From plant to extract
Our cultivation operations began in 2008. Today, we combine cultivation, extraction and purification to produce plant alkaloids and extracts.
Cultivation and traceability
We grow the leaf material used to produce voacangine. Our proprietary Voacanga variety is a fast-growing shrub harvested throughout the year. We intercrop it in coconut plantations.
Growing our own raw material shortens the supply chain and makes its origin easier to trace.
Extraction and purification
Our laboratory is next to our production facility. We develop extraction processes in the laboratory and take them through pilot scale to production.
We purify voacangine and coronaridine by preparative chromatography at multi-kilogram scale.
Our products
We supply voacangine and coronaridine as reaction-grade freebases, typically 95% purity or higher. Other purities are available.
