    Since 1977, Maypro has been at the forefront of ingredient innovation. Many of today’s specialty blockbuster ingredients — such as CoQ10, glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and alpha lipoic acid — were first introduced from Japan to the US market by Maypro. As the United States began to develop proprietary, patented nutraceutical ingredients in the 1990s, Maypro launched ingredients such as Citrimax®, Pycnogenol®, Tonalin®, Neopuntia® and Liposan Ultra® to the Japanese market. Today, Maypro has grown into one of the most significant global suppliers of nutraceutical and functional ingredients, with six strategically located companies in the US, Japan and China and representatives operating in markets across the globe. Maypro has developed its network of carefully selected partners to ensure its customers receive the best quality natural ingredients at competitive prices. To accomplish this, Maypro has linked together a supply chain that is transparent, traceable and auditable. It travels across the globe, from organic Ayurvedic herbs in India to patented milk-based derivatives from New Zealand grass-fed cows to a purple tea plant cultivated in mountainous regions of Kenya. Upcycled science-backed ingredients sourced from North America and Japan meet the increasingly loud call for sustainable ingredients. Maypro’s proprietary MicroActive technology encapsulates the highest quality ingredients to deliver increased bioavailability and sustained release. Suppliers in Brazil and Chile offer the highest purity and stable grade of omega-3s at 18% EPA/12% DHA. From the Philippines, comes coconut oil, while California is the source for premium spirulina. All of Maypro’s vendors must pass Maypro’s qualification and review processes. The company’s quality assurance team reviews and matches each customer’s requirements with the appropriate products and ensures all documentation is provided to customers and kept on file. More than just a purveyor of quality ingredients for the natural products industry, Maypro’s services extend beyond product development to marketing, labeling and even market analytics. The company partners with its customers to ensure every product that uses its ingredient is optimally formulated and well-positioned for success. Maypro: Enriching lives. Empowering innovation.
