Knowde expands growing list of healthcare ingredient suppliers
AstaReal and Stratum Nutrition® are now on Knowde
SAN JOSE, CA – FEBRUARY 14, 2024 – Nutrition, healthcare, and pharmaceutical companies can now source active ingredients from AstaReal and Stratum Nutrition® on Knowde, the first company to build software tools that transform how these companies discover, engage, and transact with ingredient, polymer, and chemical suppliers online.
Knowde makes it easier than ever before for formulators, research and development (R&D) professionals, and procurement teams to find ingredients, request documents, order samples, receive quotes, access experts who can answer technical questions, and place orders from these and hundreds of other suppliers.
“Innovation, sustainability, and the ability to replace petrochemical-based ingredients with biomaterials are key drivers in the nutrition, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries. Knowde enables formulators and researchers to find what they need fast, to help shorten development time and get new products to market faster,” said Kyle Bastien, Vice President of Sales for Knowde. “Procurement teams can simplify the process of sourcing materials and source new suppliers and alternative materials when supply chain disruptions occur.”
