What gembra health does

Gembra Health is a U.S.-based wholesale supplier of bovine and ovine organ and collagen raw materials for the nutraceutical industry. The company operates from a cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facility in Loveland, Colorado, and offers more than 20 freeze-dried powders — including liver, kidney, heart, pancreas, thymus, spleen, brain, lung, bone, marrow, blood, colostrum, and gallbladder — plus hydrolyzed bovine collagen and ovine liver, placenta, and thymus. Raw materials are sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle in New Zealand and Australia under a non-defatted, lyophilization-based process that the company claims retains up to 99% of nutrients, with each lot shipped with a certificate of analysis covering microbial, heavy metals, and nutritional testing.

The business model is transactional B2B wholesale with a 10 kg minimum order quantity, quote-based pricing with 12–24 hour response, volume tiers for larger buyers, and custom blends available at premium pricing. The primary customer segment is nutraceutical manufacturers, with secondary segments of contract manufacturers and co-packers, and private-label brands. All sales are direct, with no distributors or resellers. The company reaches customers through content-driven SEO, a company blog, and inbound quote requests — without disclosing named customers, ARR, or headcount.

In 2025 Gembra Health extended its model beyond raw material sales: in April 2025 it launched contract freeze-drying services for third-party producers, and in November 2025 added full-service private label manufacturing with custom formulation support. The company also introduced USA-sourced bovine products alongside its existing New Zealand and Australia supply chain, and expanded into ovine species. No funding rounds, ownership structure, management team, or financial disclosures are publicly available.
