The science of ECHO

Every cell speaks.

Sialic acid sits on the surface of your cells, where it supports how they recognise and communicate with one another. Edible bird's nest is a natural source of it, and that is why it sits at the centre of ECHO.

What is sialic acid?

Where does it live?

Where is it found in food?

ECHO Dates measured nearly twice the level reported for human colostrum.2

How much is in one bottle?

±216 mgof sialic acid in one 70 mL bottle of ECHO Dates. About 193 mg in Pandan.1

What it is

Sialic acid, explained.

Sialic acid is naturally found on cell surfaces, where it helps support cell communication, recognition, and the structure of the nervous system. It sits at the outer tips of the chains that cover each cell, the first point of contact when one cell meets another.

Its role

Where sialic acid works in the body.

Described at the level of biological role. Not a claim that ECHO treats, cures or prevents any condition.

01Cell communication

Part of the signals cells use to recognise and respond to one another.

02Nervous system

Present in the structure of nerve cells and brain tissue.

03Cellular recognition

Helps the body tell its own cells apart from what does not belong.

The source

Found in bird's nest.

Edible bird's nest naturally contains sialic acid. ECHO nests come from pristine forests in Indonesia, and are made into a ready to drink bottle so the nest fits into an ordinary day.

Measured

Measured, not assumed.

We sent ECHO to SGS, an independent laboratory, to measure the sialic acid (NeuAc) in each variant. These are the results, as measured.

Dates, 70 mL bottle±216 mg3,086 mg/kg NeuAc
Pandan, 70 mL bottle±193 mg2,759 mg/kg NeuAc
How it was tested

Tested by SGS on a production sample of each variant. Values are for a 70 mL bottle and rounded. Natural products vary slightly from batch to batch.

See the reports and certificates

In an SGS lab test, ECHO Dates measured 3,086 mg/kg of sialic acid, nearly twice the level reported for human colostrum in published research.2

Questions?

We are here to help.

A natural compound found on the surface of cells, where it supports cell communication and recognition. Edible bird's nest is a natural food source of it.

Edible bird's nest naturally contains sialic acid, glycoproteins and amino acids. In an SGS lab test on a production sample, ECHO measured more than 190 mg of sialic acid in a 70 mL bottle.

No. SGS tested a production sample of each variant. We share the result as it was measured, and natural products vary slightly from batch to batch.

There is no fixed rule. Many people enjoy it in the morning or before bed, as part of a daily routine.

Yes. ECHO is a food product suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. If you have a specific health condition, please ask your doctor first.

Yes, for adults of all ages and for children above 4 years. ECHO is ready to drink and needs no preparation. For anyone with a specific health condition, please ask a doctor first.

ECHO is retort processed, which keeps it stable at room temperature. No preservatives or stabilisers are added.

Keep it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, enjoy it right away, or refrigerate and finish it soon.

Fine sediment is a natural part of bird's nest and is not a sign of damage.

No. ECHO is a food product. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
