Blue California

Blue California is a private, vertically integrated ingredient biotechnology company that develops and manufactures science-backed, nature-based ingredients for dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages, cosmetics, pet nutrition, and related consumer health markets. The company focuses on healthy aging, wellness, and delivery technologies, with commercial branded ingredients including ErgoActive ergothioneine, L-TeaActive l-theanine, Taxifolin BC-DHQ, hydroxytyrosol, CoQ10, vitamin K2, and fermentation-derived NMN. In addition to ingredient commercialization, Blue California offers microencapsulation through its FineCap platform and also supplies flavors and fragrances. Its business model is business-to-business rather than therapeutics-focused drug development, so its pipeline is best understood as a portfolio of commercial ingredients rather than clinical drug candidates. The company appears to be active and privately held, headquartered in Rancho Santa Margarita, California.
