Formulation & product development

Most partners arrive with a category and a rough idea, not a finished formula. That is the normal starting point, and it is the part we do best. We take an active, a claim, a target format and a price ceiling, and turn them into something that mixes properly, tastes acceptable, holds its assay through shelf life and can actually be manufactured at the volume you need, whether that volume is a first test batch or a long pharmaceutical series.

Development happens in our own laboratory, not at a subcontractor. Excipient selection, flow and compression behaviour, granulation, taste and solubility work, and stability planning all sit with the same team that will later run your production. Nothing is handed over between houses, and nothing gets lost in that handover. The same laboratory runs a pilot for a first-time brand and a reformulation for a pharmacy chain, and the work does not get shorter for the smaller one.

We have been formulating supplements and herbal products since 1986, which is long enough to know what survives scale-up and what does not. You get that read early, while the formula can still change over a conversation instead of a production run.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a finished formula, and how large does the order have to be?

You do not need a finished formula, and the order does not have to be large. Projects usually begin with a category, a target claim and a price point, and we build the formula from there. Minimum quantities start low enough for a genuine test batch, because a large share of our long-term partners came to us with one idea and one run. That first batch is made under the same GMP conditions, on the same equipment, with the same certificate of analysis as a full production series. Tell us the format and we will give you the exact minimum and the volume breakpoints above it.

Can you reformulate or match an existing product?

Who owns the formula?

Do you check claims against EU regulation?

Can you formulate with probiotics or other sensitive actives?
