Ora Biotics

Ora Biotics is a Danish foodtech company developing highly specific prebiotic ingredients designed to support selected beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiome. By focusing on targeted functionality rather than broad microbiome stimulation, the company enables more precise health effects at lower dosages and improved applicability across food, beverage, and supplement products.

Many existing prebiotic solutions are associated with formulation challenges, sensory impact, or gastrointestinal discomfort, which limits their use in everyday products. Ora Biotics addresses these challenges by developing stable, sensory-neutral ingredients that are designed to integrate seamlessly into real-world food and beverage applications.

The company’s approach builds on deep expertise in functional food ingredients, combining scientific understanding of fibre–microbiome interactions with a strong focus on commercial applicability. Ora Biotics develops its ingredients with both health outcomes and formulation requirements in mind, enabling customers to deliver prebiotic functionality without compromising product quality or consumer experience.

Ora Biotics operates as a B2B ingredient company and targets customers within the food, beverage, and dietary supplement industries. The company is progressing through research, validation, and regulatory processes with the ambition of bringing its first products to market and supporting wider adoption of targeted prebiotics in everyday nutrition.

The founding team combines scientific and commercial experience from the global food and ingredient industry. This dual perspective enables Ora Biotics to bridge the gap between microbiome science and scalable, market-ready ingredient solutions.
