/’zī-es/

ZYUS is inspired by science. Born from the abstraction of ‘science’ and ‘zygote’ (the fusion of two cells), we represent the beginning of life and the importance of improving quality of life. We believe in taking a forward, collaborative approach and place high value in our teamwork, partnerships and commitment to the broader ‘us' - society. We believe that together, we can bring phyto-therapeutics to the global medical market.
