Promised Land Management Limited

Clinically Proven References Precise Localized Body Contouring: According to the 2024 clinical study report, participants experienced a significant average waist circumference reduction after 12 systematic sessions (up to 5.8 cm*).Curve Firming &amp; Lifting: Through patented technology that activates skin fibroblasts, research shows up to 92%* of participants reported visible improvement in skin firmness, effectively optimising body contours.Endogenous Appetite Balance: Physical stimulation helps optimise internal hormonal balance (such as leptin), with clinical data indicating related indices improved by up to 4.3%*, supporting healthy dietary management at the physiological level.Building Lasting Body Shape from the Metabolic Root Cause Why is traditional weight loss hard to sustain? Body shape issues are often not just about calorie intake. They are closely related to declined circulation and metabolism, as well as localised fat accumulation caused by long-term poor posture. BTO’s “Perfect Posture &amp; Shape” program does not rely on medication. Instead, it intervenes through three core technologies: Posture Correction: Realigns skeletal structure to reduce compensatory muscle hypertrophy and fat accumulation.Circulation Optimisation: Accelerates lymphatic and blood flow to effectively eliminate excess water and metabolic waste.Fat Reduction &amp; Muscle Activation: Using patented physical pulses, it optimises body fat ratio and tightens deep muscle groups without damaging tissues.This is a systematic transformation from the inside out, aimed at enhancing your overall health and achieving a more sustainable, confident ideal state.

Chinese Medicine & Chinese Raw Herb testing

Zhongyao LinkTron Tech Co., Limited

Example - Rapeseed Oil Bottle Design:  Design inspiration of the bottle  The design inspiration of this bottle comes from the highly recognizable yak horn shape in the brand logo. By extracting the natural curves and contour features of the yak horn, the brand's visual symbol is ingeniously integrated into the product form, achieving a deep binding of the brand's genes and product design, and enhancing the brand's recognition and memory points.  Meanwhile, the bottle mouth adopts a specific angle of inclined design, which not only visually echoes the natural inclined posture of yak horns but also optimizes the oil pouring operation from an ergonomic perspective - the inclined structure can guide the liquid to flow in a directional manner, reducing residue and overflow during pouring. While ensuring the design aesthetics, it enhances the convenience and practicality of use. The organic unity of form and function has been achieved.

Skin Firming &amp; Lifting Scientifically Proven: Multi-Dimensional Aesthetic Enhancement Smoother Texture &amp; Touch: Clinical studies show that after 12 systematic sessions, participants experienced up to 93%* visible improvement in the smoothness of cellulite (orange-peel skin).Restored Skin Density: Through natural activation of fibroblasts, after 12 sessions, 92%* of participants reported significant improvement in skin firmness, effectively tightening and optimising loose contours.Immediate Decompression &amp; Lightness: Participants reported an average 50%* reduction in leg fatigue and heaviness sensation after the first session.Refined Local Contours: Combined with overall metabolic optimisation, after 12 sessions, participants observed a localised circumference reduction of up to 5.8 cm* (e.g., waist circumference).*Note: All data cited from the 2024 BeScored clinical study report. The figures demonstrate the physiological responses of the technology. Individual results may vary depending on constitution, age, and lifestyle habits. Non-Invasive Cellular Activation Aesthetics Why does skin lose its elasticity? Skin aging is not only due to natural factors but is also closely related to photoaging, life stress, and slowed circulation. The key cells responsible for maintaining elasticity — fibroblasts — produce less collagen and elastin over time, leading to sagging and visible texture changes.BTO’s “Natural Activation” Philosophy: Our patented physical stimulation technology does not rely on external fillers. Instead, it uses unique mechanical energy to perform “cellular fitness” on deep tissues. This naturally activates fibroblast activity, encouraging the production of endogenous collagen and hyaluronic acid.This approach is traceless, requires no downtime, and aims to reboot the skin’s self-healing cycle, helping maintain long-lasting youthful texture and firmness.

SGS HK Ltd

Defined as materials or products intended to come into contact with food and beverages, FCM is already in contact with them, or may reasonably be expected to come into contact with them. FCM can be found in the machinery that processes our food and beverages, the packaging that carries them, and the equipment we use for storage, cooking, and eating food and drink. FCM must not change the food and drink they are in contact with or endanger human health. Globally, different markets maintain their own FCM regulations to prevent products being placed on the market that alter our food or drink, bring about a deterioration in its organoleptic characteristics, or release hazardous substances. SGS’s global network of laboratories can support your products' compliance with the FCM regulations governing your target market such as: EuropeUSACanadaMercosur (Southern Common Market)Asia Pacific RegionComplying with technical specifications alone may not be sufficient to place FCM in certain markets. Some jurisdictions have implemented strict measures and controls by only recognizing designated laboratories to conduct testing and/or certification bodies (CB) to certify the FCMs are in compliance before allowing these products to access their markets. In all regions, compliance with FCM can be a complex process for economic operators. To avoid costly non-compliance, suppliers are advised to seek professional regulatory assistance for their target market.  Food Contact Materials (FCM) services from SGSensure compliance with requirements for sale and distribution in global markets.
