ONCE UPON A TIME,
For millennia, people have known that some plants 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. 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, 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.
CONSISTENT
Ayana Bio technology allows us to control conditions and deliver consistent composition.
SUSTAINABLE
Through biotechnology, Ayana Bio is leaving the limitation of agriculture behind and turning to a modern solution that is more environmentally friendly.
NON-TOXIC
Ayana Bio is eliminating the possibility of product contamination by heavy metals, pesticides, and other soil contaminants and ensuring product safety.

HOW AYANA BIO DOES THIS
We develop plant cells that we then grow in stainless steel tanks, yielding identical (or even higher potency) beneficial bioactives.
STEP ONE
GROW
We source and grow authenticated plants in our lab to sample tissue.
STEP TWO
SAMPLE
We sample many parts (flower, root, leaf, etc.) from the authenticated plants to identify the ideal cell lines to produce the bioactives of interest
STEP THREE
GENERATE
We feed the explant with a proprietary blend of micronutrients optimized for each plant species to form callus. We then adapt the callus to liquid and conduct a preliminary media screen of the solid and liquid to observe growth and metabolites produced
STEP Four
SELECT
We use state-of-the-art technologies (e.g., high throughput multi-omics) to identify the best cell line to produce certain bioactives and lock-in the cell line for optimization.
STEP FIVE
OPTIMIZE
Once a cell line has matured through product screening we begin process development. We grow and maintain each specific cell line in a controlled bioreactor environment to optimize cell growth and bioactive production.
STEP SIX
CULTIVATE
Once the bioprocess has been developed, we scale up optimized cell lines for commercial production. We then harvest the cells for bioactives and can extract or isolate them per customer specifications.
