What Biopep does

BIOPEP Industrial International Co., Ltd. is a Canadian biotechnology company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Emerald Industrial Park, Saskatchewan, that researches, develops, manufactures, and sells natural health and functional food products derived from Canadian agricultural resources. The company's core product line is built around Organic Golden Flaxseed Powder and Organic Hemp Seeds — processed using cold pressing and a patented ultra-fine grinding technology — and small-molecule bioactive peptide products derived from wild Canadian deep-sea sea cucumbers (500Da) and marine collagen, produced using biomimetic/nano-scale enzymatic hydrolysis technology that yields 300 Dalton peptides. The company holds 69 patents covering bioactive peptides, dietary fibres, and functional foods, and operates two sub-brands: CanMar Foods (bulk roasted flaxseed for B2B food industry customers) and CHRYSPEP (women's wellness Inner Radiance line). Additional product lines include BIOPEP skincare products (graphene masks, peptide-based serums) and VHP pet prescription food.

The company employs a sales-led, event-driven B2B go-to-market model concentrated on the Chinese market. Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer sales of branded products, wholesale bulk ingredient sales under CanMar Foods, OEM/private-label manufacturing partnerships, and cross-border e-commerce distribution. The company has no publicly disclosed pricing, runs no app, and offers no API or digital platform. Customer segments span health-conscious consumers, women's wellness buyers, B2B food industry operators, and pet health owners. The company maintains a 40+ member R&D team in collaboration with Canadian and Chinese universities and has been actively participating in major Chinese trade shows (CIIE 2025, CICPE 2025, Sugar & Wine Fair 2025) as part of the official Canadian Pavilion, where its Organic Golden Flaxseed Powder sold out within three days. BIOPEP is founder-led (Bao Lei) and remains privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or parent company.
