water, arrests degradation, and stabilizes the protein within
the plant matrix. The result is a shelf-stable powder that can
be stored at room temperature for months or even years,
with minimal loss of potency.

This opens doors not just for industrial savings, but for
global access. Therapies that once required refrigeration
can now be shipped to hot climates, rural villages, or
disaster zones without logistical gymnastics. The cold chain
isn’t patched. It’s rendered obsolete.

No Needle, No Clinic

Biologic drugs are powerful—but invasive. They are
injected under the skin, infused into the vein, or
administered in clinics by trained professionals. This
creates friction for patients: fear of needles, painful
injections, infusion reactions, missed workdays, and high
