Ingredient sourcing
The ingredient, sourced and documented.
Sometimes the product is fine and the problem is the active. We source bulk ingredients for brands and manufacturers, from standardized extracts and mushrooms to cannabinoids and water compatible emulsions, with paperwork that stands up to a retailer's quality team.
What we source
Six families of ingredients.
Matched to what it is going into. An extract that works in a capsule may fail in a gummy or a drink, and we ask before we quote.
Standardized botanical extracts
Ashwagandha, turmeric, berberine, saffron, rhodiola and hundreds more, to a stated marker compound.
Functional mushrooms
Fruiting body and full spectrum extracts with beta glucan specifications.
Vitamins, minerals and amino acids
Chelated minerals, methylated B vitamins, creatine, electrolytes and amino acids.
Trending actives
Colostrum, NAD+ precursors, spermidine, postbiotics, Akkermansia and the rest of the 2027 list.
Hemp derived cannabinoids
CBD isolate, broad spectrum, CBG, CBN and other minor cannabinoids, with batch certificates.
Water compatible emulsions
Oil soluble actives prepared to disperse evenly in drinks, shots and liquids.
Water compatible emulsions
Oil soluble actives, in a drink, evenly.
Cannabinoids and other oil soluble actives do not dissolve in water. Without a proper emulsion the dose floats to the top of the can and the product fails its potency test. We supply emulsion concentrates for beverages, shots and liquid supplements, to manufacturers and to brands.
What a good emulsion gives you
- A clean certificate of analysis with no residual solvents
- Even dose in every serving, proven by testing finished product
- Mixes with standard tanks and gentle heat, no special homogenizer
- Neutral taste and a stable, clear or uniform finished drink
- Thousands of servings per liter at typical doses
How it works
From a spec to a delivered drum.
The same discipline as manufacturing placement: scope it, match it, prove it with a sample, then order.
Send the spec
The ingredient, the strength or marker, the quantity in kilograms or liters, and what it is going into.
We match a supplier
From suppliers we already know, chosen for documentation and consistency, not just price.
Sample and paperwork
A sample with its certificate of analysis and spec sheet before any order.
Order and delivery
Pricing by the kilogram or liter, a stated minimum, and shipping to you or to your manufacturer.
Questions
Sourcing, answered.
Do you sell ingredients to manufacturers or to brands?
Both. Manufacturers use us to find an active they do not stock. Brands that make in house, or want to supply their own actives to a co-manufacturer, use us the same way.
What is a water compatible emulsion?
A concentrate that lets an oil soluble active, such as a cannabinoid, disperse evenly in water. It is how a drink or shot carries the same dose in every can rather than separating.
What documentation comes with an ingredient?
A certificate of analysis for the lot, a specification sheet and a safety data sheet as standard, plus allergen, organic, kosher or non GMO statements where they apply.
What are the minimums on bulk ingredients?
It depends on the ingredient. Many botanical extracts start at a kilogram or less for samples and around 25 kilograms for orders. Emulsions are sold by the liter.
