CuraVive produces animal-free functional proteins, starting with LysoSure, an egg-free lysozyme currently in commercial production for food, beverage, cosmetics, and animal nutrition applications. The company uses precision fermentation to rebuild nature's proteins with defined, consistent performance and scalable U.S.-based manufacturing, with lactoferrin (LactoSure) in development as its next product.

Problem
Conventional functional proteins like lysozyme and lactoferrin are derived from animal sources such as egg whites and milk, creating supply chain vulnerabilities tied to commodity price swings, allergen concerns, and inconsistent quality between batches. Food, beverage, cosmetic, and animal nutrition manufacturers need reliable, allergen-free alternatives that deliver the same functional performance without these drawbacks.
Solution
CuraVive rebuilds functional proteins found in nature using animal-free fermentation, producing ingredients with defined, guaranteed performance that is consistent from lot to lot. The company's first product, LysoSure, is an egg-free lysozyme already in commercial production, offering an antimicrobial enzyme with a substantiated allergen-free profile via ELISA testing. CuraVive manufactures entirely in the United States, ensuring scalable supply made to specification rather than subject to global commodity fluctuations. The platform is also developing LactoSure, an animal-free lactoferrin for nutrition and functional formulation, with additional proteins in the pipeline for co-development and early access partnerships.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers in the food, beverage, cosmetics, and animal nutrition industries seeking reliable, allergen-free functional protein ingredients with consistent quality and scalable supply.
