FLS started its journey in 2017, by manufacturing probiotics with different flavours. Later it introduced more products in the wellness range and increased its targeted products. Over the period the firm grew with the growth rate of 300 percent per year, catering to clients all over the country as well as abroad, and formulating more than 1000 different products related to sports, beauty, wellness and other forms of nutrition. FLS consists of a team of proficient scientists, researchers, nanotechnologists, nutritionists, marketeers and pharma experts with a collective experience of over 50 years.
Looking forward, the firm is planning to build a word-class nutraceutical park to facilitate collaboration between Indian and international clients, and plan to introduce new products by integrating herbal and ayurvedic elements into modern nutraceuticals. To improve efficiency and reduce production time, the FLS has recently shifted its operation from semi to full automation, thus eliminating human intervention and ensuring hygiene.
"It is a rising market due to an increase in demand. People are now switching to healthy alternatives and it is not far when this industry becomes a trillion dollars industry. It is now looked upon as an equivalent to pharma products. Even doctors have started recommending supplements as preventive measures for any body dysfunctionalities, which has caused a major hike in the nutraceutical products", shares Dr. Prakash.
