About Kingdom Supercultures
Kingdom Supercultures® creates and sells natural functional ingredients that actually work. We call these Superculture® ingredients – a new class of postbiotics made from natural microbes, that we intentionally design to make a quantifiable impact on unmet pet health needs, and to address these needs at their root. Our first Superculture® ingredients for oral health and immune health are available now, with a number of leading pet brands already incorporating them into their end products, and a dozen more planning launches in the next twelve months.
Existing ingredient solutions mask underlying pet health needs, address them only at a surface level, or have associated negative effects. In contrast, Superculture® ingredients target these pet health needs at their root, and do so in a deliberate manner that can be quantitatively validated. This enables our partner pet brands to create end products that significantly outperform existing approaches. Since our Superculture® ingredients are postbiotics, they circumvent the viability challenges of probiotics, by directly delivering the beneficial metabolites and compounds to the desired site of action. This offers enhanced shelf-stability and more consistent performance compared to probiotics.
We manufacture Superculture® ingredients at large commercial scales, and supply them to leading pet brands. They are made from natural microbial strains that fall under existing AAFCO direct fed microbials. Our Superculture® ingredients also have verified stability under challenging temperature, pressure, and moisture constraints, making them compatible with a wide range of product formats including (but not limited to) injection-molded chews, extruded chews, powder toppers, dry kibble, and wet food.
Our Superculture® Pet Oral ingredient is the most clinically-validated oral health postbiotic on the market, with three completed clinical trials. Superculture® Pet Oral delivers unparalleled efficacy, and unlocks new marketing claims, across bad breath, biofilms, and the oral microbiome. It delivers metabolites directly to the mouth to work even under short contact times, and was designed from the ground up specifically to improve oral health in pets.
Our Superculture® Pet Immune ingredient is a clinically-validated immune health postbiotic, with one completed clinical trial for skin health/itching and three more in progress for gut health, metabolic health, and more. Superculture® Pet Immune is the only postbiotic clinically shown to reduce itching, and delivers unparalleled efficacy and unlocks new marketing claims across itching, skin health, and the gut microbiome. It delivers beneficial compounds directly to the gut, and was designed from the ground up specifically to improve immune health in pets.
