BE BOLD & GLOBAL: BE International Triumphs at Functional Foods for Wellness Awards 2026

BANGKOK, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BE International has achieved a spectacular triple victory at the Functional Foods for Wellness Awards 2026 ceremony, held on 20th January 2026 at the Pullman Bangkok King Power in Bangkok, Thailand. The company was honoured with three prestigious accolades for its flagship BElixz series, recognising SHIRUTO, LIVCORE, and I-VXION as category leaders. This achievement underscores BE International's commitment to its 2026 motto, "BE BOLD & GLOBAL", and its enduring mission to go "Beyond Eternity" by delivering world-class wellness solutions.

2026 Award-Winning Excellence: The BElixz Series

The Functional Foods for Wellness Awards honour products that demonstrate exceptional efficacy, innovation, and quality in the health industry. This year, three of our star performers from the BElixz series have been crowned champions in their respective categories.

BElixz SHIRUTO: Annual Immune Function Product Award
Staying Resilient in a World of Constant Exposure

Winner of the Annual Immune Function Product Award, BElixz SHIRUTO is the answer to a world where exposure to viruses and environmental stressors is unavoidable.

Rather than simply "boosting" immunity, what the body needs is balance—an immune system that is alert, responsive, and well-coordinated. BElixz SHIRUTO is an immune-support health food from Japan designed for daily use. Its efficacy lies in its hero ingredient:

• IP-PA1, a patented fermented wheat extract extensively studied by Professor Hiroyuki Inagawa (PhD.) and developed through a unique cultivation process patented in over 10 countries.

Together with Beta-glucan and Vitamin C, SHIRUTO activates macrophages and strengthens communication between immune cells. This ensures the immune response remains strong without becoming overstimulated. By supporting both innate (fast-acting) and adaptive (memory-based) immunity, SHIRUTO helps your immune system stay coordinated and ready to handle daily challenges.

BElixz I-VXION: Annual Vision & Eye Health Product Award
Caring for Eyes in a Screen-Centric Lifestyle

Recognized with the Annual Vision & Eye Health Product Award, BElixz I-VXION addresses one of the most defining features of modern life: digital exposure.

Work, education, and entertainment now revolve around screens, leading to visual fatigue and eye discomfort across all age groups. BElixz I-VXION is crafted according to Japanese quality standards and features three key ingredients:

• Marigold Extract: Internationally patented, supplying Lutein and Zeaxanthin in a golden 5:1 ratio enhanced with Meso-Zeaxanthin.
• Maqui Berry Extract: Rich in Delphinidin.
• Black Currant Extract: Containing Anthocyanins.

This formulation delivers 5 key eye benefits: protecting against blue light, improving tear production, enhancing overall blood flow around the eyes, maintaining healthy ocular pressure, and improving the field of vision. Whether for professionals, students, or seniors, I-VXION supports the eyes from within—helping them stay focused and comfortable in today's visually demanding world.

BElixz LIVCORE: Annual Liver Health Product Award
Supporting the Body's Detoxification Core

Securing the Annual Liver Health Product Award, BElixz LIVCORE provides essential care for the body's hardest-working organ.

Modern diets, late nights, and processed foods place significant demands on the liver. Often called the "silent organ," the liver works continuously to support detoxification and metabolism, yet its health is frequently overlooked. BElixz LIVCORE is a five-ingredient liver support formula designed to complement daily wellness routines.

It features ingredients carefully sourced from trusted international origins, including Broccoli Seed Extract, Milk Thistle Extract, Artichoke Extract, Turmeric Extract, and French Oakwood Extract. These work synergistically to:

• Support natural detoxification processes.
• Help remove toxins and waste products.
• Provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support.
• Energise the liver to continue its essential detox functions.

Rather than short-term "cleanses," LIVCORE encourages consistent, gentle liver care that fits into everyday life.

A Holistic Approach to Being Bold & Global

Immunity, vision, and liver health may seem unrelated, but in modern life, they are deeply connected. When these systems work in harmony, the body is better equipped to handle both internal and external stressors.

By supporting the body from multiple angles, BElixz SHIRUTO, I-VXION, and LIVCORE form a practical, lifestyle-relevant wellness trio for today's world. Modern wellness isn't about perfection—it's about consistency. With the right daily support, staying well becomes part of life, not a reaction to it.

As we celebrate these achievements, BE International remains dedicated to empowering you to BE BOLD in your wellness journey and take your health GLOBAL.

BE BOLD & GLOBAL: BE International Triumphs at Functional Foods for Wellness Awards 2026

BE BOLD & GLOBAL: BE International Triumphs at Functional Foods for Wellness Awards 2026

HANGZHOU, China, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As we enter 2026, the convergence of AI and IoT infrastructure is reshaping industries, unlocking unprecedented opportunities to optimize operations, enhance security, and improve sustainability. Here are Hikvision's forecasts of the five key trends shaping the AIoT landscape in 2026.

1. Scenario-based AIoT solutions are rapidly unlocking new business value

Thanks to AIoT, we are witnessing a profound digital shift moving beyond basic IT informatization to deep integration with Operational Technology (OT). Business value is no longer created by fragmented data collection, but increasingly by harvesting insights naturally and continuously from daily operations. By embedding perception capabilities into specific real-world scenarios, AIoT enables automated agility and real-time decisions, rapidly generating new business value.

2. Large-scale AI models are evolving into new capabilities for "AI+"

Large-scale AI models are empowering the core analysis and processing flow through "AI+" integration. While large language models have revolutionized human-digital interaction, industry-specific models are now reshaping how IoT data interacts with the physical world. We can already see that by embedding AI into data analysis and signal processing, these models significantly enhance precision and efficiency. AI Agents are now bridging the gap between perception and human intent, enabling users to communicate naturally using everyday language.

3. Edge AI is transforming devices from data collectors to intelligent analyzers

Increasingly, the "Cloud + AI" model is no longer the only option for enterprise digitalization. By moving AI functions from the cloud to the edge, organizations can achieve millisecond-level response times, operate seamlessly offline, and maintain on-premises privacy.

This localized architecture extends its value by greatly optimizing storage efficiency. This is particularly significant for complex video analysis. Edge devices can now precisely identify key targets such as people or vehicles at the source. Then, the system applies differentiated encoding—preserving critical foreground details, while compressing background areas. This drastically reduces storage requirements without sacrificing visual clarity.

4. Responsible AI is embedding ethics into every stage of innovation

AI is transforming our lives, work, and business at an unprecedented pace. Yet, this revolution brings a critical responsibility: to ensure innovation unfolds safely, ethically, transparently, and beneficially for all. Responsible AI is no longer optional—it is both a moral imperative and a strategic necessity that builds trust, mitigates risk, and drives long-term innovation.

It should permeate the entire AI lifecycle—from research and development to deployment and real-world application.

5. AIoT is expanding technology's role from business to society and environment 

AIoT is now being widely adopted for broader social and environmental applications, demonstrating how intelligent systems can serve humanity and nature. Specialized AIoT devices are revolutionizing conservation efforts, from wildlife monitoring to vegetation health tracking. For example, crop growth monitoring systems that leverage AIoT technologies for large-scale, real-time analysis are becoming increasingly widespread in agriculture, enabling precise management and optimizing yields through digitization.
