Premium Custom Capsule
Manufacturing

Supplement contract manufacturing refers to end-to-end dietary supplement production services, including:

· Formula development · Raw material sourcing · Manufacturing & encapsulation · Quality control & testing · Packaging & fulfillment

RiverPharm provides full-service contract manufacturing solutions, helping brands to ensure consistent performance, regulatory readiness, and scalable growth.

As a contract capsule manufacturer, RiverPharm provides customized solutions including capsule shell material, size, color, and vegan options.

Our in-house R&D team also support full formula customization and packaging configuration tailored to your brand positioning and target market, helping brands to differentiate in competitive categories meanwhile optimize cost structure based on serving size and production scale.

RiverPharm operates under Good Manufacturing Practice to ensure quality is controlled across the entire supply chain—from raw material sourcing to final product shipment.

For sourcing, we work only with qualified and audited suppliers, and all incoming raw materials undergo strict identity, purity, and contaminant testing before release into production.

During manufacturing, each batch is produced under ISO 7 cleanroom with in-process quality checks at key stages, including blending, encapsulation, and packaging, ensuring consistency and process stability.

Before shipment, finished products go through final quality testing and QA review, including specification verification and documentation checks, and are only released after meeting all quality requirements.

This end-to-end system ensures that every product delivered is safe, consistent, and compliant with cGMP standards.

Yes. Beyond basic guidance, RiverPharm integrates third-party testing and certification planning directly into the production workflow.

We support documentation preparation, coordinate with accredited laboratories, and align manufacturing records to meet regulatory and retailer compliance standards — helping brands streamline audits and reduce approval timelines.

Dietary supplement manufacturing costs vary based on several key factors, including:

· Ingredient selection and sourcing · Dosage and serving size · Delivery format (capsule, powder, stick pack, etc.) · Packaging type and configuration · Testing and compliance requirements

Product unit cost is also influenced by order volume. In general, larger production runs allow fixed costs—such as setup, testing, and production line allocation—to be distributed more efficiently, resulting in a more competitive per-unit price.

When you need a more detailed cost breakdown, we will develop a clear tiered pricing structure based on your product specifications and order volume. This quotation will include core manufacturing costs as well as any applicable additional service fees, giving you full visibility into cost composition at each production level.

Yes. For capsule manufacturing, we do not enforce a strict fixed MOQ. However, we generally recommend starting at 2,000+ units to achieve better cost efficiency and production stability. Higher order volumes typically reduce per-unit costs by spreading fixed production expenses across a larger batch, while also supporting more stable inventory planning for growing brands.

Standard production lead time for capsule orders is approximately 6–8 weeks from formula approval and deposit confirmation. For time-sensitive launches, expedited production may be available with a shortened timeline of approximately 3–4 weeks, subject to ingredient availability and scheduling.

We assess each project individually to recommend an order volume and production schedule aligned with your launch timeline and growth objectives.

We typically require a 50% deposit to begin production, with the remaining balance due before shipment. For established customers, NET 30 terms may be available upon approval.

We accept wire transfers, credit cards, and ACH payments. Final payment terms will be confirmed in the official quotation or manufacturing agreement.

Yes. As a full-service contract manufacturer, we support a wide range of eco-friendly packaging solutions across bottles, pouches, stick packs, and sachets, with options for recyclable, biodegradable, and reduced-plastic materials.

We also provide end-to-end packaging sourcing and design support, helping brands balance sustainability requirements with product protection, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency.

Yes. RiverPharm can support domestic and international shipping for finished supplement orders. Available shipping options may include express delivery, air freight, sea freight, truck delivery, or third-party logistics coordination depending on your destination, timeline, and order volume.

Capsules offer more precise dosing and typically contain little to no sugar compared to gummies. They are often preferred for deficiency correction, sugar-free formulations, or high-potency supplements.

They are a better choice for individuals managing specific nutrient deficiencies, consumers following low-sugar or diabetic-friendly diets, and those who prioritize dosage accuracy and formulation purity over taste convenience.
