Buyer Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Supplement Manufacturing
Practical answers sourced from the questions our sales engineers field every week.
MOQs start at 1,000 units for capsules, tablets and softgels, 500 kg for powder blends and 5,000 units for gummies. Lower pilot volumes are available for stability studies and market-testing batches, so emerging brands can validate demand before committing to full production.
A stock formulation with private label packaging typically ships in 6–8 weeks. A fully custom formulation — including R&D, ingredient sourcing, pilot batch, stability and regulatory review — generally takes 8–12 weeks from approved specification. Component lead times for custom bottles or cartons are the most common variable, so we lock those early.
Our network operates under Health Canada Site Licences, US FDA facility registration, GMP certification, NSF, HACCP and ISO 22000, plus Organic, Halal and Kosher certification for qualifying lines. Certificates of Analysis, batch records and allergen statements are supplied with every shipment, and audit documentation is available under NDA.
Yes. Our regulatory affairs team prepares NPN submissions for Health Canada, FDA-compliant Supplement Facts labelling, EU food supplement notifications, GCC/UAE registration dossiers and export paperwork such as Free Sale Certificates and Certificates of Origin. We also screen claims against the evidence standard applied in each jurisdiction.
We produce HPMC vegan capsules, pectin gummies, plant-based softgels, gluten-free and dairy-free powders, and sugar-free effervescent tablets. Allergen control programmes, dedicated tooling and validated cleaning protocols with swab verification prevent cross-contamination between runs.
Every batch is tested for identity, potency, heavy metals, microbiology and residual solvents using HPLC, ICP-MS and GC-MS methods. Results are confirmed by an independent ISO 17025 laboratory, and retained samples are held for the full declared shelf life so any market query can be traced back to the original lot.
Custom formulas developed against your brief and funded by your programme remain your intellectual property, documented in the manufacturing agreement. Stock and platform formulas remain ours and are licensed to you for private label use. Confidentiality is covered by a mutual NDA signed before technical discussions begin.
HDPE and PET bottles, glass jars, aluminium-foil sachets, stick packs, blisters, pouches and shelf-ready display cartons. Shipping is offered on FOB, CIF or DDP terms by sea, air or courier, with palletised export-grade packing and temperature-controlled options for probiotics and oils.
