Who We Are
Eleonor started in 2007 as an R&D center with a focus on improving the bioavailability and bio-accessibility of poorly soluble natural ingredients for the Supplement and Health & Wellness markets, both human and animal.
Twofold Objective: First, we offer our own line of proprietary Cold Water Dispersible and Soluble powders. Secondly, we custom develop high performance ingredients with specific functionalities for brands and ingredient manufacturers to give them a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Innovation: Our R & D programs and technology allow us to offer innovative and unique ingredients that are protected by international patents.

Benefits of Eleonor’s LEO-HB® Technology: Active ingredients may elicit a variety of outcomes (inter-individual variability) based on gender, intestinal flora, the consumption of prescription drugs, and other factors. Furthermore, the same end user (intra-individual variability) may experience a variety of outcomes based on lifestyle changes (alcohol and tobacco consumption, change in physical activity…) or whether the active ingredient is consumed with or outside of a meal.
Our LEO-HB® Technology addresses both inter and intra individual variabilities. Consequently, end users experience better and more consistent outcomes when using products that contain ingredients using LEO-HB® Technology.
Bioavailability: The measure of how much of a substance is able to pass into circulation and reach the target area to be used by the body.

Mode of Action (MOA) of the LEO-HB Technology: By increasing the solubility of active ingredients, regardless of pH, our technology allows for a greater bio-accessibility as well as for a greater bioavailability, by improving, amongst other things, both inter and intra individual variabilities.
Bio-accessibility: The capacity of an active ingredient to be released from its support (matrix) and become dispersed and available for absorption in the digestive system.
