Congrats! ZMUni Supports XtalPi in Achieving U.S. Self-Affirmed GRAS Certification for Novel Food Ingredient Tensotide™
Published on:2026-07-03

Recently, ZMUni Compliance Centre successfully supported XtalPi Holdings Limited (2228.HK) in securing a U.S. Self-affirmed GRAS determination for Tensotide™, an innovative oral peptide ingredient designed for blood glucose management. Developed through XtalPi's proprietary AI-powered peptide platform PepiX™, Tensotide™ is now cleared for lawful use in foods and dietary supplements in the United States, enabling a significant step forward in its global commercialization pathway.

 

This milestone represents another key achievement for XtalPi in the consumer health space and highlights ZMUni Compliance Centre's strong capabilities in overseas food regulatory compliance and international market access for novel and innovative ingredients, consistently enabling science-driven innovations to reach global markets.

Advancing metabolic health innovation: Tensotide™ addresses unmet needs in sugar management and weight control

 

With rising global prevalence of obesity and hyperglycemia, metabolic health continues to be a key growth area in the food and dietary supplement sector.

 

Current solutions remain limited by a trade-off between efficacy, safety, and cost. GLP-1 therapies require injection and long-term safety considerations, while botanical extracts and conventional peptides often face challenges in mechanism standardization and oral stability.

 

Tensotide™ was developed to address these gaps, offering a combination of demonstrated efficacy, strong stability, safety profile, and scalable production, supporting its use in food and supplement applications. In preclinical studies, it showed a reduction in post-meal blood glucose peaks of up to 30%.

 

The ingredient also demonstrates robust stability under heat, extreme pH, and enzymatic conditions, overcoming a key limitation in oral functional peptide development. To date, it has obtained a granted Chinese invention patent, completed PCT international filing, and achieved kilogram-scale production validation, supporting its readiness for industrial application.

 

With its regulatory status, functional profile, and formulation flexibility, Tensotide™ is well positioned for applications across dietary supplements and everyday food formats, supporting broader low-GI dietary solutions.

 

Regulatory statement: Tensotide™ is a food-grade ingredient compliant with applicable regulations. The information provided herein does not constitute any claim of therapeutic, disease-preventing, or health-promoting effects.
