R&D & Innovation
We engineer them around your formulation.
Lucas is built around an in-house R&D team that custom-builds gelatin, collagen peptides, and gum arabic to your specification — bloom by bloom, peptide by peptide, certification by certification. Off-the-shelf is the exception. Custom is the default.
Manufacturing Reality
Direct manufacturer · 3 product lines
Bioactive collagen peptides, hydrolyzed collagen peptides, gum arabic — produced on our own line, end to end.
Custom halal blender · gelatin
Beef gelatin custom-blended in-house to hit your exact bloom, mesh, and viscosity targets — every batch.
From 100 to 300 bloom, 8 to 100 mesh, controlled viscosity and gel strength. We engineer to your dissolution, set time, and clarity targets — not a generic spec sheet.
Peptide fractionation tuned for skin, joint, bone, and muscle outcomes. This lab is where our flagship Bioactive Collagen Peptide line is built — and so is any custom bioactive profile your brand needs.
Send us your recipe under NDA. Our formulators iterate sample after sample with your team until the ingredient drops into your line — no friction, no surprises.
Halal, EU, FDA, GCC, China — we engineer the certification stack into the product from day one. Documentation, dossiers, lot traceability built in, not bolted on.
The Engagement
Recipe, target market, certification, volumes.
R&D builds samples. You test in your line. We iterate.
Pilot batch under full QA. Your team validates against the spec.
Full production with lot-level traceability and certificate dossier.
The Output
Each one comes out of our R&D lab. Each one is halal-certified at the source. Each one is engineered to drop into your line — not yours to ours.

Not all collagen is absorbed. This one is.
BACP-500 is our proprietary bioactive collagen peptide platform. 100% of peptides fall within the bioactive absorption window (<1000 Da) — produced via Dual-Stage Enzymatic Hydrolysis (DSEH) and validated lot-by-lot with LC-HRMS/MS peptide fingerprinting.
