Introduction to Supplement Products and Private Label Manufactures-
There are thousands of supplements on the market, but it’s hard to know which is the best choice. The process can be frustrating but there are a few things you can do to help you make a more informed decision.
In this post we have summarized 5 key factors to consider when selecting your OEM Manufacturer for Supplements.
Quality
If your company is planning to release a private label product without providing a quality mix, it will be hard to sell. That’s why you need an experienced supplement manufacturer who understands the importance of quality. These include good materials, controlled environment, and quality check. With this, you can rest assured that your products are not only manufactured using quality materials, but they are free from any contamination, making it safe for use, and easier to sell.
Does your manufacturer have Humidity (RH%) control, Temperature Control and HEPA Filters to ensure a low dust environment when manufacturing.
Certification
If you want to sell quality supplements, then you need to partner with a certified supplier. This will allow you to display the trusted MAL sticker logo on your packaging, and customers can be confident in the quality they are buying. This sticker is compulsory in Malaysia to display when registration is required, this cover most tablets and capsules.
Look for a Supplement GMP Certified factory like Furley Bioextracts
Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
When you’re considering a potential supplement manufacturer, you should ask them what the minimum order requirement is and take into consideration how much experience they have in stocking similar products. This will allow you to ensure that when it comes to the right stuff.
Generally most factories will require a minimum of 15K ~ 30K capsules/tablets per run. With optimized costing starting around 150K – 200K capsules or tablets.
Irrespective of your bottle packing size being 30, 60 or even 180s
Turnaround Time
Your selected factory will be-able to give you a lead time which indicates how long it would take them to manufacture the supplement product from the date of Purchase Order from the supplement manufacturer.
If you are considering private label products, then you will find that the packaging is not standard. You need to decide on the type of packaging that will represent your company in a good way.

You know the manufacturer understands your demands and is able to meet them, so you need a packaging design that will catch the eye of current and potential customers.

Clarity, Transparency and Ease of Doing Business
Supplement manufacturers who offer transparency are the best kind to work with. As there are no loopholes, and you know exactly what is going on during manufacturing. On the other hand, manufacturers who close the door when manufacturing shouldn’t be trusted.
Knowledgeable & Technically Practical
Distinguishing between a ok manufacturer and one that will reduce problems due to interactions can be identified by 2 key variables being the time in the industry and the appreciation of the sciences involved in the desired products.
An example:
Powders turning brown or bulging even if packed under environmentally controlled conditions, chemical reactions such as non-enzymatic browning can occur if reducing sugars are present, releasing water due to hydrolysis. The release of water caused a biocarbonate acid reaction releasing carbon dioxide which caused bulging in the confined space in the sachet.
Finding a manufacturer whom appreciates and respects the sciences knows how to push the boundaries and advise you about potential positive and negative outcomes from your niche formula.
Usually companies whom are confident in what they do, have no qualms sharing knowledge and actively seek to learn more from their customers, thus a factory looking to grow together with your business.
