Aurea Biolabs

What Aurea Biolabs does

Aurea Biolabs is an India-based B2B manufacturer of proprietary bioactive nutraceutical ingredients, supplying global supplement, functional food, and animal nutrition brands with branded compounds derived from natural sources. Founded in 2013 as part of the Plant Lipids group, the company has commercialized a portfolio of 10+ ingredients including Acumin (turmeric/curcumin via PNS Technology), Acujoint (joint health), Fitnox (endurance, US patented and GRAS-certified), Rephyll (muscle recovery, beta-caryophyllene via Nanofiber Weaving), Actbiome (gut health), Ginactiv (ginger), MyStasis (ashwagandha), and the Spectra natural color line, with RESPHIRE serving an animal nutrition vertical.

The technical platform is built on two granted delivery patents — PNS Technology (Polar-Nonpolar Sandwiching) and Zeal Technology (liposomal sustained release) — supplemented by NFW (Nanofiber Weaving). These technologies underpin the company's clinical claims, including a 10x bioavailability uplift versus standard turmeric extracts, 32% VAS pain improvement at Day 180 for Acujoint, 63% anxiety reduction for MyStasis, and 34% fatigue index improvement for Rephyll. Aurea operates an Innovation Center in Cochin staffed by 50+ scientists and a US subsidiary (Aurea Biolabs LLC, Cedar Park, TX) established in 2019.

Aurea generates revenue through one-time ingredient licensing and multi-year B2B supply contracts (quote-based pricing), selling directly to nutraceutical manufacturers and through exclusive distribution partners such as Glanbia Nutritionals in the United States for Acujoint and Curowhite. Customer segments span sports nutrition, joint health, digestive health, general wellness, and natural color solutions for nutraceutical formats. The company benefits from vertical integration with parent Plant Lipids, which processes 200 tons daily and serves 80+ countries, and has been recognized with Shefexil First Place awards in nutraceutical exports for fiscal years 2022-23 and 2023-24.
