We started Aqabela during the Covid crisis after seeing the social consequences of a public health strategy that focused on patient treatment instead of remembering that prevention is the best medicine. Today the buzzword is 'Healthspan' - it means finding ways of helping people stay healthier for longer. Investors call this the largest total addressable market in history. Just looking at the USA, one estimate puts it at $38Trillion for every year increase in healthy living (Scott et al., Nature Aging (2021) 1: 616-623).
We asked ourselves, "What could work as another layer of health protection that could significantly impact healthspan? " We thought nutrition was the answer.

We asked ourselves, "What could work as another layer of health protection that could significantly impact healthspan? " We thought nutrition was the answer. Much of the activity around this area is in the pharmaceutical space. The biggest concern with this is safety - every drug has toxicity and some of the protocols being proposed include the use of multiple pharmaceutical products compounding the safety concerns. We have found functional ingredients in food that work better than pharmaceutical products without safety concerns.
Using our know-how we identify functional ingredients with hidden health functions. We develop intellectual property around these functional ingredients and partner with food ingredient companies and food producers to bring consumers health-impacting products and empower them to make independent and informed healthy food choices.
Food is an enjoyable, safe and effective pathway to keep living our best healthy lives. Our work at Aqabela has shown that our food choices can literally make the difference between a life lived to the full or a life lived one day at a time.
We made a discovery that shocked us! Our supermarkets are filled with different brands (how many brands of milk can we choose from?) but which one is best? We found out that all brands are not equal. The food products we choose could literally make the difference between life and death.
We are identifying the components of the 'good' brands we found, developing intellectual property & partnering with food producers to bring the consumer functional ingredients with the potential to make a health-impacting difference in their lives.
We want to make supermarkets places of empowerment for consumers who want to take charge of their own health. In order to make healthy choices, they need the information available on the can, bottle or box. This requires a regulatory health claim so that consumers have confidence that the product will support their health - whether it b
We want to make supermarkets places of empowerment for consumers who want to take charge of their own health. In order to make healthy choices, they need the information available on the can, bottle or box. This requires a regulatory health claim so that consumers have confidence that the product will support their health - whether it be from respiratory viruses, help prevent diabetes, improve their performance on the pitch or just know its good for them. Our next set of milestones is to prove our functional ingredient IP works in human health through the clinical trial process, progressing to authorized regulatory health claims for immune health and metabolic health. We are raising $5M to create full food value for consumers, producers and investors in Aqabela. Click below to find out more.
Functional Ingredients introduce health-impacting functions into CPG food products. What would that be worth to your consumers? Your bottom line? Your shareholders? Regulatory health claims can increase the retail price of products up to 225%. We have filed our first patent for a novel ingredient and our know-how could introduce healt
Functional Ingredients introduce health-impacting functions into CPG food products. What would that be worth to your consumers? Your bottom line? Your shareholders? Regulatory health claims can increase the retail price of products up to 225%. We have filed our first patent for a novel ingredient and our know-how could introduce health properties into $1 Trillion worth of products that are currently sold.
