HUNDREDS OF CONTACTS,

Technology & Transparency.............4-5

Thousands of Benefits for You! Recently I traveled to China to meet with several current and prospective factories to discuss additional ingredients to add to the ingredientsonline.com platform. From there, Tony Xue, General Manager of the Shanghai office and I set out on a trip to both CPHI in Mumbai, India and HI in Frankfurt, Germany.

During our first stop in Mumbai, we attended the CPHI event, met with the director of Pharmacy Council, visited several factories and successfully introduced ingredientsonline.com to the Indian market. The North American ingredient market ranks No. 1 for India exporters and factories, which makes perfect sense for these Indian factories to join ingredientsonline.com, the only e-commerce platform to promote their brands. The quality of herbal ingredients India has to offer is truly amazing and we look forward to adding these ingredients to our platform. With a greater understanding of the quality requirements of the North American customer, Indian factories are eager to use ingredientsonline.com to increase their reputation and awareness plus gain market share for their featured ingredients.

Frankfurt, Germany was our next stop where we attended HI, Europe and found a display of high-end ingredient suppliers representing many European countries. We located some potential factories to join the ingredientsonline.com platform with ingredients like spirulina, natural caffeine, natural colorants, functional extracts, proteins from many different sources and much more. One of the leading dairy factories told us that their North American business has been shrinking. Previously they had a sales team but now with only one sales person, the ability to partner with ingredientsonline.com and sell their ingredients online will help them gain back their market share. Many factories commented about the easy-to-use interface and complete transparency of our platform and are interested in using ingredientsonline.com to open or strengthen their North American business.

We also met with UBM, the organizer of both events, and were very impressed with their ideas to help promote the ingredientsonline.com platform to their global audience. We will be working with them on a series of worldwide events for 2017 where both factories and manufactures will be able to enjoy the benefits of ingredientsonline.com. For a complete list of 2017 events, see page 18.

After this trip, it is expected that our product line of ingredients will quickly increase and our customer’s one-stop shopping experience will be greatly enhanced. The Internet is the new normal for all business transactions and our goal is to be your first choice for the highest quality ingredients at the lowest, factory-direct prices. Our e-commerce Supply Chain Solution is the future and the success of this trip to China, India, and Europe is just the beginning of our continued effort to bring you new ingredients and benefits to help you achieve your goals.

VENDOR PRESENTED

NEW 4TH GENERATION OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENT INGREDIENT XinDu Bio-Tech, LLC is proud to introduce the world’s first 4th generation dietary supplement ingredients. We offer a line of whole-food raw materials derived from proprietary extracts of the Hericium Erinaceus mushroom, commonly known as Lion’s Mane.

This represents a quantum leap forward in nutrition. It replaces the need of mix-and match multiple ingredients in a formula through Bio-Transformation Technology™. This process infuses a myriad of powerful organic, bio-active ingredients into a singular whole-food source by controlling its growing medium. The science behind the process is unparalleled, and the results are spectacular.

HISTORY OF USE Culinary and medicinal use of mushrooms in Chinese culture dates back over 2,500 years. Mushrooms are a superb agent of health due to their complete nutritional makeup. However, significant research over the past 20 years has verified what traditional Chinese practitioners have known for centuries, medicinal mushrooms are phenomenal beacons of health.

LION’S MANE SUPERIORITY

DNA sequencing in the early 1990’s discovered that fungi are not actually a part of the plant kingdom. Mushrooms are now regarded as their own kingdom with each class and family boasting unique physiological properties. Mushrooms possess their own immune systems and are intelligent.

Scientists discovered a unique polysaccharide in Lion’s Mane they call BRM (Biological Response Modfier), which most closely translated from Eastern culture purports “magical” functions due to its synergistic capabilities. Hericium Erinaceus is the richest source of BRM. The 21st century is recognized as the “century of the mushroom polysaccharide” in Chinese medicine.

