Invest in Bala Enzyme

Bala Enzyme is the first doctor-formulated drink mix that combats both inflammation and dehydration using zero sugar and no artificial ingredients. 

And the company is already making waves - with 2,000,000 packets sold, 100,000+ satisfied customers, $1.5M in cumulative sales, and an Amazon business growing rapidly at 69% year-over-year, Bala Enzyme is making a dent in the functional hydration market.

By combining the natural and potent anti-inflammatory properties of certain plant enzymes, they’ve created a proprietary formula (EnzymX Recovery Accelerator® - patent pending) that is deeply rooted in science with demonstrated results for providing relief and recovery. 

Founded by two doctors who have committed their careers to helping others heal, and backed by a team of CPG experts with multiple successful exits, Bala is uniquely positioned to disrupt the $180B functional hydration market.

From our Founder & President, Dr. Farnoush Fadavi

I never imagined my career would change in an instant. During a routine procedure, I tripped on a cord and fell — shattering my shoulder, fracturing my hip, and bringing my life as a dental surgeon to a sudden stop.

Recovery was brutal. Six hours of surgery and months of inflammation, yet I couldn’t take traditional painkillers due to a lifelong sensitivity to medication. Even simple movements felt monumental.

But in that darkness came a turning point. Years earlier, Arash and I had researched plant-based enzymes and seen their healing power in thousands of our dental patients. Now, those same enzymes became essential to my own recovery — when nothing else worked, they did.

That experience changed me. I wasn’t just a doctor treating pain — I had lived it. And it inspired us to create Bala Enzyme — not just for those facing post-surgery recovery, but for anyone facing inflammation, stress, or fatigue.

Bala is more than a wellness drink — it’s a natural, science-backed way to move better, feel better, and live fully.

Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, or simply someone who wants to feel good in their body, Bala helps you show up as your best self — every single day.

Whether we’re rushing between meetings, caring for family members, or just trying to keep up with life’s daily demands, proper hydration is too often neglected, but the consequences of being dehydrated go far beyond just feeling thirsty.

Negative aspects of modern life; stress, inactivity, and processed foods and drinks, are fueling this trend, causing millions of Americans to experience the debilitating effects that come with chronic inflammation and dehydration.

We created Bala to solve a problem we saw every day at our dental clinic - people struggling with chronic inflammation and dehydration, and reaching for quick fixes that only masked the symptoms. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and enzyme research, we developed a solution that combats both inflammation and dehydration at the same time. Powered by plant-based ingredients like bromelain, papain, curcumin, amino acids, and electrolytes — Bala helps people recover faster, move better, and feel their best, naturally.

What makes Bala unique is how it simultaneously addresses inflammation and dehydration – no other product in the market does this. The taste is refreshing and clean, with no artificial aftertaste, thanks to our doctor-formulated drink mix.

This uniqueness is captured in our patent-pending EnzymX Recovery Accelerator® – a proprietary formula that combines potent plant-based enzymes with essential electrolytes and amino acids for rapid and effective results.

Subscribers stay with us for much longer than other products in our category - a testament to our formula and great taste!

Before founding Bala Enzyme, we built and sold one of Southern California’s leading dental surgery practices, treating more than 40,000 patients. We honed our expertise in natural recovery through clinical research on plant-based enzymes and their healing properties. Today, we're leveraging our medical research, clinical experience, and entrepreneurial expertise in creating Bala Enzyme. Our leadership team is complemented by some of the top minds in foods and beverages with investors, advisors, and board members bringing crucial insights from companies like Poppi, Coca-Cola, Vitamin Water, and Vita Coco.

Consumers are connecting the dots on how modern life is negatively impacting their health: That awareness is driving demand for products aimed at reducing inflammation and dehydration, which is why we’re sitting at the intersection of three massive rapidly growing markets.

We’ve sold our products to 100,000+ happy customers, generated $1.5M in cumulative sales, and today our products can be found in retailers across the country. 

We’re especially proud of what we’ve been able to achieve online, as our average customer acquisition cost (CAC) is incredibly low compared to our lifetime customer value (LTV), reflecting that subscribers are with us for a long time.

Online sales accounted for 70% of revenue in 2024. This is also our most profitable channel with sales on Amazon growing quickly, up 69% over the past year.

We’re hyper-focused on growing subscriptions and returning customers, driven by our digital store which simplifies reordering and builds customer loyalty. Today 35% of our online orders are from repeat customers and 45% of our revenue comes via subscriptions.

While the digital channel is growing, expanding retail is critical. Physical shelf-space lets us showcase our products and build brand equity - greatly complementing our online strategy.

And our channel expansion strategy is well underway: We're already in 2,000 natural grocery retailers, and we're at a critical inflection point: major conventional grocery chains like Kroger, Publix, Target, and Whole Foods Market are reviewing Bala for nationwide placement.

But our vision goes beyond natural grocery retailers - targeting the massive club channel with retailers like Costco and the extensive drug channel with chains like CVS, which alone has over 9,000 stores nationwide. If we’re able to land just a couple of these retailers, it’ll be game-changing in terms of revenue acceleration.

Higher volumes will drive more efficient economies of scale – lower production costs, reduced shipping expenses, and decreased overhead – which we expect will increase our gross margin from 59% to 71% by 2029.

Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.

We expect retail to eventually constitute a majority of our revenue. Part of our sales will be fueled by new product launches and we’ve got a number of exciting releases in the pipeline.

We have several new innovations in the pipeline, including new product formats such as capsules and gummies to complement our existing portfolio. Even more exciting, we've developed new enzyme formulations targeting immune support and brain health – high-growth markets with substantial consumer demand and currently limited competition. These extensions leverage our scientific expertise while expanding our reach into complementary wellness categories.

The functional beverage acquisition market is HOT - but it won't stay that way. Major beverage giants like PepsiCo and Unilever are aggressively acquiring innovative brands, with Poppi commanding $1.95B and Liquid I.V. $500M. These companies are strategically filling limited category slots in their portfolios. The time to act is NOW.

Your investment helps accelerate our expansion - by scaling our retail footprint, launching our immunity line, and expanding online sales, you're securing a position in what could be the next major functional beverage acquisition.

Bala sits at the powerful intersection of science-backed wellness and real human needs. Our patent-pending formula, passionate customer base, and expanding retail presence have positioned us for extraordinary growth.

This is your chance to be part of a true wellness revolution - a movement that's changing how people recover, rehydrate, and thrive every day.
