Evidence-based, research-backed science speaks in truth and ensures we deliver high-quality, scalable ingredients that consumers and companies can trust," said Caitlyn Krebs, Co-founder and CEO. Krebs continued, "We implement the same rigorous approaches to vetting our investors as we do to developing new products. We are excited to work with Bonaventure Equity and have a partner who appreciates our rigorous standards."
