Immune Compatibility by Design


               In conventional biologics, immune rejection is an ongoing
               challenge. Proteins delivered via injection or infusion often
               provoke the immune system, triggering anti-drug
               antibodies (ADAs) that neutralize efficacy and, in some
               cases, create dangerous inflammatory reactions. Entire
               biologic classes have been derailed by these immune
               complications.


               Plant-based oral delivery takes a different approach: don’t
               fight the immune system—cooperate with it.

               When a protein is delivered orally, embedded in a food-like
               matrix, it interacts with the gut’s tolerance mechanisms—
               not its threat detectors.


               The result?


                   •  Lower ADA formation
                   •  Reduced immune activation
                   •  Higher likelihood of immune silence or even
                       regulatory T cell engagement

               This makes edible biologics ideal for:


                   •  Chronic conditions requiring long-term exposure
                   •  Tolerizing therapies for autoimmune diseases
                   •  Early-life intervention where immune training
                       matters most

               It’s not just better delivery.
               It’s immune pedagogy—teaching the immune system to
               coexist with the therapy.