A NEW DISCOVERY

THE BIO-TRANSFORMATION PROCESS

In 1983, a unique strain of Lion’s Mane was discovered in the mountains of Central China. It has superior bio-activity to other varieties of Lion’s Mane native to North America, Europe and Asia – a fact that motivated highly respected Chinese businessman, He Shu Jin, the Champion of and founder of a large pharmaceutical manufacturing company.

The Bio-Transformation Technology™ utilizes directional culturing and bi-directional Transformation and has multiple patent-pending. This ability to organically infuse Hericium Erinaceus with the specific bio-activity of other medicinal plants and herbs means this raw material could target and transform specific health challenges even more effectively.

BREAKTHROUGH NUTRITIONAL INNOVATION

We begin with nutrient-dense organic material like corn millet caving as a nutrient substrate. We blend that with carefully selected Chinese herbs with a long and documented history of use in Chinese medicine to deliver specific functionality.

We never utilize genetically-modified (non-GMO) or synthetic materials.

He Shu Jin has dedicated over 34 years into the research and development of this evolutionary nutritional technology. He and his team have developed and perfected Bio-Transformation Technology™. Bio-Transformation Technology™ utilizes the remarkable characteristic for this mushroom to assimilate organic bio-activity and benefits from its growing medium while retaining its naturally-occurring bio-activity.

Supported by decades of laboratory science, university research,

12

clinical application, and protected by patents-pending in China and the United States, in 2014 he built a multimillion-dollar, 60,000 square foot US production and extraction facility specifically designed and dedicated to supplying this 4th generation raw material.

INGREDIENTSONLINE.COM • WINTER 2017

Next, we meticulously place the Hericium Erinaceus strain into a patent-pending culturing container with the nutrient and functional substrates. Each strain is cultured in a climatecontrolled laboratory environment for approximately 40 days, allowing the strain to consume all the substrate and organic bioactive compounds.

MARKET TRENDS

ost products are affected by overcapacity and limited growth in demand and maintained a weak trend in the first half of 2016. But with the tightening of environmental protection policies, prices rising in basic energy of coal and a substantial increase in domestic freight due to overloading restriction, some factories have a strong desire to increase prices after several years of loss.

Factories that produce Vitamin C and Taurine are seriously looking into price increases. From the beginning of the year, prices of these products began to increase, followed by most of the other products. From Q4, the prices began to increase substantially.

MARKET OVERVIEW OF CHINESE INGREDIENTS AND A 2017 FORECAST ASCORBIC ACID SERIES

CHONDROITIN SULFATE USP

The price of Vitamin C series products continue to increase since Q4 of 2016 for the following reasons:

Slaughter increased in winter so raw materials are sufficient in the market. The current production has certain environmental protection pressure, but does not affect production. Since June, the price of this product decreased substantially and reached its lowest point in recent years. The current price is still in a low level, but stable. For the 2017 market, we believe price will rise steadily.

• Vitamin C factories are all under deficit due to the low price in recent years resulting in a strong desire to raise prices.

• Inventory is gradually reduced after summer maintenance.

• Coal prices doubled compared with the same period last year and energy costs increased.

• The new supply of corn cannot be dry due to the wet weather this year, which has created a short supply. The price has increased about 7% from the middle of this year.

• The government requested most of the chemical and pharmaceutical factories in Hebei Province to stop production to reduce pollution emissions from November 16th through December 31st, which is leading to a shortage in Vitamin C supply.

The two major Vitamin C plants, CSPC and NCPC, are located in Hebei.

The market trend for 2017: Speculation is that some new large factories are ready to produce Vitamin C and these products will enter the market near Q1. The capacity in China is still huge, and in the long term, Vitamin C prices are still hard to increase. There is a prediction for a possible price fall in Q1 or Q2 of 2017.

ACESULFAME-K 2016 review is tight supply and the prices are rising slowly. The main factors are: production of China's second largest AK factory decreased because of bankruptcy rumors. The major manufacturers of Diketene (AK raw materials) stopped production in the first half of the year, which lead to the tight supply of AK raw material and rising costs. The increased price of sucralose caused the demand shift to AK. We expect AK prices will be basically stable in the first half of 2017.

