How Space Life Science Works as Your Contract Supplement Manufacturer
START
Initial Consultation
Working with Space Life Science as your contract supplement manufacturer is a collaborative process. We start by understanding your supplement manufacturing needs and the unique expectations of the customer base you want to serve. This discussion is a crucial step in tailoring solutions custom-fit for your vision.
Formula Creation
Customized Formulation
After grasping your needs, our skilled R&D team will work with you to craft a customized supplement that is uniquely yours. Using precise amounts of the appropriate raw materials, we can design an evidence-based product with efficacy built in. This not only allows you to substantiate structure/function claims but also increases the likelihood of good repeat sales once consumers have initially used your product.
If readily available raw materials aren’t adequate for formulation, we can modify ingredient properties with our particle engineering capabilities, such as granulation, agglomeration, microencapsulation.
Ingredient Potency & Bioavailability
Selection of Raw Materials
A well-formulated dietary supplement requires the use of evidence-based ingredients to help ensure product efficacy. Ingredients may be selected worldwide on the basis of quality, and in forms that provide high potency and bioavailability. For example, many mineral supplements include well-absorbed mineral salts bonded to organic acids, including citrates, picolinates and gluconates. Likewise, formulas with herbal extracts may include standardized extracts with guaranteed amounts of the natural active or marker compounds within the herbs.
If readily available raw materials aren’t adequate for formulation, we can modify ingredient properties with our particle engineering capabilities, such as granulation, agglomeration, microencapsulation.
Logistics
Ordering the Raw Materials
Without question, this is the step that takes the longest in the manufacturing process. Why? Here’s an example.
Let’s say that the raw material in question is a probiotic. As live microorganisms, probiotic ingredients are typically made to order. They literally must be grown on a natural medium, and that doesn’t happen overnight. In fact, growing probiotics may take 6 weeks or so. Now let’s say those probiotics come from overseas (which is often the case), so that means the ingredient must be shipped internationally—which could take 1-2 weeks, plus additional time for customs clearing. Fortunately, Space Life Science stocks dozens of tested and approved probiotic ingredients under refrigerated conditions, so there is often no need to wait for international shipments,
In addition to probiotics, Space Life Science stocks thousands of ingredients in its vast, climate-controlled warehouses, so they’ll be ready when needed to make your product.
