professional experience in agricultural science, nutrition, healthcare, and environmental medical science, Prof. Brighthope is also a world-known physician in Australia's medical science and healthcare sectors. He established Nutrition Care, which is recommended by Australian family doctors as the preferred high-end nourishment brand with products sold in over 10 countries and regions across Europe, the Americas and Asia.
In 1978, Prof. Brighthope founded his own medical clinic as well as a nutritional and environmental medicine center, the predecessor of Nutrition Care, in Melbourne, Australia. As part of his medical practice, he provided and continues to provide patients with appropriate treatment and nourishment recommendations in an effort to help improve their nutritional status, resistance to illness and disease and improve rehabilitation abilities.
Looking to convert the center into a thriving business, Prof. Brighthope formally founded Nutrition Care in 1988, recruiting many of Australia's authoritative technological talents in the field of nutritional sciences. The company focuses on the R&D of a comprehensive and scientific dietary supplement system for improving people's health.
With the aim of developing and producing high-quality and highly stable dietary supplements, Prof. Brighthope established Nutrition Care Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd in his hometown Melbourne during the same year, with a focus on R&D, production, sales and services including educational services of nutritional supplements. The company, whose products include capsules, tablets, lozenges, chewable tablets, granules and oral liquids, also attracted many authoritative experts in scientific nutrition across Australia.
Prof. Brighthope's main role has remained in the management and control of product quality. Since obtaining the manufacturing and quality control license from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the regulatory body for therapeutic goods in Australia, Nutrition Care Pharmaceuticals has been focusing on the R&D, production and packaging of high-quality products and on providing consumers with comprehensive, high-quality, effective and natural nutritional supplements. They are manufactured under Government license requiring the highest standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in the world.
Prof. Brighthope has been dedicated to serving people's nutritional health needs and has considered this as his leading role and responsibility, aggressively promoting research and development in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. He has assumed a series of posts dedicated to public service, including as president of the Complementary Healthcare Council of Australia (now Complementary Medicines Australia) and president of the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM).
In 2001, he won the Lady Cilento award, which was established by the Complementary Healthcare Council of Australia to reward outstanding contributors for improvements in human health and developments in nutritional medicine who have been dedicated to their work for many years. He was also the recipient of the first ACNEM award granted by the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine in 2007, for the high-quality services he has provided in the profession of nutritional and environmental medicine for over 25 years.
