Nutritional Ingredients

HEARTLAND 75 Vital Wheat Gluten is a light creamy tan powder with a bland taste produced from USA Hard Red Winter wheat. The gluten is washed from the flour and dried in a controlled environment producing a concentrated and powerful material. On a dry basis, HEARTLAND 75 is concentrated at 75% protein. Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) under 21 CFR, Part 184.1322

KeraGLO® Hydrolyzed Keratin (Food Grade) Hydrolyzed keratin is keratin protein that has been broken down into smaller molecules and is readily absorbed in the body when consumed orally. Keratin is a structural protein that connects epithelial (skin) cells together and protects them from environmental damage. However, keratin itself is insoluble and is poorly absorbed in the body.

Hamlet Protein HP FiberStart is a concept of enzymatically co-processed protein and fiber raw materials. The result is a functional ingredient, which contains fermentable fibers. The purpose is to stimulate the weaning pig in multiple ways. In addition HP FiberStart removes the need for Zinc oxide in nursery feed to promote firm feces and maintain the same growth performance.

ElastaGLO® Hydrolyzed Elastin is a highly elastic protein in the connective tissue which allows skin to return to its original position when stretched. Collagen is the main component of skin; elastin holds the collagen bundles together and gives skin its elasticity. Aging causes elastin production to slow down, therefore skin loses elasticity and wrinkles begin to form. Elastin helps restore the elasticity of skin. Hydrolyzed elastin has been shown to provide additional benefits, including improvements in vascular elasticity and blood flow. It supports joint mobility, healthy ligaments, and a healthy, non-sagging bust. Hydrolyzed elastin can also be considered for a surgical recovery product.

Adaptogens mimic the body’s own stress-reducing hormones and increase the body’s ability to recover from stress while creating an overall feeling of balance and normalization. Shoden® is the perfect ingredient for the “new normal” where emotional wellbeing has become a primary concern. Sustainability and traceability are important. Shoden® Ashwagandha has a great story of sustainable farming and supporting the communities surrounding the farms.

Calprona SP prevents spoilage and recontamination of animal feed, improves the digestibility of the feed (resulting in higher feed efficiency) and acts as an additional source of minerals and energy.

PotaStarch Native is a co-product released during the slicing process of food grade potatoes. The starch gets into the process water and is collected, washed, purified and then air dried.

Corn/Maize bran is a by-product of various corn/maize processing industries, including starch and ethanol production, and the production of maize-based foods. While corn/maize bran theoretically consists of the bran coating removed in the early stages of processing, the corn/maize bran sold for livestock feeding is usually a mixture of the bran fraction and other by-products and is, therefore, a very loosely defined product of highly variable composition. In the case of ethanol production, corn/maize bran is defined as the mixture of the bran fraction and distillers solubles. In the starch extraction process, corn/maize bran is usually mixed with steep liquor to produce corn gluten feed. In the production of maize grits by the dry milling process, corn/maize bran is mixed with broken kernels, germ residue after oil extraction, and inseparable fractions of germ, pericarp and endosperm to produce hominy feed.
