Extracts in a Wealth of Variations

Our portfolio of extracts for nutritional supplements is made up of a vast array of galenic forms. We offer dried extracts and compacted granulates for direct compression of tablets or as capsule filling material. Our product spectrum also includes liquid, oily and soft extracts. All of these galenic forms have one thing in common: the ingredients from the primary botanicals are retained almost entirely thanks to gentle cutting, grinding, extraction and drying processes. We will be happy to advise you as to which galenics are best suited to your requirements.
