Expora is creating an entirely new product category that could change how we prevent and treat disease
For decades, probiotics have promised health benefits—but their delivery has been frustratingly inconsistent. Now, Expora is cracking the code on what makes probiotics actually work, with potentially transformative implications.
Expora has discovered that the real power of probiotics isn't the live bacteria themselves—it's the tiny particles they naturally produce called bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs). These nanosized packages deliver multiple bioactive compounds directly to human tissues, but until now, there's been no way to reliably manufacture BEVs at scale.
Expora has developed breakthrough patent-pending technology that enables, for the first time, the scalable manufacturing of purified BEVs. nstead of relying on unpredictable live bacteria that may or may not survive digestion and deliver benefits, Expora's approach allows precise, consistent dosing of the active ingredients that actually drive health outcomes.
The result? An entirely new category of products spanning consumer wellness, scientific research, and therapeutic applications—all built on a platform that could redefine how we approach human health and disease prevention.
Born from cutting-edge research at the University of Maryland, College Park, Expora represents the next evolution of the probiotic revolution—one that finally delivers on the promise of precise, predictable, and powerful health benefits.

Our Vision
Our Vision
The gut microbiome controls immunity, brain function, and metabolism, driving an ~$8B probiotics market and emergin pharma applications.
Beneficial bacteria ("probiotics") generate BEVs—nanoscale vesicles that survive the GI tract and deliver potent bioactive cargo directly to gut tissues. But probiotics often underdeliver because they rely on live bacteria surviving manufacturing and storage and producing enough BEVs in vivo, with added safety risks in vulnerable patients.
The field needs a predictable, precise BEV dose at reasonable cost and quality. Until now, BEVs have been too costly and inconsistent to manufacture at scale—Expora’s patent-pending platform changes that by establishing the an industrial GMP process for BEV manufacturing and design.
