- ZIVO Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: ZIVO) develops and commercializes nutritional compounds and bioactive molecules derived from proprietary algal strains for applications in human and animal health; the Michigan-based biotechnology company, founded in 1983 and headquartered at 2125 Butterfield Drive, Suite 100, Troy, MI, licenses its intellectual property including algae cultures, extracts, derivatives, and production techniques to manufacturers of dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, food ingredients, animal feeds, and pharmaceuticals. Core products target human dietary supplements and nutraceuticals such as ZIVOLife vegan protein powder, a shelf-stable dried green algae biomass rich in essential amino acids, beta glucans, fiber, polyphenols, iron, potassium, and vitamins A, E, and B12 that supports digestive health, gut health, and immune function; animal health solutions including feed ingredients for dairy cows to promote immune response against bovine mastitis, poultry formulations to enhance productivity, digestive efficiency, and resistance to coccidiosis, avian influenza, and other viral diseases; and early-stage developments for canine joint health, human immune modulation, skin health, anti-aging algal biomass, and pharmaceutical uses. The company operates in the biotech and agtech sectors, serving global customers with a pre-revenue focus on non-GMO, antibiotic-free, sustainable proteins and immune-modulating biologics that complement vaccines by reducing immunization lag time, protecting during vulnerable periods, enhancing responses, and mitigating immunosuppression. Recent developments include a June 2025 collaboration with a leading global animal health company for fully funded studies on ZIVO's compounds in poultry against coccidiosis and viral diseases to support USDA regulatory approval and commercialization; a late 2024 partnership with Alimenta Algae in Peru to scale production of ZIVOLife and with ZWorldwide for exclusive North American distribution, committing to purchase initial 18-month supply following strong sales; ongoing licensing negotiations for coccidiosis treatments expected to advance to formal agreements in early 2025; and an uplisting to the OTCQB market to improve trading visibility.
