For millennia, people have known that some plants and fungi have special properties. But as we elucidate these once-mysterious sources, we see nutrients present in food that produce physiological effects beyond their classical nutritional properties.
This is the power of bioactives
Bioactives are unique molecules found in a wide variety of plants and fungi. These compounds have a profound influence on health status and disease prevention -- and there are millions still to be discovered. It’s a dazzling universe that we’re just beginning to map.

The challenge is that these life-changing molecules are trapped inside plants and fungi, which makes them too expensive and inefficient to extract for nutritional solutions. Ayana Bio has the unique ability to find, create, and scale the complex molecules and molecular blends that have been otherwise locked away.
Extraction from agriculture material is the past,
Ingredient Creation is the Future
We need to reduce dependency on our inefficient agriculture-based supply chain. Today, consumers demand safer, higher-quality, more standardized products with health benefits that can be substantiated by clinical data, rather than anecdotal evidence.
We've partnered with the largest Synthetic Biology platform in the world, Ginkgo Bioworks, to develop bioactives quickly and at scale using cell culture technologies. We're excited to pioneer a new way to create nature-identical complex molecules as mixtures, or single compounds.
