OPEN HEREThaena® + ThaenaBiotic® FAQs
Thaena®, pronounced | thay-nah |, is a female-founded, Pacific Northwest-based company. Our mission is simple: To use science, radical innovation, and the microbiome to help people feel better. We believe in using the innate wisdom of the human body to shift the paradigms of medicine by expanding access to microbiome supports and putting postbiotics on the map.
Our flagship product, ThaenaBiotic®, is a testament to this. The world’s first human stool-derived, complex postbiotic supplement, ThaenaBiotic® contains an ecosystem of postbiotic signaling molecules plus prebiotic fiber, heat-killed probiotics, and cell fragments harmoniously working together—making it not just a supplement, but an embodiment of our holistic approach.
It’s true, ThaenaBiotic®’s primary ingredient is (human) poo.
Before you crinkle your nose, hear us out.
Poop is the most comprehensive vehicle of delivery of a complex and diverse ecosystem of small signaling molecules (postbiotics) that can support a balanced and healthy microbiome. Just as compost enriches and revitalizes soil, poop holds great potential to positively impact our internal gardens.
Consider ThaenaBiotic® a blend of nature’s ingenuity and our scientific curiosity, created to help us feel better.
Prebiotics and postbiotics both relate to gut health and the microbiome, and they each serve a distinct role. Here’s how we define them:
> PREbiotics are special fibers, polyphenols, and nutrients in the foods we eat that nourish good gut bacteria. These are not generally absorbed through normal, human digestion.
> POSTbiotics are metabolic byproducts from the fermentation process of bacteria. When this fermentation occurs in the human microbiome, an entire ecosystem of communication molecules is produced that can have various positive impacts on health.
The good news: ThaenaBiotic® contains both!
ThaenaBiotic® transcends the limitations of traditional probiotics, which rely on self-selected bacterial strains and live microbes. Thaena®’s innovative sterilization process uses high heat and high pressure to lyse (explode) the living components in poop while leaving behind the metabolites (postbiotics) we’re after. This is where the magic happens!
By using sterilized, healthy poop as the main ingredient in ThaenaBiotic®, we can harvest a broader spectrum of components and ensure the retention of crucial signaling molecules and bioactive compounds.
Carefully purified and isolated, the bioactive ingredients in ThaenaBiotic® – those small molecules that are fundamental in relaying signals of health to our bodies – can be thought of as the essence of a healthy gut and are delivered in a convenient capsule crapsule™ format.
The bedrock of ThaenaBiotic® is the incredible power of the human microbiome, which we harness by sterilizing the stool of people who we believe are extraordinary embodiments of health — the donors we fondly refer to as our Unicorn Poopers. They are the source of the rich, diverse ecosystem of postbiotics that make ThaenaBiotic® so comprehensive.
To become a Thaena® donor, a person must meet our stringent health criteria. Among other things, they must: have been born vaginally and breastfed, eat a diverse array of fruits, vegetables, and fibers, have 1+ well-formed bowel movement daily, exercise multiple times a week and move their bodies every day, take care of their mental and emotional health, maintain low stress levels, have a healthy BMI, be within 18-50 years of age, have never been diagnosed with chronic disease, taken 5 rounds of antibiotics (or less) in their lifetime, maintain healthy sleep patterns, no allergies, no mood disorders, no tobacco use...... To name a few.
Our donors are, in essence, the epitome of a balanced and thriving microbiome; they are like natural, highly efficient, and highly evolved fermenters, producing a diverse range of healthy postbiotics by transforming the food they consume into a complex assortment of beneficial compounds.
