20 years of research. And we’re just getting started.
We’ve unlocked the hidden strength of lignin, the natural compound behind plants’ resilience and defence. Backed by more than 20 years of research, we’re pioneering lignin-powered health solutions.
Improving gut health and sustainability
From metabolic disorders and liver diseases to immune dysfunction, cardiovascular problems, allergies and IBS. Across the world, chronic conditions linked to gut imbalance are increasing. A large body of research now shows how disturbances in the intestinal flora can influence inflammation, immune regulation and the body’s overall resilience.
At the same time, society needs solutions that protect both people and the planet. Working with lignin – an abundant, renewable plant polymer– allows us to address human health while reducing reliance on fossil-based materials.

Lignin and gut health
- Gut imbalance is linked to diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular conditions, autoimmune disorders and IBS.
- Our lignin-based biopolymers promote a healthier gut environment, reduce inflammation and support immunity.
- Lignin’s natural ability to influence the intestinal flora gives it potential to help address everyday symptoms today and major global health challenges ahead.
Lignin properties and scientific findings
Lignin is a complex phenolic polymer designed by nature to defend, stabilise and protect plant life. Research from multiple studies shows its broad bioactivity: antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and immunomodulating properties largely driven by its highly polymerised polyphenolic structure.
Our lignin-based biopolymers have been proven to support a healthier gut environment, calm irritation and strengthen immunity. Their ability to bind toxins, influence microbiota balance and modulate immune pathways builds on more than 20 years of lignin research across gut health, inflammation and intestinal protection.
