Our mission has always been to push beyond the conventional, and as our founder and CEO, Sebastian Balcombe, put it:

“A lot of companies in our industry are just looking at the published literature that’s out there … We don’t build our ingredients based off old existing data. We go and do the discovery work. We’re pushing that envelope on all our ingredients and technologies.”

A big thank you to Claudia Adrien and NutraIngredients-USA.com for this insightful article. It’s rewarding to see Specnova’s journey in innovation and patent strategy featured so thoughtfully.
