Introduction to nutraceuticals

Nutraceutical raw materials form the foundation for producing high-quality dietary supplements.

These include medicinal plants, fungi, algae, and natural enzymes, widely used in the industry for functional formulations, superfood products, and innovative health and wellness solutions.

Forms

The three standard forms in the industry

In the nutraceutical industry, raw materials are typically supplied in three main forms: powders, non-standardised dry extracts, and standardised dry extracts.

Each meets different production needs, balancing concentration, cost, and stability.

funghi-forma-polvere

Powder

In their most natural form, powders retain their active compounds thanks to gentle drying and grinding methods.

funghi-forma-non-std

Non-standardised dry extract

These extracts ensure a consistent extraction ratio that preserves the original essence of the raw material.

Standardised dry extract

Standardised extracts, the result of innovation, guarantee uniform levels of active compounds in every batch.

Composition & analysis

Active ingredients & analytical methods

Active ingredients are a central element of nutraceutical raw materials. To ensure production consistency for our clients, every batch must maintain stable and measurable characteristics.

Analytical standardization ensures the declared composition remains consistent over time, simplifying quality control and making the supply chain reliable and traceable.

Active principle selection

Natural composition: Every natural product contains multiple bioactive compounds that may vary in concentration.

Active ingredient: For many extracts, a key compound is selected and titrated to ensure batch-to-batch stability.

Analytical methods: Techniques such as HPLC and UV-Vis allow for precise and repeatable identification and quantification of active ingredients.

Supporting documentation: Each batch is accompanied by Certificates of Analysis and Technical Data Sheets to ensure full transparency and traceability.

Guide

What really matters in supply

Product form: Powder, non-standardised extract, or standardised extract — three options that define concentration, characteristics, and analytical methods.

Documentation: Technical data sheets, certificates of analysis, and safety data sheets provide the foundation for clear and traceable supply management.

EU regulatory requirements: Compliance, contaminant limits, and batch traceability guarantee alignment with European standards and product safety during commercialization.
