If this is a drink similar to NONI my first question is has it been tested and approved by the FDA? If not then I would suggest your best approach is to build a killer proposal and presentation translating as much of the studies/literature as you can to English and then presenting it to a business that specializes in Health drinks.

A few suggestions to get started for a presentation:

- Market research, is there even a demand for your drink?
- Supply, can you find ways of getting it to North America cost effectively and in large enough supply if a company was to sign on to help you distribute it
- What is better about your drink that is different from NONI and all the other health drinks out there?

Then the entire goal (for you) is to basically bring the idea and sell it to another business most likely in exchange for an initial payoff and royalties.

That would be my suggestion on how to approach this primarily due to your lack of startup capital and presumable lack of experience in the Health drink promotional industry.
