ONCE UPON A TIME,
it was called alchemy

For centuries, people have recognized the unique properties of certain plants. Today, as we uncover the science behind these plants, we discover they contain bioactive compounds that offer health benefits beyond traditional nutrition, which supports physiological effects that promote overall wellness.

The Power of Bioactives

Bioactives are powerful compounds found in a wide variety of plants. They are known to have a profound influence on health and disease prevention. With countless bioactive molecules yet to be discovered, this field offers immense potential for advancing human wellness. As research continues, we are just beginning to explore the vast potential of plant-based bioactives in supporting optimal health—and how they can be used in everyday products.

A Better Path: Moving Beyond Traditional Bioactive Ingredient Extraction Methods

The challenge in bioactive production lies in extracting these valuable molecules from plants, which makes the process costly and inefficient. Ayana Bio offers a solution by creating and scaling these complex molecules, shifting away from traditional agriculture-based extraction. As consumer demand for safer, higher-quality, and clinically validated products grows, Ayana Bio’s approach to ingredient creation is the future. We provide more sustainable and standardized solutions for health-focused industries.

HOW AYANA BIO DOES THIS

We develop plant cells that we then grow in stainless steel tanks, producing bioactive ingredients with consistent potency or even enhanced effectiveness.

STEP ONE

We source and grow authenticated plants in a controlled lab environment to sample tissue.

STEP TWO

We sample various plant parts—such as flowers, roots, and leaves— from authenticated plants to identify the optimal cell lines for producing targeted bioactives.

STEP THREE

We feed the explant with a proprietary blend of micronutrients, optimized for each plant species, to form callus. The callus is then adapted to liquid media, where both solid and liquid growth environments are screened to assess growth and metabolites produced, ensuring optimal bioactive production.

STEP FOUR

We use state-of-the-art technologies like high-throughput multi-omics to identify the most effective cell lines for producing specific bioactives. Once the optimal cell line is found, it is locked in for further optimization.

STEP FIVE

Once a cell line has passed product screening, we initiate process development. Ayana Bio cultivates each specific cell line in a controlled bioreactor environment to optimize both cell growth and bioactive production.

STEP SIX

After developing the bioprocess, we scale up optimized cell lines for commercial production. We then harvest the cells for bioactive compounds, which are extracted or isolated according to customer specifications.
