Gadot Biochemical Industries

What Gadot Biochemical Industries does

Gadot Biochemical Industries Ltd. is a Haifa, Israel-headquartered B2B manufacturer of mineral ingredient salts founded in 1964. The company produces organic, high-bioavailability mineral forms — including citrates, gluconates, phosphates, and bisglycinates — spanning magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, and zinc, plus citric acid and crystalline fructose. Gadot serves food and beverage, nutraceutical and dietary supplement, pharmaceutical, animal nutrition, and personal care manufacturers through direct sales and an active trade show presence, with over 95% of production exported globally from offices in Israel, Florida (US), and Hoogvliet (Netherlands), operating through wholly-owned subsidiary Gadot Bio-Chem (Europe) BV.

The product portfolio centers on solving specific formulation problems for manufacturers rather than producing commodity minerals. Patent-pending proprietary compounds include GadoMag K (Magnesium-Potassium Citrate for dairy alternative fortification) and Gadocal K (Calcium-Potassium Citrate), alongside blend products such as Cal2Mag (Calcium-Magnesium Citrate in a scientifically-proven ratio for women's bone health, addressing arterial calcification risk from calcium-only supplementation), Gadomag+ (cold-water-soluble magnesium citrate), GADOMAG 365 (direct-to-mouth formulation), and GadoACV5 (apple cider vinegar powder). The company holds Halal, Kosher, Non-GMO Project Verified, and GMP certifications, complies with USP/NF/BP/EP/FCC pharmacopeial standards, and secured EU food additive authorization (E 345(i)) for Tri Magnesium Citrate Anhydrous in February 2024.

Gadot's revenue model is direct B2B ingredient sales to manufacturers on quote-based, per-customer negotiated pricing (no public pricing disclosure). The go-to-market relies on a direct enterprise sales team, marketing manager Eva Criado, VP of Sales Youval Saly, and presence at industry events such as SupplySide West. The company has 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no public revenue figures. Recent strategic activity has centered on product launches (Cal2Mag in January 2022, Magnesium Bisglycinate for Gummies in April 2024) and regulatory milestones rather than capital-driven expansion.
