Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
Our range of APIs

We are a global leader in the research, production and marketing of natural APIs, such as heparin, thyroid extract, chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine

All of our compounds are developed under strict quality standards and comply with United States and European Union pharmacopoeias.

Several international pharmaceutical companies trust us as a strategic partner, not only for our production capacity but also for our analytical expertise, quality assurance, regulatory support, and market experience, in addition to the commitment we bring to every stage of the process.

With a business model based on the vertical integration of the entire value chain, we guarantee the traceability, safety, and sustainability of all our products.

A history rooted in heparin

We are world leaders in the production of the active ingredient heparin

This molecule, which is essential for human health, has played an intrinsic role in our history. Heparin is the most widely used anticoagulant and antithrombotic in the world and is featured on the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines. Its use prevents and treats thrombosis, a disease that, according to the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH), accounts for one in four deaths worldwide. It is estimated that heparin saves more than 100 million lives each year.

Our business model, based on the vertical integration of the entire value chain, combined with specialized knowledge in biological compounds, has established us as a world leader in the production of heparin API.

Our commitment to supporting health and wellness also shines through the development of science-backed, functional ingredients of natural origin that promote a healthier life

With this goal in mind, we offer a portfolio of leading nutraceutical ingredients: 

  • Collavant® n2, native type II collagen (undenatured) that helps to maintain joint health
  • Mobilee®, a hyaluronic acid matrix that contributes to joint mobility and joint health
  • Dermial®, a hyaluronic acid matrix supporting the health and nutrition of skin
  • DAOgest, Diamine Oxidase (DAO) enzyme for histamine intolerance solutions 

Backed by rigorous research, these ingredients are designed to meet the demands of the nutraceutical, food and dietary supplement markets.
