Frequently Asked Questions
What is contract supplement manufacturing?
Contract supplement manufacturing is a production model where a brand provides its own proprietary formula (or works with the manufacturer's R&D team to develop one) and the manufacturer produces the finished product under a confidentiality agreement. The brand owns the formulation IP. This differs from private label manufacturing, where brands choose from the manufacturer's existing formula library.
What is the difference between contract and private label manufacturing?
In contract manufacturing, you bring your own formula and the manufacturer produces it to your specifications under NDA. In private label manufacturing, you choose from the manufacturer's stock formula library and brand it as your own. Contract manufacturing offers more differentiation and IP ownership; private label offers faster time-to-market and lower upfront costs. We offer both models.
Can I use my own formula for contract manufacturing?
Yes - that is the core of contract manufacturing. You provide your formula (ingredient list, dosages, and specifications), and we manufacture it in our FDA-registered facility. If your formula needs adjustments for manufacturing feasibility, stability, or regulatory compliance, our R&D team collaborates with you on modifications while preserving your core formulation.
What is the minimum order quantity for contract manufacturing?
Our contract manufacturing MOQ starts at 500 units for most supplement formats. This allows you to produce an initial batch for market testing without committing to large volumes. As demand grows, you can scale to 1,000, 5,000, or 50,000+ units per production run with corresponding per-unit price improvements.
Do you sign NDAs for contract manufacturing?
Yes. Every contract manufacturing engagement begins with a mutual non-disclosure agreement before any formulation details or proprietary information is exchanged. Your intellectual property - including ingredient ratios, manufacturing processes, and business information - is protected throughout and after the production relationship.
How is pricing structured for contract manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing pricing is based on per-unit production cost, which varies by product format, ingredient complexity, and order volume. Starter quantities (500 units) begin from $2.80 per unit; at 5,000+ units, pricing drops to $1.50 per unit. Custom formulation R&D is quoted separately ($500-$2,000 depending on complexity). There are no setup fees, formula hold fees, or hidden charges.

Contract Supplement Manufacturing with Full IP Protection
Contract supplement manufacturing is a partnership model where you retain full ownership of your formulation IP while we handle production, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. Unlike private label manufacturing - where brands choose from a manufacturer's existing formula library - contract manufacturing starts with your proprietary formula and produces it to your exact specifications in our FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility.
Our contract manufacturing capabilities span five supplement formats: gummy vitamins, capsules and tablets, powder blends, sachets and stick packs, and liquid drops and tinctures. Whether you bring a complete formula sheet or a concept that needs R&D refinement, our team manages the entire production lifecycle - raw material sourcing from audited suppliers, manufacturing with in-process quality controls, third-party testing for potency and purity, FDA-compliant packaging, and global fulfillment to your warehouse, Amazon FBA center, or directly to your customers.
Every contract manufacturing engagement begins with a confidentiality agreement. Your formulation details, ingredient ratios, and proprietary processes remain your intellectual property throughout and after production. We manufacture for brands across 50+ countries - from first-time founders testing a single SKU at 500 units to established companies scaling to 50,000+ units per production cycle. The same FDA-registered quality standards, third-party testing protocols, and Certificate of Analysis documentation apply at every volume tier.
