Custom Formulation
Built around your formulation, not ours.
Both our materials are customisable, on two entirely different parameter sets. Tell us what your product needs and we contract the specification for your lots.
A standard grade is a compromise
Most ingredient suppliers offer two or three grades and expect your formulation to adapt. That works until it doesn't — a peptide that performs in a capsule may cloud a clear beverage, and a molecular weight that suits a joint product may be wrong for a beauty claim.
We develop to your requirement instead. Tell us the application, the dose per serving, the format and the constraints, and we propose a specification. Once agreed, it becomes the contracted release criteria for every lot we ship you.
Two materials, two parameter sets
Collagen peptide is customised on molecular weight and purity. Hydroxyapatite is customised on particle size and crystal structure. They are unrelated problems, and a supplier who talks about one while selling you the other has not thought about your formulation.
What we need from you
- The application and format
- Dose per serving
- Any incompatibilities you have already found
- Regulatory market and label claims intended
- Expected annual volume
Confidentiality agreed before any formulation detail is exchanged.
What we can set on the peptide
These parameters determine how the peptide behaves in your formulation — how fast it absorbs, whether it clouds a beverage, and whether it tastes of anything.
| Parameter | Range we work within | What it governs in your product |
|---|---|---|
| Molecular weight distribution | Under 3,000 Da to under 1,000 Da | Absorption rate and consistency. We specify the distribution, not just an average — two peptides with the same average behave very differently |
| Protein content, dry basis | 90% to over 95% | Active loading per serving, and therefore cost-in-use and label dose |
| Ash content | Under 2.0% to under 1.0% | Clarity in solution and completeness of demineralisation. The clearest single indicator of process control |
| Solubility and clarity | To your pH and dosing level | Whether a clear beverage stays clear. Specified at your intended matrix, not in distilled water |
| Colour and odour | Neutral through characteristic | Whether the product can be sold unflavoured or lightly flavoured |
| Moisture | Under 8.0% to under 7.0% | Shelf life, caking behaviour and flow in a filling line |
| Heavy metal limits | To your market's ceiling | Regulatory acceptance in the destination market, which is stricter in some than in India |
What we can set on the mineral
Molecular weight is meaningless here. Hydroxyapatite is customised on physical structure, and the parameters that matter change completely between a calcium supplement, a tablet and a toothpaste.
| Parameter | Range we work within | What it governs in your product |
|---|---|---|
| Particle size distribution | To specification, D50 and D90 agreed | The single most important parameter. Mouthfeel in a powder, compressibility in a tablet, suspension in a liquid, and enamel penetration in oral care — where material milled too coarse simply does not work |
| Ca : P molar ratio | 1.60 to 1.70 | The number you print on the label, and the measure of how close the material sits to bone mineral |
| Crystallinity | Nano-crystalline, degree specified | Solubility and dissolution rate. Lower crystallinity dissolves more readily, which matters for absorption positioning |
| Carbonate substitution | Retained or reduced | The biological signature that distinguishes marine material from synthetic. Retained by default, because it is the reason to buy marine at all |
| Specific surface area | To specification | Binding and deposition behaviour, particularly in oral care applications |
| Residual protein | Under 1.0%, tighter on request | Purity, whiteness, and allergen labelling position in some markets |
| Bulk and tapped density | To specification | Tablet compression, capsule fill weight and volumetric filling accuracy |
| Colour and whiteness | To specification | Appearance in toothpaste and in white powder formats, where off-white reads as impurity to a consumer |
| Thermal treatment | Uncalcined or calcined | A single decision that changes crystallinity, surface area and solubility together. We will advise which suits your application rather than defaulting |
From requirement to contracted specification
Brief
Application, format, dose and constraints. NDA in place first.
Proposal
We propose a specification we can hold, or tell you plainly if we cannot.
Sample
Trial quantity with certificate of analysis for your own verification.
Contract
Agreed parameters become the release criteria for your lots.
