Sleep Supplement Manufacturing — Your Formula, Our Line

We manufacture Sleep products on our partner lines in Zhengzhou, China. Bring a finished formula, a target active level or a rough concept, and we convert it into a specification we can run in bulk — blend and delivery format included.

  • Multi-active night blends made to your formula
  • Softgel, tablet, gummy, capsule and liquid formats
  • Release profile and taste tuned during sampling

Melatonin, magnesium and botanical sleep formulas in gummy, oral film, drop and capsule formats — built for markets where the permitted dose is not the same as the marketing dose.

Why Sleep Products Are Harder Than They Look

Sleep is one of the few categories where the regulator, not the consumer, sets your formulation ceiling. melatonin is a licensed medicine in much of the EU and a food supplement in the US, with a permitted maximum that differs by country and sometimes by member state. A formula that sells well in America can be unsellable in Germany without a change.

The second trap is onset versus duration. A product marketed on falling asleep faster needs a fast-release system; one marketed on staying asleep often needs a modified-release matrix. They are different formulations, not different labels on the same batch.

The third is taste. Magnesium and valerian are among the hardest actives to mask, and a gummy that cannot hide them will not be reordered regardless of how good the formula looks on paper.

Sleep Product Lines: Pick Your Route

“Sleep” is not one product — it is three distinct routes with different buyers, dose rules and actives. Pick the route before you pick the formula.

Melatonin Route — Melatonin

The volume route for the US and e-commerce. Low dose, fast onset, strong repeat purchase. The classic “help me sleep tonight” SKU.

Mineral Route — Magnesium

The relaxation route for stricter markets where melatonin is a medicine. Calm-and-sleep positioning, broader claim tolerance, works for EU and Australia.

Botanical Route — L-Theanine + GABA

The premium “wind-down” route. Non-sedating actives for daytime stress and evening relaxation, pairs with ashwagandha for a full botanical stack.

Formats We Run for This Category

  • Gummies — the dominant format for this category in the US retail channel; pectin base works well with melatonin
  • Oral films — a thin strip that dissolves on the tongue, useful where a consumer wants to take a dose without water at night
  • Liquid drops — for a measured dose and fast absorption, common in the EU market
  • Hard capsules — the cleanest way to carry magnesium at a meaningful dose without a taste problem
  • Tablets — compressed and film-coated, including extended-release matrices

Actives We Already Work With

Melatonin (immediate and modified release), magnesium glycinate, citrate and threonate, L-theanine, ashwagandha root extract, valerian root, chamomile, lemon balm, GABA, 5-HTP and glycine. Where your market treats melatonin as a licensed medicine, we will say so at quotation stage rather than let it surface at customs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is melatonin allowed in my market?

It depends entirely on the country. Melatonin is a food supplement in the United States and a licensed medicine in much of the European Union, with different dose ceilings. Tell us the destination market at quotation stage and we will confirm the position before you commit to artwork.

Can you make a time-release melatonin product?

Yes. We can build immediate-release, modified-release and biphasic systems. The choice affects your unit cost and your stability data, so it should be decided alongside the claim you intend to make, not after.

How do you handle the taste of magnesium and valerian?

By format choice first and flavour system second. Some actives are simply easier to carry in a capsule than a gummy. Where a gummy is required, we use flavour masking and, for the hardest cases, microencapsulation.

Do you make non-melatonin sleep products?

Yes — magnesium, L-theanine, ashwagandha, valerian, chamomile and GABA formulas are all run at volume. Many buyers lead with a botanical formula precisely because it avoids the melatonin question in stricter markets.

What is the smallest batch I can run to test the market?

It depends on the format more than the actives. Tell us the format and we will confirm the pilot figure with your quotation, along with the unit price at your target volume.
