NUTRACEUTICALS & PHARMACEUTICALS
THE FUTURE IS BEING BUILT WITH BIOLOGY
We genetically engineer cyanobacteria to produce natural bioactive compounds using light and CO2, allowing us to provide a reliable, high-quality supply that can scale with your needs; that isn’t affected by seasonal variation, adverse environmental events or climate change, and doesn't rely on damaging petrochemicals. In other words, because these ingredients are produced in a controlled environment, their bioproduction can be better regulated, maintaining a consistent supply of quality product, while reducing impurities and irregularities - a common element among farmed and naturally sourced ingredients.
Using our biotechnology platform allows us to establish a safe, predictable and controlled supply chain of bioidentical ingredients that avoid the problems of sustainability and quality in favor of a reliable high-quality and highly-consistent balance of active materials all year-round.
CASE STUDIES

ASTAXANTHIN
We biomanufacture high quality astaxanthin, stereochemically identical to that produced by Haematococcus pluvialis, using less land, water and energy whilst capturing and utilizing CO2. Astaxanthin is a highly sought after feed supplement for aquaculture and as a nutraceutical and cosmetic ingredient.
For nutraceuticals, our astaxanthin is identical to that produced by Haematococcus pluvialis and, thanks to our advanced solar biomanufacturing Cyanoworks™ technology, can be produced more cost-effectively and sustainably. Our process consumes less land, water and energy so that these precious resources are available to help feed the planet.
