Verdant Nature’s Fermentation Discovery platform coordinates the efforts of research laboratories specially equipped for identification and analysis of microbial metabolites derived from sustainable and renewable vegan sources to provide wholesome and nutrient-dense dietary ingredients comprising a wide range of biologically active metabolites, including Terpenes, Polysaccharides, Alkaloids, Triterpenes, Thiols, Phenolics, Sterols, Biogenic amines and Secondary Metabolites such as Short-Chain Fatty Acids.

Fermentation also enables beneficial microbes to synthesize vitamins and minerals and reduce anti-nutrients, while producing Bacteriocins,  Sphingolipids, Organic acids and Bioactive Peptides & Enzymes– providing beneficial dietary constituents known to help manage oxidative stress, support a healthy immune response, maintain inflammatory balance, metabolic efficiency and regulation of neurotransmitters, in addition to enhancing microbiome diversity and vigor. Fermentates have also been studied for their effects on cognitive capacity, mood, stress adaptation, appetite, BMI,  obesity, gluten & lactose sensitivity, intestinal permeability, joint mobility, athletic endurance, skin aging and other biomarkers of human performance, wellness and healthspan.

VN’s Geroscience Discovery Platform leverages our Microbiomics, Fermentation, Solvent-Free extraction and SNEDDS delivery systems to yield novel, bioavailable Senolytic, Senostatic & Geroprotective dietary ingredients from wholesome natural foods.

Our molecular Geroscience research objectives range from multiple aspects of mitochondrial function to transcription factors regulating critical intracellular antioxidant and cytoprotective mechanisms in a systems biology model to integrate metabolic and cell-signaling networks influencing cognition, mood, insulin sensitivity, sarcopenia and obesity.