CAFFEINE At the end of 2015, a domestic factory stopped production due to an explosion. The supply was tight in 2016 and the prices are stable at a high level. In November, the world's largest producer (CSPC) was affected by environmental policy. Due to this, production in December may be subject to greater restrictions. This could lead to supply shortage in caffeine, which will affect the price in Q1 or Q2 of 2017.

INGREDIENTSONLINE.COM • WINTER 2017

CREATINE MONO The price decreased in 2016 due to lower raw material costs and RMB-USD exchange rate fluctuations. The price will possibly decrease in 2017 due to the new production capacity from some new factories.

IBCAA Prices increased from Q2 on due to short supply on L-Leucine.

For now, L-Leucine price is almost stable (supply of L-Leucine fermentation grade is abundant), so we predict the price will be stable in Q1 of 2017.

ISOLEUCINE AND VALINE The market for both products were weak in 2016, mainly because of over supply. We predict prices will keep the same trend at least in Q1 of 2017.

L-ARGININE & L-ARGININE HCL Under the influence of the national environmental protection policy, the output of L-arginine produced by duck hair hydrolysis has reduced greatly, leading to the tight supply and increase of price. But the factory that uses fermentation process, such as CJ, is not affected and their production and supply is stable. In 2017, there is a possibility of a sharp price increase in L-arginine, however, the price should remain stable.

L-CARNITINE SERIES Environmental costs and raw material costs are rising and price is expected to rise in 2017.

L-CITRULLINE The price of raw materials (L-arginine) rose by 25-35% and the supply of L-arginine is tight due to government control of pollution emissions.

The main factories of L-citruline drastically reduced production due

to relocation or retrofitting; so supply is very tight and the price will continue to increase until Q1 of 2017. Factory’s relocation, technology transformation or expansion is expected to return to normal in Q1 of 2017. From the beginning of Q2, the supply will be sufficient and the price should fall.

L-GLUTAMINE Prices hit an historic low point during the 1st half of 2016. However, starting in June the price got hot and demand increased. Some factories have run out of stock since September, so prices keeps rising.

We predict price will rise steadily in 2017.

L-LEUCINE Under the influence of the national environmental protection policy, the output of L-leucine produced by duck hair hydrolysis is reduced greatly, leading to the tight supply and the increase of price. But the factory that uses fermentation process is not affected; their production and supply is stable. In 2017, the possibility of sharp rise in L-leucine is small; the price should remain stable or decrease.

NIACIN & NIACINAMIDE (VITAMIN B3) The price of raw materials increased and product prices also rose slightly. The production from the major factories is average and some of the factories plan to expand production. There are some new factories starting to produce Niacin and the global capacity will increase further. In 2017, there is a small possibility of a sharp rise in price, but for now, the price should remain stable.

MARKET TRENDS

THIAMINE HCL/THIAMINE MONONITRATE (VITAMIN B1) Market overview of 2016 is that supply continued to tighten and prices rose slowly. Considering the price is already at a very high level and there is the possibility for a new comer to step into the market, we predict prices may decrease in Q2 or the second half of 2017.

TURMERIC (CURCUMIN) The increased price of raw materials resulted in price increase of products. The price of raw materials will be determined in February of 2017.

XYLITOL During the first half of 2016, the supply was abundant and the market was flat. But from Q3 on, at the effect of environmental protection policy, supply of D-xylose (Xylitol’s raw material) began to tighten in Shandong Province, which is the main producing area of D-xylose and xylitol. Prices started to slightly increase from Q4 and the price of xylitol is rising substantially with shipment lead-time projected at more than 45 to 60 days. Some factories are accepting orders more cautiously and have refused blanket orders from certain trading companies. Considering current situation, we predict supply will continue to tighten and prices will slowly rise in the first half of 2017.

