As direct industrial manufacturers under the Botanical Cube Inc. & Xi'an Tianben bioengineering umbrella, we present our core active ingredients engineered specifically for clinical stability, high bio-availability, and clean-label compliance across Lisbon, Porto, and Braga nutraceutical lines.
Portugal has experienced an industrial transition in natural medicine, cosmetic formulations, and functional foods. Driven by the national healthcare system's shift toward preventative wellness, Portuguese manufacturers in research hubs like Coimbra, Lisbon, and Porto are looking for high-quality botanical raw materials.
Strict European regulations, monitored by the National Authority of Medicines and Health Products (INFARMED) and the Food and Economic Safety Authority (ASAE), require raw material imports to have complete chemical characterization. We address this market demand by supplying raw materials that have been checked for solvent residue, pesticide clearance, heavy metals, and PAHs.
High HPLC standardization ensures uniform bio-efficacy profiles across every single batch exported to European compounding facilities.
Our raw materials align with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) regulations. We provide documentation for Novel Food status evaluations and clean labeling requirements, helping clients navigate the complex registration steps with ASAE.
We use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to confirm that residual solvents, ethylene oxide (ETO), heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg, As), and pesticide levels remain below the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) thresholds.
From wild harvesting or controlled cultivation sites to our 100,000-class clean rooms, every processing phase is recorded. Each batch of extract is dispatched with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Allergen statement, Non-GMO declaration, and SDS.
Leveraging the foundation established by our parent entity, Xi'an Tianben Bioengineering Co., Ltd., alongside Botanical Cube Inc. and Shaanxi Tianben Kangyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., we run a reliable and vertically integrated production system.
Our infrastructure includes 3 production sites spanning over 100 acres, with the capability to process over 3,000 tons of plant raw materials annually. Offering more than 200 distinct plant extracts, we support pharmaceutical, dietary supplement, infant nutrition, and personal care brands across 60% of the world's countries.
Our primary manufacturing base, the Sanyuan Factory, was established in 2012 in Sanyuan County, Shaanxi, four years after our company was founded. We have systematically upgraded our technology and processes to meet international quality control standards.
The final stages of production—including powder collection, crushing, sifting, blending, and vacuum drying—are performed in our Class 100,000 cleanroom environment. Technicians operate under sterile protocols, wearing protective suits and masks to prevent cross-contamination and ensure the microbiological safety of our products.
Inside our verified production lines at Sanyuan Factory.
GAP-standardized botanical raw material procurement, verified by species DNA authentication, followed by low-temperature air-drying to preserve delicate thermolabile bioactive molecules.
Employing dynamic countercurrent extraction, subcritical water extraction, or advanced CO2 supercritical fluid technologies to target active compound fractions while minimizing organic solvents.
Ultrafiltration and nanofiltration to concentrate target molecules at low temperatures, preventing oxidation and thermal degradation of delicate bio-actives.
Adsorption resin columns isolate specific alkaloids, flavonoids, or glycosides, yielding purity profiles suitable for pharmaceutical applications.
High-efficiency spray drying and fluid bed drying in Class 100,000 cleanrooms ensure uniform particle size, fast dissolution profiles, and stable moisture control.
Final testing using HPLC, GC, ICP-MS, and microbiological plating. Products are shipped in nitrogen-flushed, double-bagged food-grade packaging.
We manage botanical supply chain logistics to ensure consistent raw material quality and delivery for our partners.
We offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping solutions for European ports like Leixões and Lisbon. Our team handles import documentation, customs clearance, and local duties to simplify your supply chain.
Every shipment is verified against pre-shipment samples. We provide chromatographic fingerprints (HPLC/TLC) to verify batch-to-batch identity and purity.
We provide packaging options from 1kg trial bags for pilot research to 25kg fiber drums for commercial-scale production. Custom moisture-barrier protection is available for hygroscopic extracts.
