Design considerations
What shapes a formula
Six factors decide how a set of ingredients becomes a product people can take every day.
Ingredient compatibility
Some ingredients react with each other or absorb moisture. We separate, coat or reformulate to keep each one intact.
Shelf-life overages
Some vitamins, such as vitamin C and B12, lose potency over time. Measured overages keep each one at or above label claim through the expiration date.
Minimal excipients
Flow agents and fillers are used only where the process needs them, at the lowest amount that works.
Dose per serving
We balance the clinical dose against capsule size and serving count so the product is practical to take.
Taste and texture
Powders and gummies are flavored and masked so customers keep taking them through the full bottle.
Dietary requirements
Formulas can be built to meet vegan, gluten-free or allergen-free requirements from the start.
Development
From concept to a production-ready formula
You approve the formula at each stage before it moves to the next.
- 01
Brief
We confirm target ingredients, doses, format and intended claims with your team.
- 02
Bench prototypes
Small lab batches test blend behavior, fill weights and ingredient compatibility.
- 03
Stability study
Prototype units are stored under controlled conditions and tested on a fixed schedule.
- 04
Pilot batch
A scaled run on production equipment confirms process settings and uniformity.
- 05
Technical transfer
Specifications, master records and test methods are finalized for full production.
Stability
Stability testing
Stability data supports the expiration date printed on every label. Samples are pulled and tested at set intervals under two storage conditions.
| Study | Storage condition | Purpose | Typical pull points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accelerated | 40 °C / 75% relative humidity | Stresses the formula to reveal weak points early in development | 0, 1, 3 and 6 months |
| Real-time | 25 °C / 60% relative humidity | Confirms potency under normal storage through the full shelf life | 0, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months |
Conditions follow the ICH guidelines widely used for stability testing. Pull points vary by product and target shelf life.
Specifications
What a finished product specification covers
Every product gets a written specification before production. Quality assurance tests each lot against it.
- Identity
- Confirms each ingredient is the correct material and form.
- Strength
- Sets the acceptable range for each labeled ingredient amount.
- Purity
- Sets limits for heavy metals, microbes and other contaminants.
- Composition
- Defines every component, including excipients and capsule materials.
- Physical
- Covers weight, hardness, disintegration, color and appearance.
