Gelesis is a consumer-centered biotherapeutics company advancing a novel category of treatments for weight management and gut-related chronic diseases. Their non-systemic, superabsorbent hydrogels are the first and only made entirely from naturally derived building blocks and are inspired by the composition (i.e., water and cellulose) and mechanical properties (e.g., elasticity or firmness) of raw vegetables.
They are conveniently administered in capsules to create a much larger volume of small, non-aggregating hydrogel pieces that become an integrated part of meals and act locally in the digestive system. The portfolio includes PLENITY®, an FDA-cleared product to aid in weight management, as well as potential therapies in development for Type 2 Diabetes, Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)/Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), and Functional Constipation.
