Novella Strawberry launches a new era of supplement innovation for peak potency, efficacy, and sustainability

MODI'IN, Israel, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Biotech start-up Novella Innovative Technology, Ltd., an innovator in plant-cell-based ingredients, announces the launch of its Novella Strawberry, a patent-pending, new generation of bioactives derived from whole strawberry cells. This natural complex represents the first fruits of Novella's collection of fruit-cell nutraceutical solutions. This powerful ingredient sets a new standard for efficacy, bioavailability, and sustainability. The company will introduce Novella Strawberry at SupplySide West 2025 in Las Vegas, Booth #815.

The AuraCell™ Platform

Leveraging its proprietary AuraCell™ technology, Novella has pioneered the precision cultivation of botanical ingredients, bypassing the need to grow the whole plant. The company cultivates valuable phytonutrients directly from the plant cells in a closed, controlled environment. The result is a pure, powerful bioactive ingredient with guaranteed consistency and zero waste, while slashing resource use by 99%, including water, land and labor.

Minimum dose, maximum impact

Unlike standard strawberry extracts that isolate a limited subset of compounds, Novella Strawberry is a whole-cell matrix that captures and preserves the full complexity of the fruit. This matrix delivers natural synergy and maximum performance in a reproducible format.

"We collect the high value nutrients from the strawberry at the peak of its power, grow them in a clean environment without pesticides, then amplify them," explains Shimrit Bar-El, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer for Novella. "The result is a potent compound that can easily be absorbed in the body."

The innovative ingredient delivers an antioxidant punch up to 100 times stronger than conventional strawberry extracts, as demonstrated in human-cell assays conducted by Novella via measuring ROS inhibition. Novella Strawberry maintains the naturally occurring strawberry cell composition. This exceptional potency enables the use of significantly lower concentrations.

The strawberry challenge

In addition to their strong antioxidant power, strawberries contain a broad spectrum of bioactive compounds, including not only the well-known anthocyanins but also ellagic acid, phenolic acids, terpenoids, and alkaloids. While conventional products focus mainly on the anthocyanin group, the strawberry's much wider array of naturally occurring compounds remains underutilized. However, its unique richness has spurred a renewed growth of strawberries and other berries within the nutraceutical market, with rising demand in categories such as metabolism, weight management, beauty-from-within, and healthy ageing.

Despite its high wellness value and strong consumer interest, the integration of strawberry ingredients into supplements remains challenging. The poor stability of their bioactives makes it difficult to guarantee consistent and standardized dosing, while common industrial processing methods lead to significant nutrient loss.

Strawberries are highly climate sensitive. Their beneficial compounds degrade rapidly when exposed to heat, light, oxygen, and time. Moreover, agricultural production requires heavy irrigation and delivers variable yields of both fruit and its concentrated actives.

These limitations restrict strawberry extracts to complementary roles in supplements, driving shortages, low extraction yields, and higher costs. Novella's proprietary AuraCell™ technology directly addresses these challenges by cultivating intact strawberry cells in controlled environments free from seasonal constraints. It also unlocks broader applications across the nutraceutical and functional food industries.

"Our solution will significantly relieve the bottleneck in the nutraceutical industry's growing demand for strawberry-sourced nutrients while leaving field grown strawberries to be enjoyed as refreshing natural treats" informs Itay Dana, Co-Founder and Chief Business Development Officer for Novella.

Natural synergy

"Our AuraCell™ platform doesn't extract and doesn't need solvents" says Dana . "We preserve nature's full intelligence and deliver it intact. Novella Strawberry answers the consumer demand for performance and sustainability by delivering a holistic ingredient that is pure, potent, and generates zero waste."

The benefits of anthocyanins, the antioxidant flavonoid compounds commonly used in berry-based products, are typically acquired via digestion, microbial breakdown, and the variable gut environments. This leads to low, inconsistent bioavailability. Novella Strawberry delivers these phytochemicals and other fast-acting bioactives directly within plant cells. Novella' bioreactor-cultivated bioactives remain in their native cellular environment, acting as a form of natural microencapsulation. This shields sensitive compounds from oxidative stress and degradation within a formulation. It also preserves full-spectrum bioavailability and bioactivity while enabling them to work in synergy with other actives, enhancing their performance.

"Novella Strawberry is exactly what the next wave of dietary supplements needs," professes Dana. "It performs powerfully on its own, but its real potential is in enhancing other products—amplifying results while reducing required daily dose. It's a perfect marriage of science and strategy, with remarkable commercial potential."

With the growing demand for clean-label, high-performance, low-dose supplementation, Novella Strawberry empowers formulators and brands to enhance the value, and efficacy of their existing products, offering more to consumers without increasing complexity or cost. It is water-dispersible powder, making it ideal for powders, capsules, bars or beverages.

Novella recently announced its collaboration with Metaphor Foods in Australia for the inclusion of Novella products in Metaphor's line of preservatives. This showcases its robust antioxidant performance and impact beyond nutraceuticals into additional food categories.

Novella Strawberry will officially debut at SupplySide West 2025 in Las Vegas, Booth #815, in the new exhibitor zone where Novella will showcase its fruit-cell complexes and illustrate how its AuraCell™ platform is transforming the future of supplementation and wellness.
