Imagilin Technology

What Imagilin Technology does

Imagilin Technology, LLC is a Frederick, Maryland-based biotechnology company founded in 2003 that develops and commercializes proprietary plant-based probiotic nutraceuticals for human and animal health. Structured as a privately held LLC with 1-10 employees, the company operates across the United States, Canada, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand through a combination of direct-to-consumer e-commerce, Amazon, retail, veterinary, and distributor channels. The company holds 8 issued patents and a Health Canada Natural Product Number (NPN 80095739) for its core ingredient.

The company's core technology is PA5051®, a patented strain of Pediococcus acidilactici (NRRL B-50517) isolated from plants using conventional microbial assays. Imagilin claims differentiating stability properties for this strain — heat resistance up to 185°F, stomach acid survival at pH 1.5, oxygen tolerance, and compatibility with antibiotic treatments — that together enable a 2-year room-temperature shelf life without refrigeration. The product portfolio is broad: NutriLots and Nutri-5051 for human digestive and immune health (capsule, veggie, cranberry, replenish, and freeze-dried snack formats), MitoMax for companion animals (dogs and cats) in digestive, joint, urinary, electrolyte, jerky treat, and freeze-dried treat variants, MitoHorse for equines, and niche products for birds, fish, swine, small mammals, and reptiles (MITOCRITTER, MITOREPTO). Several products also incorporate Saccharomyces boulardii as a complementary yeast probiotic.

Imagilin generates revenue through one-time sales of finished branded products and bulk sales of PA5051 / Nutri-5051 / Mito-5051 ingredient powder to other companies for use in food and pet food applications (OEM/white-label channel). Distribution combines direct e-commerce on the company's own storefront, Amazon Marketplace, physical retail (The Common Market), veterinary clinics, and named international distributors (Apex Ingredients in Canada, Health Vision-Kyoritsu Seiyaku in Japan, An Jiashang in China, Evergrow Health Supplies in Hong Kong, Hong Chi Pet Products in Taiwan, and DKSH Limited in Thailand). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a quote-based B2B and standard B2C retail basis. The company is actively recruiting additional qualified distributors in Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and additional Asian markets.
