In today's fast-paced e-commerce era, brands often need to prepare dozens of product variants for market testing (e.g., on Amazon, TikTok), each potentially containing complex formulas with 10 to 18 ingredients.
This presents a significant challenge for manufacturers in Europe and America: sourcing a wide variety of raw materials, typically supplied in minimum package sizes, leads to substantial leftover inventory. Coupled with high labor costs, this often makes small-batch pilot production unprofitable, yet brands are reluctant to lose potential customers.
To address this, we specialize in solving this challenge to optimize your overall costs. We go beyond centralized ingredient sourcing by applying professional manufacturing technology to pre-process your formula ingredients, completing approximately 80% of the production process – delivering Customized Nutritional Premixes to you.
Upon receipt, you simply blend and fill with the premix, Significantly simplified the production process. This significantly reduces material waste, inventory burden, and operational complexity, making flexible, small-batch, multi-variant production economically viable.
You receive a product testing request from an emerging Amazon brand:
Requirement: Test 5 products (Sleep Aid, Beauty, Anti-Aging, Immune Support, Liver Support)
Formula Requirement: Each product contains 10+ ingredients
Test Quantity: First batch of 300~ 500 bottles per product
We need to collaborate with over 10 suppliers. The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for each raw material is 25kg, and the cost exceeds 100,000 US dollars.
60-80 types of raw materials require separate testing, weighing and pre-treatment. The time spent on switching production lines accounts for 50%. The labor costs in Europe and America are extremely high.
After the tests, approximately 60 kinds of unpackaged raw materials remained unused (worth about 50,000 US dollars), while also facing the complexity of R&D management and the opportunity cost of missing out on high-quality customers.
Conclusion: Small-batch, multi-formula product testing is extremely costly, inefficient, and high-risk under the traditional model.
We offer a variety of capsule types and can customize and manufacture popular dietary supplement capsules to meet your specific requirements.
We have established a specialized database encompassing 1200+ medicinal and edible substances. Our core strength lies in deep expertise in herbal formulation, skillfully applying the “Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi” (Monarch-Minister-Assistant-Guide) principle for scientific formula design.
It accounts for 65-70% of the global production capacity, and the cost of core raw materials is 50%-70% of that in Europe and the United States (such as curcumin at $90-150/kg, resveratrol at $200-500/kg).
By adopting the “Supercritical CO₂ Extraction, Membrane Separation Technology, and Molecular Distillation” three-stage technology, the following can be achieved:
We have a 3,000+ strain Chinese intestinal-origin probiotic strain library, achieving a technological leap from reliance on imports to independent exports.
We offer a comprehensive range of established supplement formulations and provide professional, customized nutrient premix solutions tailored to your needs
Probiotics: Utilizing microencapsulation with cryoprotectants to ensure ≥90% viable cell survival over 12 months.
Heat-Sensitive Ingredients (e.g., Enzymes): Using low-temperature superfine grinding to maintain ≥95% active ingredient potency.
Oxidation-Prone Ingredients (e.g., Polyphenols): the whole process packaged under an inert gas atmosphere to control oxidation rates to ≤2%.
By adopting microcapsule embedding and freeze-drying protective agent technology, the survival rate of live bacteria is ensured to be ≥90% within 12 months.
Phospholipid Complexation Technology: Can enhance the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble ingredients by 3-5 times.
Nanoemulsion Technology: Can improve the absorption rate of oil-soluble ingredients by 2-3 times.
Concept-to-sample lead time drastically reduced from 12-16 weeks to just 3-4 weeks.
Our pre-compliance review system lowers market entry failure risk by over 85%.
On-demand production eliminates material waste, improving capital efficiency by 300-500%.
We provide professional and personalized premix nutrition solutions according to your requirements.
Based on our actual client cases, our premix solution typically helps clients save 50–60% of total costs. Taking a product testing project with 5 formulas, each containing 10+ ingredients, with initial batches of 300–500 bottles per formula as an example, the traditional cost breakdown is:
With our premix solution, total cost is reduced to $90,000 — a savings of approximately 55%.
The savings come from: centralized procurement reducing raw material costs, shared excipients minimizing ingredient types, pre-processing handled by us, zero leftover material loss, and streamlined quality testing.
Additionally, the time savings are significant — concept-to-sample lead time is reduced from 12–16 weeks to just 3–4 weeks, allowing you to enter market testing much faster.
The premix solution is particularly well-suited for the following types of clients:
E-commerce sellers (Amazon, TikTok, etc.): needing to quickly test multiple products to validate market response without bearing high raw material procurement and inventory risks
Regardless of your company size, if you face production demands characterized by “high variety, small batches, and fast turnaround,” the premix solution can help you optimize costs, shorten lead times, and reduce risks.
Yes — this is one of the core values of the premix solution.
In the traditional model, testing 5 products requires procuring 60–80 ingredients, each with a minimum order quantity (typically 25kg), resulting in significant capital lockup and material waste.
The premix solution addresses this through centralized procurement — we consolidate multiple formulas, centrally purchase shared excipients, and procure specialty ingredients based on actual needs, significantly reducing the MOQ pressure for each ingredient type.
Additionally, as a large-scale buyer with long-term relationships with ingredient suppliers, we can secure more flexible procurement terms. Ultimately, you are not burdened by MOQ requirements for any ingredient — you only pay for the finished product.
This means your capital efficiency improves by 300–500%, and raw material inventory risk is completely eliminated.
Minimum order quantities vary depending on formula complexity and packaging format, typically starting at 200 Kg.
For new brands or first-time clients, we can discuss flexible small-batch options to help you conduct market testing at minimal cost.
In terms of maximum capacity, our blending equipment handles batch sizes up to 2,000 kg, with annual capacity sufficient to meet large-scale commercial order requirements.
Whether you are in the product testing phase or scaling up a mature product, we can match the appropriate production scale. We recommend starting with sample testing, then gradually increasing order quantities after formula and process validation.
We deliver not just the cost advantage of Chinese ingredients, but a complete solution for your end-to-end product challenges—from R&D to production.
