Istanbul University Molecular Medicine doctor Dr. Hande Karagedik has completed the work of the food supplement “Pinaster Pine” syrup produced from maritime pine cones. In July 2019, with the support of TÜBİTAK, Karagedik started working to make a cough syrup, which he prepared with the help of pine tree to prevent his aunt’s cough when he was little. The woman entrepreneur Karagedik, who is also the founder of the R&D company named Hamata, completed the laboratory stages of the syrup and received the license approval from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
The woman entrepreneur, the founder of an R&D company called Hamata, completed the laboratory stages of the syrup and obtained the product license from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. In recent years, people’s return to nature and organic, their unwillingness to use chemical drugs has increased the importance of traditional treatments and OTC group supplements. Combining herbs and modern medicine, Karagedik used different extraction techniques from the pine plant in his project, and after a difficult laboratory process of more than two years, he found the method with the most effective active ingredient and developed Pinaster Pine syrup and received a product patent.
Hande Karagedik is very happy that the syrup she prepared with the information inherited from her aunt will benefit all people; “The syrup, which does not contain any additives, has been licensed as a food supplement by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. When we look at the active ingredient components found in ingredient analysis, the product can be used in the symptomatic treatment of upper respiratory tract infections. Everyone over the age of 4, including diabetics, can easily drink the product, and we continue to work on advanced forms of syrup.”
