Breko GmbH

About us

Breko is a leading supplier of wines, spirits, food and health ingredients, as well as raw materials for cosmetic applications and animal nutrition. Headquartered in Germany, the company has built a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and long-term partnerships across international markets. Over the past years, Breko has successfully expanded and repositioned its business in the health ingredient sector, becoming a recognized distributor of scientifically supported ingredients for dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, and wellness products.

At Breko, quality, sustainability, and transparency are at the core of everything we do. We carefully select our suppliers and manufacturing partners based not only on product quality but also on their commitment to responsible sourcing, environmental stewardship, and full traceability throughout the supply chain. We believe that high-quality products can only be achieved through long-term partnerships with companies that share our values and passion for excellence.

Our sourcing strategy prioritizes ingredients of European origin wherever possible. Today, approximately 98% of our portfolio is harvested, cultivated, or manufactured in Europe. This approach enables us to ensure short supply chains, consistent quality standards, reliable availability, and compliance with European regulatory requirements. In addition, we place a strong emphasis on organically certified ingredients and sustainable agricultural practices whenever suitable options are available.

Breko serves customers across multiple industries, including the food and beverage sector, dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, functional foods, cosmetics, animal nutrition, and pet health. Through close cooperation with internationally recognized manufacturers and research-driven companies, we offer innovative ingredient solutions that help our customers develop differentiated products supported by science, quality, and market relevance.

For more than two decades, Breko has specialized in premium polyphenol ingredients, making this category one of the company's core competencies. Polyphenols are among the most extensively researched plant-derived bioactive compounds due to their contribution to healthy aging, cardiovascular wellness, metabolic health, cognitive function, and overall vitality. Through continuous collaboration with leading manufacturers and researchers, Breko has established one of the most comprehensive portfolios of polyphenol-rich ingredients available in the European market.

Recognizing the growing consumer demand for scientifically substantiated wellness ingredients, Breko continually evaluates and introduces innovative products backed by clinical research and robust quality standards. The company's objective is not merely to distribute ingredients but to provide complete solution concepts that enable customers to accelerate product development and bring meaningful innovations to market.

A central element of this portfolio is the range of grape, wine, and olive-derived extracts produced by our long-standing French partner GRAP’SUD. These extracts are sourced from carefully selected Mediterranean raw materials and standardized to provide consistent levels of valuable polyphenols. The product range includes grape seed extracts rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), red wine extracts, grape skin extracts, and olive fruit extracts, all designed for use in dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, and cosmetic formulations.To complement these naturally derived polyphenol ingredients, Breko offers Veri-te™, a highly pure trans-resveratrol produced via precision yeast fermentation. Veri-te™ is one of the most scientifically documented resveratrol ingredients available on the market and is supported by numerous human clinical studies investigating healthy aging, cardiovascular health, cognitive performance, and metabolic wellness. Fermentation-based production provides exceptional purity, consistency, sustainability, and scalability while eliminating the agricultural limitations associated with botanical extraction.

Another innovation within the portfolio is VinoFit+®, a proprietary ingredient formulation developed to combine selected red wine polyphenols with resveratrol. VinoFit+® was designed to capture the beneficial polyphenol profile traditionally associated with moderate red wine consumption while completely eliminating alcohol intake. The ingredient offers manufacturers a convenient and science-oriented solution for the development of capsules, tablets, sachets, gummies, beverages, and functional food products targeting healthy aging and cardiovascular wellness.

Our portfolio includes a broad range of European berry extracts such as bilberry, aronia, tart cherry, blackcurrant, and elderberry, valued for their naturally occurring anthocyanins and polyphenols. In addition, we offer premium pine bark extracts with high OPC content, providing powerful antioxidant and vascular health support.

In addition to polyphenols, Breko distributes Fibersol®-2, a highly soluble digestion-resistant maltodextrin widely used as a functional dietary fiber. Fibersol®-2 offers outstanding formulation flexibility and excellent sensory characteristics, making it particularly suitable for beverages, powders, bars, gummies, and nutritional products. The ingredient is supported by extensive scientific research investigating digestive health, glycemic response, and satiety support. Due to its excellent solubility and neutral taste profile, Fibersol®-2 represents an ideal complementary ingredient for polyphenol-enriched beverage and nutritional formulations.Breko's expertise extends beyond ingredient distribution. We actively support our customers throughout the entire product development process, including ingredient selection, formulation concepts, technical documentation, quality requirements, and market-specific regulatory considerations. Our team combines commercial experience with scientific knowledge to help customers identify ingredients that align with current consumer trends and evolving market demands.

The company maintains a strong focus on scientific credibility. When selecting new products, Breko prioritizes ingredients supported by robust analytical characterization, standardized production processes, and, whenever possible, human clinical research. This commitment enables customers to build innovative product concepts on a foundation of quality, transparency, and scientific substantiation.

As market trends continue to evolve toward preventive health, healthy aging, gut health, sustainability, and plant-based nutrition, Breko remains committed to identifying and supplying ingredients that meet the needs of both manufacturers and consumers. Our growing portfolio reflects the increasing demand for natural, evidence-based solutions that support health and wellbeing in everyday life.

Today, Breko is regarded as a trusted partner for manufacturers seeking premium ingredients with European quality standards, transparent supply chains, and strong scientific foundations. Through close relationships with leading producers, a focus on sustainability, and more than 20 years of expertise in polyphenols and health ingredients, Breko continues to help customers create innovative products that meet the highest expectations of the modern marketplace.
