## About

Based in South Carolina, US, and founded by Douglas Giampapa (CEO) in 2015, Life Science Institute LLC, doing business as Healthycell, operates as a health food and nutritional supplement company offering dietary supplements based on advanced food science. In September 2021, the firm raised USD 1.62 million in series A funding led by investor KEEN Growth Capital, with participation from investor Balanced Breakfast.

The company offers ingestible gel dietary supplements based on MICROGEL™ technology (patent-pending as of October 2022) to offer maximum bioavailability to enable consumers to absorb nutrients into their bloodstream and then into cells and hence improve health. The technology allows maximum absorption by releasing extremely small, soluble, ultra-bioavailable nutrient particles in the digestive tract. The company’s products are vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and non-GMO compliant, free of synthetic binding glues, fillers, coatings, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, etc., and made in the US.

The firm generates its revenue by selling its microgel products like AM PM healthspan system from, REM sleep, AC 11 extract, and Bioactive multi, through its e-commerce platform at different price range from USD 29 to USD 153.

The firm intends to use its September 2021, funding to accelerate the customer acquisition, expand into brick-and-mortar retail, build out its consumer test kit offering, and complete its IRB-approved clinical studies.
