Who We Serve
- Pet brand owners building premium supplement, treat, and food lines.
- Contract manufacturers filling soft chews, powders, oils, kibbles, and treats.
- Veterinary product formulators developing supplements for therapeutic and preventive applications.
- Co-packers running multi-species production (canine, feline, equine, livestock).
What Pet Formulators Care About
- Species-specific safety — what’s safe for humans isn’t always safe for pets, and vice versa.
- Palatability — bitter or strong-smelling actives don’t survive a soft chew.
- Format compatibility — soft chews, baked treats, oils, powders, and kibble each have their own constraints.
- Documented evidence — pet parents read studies, and so do veterinary buyers.
- AAFCO alignment — for ingredients used in complete-and-balanced food applications.
GCI’s Branded Ingredients for Pet Nutrition
- PrebioSure™ — digestive wheat germ extract whose research origins are in veterinary intestinal-morphology work, conducted at the Veterinary Medical School in Budapest before the human supplement applications were ever launched. A natural fit for pet gut-health products.
- MycoSure™ — organic three-mushroom complex for pet immune and gut formulations; high beta-glucan density at low daily dose.
- HumicSure™ — humic and fulvic acid complex with documented use in agricultural, veterinary, and companion-animal applications.
- PEASure™ — palmitoylethanolamide is well-established in veterinary applications, particularly in companion animals for comfort and recovery support.
- Diehl’s Own® CM — cetyl myristoleate; widely used in canine and feline joint-comfort products.
- SerraSure™ — serratiopeptidase for veterinary recovery and joint applications.
- DHA3Sure™ — algal DHA for cognitive, coat, and prenatal pet applications, without the contamination concerns of fish-derived omega-3s.
Ingredients NOT Recommended for Pet Applications
GCI Sure™ also means knowing when not to recommend an ingredient. GarliSure™ is not recommended for dog or cat formulations — garlic is contraindicated in canine and feline diets due to thiosulfate toxicity. We will flag this directly when species-specific applications come up.
Common Companion Ingredients in Our Range
Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides, taurine, L-carnitine, B-complex vitamins, vitamin E, fish oils (where applicable), and a broad range of botanical extracts qualified for animal applications.
Common Formulation Challenges We Help With
- Replacing a fish-oil DHA source with algal DHA (DHA3Sure™) to eliminate ocean-borne contamination concerns in pet products.
- Building a gut-health soft-chew line around a clinically positioned prebiotic that wasn’t originally invented for humans (PrebioSure™’s veterinary origin is a real story to tell).
- Adding a comfort or joint-support claim to a senior pet line using PEASure™, SerraSure™, or Diehl’s Own® CM.
- Sourcing AAFCO-compatible ingredients for a complete-and-balanced food application.
Common Dosage Formats
Soft chews, baked treats, powders, oils and liquid drops, kibble fortifications, sachets, dental chews, and water additives.
Regulatory & Quality Posture
Pet nutrition has its own regulatory frame — AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials), NASC (National Animal Supplement Council), FDA-CVM for veterinary applications, and EU FEEDAP / EFSA for European pet products. GCI’s documentation set supports pet qualification:
- Specification Sheet and current COA per lot.
- Heavy metals, microbiology, and pesticide testing.
- Allergen, GMO, and country-of-origin declarations.
- Species-safety guidance for ingredients with known contraindications.
