The vitamin, supplement and mineral industry has experienced significant growth in the last decade and is projected to reach even greater heights by the year 2010. Aware of deficiencies in their diets, consumers are turning more and more to nutraceutical products which are organic and have little or no side effects. Many of their preventive and curative health properties are being supported by research and clinical trials. More research is expected to increase and expand the market opportunities for nutraceutical.

Manufacturing vitamin supplements has been made easy through contract vitamin manufacturing. There are a number of good vitamin manufacturing contractors available who will assist you in setting up your own vitamin manufacturing business right from scratch. These companies can provide in-stock vitamin products or help you customize your own vitamin formula.

In-Stock Products
In-house stock usually consists of standardized vitamin formulas which offer little cutting edge over products available in the market. The advantage of in-stock products is their quick availability. In-stock products are usually cheaper and come with ready testimonials and laboratory results. You choose the in-stock product you want to sell, choose your design from a number of stock designs or customize your own label. Choose the packaging and you are ready to market your own brand of vitamin supplement. This is a good option if you have a sure market. Chain stores wanting to market their own brand of supplements may find this a good option as they have an already established credibility of trademark and logo.

Customized Formulas
Common vitamin formulas contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fish oils. Vitamin manufacturing contractors can help you:

  • Customize your own formulas.
  • Have a full staff of R&D chemists who can assist with product formulation to ensure maximum absorption and bioavailability of the nutrients.
  • Offer their expertise in market study and trends.
  • Help you survey what is available in the market and doing well, and what consumers are looking for.
  • Work with you as a team to target vitamin supplements for specific consumer needs. For instance, it is estimated that America will have a large growing aging population very soon. This will create a demand for nutritional supplements for the aged.


Look for a vitamin manufacturing contractor who not only helps you with manufacturing but also helps you understand nutrition and the role of certain nutrients in preventive health. They can also keep you informed of current and future research on plant-based nutrients.

Branding
Once the formulas are established, making your product name stand out in the midst of a competitive industry is very important. Here again, the expertise of your vitamin manufacturing contractor can help you design attractive labels and help you create your own brand line and brand imaging through concepts you provide.

Branding involves using proven marketing techniques so that customers are made aware of your product and its credible health value. A wide awareness will translate to sales. The efficacy of the product, assured by the vitamin manufacturing contractor’s quality of ingredients and good manufacturing practices, will keep customers coming back to your brand of products.

The main goal of a nutraceutical manufacturer should always be to offer a valuable nutritional supplement to the consumer which will produce the results it claims to have. It should be a product which you can fully support. In time, your product will stand out by its brand and trademark.

A crucial decision for any vitamin manufacturer is in the choosing of a contractor for manufacturing your formula of vitamins. Make sure the contractor holds a good inventory of raw ingredients so that you receive timely deliveries of your product whenever you place your order. One of the sure ways of losing business is the erratic availability of a product.

Good Vitamin Manufacturing Standards
Look for a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified manufacturer to assure quality of product. These are a rigorous set of manufacturing guidelines given by FDA for supplement manufacturers. This is not mandatory, so any supplement manufacturing who volunteers to be put under GMP regulations shows integrity to conform to strict standards of manufacturing.
