Our story
A solid foundation
Fruitomed was born in Quebec out of a passion for research-backed natural health, with an unwavering commitment to quality and transparency.

Getting started with American elderberry
Fruitomed's story began in 2010 with the cultivation, development, and enhancement of elderberry cultivars selected by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. These cultivars were chosen for their exceptional fruit quality and their natural richness in bioactive compounds. This experience allowed the company to develop recognized expertise in processing polyphenol-rich small fruits and in manufacturing high-value natural ingredients. That same experience still allows us today to support our partner producers through a deep understanding of agricultural realities, production challenges, and quality requirements.

Scientific collaborations
Fruitomed has collaborated with several researchers and scientific institutions to study the properties of the polyphenols and bioactive compounds found in Canadian elderberry. This work has contributed to advancing scientific knowledge and to developing our expertise in the valorization of bioactive compounds from small fruits.
