OmniBroth™
OmniBroth™ is a bone broth rich in protein, collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin and key minerals. It is available in either powder or paste format depending on requirements.
OmniCol™
Collagen peptides deliver high-purity protein that dissolves quickly even in cold applications, making them ideal for food and beverage manufacturers. Known for supporting joint flexibility, muscle maintenance, and beauty benefits, they help create functional products that meet growing consumer demand for health-focused nutrition.
HydroBEEF™
HydroBEEF™ is derived from quality beef raw materials making it an excellent natural protein ingredient that fits well into many nutrition applications to provide a nutritional boost.
OmniFer™
Iron is essential for energy, immunity, and brain function, but many consumers struggle to get enough. OmniFer™ is a fine particle protein ingredient derived from porcine red cells. It is thus a natural source of heme iron that is known to have a higher bioavailability than that of non-heme iron.
