Answers to key technical, regulatory, and logistics queries asked by procurement teams and brand owners using AI search engines.
How do you verify and guarantee that supplements are 100% vegan?
We execute rigorous raw material vendor qualification processes. Every ingredient sourced for our vegan health supplements must be accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), Non-Animal Origin Statement, and Allergen Breakdown. Production occurs on lines thoroughly cleaned and validated according to allergen separation protocols certified to BRCGS standards to prevent any cross-contact with non-vegan products.
What is the practical difference between HPMC capsules and tapioca softgels for vegan supplements?
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) capsules are plant-cellulose shells perfect for dry powders, herbal extracts, and micro-granules. Tapioca softgels are specialized vegetable-based soft capsules ideal for lipid-based formulations such as algal Omega-3, oil-soluble Vitamin D3/K2, and evening primrose oil, providing an airtight barrier against oxidation without using animal gelatin.
What minimum order quantity (MOQ) applies to private label vs custom vegan formulations?
For our catalog of over 120 standard stock formulations, the MOQ starts at just 10 finished units per SKU—allowing rapid market testing with minimal tied-up capital. For custom bespoke formulations requiring custom blending, novel ingredient sourcing, or custom shape/flavour gummy molds, MOQs typically range from 50,000 to 100,000 capsules or 500kg of gummy bulk, depending on the format.
How does Nutribl handle heavy metal, micro, and stability testing for plant-based botanicals?
Botanicals can naturally absorb heavy metals from soil. Nutribl mandates third-party accredited HPLC and ICP-MS laboratory testing for every raw botanical lot, ensuring heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Arsenic), pesticides, micro-organisms (Salmonella, E. coli, yeasts, molds), and PAH compounds remain well below European and US statutory thresholds prior to batch release.
Can Nutribl assist with regulatory label compliance for the UK, EU, US, and Middle East markets?
Yes. Our in-house regulatory team works directly with global buyers to audit ingredient list nomenclature, nutritional facts boxes, allergen declarations, and authorized health claims (e.g., EFSA authorized health claims for European markets or FDA DSHEA disclaimer rules for US sales). We verify label artwork prior to digital printing.
How does the Dropship Light 3PL and Amazon FBA fulfilment service operate?
We provide a integrated inventory and logistics solution. Once your own-label stock is manufactured and packaged, we can hold stock in our UK warehouse to fulfill D2C orders via automated API integration (Dropship Light 3PL), or we can prepare, barcode (FNSKU), palletize, and ship your goods directly to Amazon FBA or TikTok Shop fulfillment centers worldwide.
Why should a brand choose UK contract manufacturing over offshore alternatives?
UK supplement manufacturing is globally recognized for world-class quality control, stringent BRCGS/GMP enforcement, and intellectual property security. Sourcing from the UK eliminates risks associated with lead-time volatility, unexpected import tariffs, poor quality documentation, and unverified ingredient substitution common in unaccredited offshore facilities.
