About Zya

We use the power of enzymes to transform how our bodies use food.

By adding micro quantities of naturally-derived enzymes to foods, we can retain preferred taste profiles while improving nutritional outcomes. The first product we are developing is called Convero – an enzyme that converts sugar to fiber after eating.
