What buyers come for
Single-organ bovine powders, milled to your spec.
Every one of them human grade. A full single-organ and glandular range, plus collagen and colostrum.
Bovine Heart
High-fat muscle that needs real milling capability.
Bovine Kidney
A natural source of B12, selenium, and DAO enzymes.
Why the material is different
Heat treated at a minimum of 145°F for seven minutes. Not HPP.
Most organ and glandular powder in the supplement trade is high-pressure pasteurized, usually on FDA pet-downgraded material. We raise the temperature gently instead: a minimum of 145°F for seven minutes, higher where the program calls for it. It comes out looking almost rare.
- Human-grade raw material, never pet-downgraded, under USDA or FDA inspection
- No chemical bath, no irradiation, no high-pressure step
- Freeze-dried, then milled in-house to your density and mesh spec
- Certificate of analysis, lab results, and a specification sheet with every order
Runs clean on your line
Two mills and a milling scientist, in-house.
Most freeze dryers have no milling capability at all. They ship dried material out to a separate co-packer, which is exactly where lot-to-lot drift comes from.
We run a hammer mill and a cryogenic mill with a milling scientist on staff, so we hit your density and mesh spec and hold it batch to batch. High-fat material such as heart usually needs cryogenic milling to reach a fine mesh at all.
Where it ends up
What our material is formulated into.
The same bulk powder goes into very different finished products. These are the five categories our customers formulate for.
Supplements and nutraceuticals
Single-organ and multi-organ powders for capsules, tablets, and blends, milled to your density and mesh spec.
Pet food and treats
The material starts as human-grade food, never pet-downgraded, and is heat treated rather than chemically processed. The food we eat is what goes to our pets.
Camping and travel food
Freeze-dried protein that is shelf-stable, light, and rehydrates for backcountry and expedition formats.
Emergency and preparedness food
Long-shelf-life nutrient density for emergency rations and preparedness kits.
Specialty snacks and ingredients
Bulk freeze-dried ingredients for specialty snack lines and food manufacturers.
One supply chain, two companies
We distribute what our own factory makes.
Gembra Health is the distributor. Flatiron Food Factory, our sister company, is the USDA-inspected manufacturer. Same ownership, same building, same standards, ten minutes from the warehouse your order ships from.
Most competitors are importers and brokers. They can’t tell you what happened to the material before it reached them. We can, because we produced it.
What that vertical integration buys you
- Traceability that does not stop at a broker's paperwork
- Mesh and density specs held by the people who milled the powder
- Domestic warehousing, so lead times aren’t an ocean crossing
- One phone call covers sourcing, processing, and supply
Buyer questions
What buyers ask before they call.
The terms, and the questions buyers actually raise before they order. Everything here applies across the catalog; pricing, current origin availability, and lead time come back with your quote.
What is your minimum order quantity?
10 kg per ingredient. That is deliberate: it lets a customer qualify a lot on its own equipment, or run a first production batch, without committing to a year of inventory. Volume pricing applies as you scale, and we can supply through full production runs.
What documentation comes with my order?
A certificate of analysis, lab results, and a specification sheet come with every order. The certificate covers microbial testing and heavy metals screening. Past those three, every buyer’s file asks for something different, so tell us what yours needs and our quality team provides it. Allergen statements and country-of-origin records are routine requests. Nutritional analysis is one we can assist with rather than supply, because the numbers depend on your finished formulation.
Is this human-grade material or pet-downgraded material?
Human-grade, under USDA inspection. Most organ powders sold into the supplement category are produced under FDA guidelines using pet-downgraded raw material, which is then treated with high pressure, chemicals, or irradiation to control pathogens. We start with human-grade raw material under USDA oversight instead. That is true whether the finished powder goes into a capsule or into a pet treat.
Where is the raw material actually sourced?
Our flagship tier is US grass-fed, human-grade raw material processed under USDA inspection at our sister company’s facility in Loveland, Colorado. We also distribute material from New Zealand, Australia, South America, and China, all of it stocked in the United States. The New Zealand, Australian, and South American material is HPP-processed to those regions’ standards. Every origin is real supply, and we tell you plainly which one a given lot is. Country of origin is documented on every shipment.
How fast can I get a quote, and what is the lead time?
A quote comes back within 12 to 24 hours. Tell us the ingredient, the volume, and the mesh or density spec you need, and we return pricing, current origin availability, and lead time. Shipping is the part most suppliers cannot match: material already in stock ships in 7 to 10 business days, because it is sitting in the warehouse rather than on a boat. A custom run is 6 to 8 weeks.
Can Gembra Health be my one-stop shop?
Yes, and that is what the two companies are for. Most distributors are brokers with no plant behind them. Our sister company Flatiron Food Factory manufactures in the same building, so we can either source your material or have it made, and packaging runs from bulk to retail-ready with lot coding and labeling, in house for some customers. Encapsulation, pouching, and work past that scale go to trusted co-packers and encapsulators that Flatiron introduces and manages, most of them local. Tell us what the finished product needs to be and we will work out the material and manage the relationships from there.
Is there any filler or flow agent in the powder?
No. Single-ingredient bulk powders, no fillers, no flow agents, no additives.
