Arizona Tribune - IGC Pharma Expands Holiby(TM) Product Line With 'Longevity' and 'Renew' - Targeting the Multi-Billion-Dollar Anti-Aging Market

POTOMAC, MD / ACCESS Newswire / February 20, 2025 / IGC Pharma, Inc. (NYSE American:IGC) ("IGC Pharma" or the "Company") is expanding its Holiby™ wellness brand with the launch of two new product lines-Longevity and Renew-specifically designed to meet the increasing demand for anti-aging and cellular health solutions.

Holiby is scaling its commercial strategy through direct-to-consumer e-commerce, white-label and private-label partnerships, and targeted influencer marketing and digital advertising. This multi-channel approach positions Holiby for growth while expanding IGC Pharma's non-dilutive revenue streams.

The expansion of Holiby complements IGC Pharma's broader mission of advancing science-backed health solutions, including clinical-stage drug development for Alzheimer's and neurodegenerative diseases. The Company is currently progressing IGC-AD1, its investigational Alzheimer's therapy, through a Phase 2 clinical trial ("CALMA") while also exploring new drug candidates in metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. The nutraceutical and pharmaceutical segments serve parallel markets, enabling IGC to leverage its research expertise, consumer insights, and distribution network to build a comprehensive health-focused portfolio.

"Longevity and Renew represent a strategic move into the high-growth anti-aging market," said Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma. "By leveraging cutting-edge research and scalable manufacturing, we're not only delivering best-in-class products, but also unlocking new revenue opportunities for Holiby through direct sales and white-label partnerships. This expansion aligns with our vision of merging science and wellness to create long-term value for both consumers and shareholders."

The global longevity and anti-aging market is projected to exceed $182 billion by 2028, with consumers increasingly prioritizing cellular health, cognitive function, and sustained energy. Holiby's science-backed formulations are designed to naturally support NAD+ levels, a key molecule in metabolism and cellular repair that declines with age, impacting energy, mental clarity, and overall vitality.

The new products include:

Longevity Gummies - Cognitive & Cellular Health Support

• Boosts NAD+ levels to promote healthy aging

• Lion's Mane Mushroom for cognitive function and memory

• Powerful antioxidants to help fight cellular damage

Renew Gummies - Energy & Resilience

• Supports NAD+ metabolism for sustained vitality

• Chaga Mushroom for immune defense & inflammation support

• Plant-based adaptogens to enhance stress resilience

Holiby's consumer-first approach prioritizes clean-label, science-driven formulations, appealing to a growing audience of health-conscious professionals, entrepreneurs, fitness enthusiasts, and wellness advocates aged 40+. As Holiby continues to gain traction, IGC Pharma is positioned to capture market share in the booming anti-aging, longevity, and cognitive health sectors, further reinforcing the Company's commitment to innovation and strategic revenue growth.

Holiby's Longevity & Renew products are available now.
