Coffee cherry, commonly discarded during coffee bean production, is repurposed in this innovation into a high-value nutraceutical through a clinically validated, sustainable extraction process. Rich in antioxidants and natural bioactive compounds, the product supports cardiovascular function, raises HDL (good) cholesterol, lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, enhances metabolic performance, and improves blood circulation. The process is designed with minimal environmental impact generating low emissions and aligning with zero-waste, circular economy models. Backed by clinical testing for both safety and efficacy, the technology offers a scientifically grounded, health-driven alternative to synthetic supplements. The inventors seek licensing partnerships with food, beverage, and nutraceutical manufacturers, and also welcome collaboration with academic institutions for further research into coffee cherry compounds.
