What Bio-gen Extracts does

Bio-gen Extracts Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2000 in Bengaluru, India, is a privately held B2B manufacturer of science-backed nutraceutical ingredients. The company transitioned from its origins as a WHO-GMP-certified chemicals firm into nutraceuticals in 2003 and now operates an EU-GMP- and US-FDA-compliant manufacturing facility under a Quality by Design framework, complemented by FSSC 22000, Halal, and Kosher certifications. It markets 16+ registered trademarks across branded ingredients (Lute-gen®, CaroRite®, TruBeet®, Regenate®, FenuLean®, ThymoPure™) and specialized items (OptiFlavone®, Beta Caro-gen®, Zea-gen®, Ultra Caro-gen®, Ultra-gen Omega®), supported by 25 scientific publications and 7 clinically researched ingredients.

Underlying the portfolio are five proprietary delivery platforms — OptiBead™ (pH/thermo/photostability beadlet technology), ActiSperse™ and EmulSave™ (solubility and dispersibility enhancement in powder and liquid forms respectively), LipoMAX™ (lipid-based bioavailability enhancement for lipophilic actives), and MeltEEZ™ (fast melt-in-mouth oral disintegration). These platforms are intended to differentiate Bio-gen's ingredient offerings on stability, bioavailability, and formulation flexibility versus commodity extracts.

Commercially, the company runs a direct B2B sales motion targeting pharmaceutical, food supplement, and health nutraceutical manufacturers across 50+ countries with 500+ active customers. It supports customers with documentation, samples, analytical reports, and formulation assistance. Revenue is generated through ingredient manufacturing supply under one-time licensing/contract terms (pricing not publicly disclosed), with a $10 million manufacturing expansion announced to advance precision nutrition manufacturing capacity. The company also operates Anaha LifeCare (formed 2016) as an adjacent entity providing formulation and application development services.
