The gap

Your customers are selling to dogs and cats. Their data isn’t.

Most functional ingredient data comes from research on other species. That leaves your customers with two gaps at the buying table — and you can close both.

SPSpecies gapNever tested in a dog or cat.
MXMatrix gapNever tested inside a finished pet product at real inclusion rate.

Inclusion levels

Don’t know the effective dose? We test a range and find it.

Most brands don’t arrive with a defensible concentration — and that’s fine. We test your extract across a series of concentrations, identify the level where activity holds, and translate that into a concrete inclusion rate you can formulate with.

Concentration seriesWe read activity at each step to locate the effective level.
0.25%Below threshold
0.5%Partial response
1.0%Activity holdsEffective
2.0%No added benefit
Recommended inclusion rate1.0% of the finished formulation
What we test

Six claim areas, each in a dog or cat cell model.

These are the claim areas relevant to functional ingredients. We map your extract to the ones your customers want to support.

IM

Immune and inflammatory response

Canine or feline cell model
DG

Digestive health and nutrient absorption

Canine or feline cell model
SK

Skin and coat health

Canine or feline cell model
MB

Mobility and muscular health

Canine or feline cell model
CX

Cellular health and antioxidant protection

Canine or feline cell model
VS

Vascular health and circulation

Two Options

Test the ingredient, then test it inside the product.

L1

Ingredient level

Does your extract have measurable activity in dog or cat cells, at a defensible concentration?

This is the data you hand a prospective brand.

L2

In-formulation level

Does that activity survive inside a finished product, after processing, at the inclusion rate a brand would actually use?

This is what turns a buyer’s maybe into a purchase order.

The rule we hold

We scope every result to exactly what we tested. Ingredient data proves the ingredient. It does not become a finished-product claim unless we tested the finished product.

Optional

The comparator test

We run your extract head-to-head against a competing ingredient in the same cell model. If yours performs, that is a selling point your competitor cannot copy.
