Alethios powers research on how functional foods and nutritional products perform in everyday life and generate the evidence needed to compete in a fast-moving category.
Launch and run studies efficiently with Study Planner and Study Operator. Get reliable early evidence for new functional foods, formulations, and product concepts at a price that works for your budget.
Evaluate your product in the routines and environment where it will end up. Decentralized trials capture real-world consumption, product experience, and outcomes beyond a clinic setting.
Research on isolated ingredients may not predict how a finished product will perform. Evaluate your specific formulation, serving size, and delivery methods using at-home data and biomarker collection for produce specific evidence.
Pair self-reported outcomes—mood, digestion, energy, and more—with relevant objective data and biomarker data. Build a more complete evidence base so your claims hold up as more than just marketing tools.
— Alethios in action
"Today's food world is full of empty promises. We strongly believe clinical-based evidence doesn't only build trust with consumers—it builds trust with investors as well. Data strengthens credibility, and credibility strengthens long-term growth.
Alethios was there all the way helping us navigate—from the regulatory framework of running a clinical study to their critical thinking and practical advice on how to design a study that fit the stage we are at. That balance between rigor and flexibility was key for us."

Generic or location-specific recruitment pools may not match your functional food's target consumer. The Alethiad Participant Community connects you with a nationwide network of diverse, engaged participants who match your study goals.
Committing your full research budget to a single trial is risky. Alethios supports a staged approach—start with a focused, signal-seeking pilot first, then use what you learn to design a larger, more targeted study.
Traditional clinical infrastructure can be difficult for functional food brands to access and navigate. Alethios' Study Planner and Study Operator streamline decentralized studies without costly systems or a clinical research platform built from scratch.
Collect data using our library of validated questionnaires or photos, videos, audio files, and text responses for study results or to ensure compliance with study protocol.
Use wearables and sensors integrated into the Alethios platform to collect data on sleep quality, activity levels and types, heart rate variability, body composition, blood glucose levels and more.
Evaluate metabolic health, skin health, gut health, inflammation, vitamin,, and hormone levels using integrated at-home test kits—or bring your own kit and lab for decentralized biomarker collection.
Design protocols, implement instruments and data collection tools, and configure consent flows in one workspace.
Draw from a nationwide community of thousands of engaged participants in the Alethiad Participant Community.
Track enrollment and onboarding, participant adherence, and responses in real time.
Gather structured, analysis-ready data you can see as it comes in.

— Early Stage Program
For those early in their journey when access, not ambition is the limiting factor. The Early-Stage Program provides reduced-cost access to the Alethios research platform and its full suite of support features.
Explore the programEspecially those advancing research for:
Chronically underfunded or under-researched areas
Conditions or populations historically excluded from traditional health research
Areas where early human evidence generation has been prohibitively expensive, logistically complex, or otherwise out of reach
Scale your research affordably with volume discounts for multiple studies and participants. Reduce costs and maximize impact with pricing built for large-scale work.
