Conarium Bioworks partners with Gnosis by Lesaffre to produce Bio-Melatonin at scale

The partnership combines Conarium’s technology for producing high-value bio-identical molecules with Gnosis’s deep expertise in industrial-scale fermentation

ELLICOTT CITY, MD, UNITED STATES, October 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Conarium Bioworks Inc., a biotech venture developing ”human identical” hormones and bioactives using sustainable precision fermentation, today announced a partnership with Gnosis by Lesaffre, a global leader in fermentation and biotechnology solutions for health and nutrition, to manufacture bio-melatonin at scale.

The partnership combines Conarium’s proprietary technology for producing high-value bio-identical molecules with Gnosis’s deep expertise in industrial-scale fermentation. Together, the companies will enable a natural and sustainable alternative to the synthetic melatonin that is currently used in sleep, wellness, and nutraceutical products.

“Partnering with Gnosis allows us to scale production and bring our natural melatonin products to market faster.” Consumers are increasingly seeking natural alternatives that are both effective and environmentally responsible. Together we can meet the market demand for high-quality, natural melatonin while setting new standards for sustainability in sleep and wellness ingredient manufacturing.” said Steen Nissen, CEO of Conarium.

“Our collaboration with Conarium reflects Gnosis’s commitment to advancing biotechnology products that promotes health and sustainability,” “Bio-melatonin aligns perfectly with our mission to harness the power of microorganisms to create natural solutions that improve human well-being.” said Ulrich Irgens, Gnosis General Manager.

Bio-melatonin is produced via precision fermentation, a process that uses natural microbes to convert renewable biomass into molecules identical to those found in the human brain. This eliminates reliance on petrochemical synthesis, enables shorter and more stable supply chains, and offers a clean-label, sustainable solution for global nutraceutical and wellness markets as well as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and animal health.

The collaboration will focus on production at scale, and the first full scale commercial batch will be ready soon.
