What Nutraland USA does

Nutraland USA, Inc. is a privately held B2B supplier of plant-based, clean-label nutraceutical ingredients founded in 2011 and headquartered at 9267 Research Dr, Irvine, California. The company develops and supplies specialty raw material ingredients — most notably Vegadelight® (lichen-derived vegan vitamin D3, independently certified by Euromonitor International as the #1 selling vegan vitamin D3 in the USA), Somato® (patent-pending whole-food phytomelatonin from tomato), Miricell™ (upcycled rice germ polyamines/spermidine with clinically demonstrated autophagy biomarker increases), Actiz!ng™ (premium black ginger extract), K2Go® (vitamin K2 in MK-4 and MK-7 forms), and additional ingredients including LifePQQ®, NutraFolate™, and pumPROtein™ — to dietary supplement manufacturers and functional food and beverage companies. The company operates a JV manufacturing facility in China with R&D center and BRCGS-certified production capabilities (Grade A+ with FSMA module) and supports the US operation from Irvine.

The business runs a sales-led B2B model combining direct engagement with key accounts, exclusive regional channel partners (Ingredients Plus Pty Ltd holds exclusive ANZ distribution rights for Vegadelight®), and presence at major industry trade shows (SupplySide Global, Natural Products Expo West). The portfolio is differentiated by an unusually deep regulatory and certification footprint — GRAS affirmations across multiple SKUs, USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Vegan.org, Kosher, and FSMA FSVP compliance — supported by a Scientific Advisory Board formed in March 2024 and CSO Dr. Gene Bruno's external thought-leadership platform (The Vitamin Professor LinkedIn video newsletter). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through ingredient supply contracts rather than licensing.

Growth has been driven by sustained product launches (Somato®, Actiz!ng™), a high cadence of regulatory milestones through 2023-2025, geographic expansion (ANZ distribution partnership announced February 2026), and a strategic co-development partnership with Youthorin Biotechnology (August 2025) targeting Akkermansia Muciniphila and other bioactives for the gut microbiome/probiotics vertical. The company is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investors or funding rounds.
