History
of Stherb
In 1995
The founder ( Nicom Kamhangptiyuth ) of the company discovered
the White Kwao Krua (known as Pueraria
Mirifica) at his own farm land at Chiang
Rai in the Northern Thailand. Where he learned from his
worker that, “If you eat this, your breasts become
big!”
Mr. Nicom applied for a scientific result of his Kwao
Krua in the Department of Plant Molecular Biotechnology
in United States. In
1996
The results stated that Mr.Nicom’s Kwao Krua has
a high density of Pueraria
Mirifica’s chemical compounds but
the disadvantage of Kwao Krua is that it has a slow growth
rate.
Mr. Nicom made a research with the group of biologist
to develop biological compound that will enhance the growth
of the Kwao Krua.
The lab team finally came out with a special type of Kwao
Krua that resulted in fast growth rate and Mr.Nicom
started the first systematic plantation, at 2000 acre
land in Chiang Rai province, and becoming the only high
premium type of Pueraria
Mirifica farm in the world. With great
efforts of maintaining the farm in the natural farming
way, Mr.Nicom organized a group of biologists to find
a perfect way to extract out the Pueraria
Mirifica to be used in cosmetics.
In 1997
Finally, the lab team came up with a perfect extract component
that can be used in cosmetic industry. Mr. Nicom made
a clinical research and studies on the product that will
be use on human. After all the research and development,
Mr. Nicom was prepared to introduce the product for the
world. In 1998
The Tropical Herbal Product Co., Ltd.
was established and his Bangkok office in Rachada road
was opened.The Company started the business by exporting
the raw-materials in an O.E.M. The Company had more than
20 different orders per-month to other countries.
In 1999
As the Pueraria Mirifica
reaches a popularity through out the world the company
faced an obstacle towards the importers. The importers
seem to find a cheaper Pueraria Mirifica in Thailand where
the Company lost most of the importers.
Realizing the problem the Company renovated by reminding
customers that there is only one top-quality of Pueraria
Mirifica through promotions. The products are also approved
by Food And Drugs Administration of Thailand, registration
code G187/42 for Puereria
Mirifica, and G202/42 for Butea
superba.
As a result, the importers that bought cheap-low-quality
Pueraria Mirifica
started to face the product quality complains from their
consumers. In 2000
Tropical Herbal Product Co., Ltd received
numerous questions from the consumers through out the
world about the other type of Pueraria
Mirifica products that does not work efficiently
as labeled. The Company started to regain back the importers
to 50 percent.
To gain consumers confidence in the Company’s products,
Mr. Nicom applied for CTFA
(The Cosmetic, Toiletry, And Fragrances Association).
In 2002
Tropical Herbal Product Co., Ltd was
registered as the first and the only company to be accepted
in CTFA as
the Pueraria Mirifica
Extract and Pueraria Mirifica
Tuber Powder supplier. (http://www.ctfa-buyersguide.org).
Also in the CTFA’s and the International Buyer’s
Guide 2003 edition volume 1 pages 247 and 248 as Pueraria
Mirifica root supplier.
The Company had importers through out the world. (Countries
such as, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Korea, Japan, China,
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Syria, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden,
Norway, Romania, Czech-Republic, Slovenia, Papua New Guinea,
New-Zealand, Australia and United States of America.)
