Supplement Formulation Development
Expert R&D turning your concept into a manufacturable formula.
Formulation and Product Development
IN-HOUSE CAPABILITY
Most projects do not start from a blank page. They start from a reference product, a target actives list or a rough concept, and the work is turning that into something that can actually be blended, filled and released on a production line — handled by our own team in Zhengzhou, not brokered out.
Manufactured under cGMP (SGS-audited, CN26/00005718), HACCP, ISO 22000 and HALAL systems across two GMP-certified in-house factories, with US FDA facility registration (18854076080) and a Chinese food production licence (SC11341018200838).
Formulation is where most supplement projects succeed or fail. An active that is easy to claim on a label can be difficult to carry in a real product — it may taste bitter, react with the matrix, settle out of suspension or lose potency on the shelf. Our laboratory works on those problems before production, not after.
What the Laboratory Does
- Feasibility assessment of the actives and the target dose per unit
- Base and delivery-system selection across 12 dosage forms
- Flavour and taste-masking development, including sugar-free and low-sugar systems
- Compatibility work between actives, excipients and packaging
- Stability and shelf-life assessment under defined conditions
- Clean-label and natural-ingredient focus for label-friendly formulas
- Scale-up from bench sample to pilot batch to bulk
Typical Challenges We Solve
| Challenge | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Large active load per unit | Matrix selection, fill weight, splitting across units |
| Bitter or metallic actives | Coating, encapsulation, flavour system, sweetness balance |
| Sensitive actives | Barrier packaging, opaque shells, low-humidity processing |
| Oil-based actives | Emulsification, liquid fill, softgel shell compatibility |
| Sugar-free requirements | Allulose, stevia, sucralose and maltitol systems |
| Vegetarian and halal requirements | Pectin gummies, HPMC capsules, vegetarian softgel shells |
Scale-Up and Consistency
A bench sample proves the concept. Scale-up proves the process. We verify that the bulk batch matches the sample on fill weight, texture and appearance, and we lock the specification in writing only after that check — bench sample first, then a pilot batch, then bulk — which is why batch-to-batch consistency holds across repeat orders. Stability is reviewed against your shelf-life target.
Where Development Fits
Formulation development is available as a standalone service and as the first stage of an OEM project. Our manufacturing capabilities page describes the facilities this work runs in.
