Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)
Supplement manufacturers must meet certain health and sanitation conditions. This in turn requires that the manufacturer documents everything from ingredient storage and testing to equipment cleaning. GMP is also required by law in the EU. European supplement manufacturers should therefore be able to present documentation and certification that supports their internal GMP procedures.
Ingredient options
Supplement manufacturers tend to be specialised to a certain extent. Some supplement manufacturers specialise in sports supplements, while manufacturers such as Orescience Groupe produce supplements for weight loss and anti-ageing purposes. As such, your manufacturer must specialise in the same types of supplements that you intend to procure.
This also impacts the ingredients options, which in turn sets limitations on the types of custom formulations that the manufacturer can develop. If you, for example, only intend to use natural ingredients then this is something that must be confirmed with the supplement manufacturer before you place an order.
Private label
Many European supplement manufacturers offer a range of private-label supplement products. Private label is in this context referring to pre-developed supplement formulas with the buyer brand attached to the packaging. Buying private-label supplements means that you can quickly bring products to market without developing and testing a new formulation.
