Monteloeder

What Monteloeder does

Monteloeder, S.L. is a Spain-based developer and supplier of proprietary, clinically-substantiated branded botanical ingredients sold on a business-to-business basis to dietary supplement, functional food and beverage, nutricosmetic, and animal nutrition manufacturers. Founded in 1996 in Elche and headquartered at a manufacturing site operating under cGMP, HACCP, ISO 9001:2015, FDA registration, NSF/ANSI 173, Halal, Kosher, and Organic certifications, the company has spent over two decades standardizing and extracting active compounds (for example, verbascoside from lemon verbena, hibiscus polyphenols) into soluble powder formats suitable for tablets, capsules, ready-to-mix, and ready-to-drink applications.

The portfolio is organized around the Visible Health Platform spanning three benefit territories — Visible Metabolic Health, Visible Balance, and Visible Radiance — and currently comprises eight branded ingredients: Metabolaid (weight and metabolic health), RelaxPLX (sleep and stress), MovePLX (joint comfort and muscle recovery), Berelief (discomfort relief), Nutroxsun 365 (skin radiance), Eternalyoung (skin anti-aging), Elissara, formerly Zeropollution (scalp-first hair beauty), and Mindrevive (cognitive support). These ingredients are differentiated by patented combinations, proprietary extraction processes, and accumulated clinical evidence — nine published studies for Metabolaid, five clinical trials for MovePLX, three randomized placebo-controlled studies supporting RelaxPLX's Health Canada and South Korea MFDS approvals, among others.

Monteloeder sells primarily through enterprise field sales supported by an internal scientific and R&D team, with trade shows (Vitafoods Europe/Asia, FI&HI Europe, CPhI) as a primary demand-generation channel; the website explicitly targets professional clients rather than consumers. The company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SUANNUTRA SA in February 2022, retains operational independence, and distributes ingredients through the parent group's infrastructure with regional sales coverage spanning Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific.
