TurtleTree is a biotech company dedicated to producing a new generation of nutrition—one that’s better for the planet, better for the animals, and better for people everywhere. Utilizing its proprietary, cell-based technology, the company is creating better-for-you milk ingredients sustainably and affordably, with benefits that extend beyond the dining table and into the heart of humanity.

Lactoferrin is a bioactive milk protein that nutritionally enhances not only plant-based foods but every single food product. This process enables animals to live carefree, happier lives.

In the long term, TurtleTree will deliver on its ambitious plan to bring cell-based milk to the world.
