This enables:
• Point-of-care or near-site production for
hospitals, rural clinics, or humanitarian missions
• Country-level manufacturing for national drug
security
• Community-level cultivation for chronic care
therapies in underserved areas
By cutting out global supply chains, this model reduces
time to delivery, eliminates cold storage dependency, and
builds regional autonomy into the healthcare system.
It’s not just a scientific shift—it’s a geopolitical one:
Health equity through local bioproduction.
It Uses Natural Encapsulation
In traditional biologics, protecting fragile proteins from
degradation requires synthetic excipients, cold storage, and
precise purification.
In plant-based systems, the plant does the encapsulation
for you.
Proteins are embedded within fibrous, starch-based, or
chloroplast-rich matrices that protect them through the
harsh conditions of digestion. This “natural packaging”
means:
• No need for purification in many cases
• Greater stability during shipping and storage
