one.bio’s work has revealed that Fiber isn’t Fiber, …it’s Fibers. These are diverse nutritional structures delivering longevity, health, increased brain function, peace and clarity.
To begin, the work was to characterize the structures of fibers, thousands of them, from as many plants as we could. That groundbreaking work has produced a growing glycopedia of nearly 3,000 powerful plant carbohydrate structures.
With our groundbreaking glycopedia in hand, we’re bringing resolution and understanding to the essential and complex pharmacy of health and vitality in our gut. We’re helping the global scientific community pair structures with functions.
The word fiber predates the discoveries of our founding scientists, and implies that there is one fiber instead of thousands of diverse structures with diverse functions. Calling fibers fiber is like calling Vitamins A, B12, K3, Iron, and Calcium all nutrients without recognition that they are diverse in structures and functions.
And, in fact, this is how imprecisely and vaguely people understood vitamins and minerals until pioneers like Casimir Funk, Adolf Windaus, Nikolai Lunin, Umetaro Suzuki, Frederick Hopkins, James Lind and others did their work – with understanding exploding in the first half of the 20th century. ​
That first wave of understanding, of how what we eat functions and drives vigor in the human body, was, given the technology of the time, focused on those the vitamins and minerals that interact directly with us people, as opposed to those consumed by the pharmacy of vitality in our gut which then, in turn, produces molecules that interact directly with us.
Having started with nutrition from birth and developed a formula that profoundly
lowered infant mortality, the founding science team started working on how to use their discoveries to fuel everyone’s lives, health and happiness at every age.
one.bio is forging a path in the second wave of scientific understanding of fibers – bringing resolution and understanding to the direct interaction of these novel fibers with the pharmacy in our gut, and a more comprehensive understanding of how to nourish the microbiome we host and depend upon. ​
Fiber structures are not driven by genetic templates and are very hard to measure, thus we’ve not been fully able to unlock their power. One Bio has scaled a unique mass spectrometry capability to build a large and growing database of thousands of natural fiber compositions.

one.bio has built a unique, growing and proprietary database characterizing plant fiber compositions.
one.bio’s work has shown that fiber composition is incredibly diverse, giving us ample opportunity to patent and develop novel, bioactive carbohydrates with specific health benefits. The One Bio database enables us to select plant fiber sources for applications based on chemical structure. While One Bio’s proprietary processes return the most essential nutrients to our plates – we maximize food usability and help end food waste. can stop wasting 70% of what is grown in a food chain that accounts for 30% of civilizations carbon footprint and 70% of the water footprint.
