What i.Bioceuticals does

i.Bioceuticals, Inc. is a privately held B2B specialty ingredient supplier headquartered in Orleans, Massachusetts. The company holds exclusive North American distribution rights to MASQUELIER's Original OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins derived from Vitis vinifera grape seeds) and MASQUELIER's French Pine Bark Extract (sourced from Pinus maritima bark in southwest France), operating under a long-standing partnership with I.N.C. that has spanned more than 20 years. The company serves brand manufacturers, GMP manufacturers, and finished-product formulators in the nutritional supplement, pharmaceutical, and functional food industries who require authenticated, trademark-licensed OPCs ingredients with documented quality and regulatory substantiation.

The technical foundation rests on Professor Jack Masquelier's original 1948 industrial methods for isolating OPCs and the proprietary Complex Phytonutrient Authentication (CPA) system, which combines DNA barcoding of source seeds, batch-file tracking during extraction, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance plus Principal Component Analysis testing of finished material. Manufacturing occurs in France under pharmaceutical-grade regulations in an ISO 9002-certified facility, with screening against over 200 pesticides and verification of consistent ratios across 29 distinct OPC molecules. This authentication infrastructure supports seven FDA-aligned structure/function claim categories covering cardiovascular, collagen, antioxidant, sports recovery, anti-aging, leg veins, and eye health.

Commercially, i.Bioceuticals operates a consultative, sales-led B2B motion: pricing is not publicly disclosed, and customers engage directly to receive Technical Specification Sheets, Certificates of Analysis, Material Safety Data Sheets, and a Full Traceability Dossier. Downstream brands must execute a trademark letter of agreement before deploying the MASQUELIER's® mark on finished product labels. The operating footprint is small (1-10 employees), revenue is undisclosed, no funding rounds or acquisitions are recorded, and the partnership with I.N.C. plus a single product family define the present scope of the business.