Disclaimer: The forecast information is speculation and opinion only. ingredientsonline.com is providing this as a complimentary service and is not responsible for the information contained in this document.

PYRIDOXINE HCL (VITAMIN B6) Prices are moving down from middle of year to now and will continue to decrease in 2017. The main reason is, in June of 2016 a new facility opened in Shanghai and market supply is more abundant.

SUCRALOSE After continuously increasing from Q1 to Q3, the current price is still at a high level. The supply is beginning to ease and the factories basically have stock, but the price is 10% higher than the futures price. The factories are working hard to increase production so as to sell more quantities under the current hot market conditions.

The situation was the same from 2012-2013. The price will rapidly decline after one year of rising and we expect the price will begin to decline in Q2 of 2017.

TAURINE Taurine supply is in a stable state at present. There were a number of Taurine factories closed in the past five years and the existing factories have no clear expansion plans. The supply has also been effectively controlled. With the rising costs of all aspects, the factories have a strong desire to increase price, no longer blindly pursuing output and sales and paying more attention to a reasonable profit. The price of Taurine continues to rise from the beginning of Q2 in 2016. The price has increased more than 25% until this month and is expected to rise steadily in 2017.

to get to a level of quality management system integration with the contract laboratory partners, additional work has to be done to provide a complete picture of the company requirements and expectations. A thorough review of a company’s current state laboratory needs, shortcomings and constraints is a good starting point. If contract laboratories are routinely used, it is imperative to include the historical performance highs and lows, data trends and challenges. This information can provide valuable insight into areas that need improvement, as well as areas of service that have been exceptional.

One important aspect that is sometimes missed in this preparation stage is the analysis of the future strategic direction of the organization and its need for innovative analytical solutions to complement the research and development pipeline. It is

QUALITY CONTROL CORNER

not uncommon for organizations to have departments that are isolated and out of sync with each other which, in turn, can distort the review of critical issues and needs.

A major cornerstone of any successful company is its highly engaged employees and teams. The contract laboratory vetting process should place significant emphasis on the engagement level of the laboratory group through discussions related to quality, process, expectations and transparency. The ability to freely discuss the challenges and critical issues identified in the companywide review will reveal how the laboratory group solves complex problems and offers customized solutions.

Over the years, a significant amount of time and effort has been put into educational information related to ISO 17025 accreditation and its significance for testing laboratories. A vast majority of companies are aware that this accreditation is specific to the methods of analysis listed on the certificate scope. One area that is commonly overlooked has to do with the complexity of the matrices

that vary from one product to another.

Understanding the types of samples the laboratory analyzes on a routine basis is very important even if the method of analysis is on the ISO 17025 scope. Sampling, compositing and preparation steps for products in powder, tablet, capsule, soft gel, bar, and ready-todrink delivery systems may be significantly different based on the laboratory’s expertise and familiarity with these matrices which could be the difference between a conforming and a non-conforming analysis result. Complicating this matter further is the continuously evolving composition of products; botanical extracts, enzyme blends, probiotics, chelated and encapsulated ingredients add a layer of complexity to the analytical process.

track record will gauge how much effort and value is invested by the laboratory for future advancement. This will help in determining whether the laboratory is forward-thinking and a leader in its category, or if they are merely following the lead of others.

Evaluating a contract laboratory’s involvement in testing innovation and quality improvements in the analytical communities is another aspect that needs a closer look. This is especially valuable for strategic partnership evaluations where novel, cutting edge sciencebased technology is highly desired. Analytical research and development emphasis and

In the age of automation and data-transfer, the ability to get personalized service is becoming more difficult. Understanding the businesses needs and aligning the operational efficiencies between multiple units in the quality management system requires that clear lines of communication are established and maintained. The communication channels extend far beyond the typical customer services communications. The ability to access the highly valuable technical experts within an organization in a timely manner is essential for real time, data-driven decision making. The smooth transition of effective communication into actions and solutions will be the differentiator in this business where high quality is expected, and completion timelines of analysis are constantly compressed.
