Elite Ingredients Launches Elite Glandulars, a Division Built Around Documentation

Elite Ingredients, LLC, a nutraceutical ingredient supplier based in Clifton, New Jersey, announced on September 18, 2026, the launch of Elite Glandulars, a division focused on glandular and peptide ingredients.¹ The company says the unit will supply bovine, porcine, ovine, and poultry powders to supplement brands, contract manufacturers, distributors, and pet nutrition companies.

Elite describes glandulars as a hard category to source with confidence, citing fragmented supply, varying specifications between suppliers, and documentation that arrives late or in pieces. “Elite Glandulars was created to give formulators a more direct, reliable way to source glandular and peptide ingredients,” explained Lorraine Aboughanam, vice president of sales and marketing at Elite Ingredients. “We wanted to build something that combines product quality, documentation depth, and a more straightforward customer experience.”

What Documentation Comes With the Products?

According to the release, every product can ship with a Certificate of Analysis, a Specification Sheet, a Safety Data Sheet, a Manufacturing Flow Chart, and an Animal Origin Statement.

The company’s website adds that products are tested for identity, microbial limits, and heavy metals, and that independent third-party testing is available on request.² Elite Ingredients noted that documentation is available on request with every shipment, so QA and regulatory reviews can begin when material arrives, and it targets quotes on pricing and availability within three business days.

What Does the Elite Glandulars Range Include?

The division’s website lists 119 SKUs across eight animal origins: bovine, porcine, ovine, deer, equine, chicken, duck, and goose. Bovine, porcine, and ovine each account for 25 SKUs, deer and equine for 14 each, and the poultry origins for 16 combined.

Elite Ingredients says the powders suit capsule, tablet, and functional-food formulations as well as raw pet food, functional pet supplements, and animal feed. The site adds that liver and organ powders can serve as palatability components in dry pet food blends.

What Is the Carrier-Free Line?

Elite Ingredients’s carrier-free line consists of single-ingredient powders with no maltodextrin, fillers, or flow agents, the company says. The website notes that many glandular powders on the market are cooked and spray-dried with maltodextrin as a carrier, and it positions the carrier-free line for clean-label supplements and pet products and for formulators who want to control their own excipient systems. Carrier-free options are listed for all eight origins.

What Else Should Buyers Know About Elite Glandulars?

The website says raw glandular materials are certified BSE-free and stated to be free of pesticides, antibiotics, and GMOs at the point of origin. It also describes all items as pure and non-irradiated, and tags the bovine line as grass-fed and grass-finished.

Elite Ingredients was founded in 2009 and offers more than 4,000 botanicals, nutraceuticals, and specialty ingredients, which the company says lets customers source glandulars and the rest of a formula through one account team. The company’s website says trial quantities are available on request and as flexible minimum order quantities.
