INGREDIENTS ORIGIN

Ingredients Origin

Zap sources functional ingredients within Europe whenever possible to ensure traceability, quality and shorter supply chains.

Fact Sheet

  • Caffeine — EU-approved supplier (Pharma/food grade)
  • Xylitol — from European birch & beech sources
  • Zinc & B-vitamins — from EU nutrient manufacturers
  • All ingredients GMO-free and non-irradiated

Traceability & quality

Suppliers are required to provide batch certificates of analysis and full origin documentation. Every lot is logged under Zap’s internal traceability system.

Sourcing policy

We prioritise European and EEA suppliers to minimise transport distance and support regional production. Non-EU ingredients are used only when no EU alternative meets functional standards.

Verification & testing

Incoming materials are verified for identity and purity by the manufacturer’s QA team. Supplier audits are performed for key functional inputs.

Sustainability impact

Using regional feedstocks reduces transport CO₂ and supports forestry by-products like xylitol from wood. We’re exploring certified low-impact caffeine alternatives for future formulas.
