Definition

What is dietary supplement contract manufacturing

Contract manufacturing means entrusting the entire supplement production process — and the option to expand your product portfolio — to an external manufacturer: from formula development, through sourcing and verification of raw materials, manufacturing, packaging and labeling, to a finished product ready for sale under your own brand (private label). The brand owner handles sales and marketing, while manufacturing, quality and regulatory compliance rest with the contract manufacturer.

Onesano has been in contract manufacturing since 2017 and has completed over 50 projects for supplement brands from Poland and abroad. We work both with companies just starting out and with experienced brands looking for innovative solutions. Thanks to our in-house R&D and large production capacity, we serve start-ups and large companies on the same quality terms.

Case studies

Selected projects

Real challenges our clients faced and how we solved them — selected examples from our contract-manufacturing practice.

R&DFormula from scratch

From idea to finished product

The client came with an idea but no formula. Within a few weeks we developed the composition from scratch, selected the raw-material forms and prepared samples — the supplement launched on schedule.

StabilityTechnology

A difficult formulation

Combining several ingredients was undermining the product's stability. A series of technology trials, the right raw-material forms and protection of the active ingredients kept the product's quality throughout its shelf life.

Softgel suspensionInnovation

Two worlds, one capsule

How do you combine oils and powdered ingredients in a single softgel capsule? Our R&D team developed a softgel-suspension formula and enclosed both types of ingredient in one convenient product.
