Plant extracts, fruit juice powders, vitamins and much more – STEFES Ingredients has a huge range of functional and health-promoting raw materials. Our portfolio includes more than 1000 active ingredients. We supply many products in organic quality.
The dietary supplement and food industry is constantly evolving – as experienced experts, we also have a good feel for new trends.
Milk thistle extract for liver protection, acerola for immune stimulation or lemon balm for calming – anyone looking for plant extracts for the production of food supplements will find an experienced partner in STEFES Ingredients. In addition to plant extracts in various extraction ratios, standardized for different active ingredients, we also offer plant powders.
Protein suppliers for food and dietary supplements
Plant-based proteins are an excellent alternative to proteins of animal origin. STEFES Ingredients supplies plant proteins in powder form. The range includes not only high-demand plant proteins such as pea protein, rice protein, hemp protein and chia protein, but also rarer products such as almond protein.
Your company wants to make a healthy raspberry smoothie or a delicious spinach-based smoothie bowl? No problem, because STEFES Ingredients supplies you with the high-quality raw materials you need for this.
The alternative to fresh produce: Fruit and vegetables in powder form
Our portfolio includes fruit juice powders and fruit powders as well as vegetable powders. We are also happy to procure a large part of the functional raw materials for you in certified organic quality.
Raw materials from water – macroalgae or microalgae? At STEFES Ingredients you can get both. Our assortment includes macroalgae such as bladderwrack or sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca). We also supply microalgae such as spirulina and chrorella in very good organic quality: directly from the controlled tank. We offer the carotenoid astaxanthin (Haematococcus pluvialis) as powder, extract and oily suspension.
The variety of mushrooms
Cordyceps, Chaga and Reishi – these mushrooms do not end up on the plate because of their taste, but are used in traditional Chinese medicine, for example. We sell mushroom powders in conventionally tested quality, as organic goods as well as in different extraction ratios.
Collagen for beauty inside-out products is usually of animal origin. Eggnovo’s eggshell membrane products offer a vegetarian alternative. Ovoderm® and Ovomet®, for example, contain a high proportion of structure-giving multi-collagen type I, type V and type X.
Two in an egg – collagen and hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is also a component of the eggshell membrane. The fine egg membrane thus has two ingredients that our body also produces itself. However, the body’s own production decreases with increasing age. As an alternative to vegetarian hyaluronic acid from eggshell membrane, we can also offer vegan hyaluronic acid produced by fermentation with the help of fungi.
What is this actually? These are raw materials that cannot be assigned to any common category. Because these rare treasures have very special ingredients, their use is so interesting for manufacturers in the dietary supplement industry. Three examples:
