Ayana Bio is Transforming Botanical Sourcing with Plant Cell Culture

Imagine growing plants—without soil, climate risk, or unpredictable harvests. At Ayana Bio, we’re transforming the way botanical ingredients are sourced using plant cell culture. By cultivating plant cells rather than whole crops, we deliver high-quality bioactives for the food, beverage, supplement, and sports nutrition markets—without the climate, contamination, or supply chain issues of traditional agriculture. From endangered species like Rhodiola to climate-sensitive crops like saffron and cacao, the need for a more sustainable, consistent alternative is urgent. Our Plant Cell Advantage™ platform produces clean, scalable ingredients with the full phyto-complex nature intended—unlike single-compound methods like precision fermentation. Thanks to our partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks, we leverage cutting-edge multi-omics (genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics) to optimize plant cell lines faster and more effectively. We’re already producing five plant cell ingredients—Echinacea, Sage, Lemon Balm, Dog Rose, and Hedgenettle—with commercial-scale production of Rosmarinic Acid from Sage launching in 2026. Ayana Bio serves: ✔️ CPG brands formulating functional ingredients ✔️ Ingredient suppliers seeking reliable botanical biomass ✔️ Partners looking to innovate in the $20B plant powder market Join us in building the future of plant-based bioactives—more reliable, more sustainable, and more complete.
