Forward Thinking
We see the limitations to current practices and build better alternatives into our systems.

Guiding Principles
GRA Nutra, as part of the A4F family, is one of the leading companies in natural, sustainable technologies for fermentation and algae-based ingredients. Our success will be driven by our DNA in innovation, company culture, and core values.
Our Mission
We passionately develop natural, affordable, appealing fermentation- and algae-based and formulated ingredients for dietary supplements and functional foods and beverages based on consumer trends to promote wellbeing, produced with strong respect for the resources of our planet.
Our Values
Clean Label
Clean label is here to stay, especially now with the scrutiny of ingredients and brand track records being part of the consumer product selection criteria. Less is better when it comes to ingredient listings. With our commitment to natural, this comes easily, but we also look at how clean label definitions are evolving. For example, there is increasing use of nanoparticles in food, beverage, and dietary supplements, as well as an increasing concern about the potential health risks and safety issues associated with them. Silicon dioxide is one such product. GRA Nutra recognized this impending concern long ago and, from the start, designed production without the need for silicon dioxide, thus providing manufacturers with nanoparticle-free, stable, high performance beadlets and spray-dried powders.
Committed to Natural
Our team is passionate about sustainable, natural ingredients. Some vitamins, carotenoids, and other nutraceuticals are based on synthetic chemistry and petrochemicals, but many of these could be replaced via algae or fermentation. GRA Nutra not only has the capability, but also deep expertise in fermentation and algae production. We help our customers to make dietary supplements and functional foods and beverages for consumers seeking natural products to support their health.
