IGH Naturals Named One of Sacramento Business Journal’s Startups to Watch in 2025
IGH Naturals, the innovative company behind Humolyte, has been named one of the Sacramento Business Journal’s 2025 Startups to Watch. Recognized for its groundbreaking work in nutritional supplements, IGH Naturals is making strides in the healthcare field with products designed to improve the quality of life for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
What Makes IGH Naturals Stand Out?
Founded by Dr. Sourabh Kharait, a nephrologist and expert in cellular and molecular pathology, IGH Naturals is focused on creating hydration and supplement solutions that eliminate the need for intravenous drips. The company’s flagship product, Humolyte, is designed for patients with vulnerable digestive systems, helping to combat the dehydration, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea often associated with chemotherapy.
Humolyte is a patented magnesium-rich electrolyte hydration mix that serves as a cost-effective and non-invasive alternative to traditional IV hydration methods. By aiding hydration and protecting the digestive system, the formula is tailored to meet the specific needs of chemotherapy patients.
Preparing for a Clinical Milestone
In 2025, IGH Naturals is gearing up for a significant milestone—a proof-of-concept clinical trial overseas. This trial aims to demonstrate Humolyte’s efficacy in reducing chemotherapy-related side effects like oral ulcers and gastrointestinal distress. If successful, the company will be able to make medical claims about Humolyte’s effectiveness, a major step forward in cementing its role as a leader in supportive cancer care.
FDA Designation and Safety
IGH Naturals’ products, including Humolyte, are designated as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) for oral consumption by the FDA. This ensures their formulas meet high safety standards while remaining accessible to patients.
Expanding Product Offerings
While Humolyte is tailored for medical patients, IGH Naturals also offers products for other audiences. In 2019, the company launched Magnak, a nutritional supplement designed to enhance muscle performance and reduce cramps in athletes. Both products are available on Amazon and are manufactured through contract production.
A Small Company with Big Potential
Though IGH Naturals operates with a lean team, the company’s vision and impact are anything but small. With two patents for Humolyte and a focus on addressing critical gaps in patient care, IGH Naturals is poised to revolutionize how hydration and supplementation are delivered to vulnerable populations.
Looking Ahead
Being named one of Sacramento’s startups to watch is a testament to IGH Naturals’ potential to make a meaningful impact in healthcare. As the company prepares for its clinical trial and continues to innovate, 2025 could mark a transformative year for IGH Naturals, its products, and the patients who rely on them.
The HuMOLYTE team is proud to make the list and and thank the Sacramento Business Journal for this honor.
