2023/10/9 Price Updates: What Changes In Ingredients Market?

6 Raw Ingredients Have Obvious Changes In Their Market

Creatine Monohydrate Powder

Since the end of July 2023, there has been a shortage of raw materials for Creatine Mono, and factories at home and abroad have gradually entered the stage of suspension. This week, US suppliers still stopped reporting. The inventory is also very small. There are probably less than 8 tons of creatine mono powder 80/200 mesh. It also causes the market quotes for this ingredient to change daily. On October 9, its market price was no less than $10.5/kg. If there is demand, the price needs to be confirmed again.

Acetyl L-Carnitine

The price of Acetyl L-carnitine powder has increased significantly this week. Its market price is $21-25/kg.

At the same time, the prices of other types of Carnitine also vary to varying degrees. For example, the market price of L-carnitine powder is no less than $16/kg. The price of L-Carnitine Tartrate powder is $15.5-21/kg.

Caffeine Anhydrous

Generally speaking, the minimum order quantity for Caffeine Anhydrous powder is 20kg/drum. Some time ago, some suppliers tended to increase prices for 20kg/drum orders. But this week, Nutri Avenue still maintained the price before the price increase. For reference, the market price of Anhydrous Caffeine powder is generally $18-25.5/kg.

Sucralose

Due to the increase in raw materials, the Sucralose market is in a price increase trend. This week, there is no obvious price change for Sucralose powder in the US market, which is about $25.5-35/kg.

Vitamin B1 Benfotiamine

This week, the Vitamin B1 market is trending downward. The price of Benfotiamine powder is about $73.5-85/kg.

Popular Raw Ingredients Market Price Update 10/9-10/15

• L-Theanine

The popular strength of this ingredient is L-Theanine Powder 98% Purity. The market price this week is about $24-30.5/kg.

• Inositol and Inositol HexaPhosphate

In the United States, about 5-6mt of Inositol powder is still in stock. There are also differences in the quotations between different manufacturers, ranging from $22.5/kg to $35/kg.

Another form of this ingredient, called Inositol HexaPhosphate, has a market price of $23.5-29/kg.

Inositol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol. It is found in many foods, especially fruits, legumes, grains, and nuts. The human body can also produce it. Myo-inositol has three main effects on various physiological processes, including cell signaling, neurological function, and lipid metabolism. It supports mental health, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) symptoms.

Inositol HexaPhosphate, or IP6, is a form of inositol bound to six phosphate groups. It is found in high concentrations in certain foods, such as grains, legumes, and seeds. IP6 acts as an antioxidant in humans. It has been studied for its potential anti-cancer properties. On the one hand, studies have proven that it can ban cancer cell growth. On the other hand, it promotes cancer cell death. It also can reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.

All in all, the structures and functions of the two are quite different. Inositol primarily involves cellular function and mental health, while IP6 focuses more on antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. Of note, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of myo-inositol and IP6 supplements.
