Lucid Colloids

Lucid Colloids is an Indian specialty ingredients and hydrocolloids manufacturer that produces, markets, and distributes natural and modified guar gum and related hydrocolloid derivatives. The company serves multiple end markets including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, home and personal care, pet food, and industrial applications. In healthcare-related markets, Lucid supplies pharmaceutical and nutrition excipients such as guar gum, xanthan gum, pectin, carrageenan, and carboxymethyl cellulose for use in formulations including tablets and syrups. The business appears to be a commercial-stage ingredient supplier rather than a therapeutic drug developer, with manufacturing operations in India and overseas subsidiaries in the United States and Europe. Lucid traces its origins to Indian Gum Industries, established in 1958, and operates with in-house R&D, quality, and application development capabilities.
