Nutrition & Supplement Ingredients

Natural ingredients for forward-thinking nutrition brands. From start-up supplement labels to established manufacturers, The Ingredients Store supplies the oils, antioxidants and functional ingredients behind powders, capsules, oils and functional foods, with the documents your technical team needs to sign them off.

MCT oil for food and supplement manufacturers

MCT oil is the backbone of many nutrition formulations, and it is one of our core bulk lines. We supply medium-chain triglyceride oils for use in food, drinks and supplement products, from trial packs through to drums:

• C8 MCT Oil (Coconut-Derived): caprylic acid (C8) MCT from coconut rather than palm, clear and neutral in taste and odour. 1kg, 5kg, 25kg and 200kg drums.
• Fractionated Coconut Oil (MCT, C8/C10): a caprylic/capric triglyceride blend, Kosher certified. 1kg, 5kg, 25kg and 200kg drums.
• Fractionated Coconut Oil, Organic (MCT, C8/C10): the organic option of the same profile, from 500ml to 190kg drums.

Every order comes with the specification and safety data sheet, and a certificate of analysis can be supplied for your batch. Tell us your application and we will confirm the right grade and send the current product statement for your technical file. We supply ingredients only: we do not make nutrition or health claims, and claims on your finished product are for you and your regulatory adviser.

Omega-rich seed oils

These oils are documented as suitable for food use per supplier product statements. Fatty acid ranges are taken from the supplier specifications.

Antioxidants and stabilisers

• Vitamin E (Tocopherol 70%): mixed tocopherols in sunflower oil, documented as conforming to Regulation (EC) 1334/2008 and suitable for food flavouring use per the supplier product statement. Sold from 50ml to 100kg.
• Rosemary Antioxidant: rosemary leaf extract in sunflower oil with carnosic acid at 5 to 6.5%. The supplier product statement references Regulation (EC) 1334/2008 and Regulation (EU) 231/2012. Sold from 100ml to 200kg.

Other documented food-use ingredients

These are documented as suitable for food use per supplier product statements:

• Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic, up to 1,000kg (40 x 25kg)
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cold Pressed, Refined Avocado Oil and Refined Rice Bran Oil (to 200kg drum)
• Refined Grapeseed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil and Plum Kernel Oil
• Glycerin, Refined, from vegetable oil, up to a 260kg drum
• Sea Salt and Himalayan Pink Salt, fine and coarse, 5kg to 100kg

For flavour, several essential oils, including lemon, sweet orange and peppermint, are documented as suitable for food flavouring under Regulation (EC) 1334/2008 per supplier product statements.

As with any oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, flax, echium, hemp and camelina oils should be stored cool, sealed and away from light, and used promptly once opened; your own stability work will set the shelf life of the finished product.

Kosher and halal

We show kosher or halal status only where the supplier documentation says the product is certified. On the lines above, that includes kosher certification for refined grapeseed, refined rice bran and pumpkin seed oils and for lemon, sweet orange and peppermint oils, and kosher and halal certification for sea salt. Other products are listed as not certified.

Documentation

For the documented lines we hold a specification, safety data sheet and supplier product statement, and for most a food allergen declaration and manufacturing flow chart. A certificate of analysis can be supplied for the batch you receive. We do not make nutrition claims or claims about effects on the body for any ingredient; claims on your finished product are for you and your regulatory adviser.

How to approve an ingredient with us

1. Tell us the ingredient, your application and the volumes you expect.
2. We send the supplier specification, product statement, safety data sheet and, where available, food allergen declaration.
3. Your technical team reviews the documents and, if needed, tests a sample from a 1kg or 5kg pack.
4. We quote for production quantities and supply a certificate of analysis with your batch.
