Shaping Future Formulations Through Science and Innovation
At Hekim Pharmaceuticals, we place people, science, and sustainable quality at the core of our R&D approach. Founded on the medical vision of our Chairman of the Board, Pediatrician Dr. Murat Doğan, our R&D laboratories develop reliable dietary supplements with high absorption profiles and advanced dermo-cosmetic formulations for both pediatric and adult wellness.
The driving force behind our trusted market brands led by Argivit is our research infrastructure that bridges nature-inspired functional ingredients with advanced manufacturing technologies and academic collaborations.
R&D Capabilities and Focus Areas
- High-Absorption and Stable Formulation Development: We design synergistic combinations aimed at optimal nutrient utilization in the body, supported by ongoing stability studies to ensure product integrity throughout its shelf life.
- Comprehensive Galenic Form Diversity: Integrated with our advanced manufacturing facility in Tuzla, we engineer innovative formulations for solid (tablets, capsules, effervescents), liquid (syrups, suspensions, drops, sprays), semi-solid (creams, gels), and next-generation chewable gummies.
- Pediatric and Adult Solutions for Consumer Compliance: We focus on taste-masking technologies to improve pediatric compliance, clean-label ingredient profiles, and targeted vitamin-mineral complexes.
- Dermocosmetic Laboratory Research: We formulate cosmetic solutions compatible with the skin flora and barrier, enriched with naturally sourced active ingredients and innovative molecules.
- University & Industry Partnerships: We carry out collaborative R&D projects with leading universities and scientists in the fields of natural product chemistry, raw material standardization, and novel formulation workflows.
End-to-End R&D and Validation Process
Every project conducted in our laboratories is managed under international quality standards from concept to pilot production:
- Standardized Raw Material Sourcing: Procuring high-purity, CoA-certified ingredients compliant with international pharmacopoeias and food codices.
- Formulation Optimization: Refining solubility, homogeneity, taste profile, and stability parameters at the laboratory scale.
- Physicochemical and Microbiological Analyses: Structural verification of active compounds, microbiological threshold tests, and accredited laboratory testing.
- Regulatory and Legal Compliance: Full alignment with Turkish regulations (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry / TITCK) and international CTD dossier standards for export target markets.
- Pilot Production and Scale-Up: Seamless technology transfer and validation from the R&D stage to GMP-certified industrial production lines in our Tuzla plant.
- Stability and Shelf-Life Tracking: Periodic verification of formulation quality through accelerated and long-term real-time stability protocols.
