Stages of Contract Manufacturing of Dietary SupplementsProduct Formulation Development
The technological formulation for contract manufacturing of dietary supplements is a sequence of actions required to obtain the final product. The formulation specifies the ingredients with their percentage content in the final product, along with information on the standardization of raw materials containing active components.
Creating the formulation is the final stage of dietary supplement development and is fine-tuned during the manufacturing process. The technological formulation is a mandatory document for the production of dietary supplements. It is developed by the chief technologist and subsequently approved by the enterprise’s management.
Regulatory and Technical Documentation for Contract Manufacturing
The regulatory and technical framework includes materials and documents ensuring product compliance with established quality standards. This documentation must strictly adhere to approved safety standards and regulate the conditions for use, storage, and transportation of dietary supplements. It serves as the enterprise’s standard, applied at all stages of the production process.
Developing a regulatory and technical framework for contract manufacturing of dietary supplements helps optimize workflows and ensure compliance with Russian legislation. Well-structured documentation facilitates the production of high-quality, safe products that meet state standards and national regulations while minimizing financial costs.
Dietary Supplement Registration
Lotus Namaste offers a full range of turnkey services for the registration of dietary supplements for contract manufacturing partners.
Selection and Procurement of Raw Materials, Incoming Quality Control
A high-quality raw material base is the foundation for the production of premium dietary supplements. However, the market often offers raw materials that fail to meet established standards, particularly those imported from China.
Additionally, cases where suppliers provide high-quality raw materials for initial analysis but later substitute them with lower-quality alternatives are common. Therefore, before procurement and production approval, raw materials must undergo mandatory compliance checks against the regulatory and technical documentation for contract manufacturing of dietary supplements. The control process includes organoleptic and physicochemical parameters, as well as safety indicators such as microbiological characteristics and the presence of radionuclides, pesticides, and other toxic substances.
Production of Dietary Supplements
Lotus Namaste has modern production facilities capable of developing and manufacturing tablets, gelatin capsules of various types and sizes, liquid forms, extracts, and cosmetic products. Additionally, the company offers packaging of blends in various containers as per the customer’s choice.
Final Quality Control
Quality control includes planned and systematic measures conducted during production to ensure compliance with customer requirements and standards.
Every batch of dietary supplements undergoes inspection based on key indicators, including organoleptic, physicochemical, and safety parameters. Upon successful testing, specialists issue quality and safety certificates, allowing the batch to be released to the market.
Packaging and Packing of Dietary Supplements
The company packages dietary supplements in blister packs or non-blister laminated paper containers, as well as in jars.
If necessary, secondary packaging and preparation for transportation are also provided.
