Branded ingredient formulation, without the broker markup.
Clinically studied, trademarked actives sourced direct from the ingredient owner. Produced under cGMP at our overseas manufacturing partners, then fulfilled from our Exton, PA HQ.
Formulation built around trademarked, clinically-studied actives.
A branded ingredient isn't just a version of the active — it's a specific, patented, human-clinical-trialed form with a defined mechanism and a defensible label claim. Formulating around them is how emerging brands land shelf space at Whole Foods, get past the Amazon compliance bar, and earn practitioner recommendations. We do it every day.

Sourced at origin, not through a broker
Ingredient quality is the ceiling on your product quality. We source on a two-track model — botanicals direct from the growers who produce them, everything else from globally qualified suppliers — so you get the real thing at the real price, with no importer, distributor, or broker markup stacked on top.
Botanicals, direct from source
Our facilities sit in the world's largest producer of botanical actives. For these, we buy directly from growers and primary processors — no middlemen:
Ashwagandha · Turmeric (curcumin) · Holy basil (tulsi) · Bacopa monnieri · Fenugreek · Moringa · Neem · Amla · Triphala · Shilajit (Himalayan-sourced)
Backed by 5,000 years of Ayurvedic formulation heritage and modern analytical science — better extraction, better standardization, lower cost. For ashwagandha specifically, we offer the premium standardized extracts KSM-66 and Sensoril.
Everything else, globally qualified
For vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and specialty compounds, we source globally — wherever the best quality exists for that specific ingredient — through suppliers that clear our qualification process.
That means documented identity, potency, and contaminant testing before anything enters your formula, plus full traceability back to the original manufacturer.
How every raw material is vetted
Nothing touches your product until it passes every test:
- Identity (HPLC, FTIR) — is it actually what it claims to be?
- Potency / assay — does it hit spec? (95% curcuminoids means we test to 95%)
- Heavy metals — lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, all below FDA/USP limits
- Pesticides · Microbial (E. coli, Salmonella, Staph) · Moisture · Allergens
Every supplier is audited and must provide a Certificate of Analysis on every lot — and we independently re-test rather than just trusting their COAs. Anything that fails is rejected and re-sourced.
