Turn your product idea into a capsule formulation.
For supplement brands building a new product or adapting an existing formula. Work from your ingredients, target market and serving size, with capsule fit, packaging and production considered together.
Written offer within 1 to 3 business days.
FDA registration is a filing, not FDA approval.
A development scope for your product
The ingredients, development work and testing requirements shape the cost and timeline. Agree the deliverables, sample rounds, fees and ownership terms in your offer before development begins.
Start with a formula. Or start with an idea.
Bring the formula you have, or describe the product you want to make. TS LAB offers formulation development alongside production of capsule supplements, so ingredient choices and manufacturing can be planned together.
You bring a formula
Send your ingredients, amounts and preferred serving size. Include the material grades if you have them. Agree any changes or tests needed to turn the blend into a capsule supplement.
You bring an idea
Tell us what you want to make, who it is for and where you plan to sell it. Add any ingredients you already have in mind and how many capsules you would like per serving.
Define the development work before the first sample
Know what you are paying for before development starts: the work included, the samples you can review and who can use the finished formula.
Rounds included
How many sample rounds the fee covers, and what an extra round costs.
What the fee buys
Which work is inside the development fee and which work is billed separately.
Who owns the formula
Who owns the starting formula, new development and the rights to use the result.
If the brief changes
How changes, cancellation or an unsuitable formulation affect the fee, work completed and next steps.
Make the dose, capsule and serving size work together
Capsules hold a fixed volume. Two blends with the same weight can need different capsule sizes because their bulk densities differ. Assessing the blend and serving size together helps establish a practical format.
Purity and overage
Ingredient concentration determines how much material is needed for the declared amount. Any overage must be justified for the formulation and shelf-life requirements; it is not a fixed allowance for every product.
Bulk density
Bulk density describes how much a powder weighs per unit of volume. It helps estimate whether the intended blend can fit the chosen capsule.
Serving size
Capsules per serving affect the customer experience, capsule count per pack and product cost. Agree the serving size as part of the formulation brief.
Use the capsule guide to understand the inputs for a fit assessment. Explore dose, density and capsule size.
Build your target markets into the brief
Ingredient status, permitted use and label claims need to be assessed for the intended markets. Include those markets in the brief so any required regulatory work can be scoped alongside development.
Name the countries and channels
List the countries, retailers and marketplaces you plan to sell through. Their requirements can affect the formulation, documentation, packaging and label.
Agree the review required
Identify the ingredient, claim and documentation checks your project needs, along with who will perform them. Additional analysis or specialist review should have an agreed scope and cost.
Regulatory and documentationCapsule formulation questions
Do you develop formulas, or do you only fill mine?
Both. TS LAB offers customised formulation development and production from an existing formulation. Send your starting point so the offer can define development, adaptation and manufacturing work separately.
How many sample rounds are included?
The number of sample rounds is project-specific. Confirm the included rounds, the feedback process and the price of any extra round in the development offer.
Who owns the formula at the end?
The contract should establish ownership and usage rights for your starting formula and any new development. These terms are project-specific and should be agreed before work begins.
Can you match a product I already sell?
Send your specification, label and any analysis or reference sample you have. Ingredient grades, availability and capsule suitability need assessment before a match or transfer can be confirmed.
Do you run stability studies?
If you need stability data, include the requirement in your brief. Confirm the study scope, testing provider, timing and cost in the offer; a standard stability-study programme has not been established in the available service information.
Will you tell me if my ingredient is not allowed in the EU?
List the ingredients and target countries in your brief. Confirm which ingredient-status and regulatory checks the project includes, and who is responsible for any specialist assessment.
