Options
Printed carton, measuring cap and multi-layer label. Amber glass is recommended for light-sensitive actives, and a measuring cap for anything dosed above a few millilitres.
Liquids
A modern, versatile format — faster absorption for fat-soluble actives, and wide scope to shape taste, texture and presentation.
Why the liquid
Bioavailability you can taste
In liquid form, certain actives are absorbed faster and with greater bioavailability — particularly fat-soluble vitamins, as well as a broad range of other nutrients.
Liquids also offer wide scope for customisation of taste, texture and format, meeting the expectations of today's consumers — and of the segments where a solid format simply will not do: paediatric and senior products, where swallowing a tablet is a barrier, and premium positioning, where a glass bottle and a pipette communicate a different level of care.
Using advanced production methods, we guarantee consistent quality and stability in every bottle and flask. Stability is the real challenge of the liquid format: an active in solution is far more exposed than the same active locked inside a capsule, which is why each formula goes through stability studies under ICH conditions before industrialisation.

Capacity
100 000 liquid units per month, with a minimum order quantity of 2 000 units for bottles — an accessible entry point for a premium launch.
Industrial tool
Pharmaceutical-grade equipment
Controlled filling lines
Volumetric filling with in-process checks, for PET and glass containers from 10 ml to 500 ml.
Stability studies
Every formula is tested under ICH conditions before industrialisation, to fix a shelf life that will hold in real distribution conditions.
Microbiological control
Liquids are the most microbiologically sensitive format: each batch is tested in our internal laboratories before release.
Frequently asked questions
What liquid formats are available?
Sprays and droppers or pipettes from 10 to 30 ml, and bottles from 100 to 500 ml, in PET or glass. Options include a printed carton, a measuring cap and a multi-layer label.
What is the minimum order quantity for liquids?
5 000 units for sprays and droppers, and 2 000 units for bottles. Monthly capacity is 100 000 units.
Are liquid supplements really better absorbed?
For certain actives, yes — particularly fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K, which are already in solution and do not need to be released from a solid matrix before absorption. For many other nutrients the difference is marginal, and the real argument for a liquid is compliance: people who struggle to swallow tablets take their supplement more consistently.
How is stability guaranteed in a liquid?
Each formula goes through stability studies under ICH conditions, run with our COFRAC-certified partner laboratories, before the product is industrialised. This determines the shelf life, the packaging material and whether the formula needs light protection, such as amber glass.
