Company

Summit Nutritionals International, Inc.[1] was founded in 2001 by Dr. Caesar DePaço, a Portuguese businessman as an expansion of Summit Sourcing, Inc., DePaço's first nutraceutical company, founded in 1997.

The company notably produces chondroitin sulfate, a sulfated glycosaminoglycan used in dietary and nutritional supplements, under the trademarked brand Droi-Kon.[2] It also produces cartilage powders (bovine, marine, poultry, and porcine).[3]

Summit Nutritionals International maintains a European office located in Cascais, on the Portuguese Riviera, outside the capital of Lisbon, and its Latin American office in Barueri, Brazil.[4][5]

In 2015, Sioux Pharm, Inc. brought a case against Summit Nutritionals International, on the basis of allegations that the chondroitin sulfate it produced was not pure grade. However, in October 2015, Sioux withdrew all claims made against Summit Nutritionals International and the lawsuit was dropped.[6]

In 2019, Summit Nutritionals International became an official sponsor for FC Porto, and in 2020, for CF Canelas 2010.[7][8]
