High-purity botanical raw ingredients optimized for Dutch and wider European regulatory alignment (EFSA compliant).
Benefiting from the solid foundation provided by its parent company, Xi'an Tianben Bioengineering Co., Ltd., Botanical Cube Inc. focuses on researching, developing, producing and selling healthy natural ingredients. With more than two decades of industry experience, it has become a leader in the field, specializing in providing high-quality plant extracts and customized solutions to global customers. Services meet the needs of industries including herbal medicine, health foods, dietary supplements, food and beverages, daily chemicals and cosmetics.
Our operations are supported by three companies - Xi'an Tianben Bioengineering Co., Ltd., Botanical Cube Inc. and Shaanxi Tianben Kangyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. - which together operate 3 production bases covering more than 100 acres and process more than 3,000 tons of plant raw materials each year. The product range includes more than 200 plant extracts, and we also provide a variety of certified organic products to meet the global demand for environmentally friendly and healthy solutions. Exporting to 60% of the world's countries, serving more than 200 countries and regions and more than 500 customers from all walks of life.
As the primary gateway to the European Union, the Netherlands sits at the absolute center of global health supplement logistics and regulatory operations. For international supplement brands, sourcing ingredients that align with Dutch import standards is key to scaling across EMEA markets.
The Netherlands represents the ultimate logistics channel for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and plant-based extract powders entering Europe. With over 60% of all European dietary supplement components passing through Dutch ports like Rotterdam and Amsterdam, direct procurement requires deep integration with customs-cleared supply lines. Botanical Cube Inc. provides end-to-end trace documentation, ensuring frictionless clearing at the Dutch border.
Dutch consumers and brands lead the global shift towards Clean Label products. Synthetic binding agents, artificial excipients, and petroleum-based carriers are rapidly being replaced with clean plant-derived carrier alternatives like Ube Purple Yam extract and organic chicory root inulin. Sourcing from factories that specialize in non-GMO, organic-certified extraction is no longer optional—it is a critical requirement for market entry.
Supplements in the Netherlands are governed by the strict regulatory frameworks of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and local supervision by the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). Botanical Cube Inc. maintains rigorous chromatographic fingerprinting, chemical residue limits, and heavy metal testing protocols that align perfectly with the European Pharmacopoeia.
Our first factory was established in 2012 in Sanyuan City, Xi'an, four years after our company was founded. At that time, our production experience was still in its early stages, and we faced many challenges as we worked to refine our processes. However, we remained committed to continuous improvement, investing heavily in technology, training, and quality control to strengthen our capabilities. These early efforts laid a strong foundation for our future growth, shaping the high standards of excellence that we uphold today.
Powder collection, crushing and sieving, mixing and drying processes are all performed in a Class 100,000 cleanroom environment. Our operators strictly follow hygiene protocols and wear sterile gowns, masks and gloves to maintain product purity and safety, thus ensuring that we provide our customers with high quality standards and reliable ingredients.
To address global supply chain constraints and the strict demands of European nutraceutical brands, we deploy advanced analytical infrastructure and process controls.
We move beyond simple extraction ratio metrics. Every single batch of Echinacea Purpurea or Hop Cone Extract is standardized via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to guarantee exact percentages of active compounds, such as Chicoric Acid, Polyphenols, or 8-Prenylnaringenin. This guarantees batch-to-batch consistency for encapsulation, tableting, and liquid blending plants.
To maximize target absorption, we offer state-of-the-art microencapsulation options. This physical protection layer stabilizes oxygen-sensitive and volatile compounds (like Synephrine or Xanthohumol) as they navigate the human metabolic pathway, resulting in lower dose requirements for final product formulations.
Aligning with the European Union's Green Deal, our manufacturing complexes utilize closed-loop water filtration systems, solar heating arrays, and green solvent extraction processes (such as supercritical CO2 extraction). We minimize volatile organic carbon emissions during processing, keeping clean production at the forefront.
Standardized extracts prepared for functional foods, cosmetic compounds, and dietary supplement formulations in Europe.
Staying ahead of EFSA updates and changing consumer demand is essential for B2B brands. Our ongoing research and development roadmap focuses on addressing emerging market requirements.
Transparency is key to building customer trust. By integrating batch tracking with blockchain ledger storage, customers will soon be able to trace their botanical powder shipments directly back to the specific harvest plots, extraction dates, and cleanroom records.
To align with strict zero-chemical-residual mandates, we are phasing out standard organic solvents. By utilizing advanced enzymatic pre-treatments, we are able to extract active fractions using water-only methods, resulting in pure, chemical-free final products.
Our upcoming product releases will feature native phospholipid complexes designed to increase the absorption rates of traditionally low-bioavailability compounds, helping brands improve the functional efficacy of their formulations.
