Company Introduction
We tackle the problem of inflammation which is at the base of all chronic disease and decreased quality of life. By designing convenient daily doses of unpasteurised fermented microdrinks, we enable users to increase their gut microbiome diversity and lower inflammatory levels in the body with a simple daily ritual, thus increasing their healthspan and consequently lifespan. Recent scientific studies confirm the link between regular consumption of fermented foods and decreased inflammation, and their superiority over isolated live bacteria strains.
We have two main streams of revenue - one is retail for which we have a dedicated brand Cidrani, and we collaborate with distributors for international expansion. The second is our D2C vertical, where we offer Ani Biome personalised fermented microdrinks based on lifestyle quiz, biological age testing and stool sequencing.

Link to Precision Nutrition
With the use of AI and multiple data sources (science-backed quiz, stool metagenomics sequencing and biological age/glycan test), we personalize monthly boxes of fermented microdrinks according to the user’s gut microbiome and lifestyle.
Each gut microbiome composition is as unique as a fingerprint and an incredibly complex ecosystem of microbes, requiring constant care and a tailor-made approach taking into account both dietary interventions and lifestyle choices in order to lower inflammation.
