Our take
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that have evolved in nature over millions of years, often presenting extraordinary health benefits when consumed. As a result, many food, drink, and pill producers wish to enhance their products with peptides, but discovering the right ones and knowing how to use them requires vast scientific knowledge.
Nuritas leverages AI to provide a peptide discovery platform, partnering in-house scientists with food and pharmaceutical corporations to identify and utilise new peptides with health benefits. The company also produces two peptide products for companies to enhance their products with - PeptiStrong for muscle repair and Peptiyouth for slowing cellular aging.
Natural peptides can be found in all manner of fruits, vegetables, and other consumables, but Nuritas has taken a systematic approach to discover them through AI assistance, identifying their benefits, and using them to enhance products. Through its platform, the company has ultimately made the benefits of peptides accessible to companies regardless of whether they have expert scientists and biologists within their team.
