Accelerating Natural Health Innovation
Welcome to Shiru's health initiatives hub, dedicated to bettering the health of people and our planet through breakthrough natural ingredients.
About the GLP-1 Innovation Alliance
The GLP-1 Innovation Alliance represents a groundbreaking approach to natural health innovation.
By combining Shiru's proprietary AI-powered discovery platform with the collective expertise of industry leaders, we're accelerating the identification and development of natural ingredients that can effectively activate GLP-1 pathways.
This consortium brings together companies of all sizes, from Fortune 500 enterprises to emerging brands, in a collaboration that democratizes access to cutting-edge discovery capabilities.
Over the course of the first year, consortium members access exclusive findings, gain first opportunities to license breakthrough ingredients, and help shape research priorities.
Whether you're developing the next generation of functional foods, innovative beverages, or dietary supplements, the GLP-1 Innovation Alliance provides the scientific foundation and collaborative ecosystem to transform your product pipeline.
With flexible participation tiers designed to accommodate different company sizes and objectives, every member can meaningfully contribute to and benefit from this revolutionary approach to natural GLP-1 activation.
