Our Lutein Oil soluble range (5%, 10%, 20%) is designed for maximum efficacy in Eye Health and Cognitive Health products. The oil is oxidation-optimised via nitrogen flushing and controlled peroxide values to ensure the long-term stability of the xanthophyll molecules. Features a (PSD) of less than 30 microns, which facilitates uniform blending and high absorption in soft gel matrices. Available in high concentrations (up to 20%) to enable lower softgel fill weights, which suits manufacturing efficiency and consumer compliance.

This specific ratio is designed to meet clinical recommendations for macular health, providing a synergistic effect between the two carotenoids. Our beadlets offer a world-class tableting recovery of 95–98% assay post-compression, ensuring the final tablet matches label claims accurately. Engineered for cold-water dispersibility, making them a vital ingredient for fortified beverages and gummy formulations. We use only food-grade encapsulants, such as Modified Starch and Gum Acacia, ensuring a clean-label profile for premium brands.

Our ME powder achieves superior encapsulation efficiency with ultra-low surface oil (<1%). This results in significantly improved stability, caking resistance, and color uniformity. Additionally, it offers improved dispersibility and high bulk density for logistics savings.

Our world-class plant infrastructure and standards are on par with global leaders like DSM and BASF. Our beadlets offer comparable stability to DSM grades but at a better commercial efficiency. We provide three specific specs—Standard, High Stability, and High Flowability - using food-grade encapsulants like Gum Acacia and Tocopherols.

Our Beadlet technologies are designed to perform on par with global industry leaders, offering comparable stability to DSM-grade beadlets while delivering superior commercial efficiency and supply flexibility. We provide three tailored specifications—Standard, High Stability, and High Flowability—to meet diverse formulation and processing needs. A key differentiator is our higher tableting recovery rate of 95–98% assay post-compression, ensuring minimal potency loss, reduced overages, and improved manufacturing consistency, which is especially valued by multinational companies. Our beadlets also feature excellent cold-water dispersibility, making them particularly suitable for colour applications, along with controlled particle size and customisable coating thickness to optimise stability, flow, and blend uniformity. Additionally, we use food-grade encapsulants, including modified starch, gum acacia, maltodextrin, and tocopherols, to enhance oxidative stability, dispersibility, regulatory compliance, and overall product performance across nutraceutical, food, and supplement applications.

Our Oil Suspensions are developed with a strong focus on oxidative stability and processing efficiency. They are oxidation-optimized with controlled peroxide values and manufactured using nitrogen flushing to further enhance product stability. With controlled particle size below 30 microns, they ensure uniformity and smooth processing in softgel and liquid formulations. We offer concentrations of 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30%, along with customized higher concentrations when required. Higher concentration options allow for lower softgel fill weight, improving production economics and offering greater formulation flexibility for large-scale manufacturing.

Our Micro-Encapsulated Powders are designed for superior encapsulation efficiency and enhanced stability during large-scale production. They contain less than 1% surface oil, which significantly improves oxidative stability, reduces caking, and ensures consistent color uniformity. The powders provide improved dispersibility and controlled particle size distribution, allowing better flow properties and uniform blending in bulk processing. Additionally, their high bulk density supports logistics optimization and storage efficiency, making them highly suitable for global food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing operations.

Unlike large players, we offer deep customisation, including tailored particle sizes, specific oil bases, Higher OR concentration and specific excipient requests. Our lead times are significantly lower at 4-6 weeks, compared to the 10-14 week standard of global suppliers. We offer flexible pricing models, including tier pricing, annual contract pricing, and campaign-based pricing.

How do you support the regulatory and analytical needs of international buyers? We are an end-to-end solutions partner providing formulation support for tablets and capsules, and application support for gummies and beverages. We provide full regulatory, documentation, analytical, Lutein coa, Lutein tds and stability support. We offer comprehensive data, including 3-month accelerated and 6-month real-time stability, assay retention percentages, photo-oxidation data, and solubility videos.

We offer Tier pricing, Annual contract pricing, Campaign based pricing.
