Specialty Actives
Specialty actives are higher-value, differentiated ingredients beyond the standard categories, such as CoQ10, hyaluronic acid, digestive enzymes, and other premium or novel actives that brands use to make a product stand out. Indock sources these in branded and unbranded forms, with a certificate of analysis and EU compliance checked, including novel food status.
Specialty actives we source
- Antioxidant actives: CoQ10 and similar
- Beauty and joint actives: hyaluronic acid and related ingredients
- Functional actives: enzymes and other targeted ingredients
Where branded matters most
Specialty actives are where branded ingredients add the most value, since a trademarked, clinically studied form supports a strong label claim and a premium price. Where a generic version fits, we supply unbranded actives too. See branded vs unbranded ingredients to decide.
Documentation and compliance
Specialty actives ship with a certificate of analysis and specifications (see quality and documentation). Because some are novel foods or restricted, we check this carefully for the EU (see ingredient compliance). When your formula is set, we can manufacture the finished supplement.
