The company specializes in the production and distribution of natural dietary supplements formulated with plant-based ingredients and standardized herbal extracts.[1]

History

Salugea was founded in 2012 by Marco De Gregorio, an athlete and expert in the field of dietary supplements. The project originated from the idea of creating products based on natural ingredients and standardized botanical extracts.

According to an article published by Il Sole 24 Ore, in its early years the company experienced significant growth, with an estimated annual revenue increase of around 70%.[2]

The company operates in the nutraceutical sector, with particular focus on the use of:

  • natural-origin ingredients

Its formulations target several functional areas, including:

Certifications

One of the company’s products obtained an independent certification from Nutrasource, an international third-party organization that evaluates the quality and composition of nutraceutical products. The certification process includes verification of ingredient identity, purity, label accuracy and compliance with established analytical standards.[7]

A Salugea product appears in the Nutrasource public registry of certified items, which lists products that have completed analytical verification and compliance testing.[8]

The initiative is intended to provide transparent information for researchers, professionals and developers.[13]
