About TIMA establishment
TIMA establishment was founded in Liechtenstein in 2001 to promote medical research. The TIMA establishment provides research grants in the field of oxidative stress (antioxidant research) and related diseases. The goal is to contribute to health and longevity by supporting advanced research in medical and pharmaceutical sciences.

Oxidative Stress and Disease
Through respiration, living organisms use oxygen from the atmosphere to burn nutrients in their bodies to produce energy, but they also produce ROS (reactive oxygen species) as a byproduct.
In addition to energy production, ROS can be produced by a variety of external factors, including ultraviolet light, radiation, bacteria, viruses, and air pollution, by lifestyle factors such as smoking and heavy alcohol use, and by disease and stress. The body has the ability to eliminate ROS (antioxidant power), but as the body ages, this function declines, and when ROS production becomes excessive (oxidative stress), it causes cellular damage and the body becomes increasingly rusty.
This rusting is called “aging” and is reported to be associated with more than 150 diseases. Major pathologies include cancer, inflammatory colitis, sleep apnea, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypertension, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and cirrhosis of the liver.
Research Objectives
Will the use of antioxidants (antioxidant supplements) to suppress oxidative stress lead to disease prevention and treatment? Our ultimate goal is to contribute to a “society of health and longevity” with a large body of evidence.
Major Developed Products
Antioxidant Supplement “Twendee X”
Twendee X is an antioxidant supplement containing eight useful ingredients including coenzyme Q10, vitamins, and amino acids.
It was evaluated by ICDD (France), a company that researches and measures numerous antioxidants, as having the world’s most powerful antioxidant effect in 2014; in 2019, a clinical trial led by the Japanese Society for the Prevention of Dementia confirmed that it was the first in the world to reduce the progression of mild cognitive impairment, with evidence of Antioxidant Supplement. It has also been confirmed to be effective in a number of allergic diseases that are believed to cause an imbalance in the immune system. In particular, 95% of asthma sufferers who participated in a monitoring survey reported a reduction in the number of asthma attacks.
Contents: Coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, L-glutamine, L-cystine, crystalline cellulose, stabilizer (hydroxypropyl cellulose), magnesium stearate, fumaric acid, succinic acid, micro-silicon dioxide, calcium carboxymethyl cellulose, vitamin B2, niacin
Antioxidant Supplement“Twendee Mtcontrol”
Developed to further expand the uses of the antioxidant formula “Twendee X”, this antioxidant supplement contains 15 useful ingredients including folic acid, vitamin C, and amino acids.
