Private label food supplements are: vitamins, minerals, protein powders, or herbal blends that are made just for your brand.

You might come up with a simple idea like
“I’m looking to develop my own sleep remedy,” or “I would like collagen with chocolate taste”, or maybe “mushroom complex capsules with nootropic effect”.And in the end, you get original, market-ready products with your branding. Under private label, we are a team working together so you get a formula that is perfect for your target market.
You don't need to do R&D or build your own factory or deal with complicated rules or regulations. That's where we come in. We take care of concept formulation, test material order, mixing, production, primary testing, technology adaptation, packaging, and all of the technical stuff, so you can focus on branding, marketing, and sales.

Making your supplement a reality requires a collaborative process. This is how we go about it:
Idea & Objectives
We start by comprehending your product vision, brand objectives. We assist in defining your product concept, ingredient list, primary and/or secondary packaging. Maybe you're looking for a vegan protein powder or a hyaluronic acid in pink-colored capsules.

Creation
Our scientific team makes a test run of your unique formula. During the tests, we look for a balance between the ideal ingredient list, excipients, whether it will be suitable for real-time runs, and definitely, safety and efficacy.
Purchasing Ingredients
Because there are plenty of different regulations in the EU and third countries, to adhere to safety and legal requirements, our purchasing department is always looking to only use legally compliant ingredients from reliable vendors.
Production of Test Batches
To test the formula's performance in practical settings, a small batch is made. During the tests, we look: can the theoretical amount of ingredients be placed into the capsule or tablet? If the client has specific requirements about the formulation, can we meet those requirements? What number and amount of excipients will the formula need? In the case of sachets, will the dry mix dissolve? And many more small things which in the end make your products great in the eyes of end customers.
Certification and Testing
To ensure safety, quality, and shelf life, your product is put through a rigorous testing process that includes stability, microbiological, heavy-metal, and sensory tests.
Full-Scale Manufacturing and Packaging
After approval, we produce your product in large quantities and package it, so it is prepared for distribution.

A Formulation Certificate: What Is It?
A formulation certificate is a formal document that lists the following details about your product:

• Carrier and amount of active ingredient in it and precise amounts of each ingredient.
• Excipient list and its amount.
• Capsule: its size, weight, and materials from which the capsule was made.

This is the document based on which all future regulatory work and manufacturing processes will happen.

Why only a 24-month shelf life?
Private label supplements typically have a 24-month shelf life. This criterion represents: maintaining the effectiveness of active ingredients over time (ingredient stability) and using materials that keep out moisture, light, and air (protective packaging). If the client is looking for extended shelf life, full stability tests can be placed in our laboratory. It will include additional testing and storage in special climate chambers.

Why Make a Test Batch?
A test batch minimizes expensive errors and helps identify problems early. It enables us to:

• Verify the consistency, flavor, and texture.
• Verify the formula's functionality.
• Verify that it satisfies all safety and legal requirements.

After our R&D team finishes the development and we are satisfied with the result, we send you the final experimental sample and look for your comments. Maybe you would like it sweeter? Or you would like to switch to vegan capsules. So basically, it’s a fine-tuning process.

Why Conduct Flavored Product Testing?
“There's no accounting for taste.”
In the development process, we can use synthetic and natural flavors. Certain natural flavors may interfere with other ingredients. During the process, you can get unexpected reactions, which, in a worst-case scenario, spoils the product or can shorten product shelf life. Balance between aroma, sweetness, or saltiness of a product is crucial because this will be our customers’ unique selling point.

Why Are Liquid and Syrup Stability Tests Important?
Liquids need special consideration because they are more susceptible to:

• Separation: Ingredients may become uneven or settle.
• Microbial Development: Particularly in products that are pasteurized or don’t contain preservative agents and are water-based or naturally sweetened.
• Changes in Flavor and Color: To make sure the product stays safe and consistent, we test it under various storage settings. These tests guarantee that your product satisfies safety requirements for the duration of its shelf life.
• Technical aspects of liquid filling you can find here.
