10.31.23
Dog Rose PCA, Hedge Nettle PCA, and Sage PCA are non-GMO plant powders with standardized bioactive compositions.
Ayana Bio, which is developing sustainable bioactives for consumer products using plant cell cultivation technology, launched its Plant Cell Advantage (PCA) ingredient portfolio of health and wellness ingredients, including Dog Rose PCA, Hedge Nettle PCA, and Sage PCA.
The ingredients are non-GMO plant powders with standardized bioactive compositions and, according to the company, can directly replace dog rose, hedge nettle, and sage in dietary supplements and food products.
Dog Rose PCA delivers joint health and immune support, Hedge Nettle PCA provides healthy inflammatory response and antioxidants, and Sage PCA offers healthy inflammatory response and cognitive support, the company said.
Ayana Bio’s ingredient portfolio also includes Echinacea-p PCA for immune benefits and Lemon Balm PCA for sleep and mood support, launched in April 2023.
The company develops these ingredients using plant cell cultivation—a means to create plant materials without growing plants in the ground. By growing real plant cells in stainless steel tanks, this process delivers the health benefits of plant bioactives without the quality issues that come from the constraints of conventional agriculture, including climate change, the company has argued.
Plant Cell Advantage ingredients are DNA-fingerprint certified, and offer increased bioavailability, full traceability, and a neutral taste and color.
"The health and wellness benefits of medicinal plants rarely come from a single bioactive," said Frank Jaksch, CEO of Ayana Bio. "Our Plant Cell Advantage portfolio maintains the full spectrum of bioactive compounds found in nature that work together in harmony to deliver the most powerful health benefits possible. With our newest Dog Rose PCA, Hedge Nettle PCA, Sage PCA, companies can incorporate high-quality, sustainable ingredients that improve people's quality of life."
