About Fortivion Labs
Hi, we are Sergei Belyakov and Maria Antipina, the founders of Fortivion Labs
We are happy to welcome you to our company!
How It All Began
We founded Fortivion Labs in 2025 to translate combined six decades of scientific research into implementable health solutions for our customers.
Alongside complementary knowledge and expertise, we share a passion for targeted delivery of biologically active molecules aiming to improve the efficacy of medicinal drugs or health supplements.
In line with this, the foundation of our company is the development of advanced health supplements powered by Dual Vector™ – a unique delivery system developed at Fortivion Labs that combines a nature-identical (biomimetic) mechanism for transporting bioactives to cellular targets with high efficacy and biological safety.

Our Systemic Approach
Since we both don’t believe in a "silver bullet" or quick fixes when it comes to health, we realized very soon after the successful development of Dual Vector™ that to make a real difference for the individuals, we needed to adopt a broader approach.
Although our targeted health supplements were powerful in addressing identified health concerns, they could do even a better job if they were part of a broader strategy.
And this is how metabolic science-informed precision nutrition came into the picture and later did clinical hypnotherapy to support mind-body processes that interact and influence one another in every human being.
From Standalone Tools to a Tailored Ecosystem
Applied together, our tools form a personalized strategy to strengthen the key foundations of health – nutrition, sleep and recovery, and emotional well-being, helping our clients to overcome the physical and emotional tolls of high-demand lives.
At Fortivion Labs, they gain access to a tailored ecosystem of science-based approaches to better health that adapt to their life changes.
Leadership
Sergei Belyakov, PhD
Co-Founder & Managing Director
Sergei Belyakov is a pharmaceutical scientist, medicinal chemist, and entrepreneur with extensive R&D and executive experience in the United States and Singapore. He has led research programs in neuroscience, oncology, and metabolic disorders, with a specialized focus on oral bioavailability and formulation science.
Why do people respond so differently to stress and recovery? Why do promising bioactives fail during digestion and absorption?
Sergei began seeking answers following his service in the 1986 Chernobyl disaster cleanup, where he observed drastic variations in individual physical recovery. Across years in pharmaceutical research and leadership, he routinely encountered a core bottleneck: many potent bioactives fail not from weak biological activity, but from instability, poor bioavailability, and formulation constraints.
At Fortivion Labs, Sergei oversees business strategy, operations, commercialization, and R&D for Dual Vector™ technology and formulation design. He leads the Precision Supplement Strategy, evaluating clients' existing supplement stacks to remove unnecessary, duplicated, or poorly formulated ingredients. His core guiding principle:
“Every supplement must earn its place.”
Beyond work, an avid athlete for over four decades, Sergei has played basketball at all levels on four continents and currently coaches teams in Singapore.
He is also a published science fiction author and a passionate cook, whose motto is:
If you are a good chemist, you cannot be a bad chef.

Maria Antipina is a biophysicist by training and a materials scientist. She spent over two decades in research, first at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Germany, and then at A*STAR in Singapore. Her research focused on developing delivery systems for bioactives to improve efficacy.
After completing certification in Nutrition Science at Stanford, she recognized that scientific knowledge in nutrition and health-related disciplines does not make a difference for individuals without proper implementation. Qualifying as a nutrition coach and clinical hypnotherapist, she bridged the gap between science and behavioral change as well as between physical and emotional aspects of human health.
At Fortivion Labs, Maria leads scientific research and formulation design, anchoring proprietary delivery technologies in rigorous evidence. As a certified Precision Nutrition Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist, she works directly with clients to translate complex biological science into sustainable habits around sleep, stress, nutrition, and eating behavior.
