Protein Postbiotic Ingredients

Startup Superbrewed Food Has Launched Thryvia for Gut Health

Delaware-based startup Superbrewed Food launched Thryvia, a probiotic ingredient made from the same protein-rich bacterium behind the company's SB1 protein product. It is designed for much lower inclusion rates, around 200 mg per serving. Unlike probiotics that require live microbes and refrigeration, Thryvia uses a heat-killed, non-viable Clostridium tyrobutyricum strain that remains shelf-stable at room temperature, giving brands formulation flexibility across capsules, powders, gummies, bars and even UHT-processed beverages.

As functional food brands increasingly look beyond macronutrients toward broader wellness benefits, Superbrewed is now pursuing randomized, placebo-controlled human trials to substantiate specific structure-function claims, building on the same clinical rigor applied to its SB1 protein line.

Thryvia shows how biomass fermentation technology can be reformulated into a low-dose ingredient addressing an entirely different customer need than its original protein-focused platform.
