Noain, Navarra. Spain & Lugano, Switzerland – 22nd of October 2024 – Arandovo S.L., a leader in natural health product innovation, has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Swisseutic for the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). This partnership will bring MKARE®, Arandovo’s flagship product, to a new audience across these markets.
MKARE® is the only product on the market made using fresh eggshell membrane. By utilizing fresh membrane and a gentle hydromechanical separation process, the integrity of the native proteins is preserved, ensuring optimal levels of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. The result is a superior quality product that is truly unique.
Through this agreement, Arandovo aims to leverage Swisseutic’s strong presence in the DACH region to facilitate the introduction of MKARE® to local pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food companies. The goal is to offer businesses an innovative, vegetarian product supported by clinical evidence that enhances their portfolio of solutions for the well-being of joints, skin, and connective tissues. With MKARE®, these companies will be able to meet the growing demand for natural, high-quality products in the health and wellness sector.
Christian Artaria, CEO of Swisseutic, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are very pleased to embark on this collaboration with Arandovo. MKARE® is an excellent example of innovation in the functional ingredients sector for the food and nutraceutical industries, where the integration of a cutting-edge production process with an optimized supply chain has resulted in a product with a unique and highly effective composition. We are confident that MKARE® will be well-received by our partners, as it meets the needs of a constantly evolving market that increasingly seeks superior quality solutions backed by solid scientific evidence”.
Maria Eugenia Sadaba, General Manager at Arandovo S.L., highlighted the significance of the collaboration: “With over two decades of experience in marketing scientifically validated branded ingredients, Christian Artaria and the Swisseutic team bring unmatched expertise to this partnership. Their profound knowledge of the DACH market, combined with a commitment to excellence, aligns perfectly with our vision. Together, we are excited to introduce MKARE® to new consumers, confident in its ability to deliver unique health benefits and improve well-being.”

Arandovo S.L., part of the Pascual Group – a renowned Spanish family-owned company with over 50 years of experience in the food and beverage industry – specializes in innovative health products sourced from Eggshell Membrane. The flagship product, MKARE®, is crafted from fresh Eggshell Membrane using a gentle hydromechanical process, ensuring maximum biological efficacy and preserving the full benefits of its natural components.
Thanks to an exclusive and gentle hydromechanical separation process and the use of fresh egg membrane, MKARE® preserves the integrity of both soluble and insoluble proteins present in the egg shell membrane, ensuring maximum biological efficacy. The in-situ production process allows for a greater integrity of soluble proteins such as ovotransferrin and ovocalixin-36 compared to other typical egg membrane proteins, especially when compared to products derived from shells stored at room temperature before processing. Two key studies demonstrate the efficacy of MKARE®. The first, a chemical characterization study, highlights how MKARE® stands out from degraded egg membrane products by preserving the essential bioactive proteins needed for its effectiveness. The second, a mechanistic study, confirms the product’s dual action, showing both anti-inflammatory effects and regenerative action on human chondrocyte cells. Additionally, MKARE® is supported by three clinical studies, including one already published1, a pilot study, and another currently in publication in the “beauty from within” sector.
