Custom Dietary Supplement Manufacturing
Vici Health Sciences helps dietary supplement companies develop and manufacture technically differentiated products in tablets, capsules, powders, and liquids.
Clients come to us with products at different stages. Some have a finalized formula and need a capable manufacturing partner. Others have a promising concept that still requires formulation work. Some already have a product but need help resolving taste, stability, blending, compression, filling, quality, or supply problems before it can be manufactured reliably.
Vici brings formulation development, analytical testing, regulatory support, quality oversight, and manufacturing together within one technical organization.

Liquid Dietary Supplement Manufacturing
Develop and manufacture liquid solutions and suspensions. Vici evaluates solubility, physical stability, sedimentation, viscosity, taste, ingredient compatibility, microbial risk, and the intended container-closure system.
Start From Your Current Stage
You Already Have a Formula
Vici can perform a manufacturing-feasibility review, evaluate raw-material documentation, establish the proposed process and testing plan, and prepare a quotation for pilot or commercial production. If the formula creates a foreseeable manufacturing or quality risk, we identify it before committing to a larger batch.
You Have a Product Concept
Our dietary supplement formulation development team can translate target ingredients, doses, dosage form, sensory goals, claims, packaging, and cost objectives into prototypes and a scalable manufacturing process.
Your Existing Product Is Not Working Reliably
We can investigate problems such as poor powder flow, ingredient segregation, inconsistent capsule fill, tablet capping, friability, excessive tablet size, unpleasant taste, sedimentation, or inadequate physical stability. The objective is not merely to make another prototype; it is to identify the technical cause and create a manufacturable solution.
An Integrated Development and Manufacturing Organization
A dietary supplement can fail commercially even when its ingredient list is attractive. The formula must also be manufacturable, testable, stable, compliant, acceptable to consumers, and practical at the intended selling price.
Vici can coordinate the portions of the program that need to work together:
- Formulation and process development
- Raw-material and supplier documentation review
- Pilot manufacturing and scale-up
- Specifications and analytical testing
- Dietary supplement regulatory review
- Commercial batch manufacturing and repeat production
Why Companies Choose Vici
Founder-Led Pharmaceutical Development Expertise
Vici was co-founded and continues to be led by pharmaceutical and consumer health product-development scientists and engineers with decades of expertise spanning complex formulation development, manufacturing scale-up, test method development, regulatory strategy, and cGMP operations. We apply this experience to optimize each custom product for its intended use while ensuring it can be manufactured reliably and efficiently—especially when a standard stock formula is not sufficient.
Development Connected to Production
The scientists who develop or troubleshoot the formula remain connected to the team responsible for scale-up, testing, and manufacturing. Decisions made during development therefore reflect the realities of production.
Quality-Focused U.S. Operations
Vici manufactures dietary supplements in the United States under an established quality system and dietary supplement cGMP requirements. The facility is FDA inspected and independently audited and certified for cGMP compliance.
Projects That Are a Strong Fit
- Differentiated supplements that need more than commodity manufacturing
- Products requiring taste, mouthfeel, stability, blending, compression, filling, or process optimization
- Companies moving from a prototype or benchtop formula into controlled production
- Established brands seeking a more technically engaged and reliable U.S. manufacturing partner for timely supply
- Products that need coordinated formulation, testing, stability, regulatory, and manufacturing support
- Tablets, chewables, ODTs, capsules, powders, and liquid solutions or suspensions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Vici develop a new formulation for me?
Yes. Most clients engage Vici for formulation development. We develop a proprietary formulation around your ingredients, target dose, dosage form, sensory goals, claims, and cost targets.
Can Vici work with my existing formulation?
Yes. We review existing formulations for ingredient suitability, manufacturability, stability, consumer experience, and scale-up requirements.
Will the formulation belong to me?
Yes. Your custom formulation belongs to you and can become part of your product’s proprietary “secret sauce.”
Does Vici source the ingredients?
Yes. Ingredient sourcing is a service Vici routinely provides for our clients. We source active and inactive ingredients from qualified suppliers and can also accept client-provided ingredients, provided they meet Vici’s QA standards and applicable FDA regulations.
Are ingredients tested before use?
Yes. Materials are received, documented, and released through Vici’s cGMP quality procedures, including identity testing where required.
How many formulation-development rounds are usually needed?
Development may require anywhere from a single round to four rounds, depending on the product and technical challenges. Some products may require additional rounds.
Can I evaluate the prototypes?
Yes. When sensory evaluation is relevant, clients can provide feedback on taste, sweetness, texture, mouthfeel, and the overall consumer experience.
Can Vici scale a formula developed in my laboratory?
Yes. We first conduct a feasibility and technical-transfer review because a benchtop process may require adjustments to work reliably on production equipment.
Why is a pilot batch needed?
A pilot batch bridges formulation development and commercial production. It evaluates the formulation, manufacturing process, packaging, labeling, and finished-product quality before a larger order is placed.
What is Vici’s typical pilot-batch size?
Typically, 250 to 1,000 finished units. We remain flexible based on the product, equipment, packaging, and purpose of the pilot.
Is the pilot batch manufactured under cGMP requirements?
Yes. Pilot batches use released ingredients, approved production records, documented manufacturing procedures, quality oversight, and appropriate finished-product QC testing.
Can pilot units be packaged and labeled for sale?
Yes. Pilot units can be placed in supported commercial packaging with finished-product labels after completing the required quality review and release procedures.
What QC testing does Vici perform?
Vici typically performs or coordinates identity, purity, microbial, and heavy-metals testing. However, the client establishes the specifications for its product, including the QC testing specifications, and Vici manufactures and tests the product according to those approved specifications. Vici’s Quality Assurance team reviews the manufacturing documentation and applicable test results before releasing the batch and issuing the finished-product Certificate of Analysis.
Can Vici help develop my product label?
Yes. The product label and brand belong to the client, not Vici. Vici can provide design, technical, and other practical input to help the client develop the label.
Can Vici coordinate label printing?
Yes. We can coordinate label specifications, printing, receipt, inspection, and application as part of pilot or commercial packaging.
Is Vici cGMP certified and FDA inspected?
Yes. Vici is third-party dietary supplement cGMP certified by Eurofins and has been inspected by the FDA without receiving a Form 483.
What happens if a batch or test result does not meet specifications?
Vici has formal deviation, out-of-specification investigation, and corrective and preventive action systems to investigate the issue, document its cause, and determine the appropriate disposition.
What is Vici’s typical commercial minimum order?
We generally see unit economics begin to become feasible for clients at an order size of approximately 3,000 finished units. However, Vici remains flexible based on the specific product, manufacturing process, and packaging requirements.
