Instead of wrapping proteins in polymers and buffers,
edible biologics let the plant cell wall do the work.
That’s not just efficient—it’s elegant.
It Targets the Immune System Where It Learns
Perhaps the most important distinction of all:
Plant-based biologics are designed not just for delivery—
but for immune alignment.
Injected biologics meet the immune system in the
bloodstream, where any unfamiliar protein is a potential
threat.
Edible biologics meet the immune system at the gut lining,
where proteins are routinely introduced in a context of
tolerance.
That’s not a coincidence. That’s design.
By targeting the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT),
edible biologics:
• Engage dendritic cells programmed for immune
education
• Promote regulatory T cell activation instead of
proinflammatory responses
• Reduce the likelihood of anti-drug antibodies
(ADA) and immune rejection
