19 Feb 2024 --- A growing body of research supports the various health benefits of bioactives — molecules or active compounds found in plants and fungi. At the same time, extracting these compounds from plants can be expensive and inefficient. Instead, Ayana Bio identifies, creates and scales these molecules for nutritional solutions through plant cell technology. “If you want to replicate the full vital complex of bioactives contained in botanicals, plant cells are the only tool to do that,” Frank Jaksch, CEO of Ayana Bio, tells Nutrition Insight.
