Our Process

From Extraordinary Humans to Ecosystem-Informed Capsules

Donors

At Thaena®, we source from a small cohort of rigorously vetted donors who embody a rare standard of wellness. These individuals share resilient, thriving gut health; minimal antibiotic exposure; early-life microbial diversity from vaginal birth, breastfeeding, and varied environments; and no history of chronic illness or long-term pharmaceutical use.

Our donors complete in-depth health histories, lifestyle surveys, a two-week food diary, and a full naturopathic interview. We’re not just screening for disease—we’re selecting for donors that represent the healthiest and most balanced microbiomes we can find.

At its core, Thaena® is guided by one belief: Humans can help humans heal. And with the right tools, we all deserve access to the resilience we can’t always generate on our own.

Patented Processing

Here’s where Thaena’s innovation comes in. We use a proprietary, patented process to:

        1. Sterilize the material using autoclaving
        2. Preserve the naturally occurring microbial metabolites (postbiotics)
        3. Stabilize the output into a shelf-stable powder that retains its bioactive properties

Other postbiotics are made by pasteurization, tyndalization or filtration. We are different because we use a higher heat and the increased safety of autoclaving. It’s a human-derived postbiotics, safely delivered.

Capsule Formulation

After processing, the final blend contains only:

    - Sterilized, human-derived postbiotic material
    - Organic citric acid for long-term stability

We deliver this in an enteric-coated vegetarian capsule for targeted release.Every batch undergoes rigorous testing for:

    - Sterility (no viable organisms)
    - Heavy metals
    - Moisture content (to guarantee shelf stability)

We don’t compromise on safety—each capsule reflects the same care you’d expect from a clinician-developed product.

Stabilization

We’ve harnessed the power of healthy human microbiomes. Inspired by FMT—and transformed it into a safe, shelf-stable oral postbiotic supplement.

ThaenaBiotic® brings you innovative support for stress, travel, daily balance, and more, all backed by science and shaped by nature.

Good Sh!t Guarantee
We stand behind every capsule: if ThaenaBiotic® doesn’t deliver the gut support you expect, let us know. We’ll make it right—no questions asked.
