COMPANY DESCRIPTION

At Vibrant, we are fascinated by human health—one of life’s greatest mysteries.
The impact of environment, the nutrition and supplementation we take or lack, the physical activity we do, our mood, the role of infections, the interplay between the bacteria in our gut and our well-being, our genetics, sleep patterns - all this presents a complex functioning inter-connected organism.
Understanding this inter connectedness is key to help people live longer healthier lives.
Our Vision- LONGEVITY WITH VIBRANT HEALTH.
We are not a traditional biotechnology company, not a software company nor are we an academic institution. We look to combine the best parts of all without the constraints of any.
We are a niche lab that uses our own technology and apply fundamental physics and chemistry to find underlying mechanisms in biology that determine how human health is impacted as we age.
