About Us

Founded in 2022, NUTRACONNECT is a nutraceutical business growth accelerator for global nutraceutical ingredient manufacturers who are looking to expand their business into the fragmented yet booming Asia-Pacific region. NUTRACONNECT offers end to end solutions to global nutraceutical ingredient manufacturers to build a sustainable foundation for growth in the Asia-Pacific region. 

The Asia-Pacific region is the largest market for nutraceutical products and is growing rapidly. Nutraceutical ingredient manufacturers who have traditionally focused on the US market are setting their sight on the Asia-Pacific region to deliver their future growth.

The Asia-Pacific region is not a homogeneous market like the US and EU. Consumer behavior, regulations, languages etc. change from country to country making the Asia-Pacific region a complex region to operate in. A single decision error can result into a significant loss of time, effort, and money.

NUTRACONNECT Increases your speed to market

We provide hassle free access to the
entire APAC region or specific countries through our growing community of partners. We cover over 14 countries in the APAC region.

NUTRACONNECT reduces your investment

Building your own sales team can be
expensive. NUTRACONNECT acts as your sales and operation team in the region for a
fraction of that cost providing you access to market, customer, and regulatory information to ensure you make the right business decisions.

NUTRACONNECT reduces your risk

potentially lead to legal and financial concerns.
