Biotin Supplement Manufacturer
Microgram-dose blending via diluted premix — content uniformity demonstrated, overage set from stability data.
INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT
Biotin Supplement Manufacturing — Your Formula, Our Line
We manufacture Biotin 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 — micro-dose blending and content uniformity included.
- Micro-dose blending with content uniformity verified lot by lot
- Very small active loads handled without segregation
- Tablet, gummy, softgel and capsule formats
D-biotin at 1,000–10,000 mcg, where the dose is so small that uniformity and label arithmetic are the entire specification.
12 Dosage Forms
Gummies, capsules, softgels, tablets, powders, liquids and solid beverages — all run in-house.
6 Production Lines
Two GMP facilities covering 14,000 sqm, 200+ employees, no subcontracted fill.
100+ Export Markets
cGMP, HACCP, ISO 22000 and HALAL certified. Documentation built for your market.

Why a Microgram Dose Is a Blending Problem
Biotin is measured in micrograms and delivered in hundreds of milligrams. Three decisions decide whether the low-dose blending works.
A Blending Problem
Biotin is measured in micrograms and delivered in units of hundreds of milligrams — at 5,000 mcg in a 500 mg tablet it is one percent. Uniformity is solved with a diluted premix blended onto a carrier to a defined concentration before it reaches the main blend.
Overage from Data
Vitamins degrade slowly, and a product declaring 5,000 mcg at release can fall below it by expiry without an overage. The correct overage depends on format, pack and measured stability — we run the study and set the figure from data, not a rule of thumb.
The Claim
Biotin is most commonly positioned around hair, skin and nails, and whether those claims are permitted varies by market — some also require a laboratory-test interaction warning. We review the claim set and required warnings before artwork is finalised.
Formats We Run
Tablets
compressed and film-coated, 1,000–10,000 mcg, the dominant and most economical format
Gummies and chewables
4 g unit weight, commonly 1,000–5,000 mcg, the strongest retail format for a beauty position
Hard capsules
HPMC or gelatin, 1,000–10,000 mcg, a clean single-unit dose
Softgels
oil fill, often combined with collagen or other beauty actives
Liquid and drops
10–1,000 ml, metered dosing and useful for a high-dose or paediatric-adjacent position
Hair, skin and nail blends
biotin combined with zinc, selenium or collagen, which changes the assay set and the label
What We Check Before Release
Assay and content uniformity — the critical test at microgram doses
Assay and content uniformity — the critical test at microgram doses, run across the batch rather than on a composite sample
Carrier identity confirmed
Carrier identity confirmed, since the premix concentration determines the blending margin
Stability under the intended pack
Stability under the intended pack, used to set the overage rather than applying an arbitrary figure Heavy metals and microbiological limits on the finished product
Nutrition panel arithmetic verified agai…
Nutrition panel arithmetic verified against the declared dose before print Label review covering permitted claims and the required laboratory-test interaction warning where the market demands it
Sourcing and Specification Notes
D-biotin is supplied as a diluted premix
D-biotin is supplied as a diluted premix, usually at 1%–2%, which is what makes micro-dose blending controllable
We specify the premix concentration rather than the pure active
We specify the premix concentration rather than the pure active, because the carrier is part of the formulation Organic certification is not applicable to biotin; a vegan claim depends on the capsule shell
Co-formulation with zinc
Co-formulation with zinc, selenium, collagen or a B-complex is common and changes the assay set We review claims and required warnings per market, particularly around the hair, skin and nail position
One Thing Buyers Get Wrong
Declaring 5,000 mcg with no overage. Vitamins degrade over shelf life. Without a stability-derived overage, the product can fall below its declared dose by the expiry date. We measure the loss and set the overage from the data. Blending pure biotin rather than a premix. At microgram concentrations, pure active cannot be distributed evenly through a tablet blend. The diluted premix is what makes uniformity demonstrable, and the carrier is part of your formulation. Printing hair, skin and nail claims without checking the market. Those claims are permitted in some markets and restricted in others, and several require a laboratory-test interaction warning on the label. We review the wording before artwork is built.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for biotin tablets or gummies?
MOQ is confirmed per format and specification at quotation stage. Dose, format, unit weight and packaging all move the figure — send us the target and we will quote exactly.
How do you achieve uniformity at such a low dose?
By using a diluted biotin premix on a carrier, typically at 1%–2%, and controlling the blending process so the active is distributed evenly. Content uniformity is then demonstrated across the batch rather than on an averaged sample.
Do you apply an overage?
Yes, where the stability data supports one. Vitamins degrade slowly over shelf life, so we measure the loss under your actual pack and set the overage from the result. We will state the figure we apply rather than hiding it.
Can you make a 10,000 mcg biotin gummy?
Yes. The dose itself is not the constraint in a gummy — the flavour and colour system and the gel texture are. We sample the finished gummy at your target dose before you approve artwork.
Which claims can I make about biotin?
It depends on the market. Hair, skin and nail positioning is permitted in some jurisdictions and restricted in others, and several require a laboratory-test interaction warning on the label. Send us your drafted claims and the destination and we will review them.
How long does bulk production take?
We reply to enquiries within 24 hours and send a quotation within 48. Samples take 2-3 days, and standard bulk runs complete in 5–10 days with packaged goods leaving in 10–15 days.
DOSAGE FORMS
Which format should your Biotin product take?
The same Biotin blend can be delivered in several forms, and each one changes the fill weight, the taste profile and the tooling. We produce tablet, gummy and softgel in-house, so the choice is driven by your market rather than by what a third party can supply.
