What Asterism Healthcare does

Asterism Healthcare Group is a privately held, B2B Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) that researches, develops, registers, and commercializes bioavailable liquid and solid dose functional foods, dietary supplements, and nutricosmetic products. The company was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with an R&D facility (FORMULAB) co-located at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Middletown, New York, and a commercial office in Osaka, Japan. Its formulation pipeline centers on plant-based compounds, probiotics, advanced hydrolyzed peptides, micronutrients, and Japanese Kampō ingredients, supported by an in-house research platform (FORMULAB) focused on natural compounds and clean extraction processes, plus a Brand Studio offering primary packaging and graphic design. The core product portfolio spans bioactive peptide powders, tablets and capsules, nutraceutical liquids, nutricosmetics (beauty-from-within supplements), functional beverages and medicinal tonics, and liquid-format quasi-drug production.

Asterism generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) white-label contract manufacturing services for brand owners and wellness companies, (2) bulk ingredient sales of peptide powders, nutraceutical compounds, and nutricosmetic ingredients to manufacturers, and (3) a venture-backed spin-out model in which the company partners with qualified co-founders to launch functional-nutrition companies and drive them toward acquisition. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct engagement via website inquiry, partner referrals, and an integrated brand-studio value-add. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company operates with 1–10 employees under founder/CEO Pabel Delgado and has not disclosed any institutional funding rounds, customer logos, revenue figures, patents, or regulatory certifications.
