Open Letter
My name is Wesley Cooke and I am the founder of Nutrition Lab Sciences.
I am writing this letter to outline a vision for a healthier, more resilient humanity which I believe is possible and within our reach based on an unparalleled breakthrough in human nutrition that we have achieved and are now pioneering to urgently bring to the global market.
We stand at a pivotal moment in history. Our global food and health systems are broken. The very things that should sustain, nourish and heal us—our food and environment have been compromised, leaving us vulnerable to nutrient deficiencies, chronic disease, and environmental threats.
A global awakening is unfolding as we recognise a crisis in our collective health. Nearly everyone knows someone who is chronically ill—often within their own family. Over recent decades, chronic illness has been normalised while the health system profits trillions, yet we grow sicker each year. In addition, our individual health impacts future generations in our family in ways we are just starting to understand. People are beginning to ask the right questions and seek real answers from the governments and industries that have a duty to serve and protect us. It is vital that we change the outcome of this story and reverse these global trends.
Food System
Our food system, once a source of life, is now riddled with issues. The soil, depleted of nutrients, yields crops that are mere shadows of the foods our ancestors relied on. The rise of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), combined with the widespread use of herbicides and pesticides, has introduced foreign substances into our food supply, compromising the quality and integrity of the nutrients within. What’s worse, as our food has become less nourishing, the burden on our health has only grown.
- Nearly 33% of the world’s soil is degraded due to unsustainable
farming practices. - More than 70% of processed foods contain genetically modified
organisms (GMOs). - Hundreds of millions of tons of herbicides, pesticides and
fertilisers are applied annually, contaminating our soil, air, and water.
Health System
Our health system, too, is in crisis. Chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are at record highs. Antibiotics, although sometimes vital in modern medicine, are now overprescribed, leading to resistant strains of bacteria and weakened immune systems. Environmental toxins infiltrate our air, water, and even the spaces we occupy, contributing to an unseen toll on our bodies. We are surrounded by chemicals and pollutants that strip away our vitality, creating a perfect storm of declining health and loss of resilience.
- Globally, $1.4 trillion is spent annually on pharmaceutical medications.
- Each year, over 1.6 billion Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) are lost to chronic conditions or Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
- According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 74% of all deaths result from chronic conditions or Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) accounting for over 41 million lives lost every year.
The Loss of our Natural Ability to Digest Nutrients
Decades of poor dietary practices and environmental degradation have led to a significant loss of critical enzymes in the human gut, limiting our ability to properly digest plant-based foods. This degradation not only robs us of essential nutrients and critically important phytochemicals but also hampers our body’s natural processes. Restoring these functions isn’t just about eating better—it’s about realigning with nature’s intended balance allowing us to
thrive again.
The Foundation of Good Health
Nutrition is essential for all biological processes, not only those linked to growth, development, and energy intake but also those vital to overall health. Functions such as immune response, cellular repair, mental health, brain and body development, hormone regulation, and general metabolism all rely on a steady supply of essential nutrients, minerals, and vitamins. Proper nutrition is fundamental for maintaining homeostasis, which is the cornerstone of good health.
The lack of access to adequate nutrition results in undernutrition, overnutrition, hunger, and nutrient deficiencies. These issues fuel the rise of infectious diseases and chronic health conditions, driven by a shortage of essential nutrients and the presence of harmful contaminants. Furthermore, limited nutrient bioavailability poses an additional, often hidden challenge: while food labels indicate nutrient content, only a small portion is absorbed by the body, with much going to waste as they are not truly bioavailable.
In addition, true health cannot be achieved through the prescription of pharmaceutical drugs, which largely serve to mask symptoms and silence the body’s warning signals while also creating further downstream issues. Our bodies are inherently designed to work with nature to restore health. Naturally, the body alone possesses the innate power to heal — and its capacity to do so is remarkable when given the right building blocks for life.
Nutrition Lab’s Biocatalytic Breakthrough
We have developed an innovative and proprietary multi-state biocatalytic process that enhances the nutrient absorption of plant-based foods, making essential vitamins, minerals, and bioactives more bioavailable and accessible to the human body through bioactuation. Our Chief Scientist, Dr. Gustavo Bracho, has worked tirelessly to develop a process that is completely natural, efficient, and scalable—one that allows us to move more nutrients and compounds from the insoluble matrix to the soluble matrix, thereby increasing bioavailability. We are working with leading global companies for our raw materials and have used gold-standard third-party testing facilities to validate our results.
Our process is an unparalleled breakthrough in human nutrition and has allowed us to unlock, for the first time, the full potential of one of nature’s most nutrient-dense plants—to change global health for good.
Essentbio - Unlocking the Miracle of Nature
I would like to present Essentbio, a bio-enhanced supplement program we have designed based on 100% sustainably and organically sourced Moringa oleifera and powered by our breakthrough proprietary multi-state biocatalytic process. Native to the Himalayan regions of India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan—and now grown globally—Moringa oleifera is often called the “miracle tree” for its exceptional ability to thrive in diverse conditions and provide high-value biomass with an impressive nutrient profile. With minimal soil and environmental requirements, this versatile tree has immense potential to restore human health on a global scale.
The Moringa tree’s nutrient-rich leaves contain an unparalleled concentration of vitamins, minerals, protein, and fibre, positioning it as one of the most nutrient-dense plants on earth. The tree's leaves also harbour over 200 bioactive compounds with documented benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, glucose and blood pressure regulation, cardiovascular support, cholesterol reduction, detoxification, stress relief, antibacterial, and immunomodulatory effects.
However, much of this potential remains locked within the plant’s insoluble matrix, limiting nutrient absorption—particularly in the context of reduced digestive enzyme capacity in the modern human gut.
This challenge is where our multi-state biocatalytic process provides the solution.
