About us
Fruitomed is a Quebec enterprise specialized in the production of natural products with a high concentration of polyphenols.
THE PLANTATION
In 2010, our great adventure began with the creation of our company, Au Versant du Sureau, located in Adstock, Chaudière-Appalaches, Quebec.
That same year also marked the beginning of the plantation of elderberry fields. For 15 years, delicious elderberries have been carefully cultivated over an area of 17 acres. These varieties, specifically developed by Agriculture Canada for fruit production, are among the richest in antioxidants and are entirely edible.
PROCESSING FACILITY
In 2014, we simultaneously founded Fruitomed (which means "Fruits with Medicinal Properties"), a company specializing in the processing of Quebec's small fruits for the production of natural health products with a high concentration of polyphenols.
The 6,000 sq. ft. facility holds a natural product manufacturing license issued by Health Canada (license 302371), ensuring that the production process complies with Health Canada's quality requirements and controls.
Fruitomed also maintains a Preventive Control Plan, overseen by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), ensuring strict traceability of ingredients, from their arrival at the facility to their distribution.
CANADA FRUITS
Fruitomed is proud to source exclusively from Quebec small fruit producers for the production of its products. These partners must cultivate high-quality fruits using organic or natural farming practices.
FRUITOMED
Proudly Québécois, FRUITOMED specializes in the production of antioxidant-rich products.
Discover our products made from medicinal ingredients with proven health benefits and a high concentration of polyphenols, such as anthocyanins, quercetins, rutin, resveratrol, dihydromyricetins, proanthocyanidins, catechins, etc. These bioactive molecules are extracted from the most antioxidant-rich fruits grown in Quebec (elderberry, haskap, aronia, black currant, wild blueberry, and cranberry).
All our products, grouped under the IMMUNIA® brand, are certified by Health Canada and have an NPN. They are used to modulate and regulate the immune system, promote gut microbiota balance, and for their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral properties, as well as their benefits for visual health.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
To offer effective health products, it is essential to select high-quality ingredients and fruits. At Fruitomed, we exclusively select Category A fruits, harvested at their optimal maturity, meaning with a dark color.
This rigorous selection ensures fruits with a high polyphenol content, these molecules recognized for their powerful antioxidant benefits, making them an exceptional raw material for the production of our products.
This is why our IMMUNIA® products are effective for health, thanks to their high concentration and superior quality of polyphenols.
OUR MISSION
As parents of three children, we wanted to facilitate antioxidant intake in our diet, even during months when fresh fruits were not available, and develop effective, easy-to-consume, and delicious products.
After several years of research, we developed a cold concentration process that allows us to concentrate molecules while preserving the full integrity of the polyphenols found in fruits. We launched our product line under the IMMUNIA® brand. Our main mission was to market high-quality, health-effective, easy-to-consume, and delicious products.
PIONEER IN THE FIELD OF POLYPHENOLS
IMMUNIA® products from FRUITOMED were the very first natural health products made from Quebec elderberries to receive Health Canada approval for the claim:
"Provides natural antioxidants for the maintenance of good health."
Although elderberries have been recognized for years for their antiviral properties, it is thanks to FRUITOMED and its many scientific partners that Quebec elderberries have gained popularity for their exceptional antioxidant properties. Furthermore, since 2013, FRUITOMED has been proud to collaborate on various causes and research on cancer and aging.
Discover effective, 100% natural, delicious products, crafted from the most powerful medicinal small fruits in Quebec.
Happy reading!
