Navigating the complex landscape of high-purity natural carotenoid sourcing for modern health industries.
In the highly regulated global nutraceutical, cosmetic, and functional food markets, Lycopene Extract (typically sourced from Solanum lycopersicum) has transitioned from a basic functional additive to a cornerstone active ingredient. Industrial buyers require standardized, highly bioavailable concentrations of natural Lycopene (ranging from 5% to 90% in powder, oil suspension, and cold-water-dispersible beadlet configurations) to support targeted physiological formulations.
Strategic B2B procurement is driven by macro-consumer shifts toward clean-label botanical ingredients. Lycopene's potent antioxidant profile—especially its capacity to neutralize singlet oxygen and protect lipids, proteins, and DNA from oxidative damage—makes it a high-demand active in cardiovascular support, prostate health formulas, systemic UV protection cosmetics, and natural cellular anti-aging complexes.
"Procurement directors prioritize suppliers who guarantee stable material chemistry, low levels of heavy metal residues, pesticide compliance, and non-GMO documentation. Reliable supply chains require consistent access to agricultural inputs and validated, low-emission processing technologies."
Enhancing yield, stability, and bioavailability through state-of-the-art green processing methodologies.
By leveraging fluid carbon dioxide under high pressures, we extract natural Lycopene at low temperatures. This green extraction methodology preserves the sensitive all-trans isomeric structure of the carotenoid molecule while avoiding toxic petrochemical solvents like hexane, leaving zero harmful residues in the final material.
Lycopene is inherently lipophilic and highly sensitive to heat, light, and oxidation. Our advanced microencapsulation process wraps Lycopene molecules inside food-grade starch, gum arabic, or gelatin-free matrices. This converts a fat-soluble active into stable, cold-water-dispersible (CWD) beadlets, ideal for dry beverage mixes and hard capsules.
Every single production run is quantitatively verified using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). This guarantees exact target active concentration, measures residual volatile solvents, and verifies compliance with strict international safety limits.

Andy Biotech is a leading manufacturer and supplier of premium-quality, scientifically-validated plant extracts for the food, beverage, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Founded on a commitment to purity, potency, and innovation, we bridge the gap between nature’s potential and your product development goals.
Our core strength lies in our vertically integrated process, which gives us complete control from seed to extract. We partner with a network of certified organic and sustainably managed farms to ensure the integrity of every raw material. Our state-of-the-art extraction facilities employ advanced technologies, including supercritical solvent and water-based methods, to preserve the full spectrum of bioactive compounds without compromising on environmental responsibility.
Tailored botanical solutions optimizing product efficiency, stability, and consumer appeal across four primary market sectors.
Lycopene is heavily researched for its benefits in prostate health, cardiovascular function, and cellular longevity. We supply premium standardized beadlets and oil suspensions specifically configured for softgel encapsulation and tableting, protecting the active chemical isomers against oxidation during processing.
Often referred to as an "oral sunscreen," Lycopene protects dermal structures from light-induced aging. Our cosmetic-grade oil suspensions and high-purity powders are formulated for clean beauty products, providing cellular-level defense against oxidative stress and UV damage.
As food safety regulations increasingly restrict artificial red dyes, Lycopene serves as a natural alternative. Our cold-water-dispersible (CWD) powders provide vibrant, stable red hues for plant-based meat alternatives, beverages, and dairy products, keeping clean-label ingredients appealing.
We implement quality standards that surpass regular regulatory baselines, offering complete material safety and absolute transparency.
Quality and safety are non-negotiable. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing in our in-house laboratories, equipped with HPLC, GC-MS, and other advanced analytical instruments. We guarantee compliance with stringent international standards, including ISO, NSF, cGMP, and related certifications. Our commitment to transparency means you receive comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for every product, ensuring traceability and peace of mind.
It’s one thing to just meet the regulations when providing ingredients, but when an ingredient supplier exceeds those standards and imposes even higher ones in its products, that is a sign of a company who cares. Andy Biotech takes extra steps to ensure that our independent third-party laboratory-tested ingredients you want meet our standards as well as your own.
Our extensive portfolio features a wide range of standardized extract, ratio extract, and custom blends tailored to specific formulations. Whether you need Echinacea for immune support, Turmeric with high curcuminoid content, or innovative botanical blends for skincare, our technical team works closely with you to deliver exactly what your product requires. Andy Biotech provides high quality Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Lycopene Tomato Extract, Lutein Marigold Extract, Aloe Vera Gel Freeze Dried powder Aloe Vera Extract and other natural ingredients to food, health and nutraceutical industries.
Andy was born in a small village close to Hanjiang River in Hanzhong Shaanxi province, China. Thirty years ago, when she was still a little child, she caught a cold, but the medical services were not available unless the family crossed over high mountains to find a hospital. Thus, Andy's grandfather first used Echinacea leaves soaked in water for her treatment, then he dug Echinacea root and shredded into pulp and squeezed the liquid for Andy to drink one spoon every two hours. Andy recovered after this treatment.
As a child, Andy watched his grandfather harness the healing power of plants in his humble garden. His ancient herbal remedies were not just treatments; they were magic. That early wonder blossomed into a profound passion for plant extracts and a deep respect for nature’s wisdom. From that time on, little Andy swore that he would help to spread all herbs all over the world to give benefit to more people.
This personal journey is the heart of Andy Biotech. It’s why Andy Biotech is dedicated to researching and delivering the purest, most effective botanical solutions for modern wellness. Andy’s lifelong vow is to honor that tradition by innovating for a healthier future, empowering lives through the timeless power of plants.
