Tait Laboratories Inc. (Tait Labs) is a Vancouver-based clean technology company that focuses on upcycling agricultural waste into clinically-validated, plant-based ingredients for the food, beverage, and biomedical industries. The company utilizes its proprietary Minimum-Processing-Maximum-Benefits (MPMB) platform, which includes a clean water extraction technology, to isolate high-value bioactive compounds from botanical feedstocks like mandarin orange peels. This process enables the company to repurpose waste streams that would otherwise be discarded, transforming them into healthy, nutritious ingredients for dietary supplements and natural health products.
The technology provides a sustainable solution for both food producers and consumers by addressing global challenges related to food waste and chronic disease. Their flagship product, MS+ Mandarin Skin Plus, is a prebiotic dietary supplement designed to support digestive health by nourishing gut microbes and reducing inflammation. Tait Labs has commercialized its ingredients internationally and established distribution partnerships, such as with McKesson Canada, to reach retail markets. The company's work is supported by patents and collaborative research, positioning it as an innovator at the intersection of agri-food sustainability and medicinal science.
