The Supplements Formulation & Labelling tool is a centralized, cloud-based solution designed for supplement manufacturers. It enables you to:
Manage ingredients and formulas in one location
Formulate dietary supplements with precision
Generate FDA-compliant Supplement Facts labels quickly and accurately
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Add Your Ingredients
Add dietary ingredients—such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids—into the system. You can specify whether each compound is active or inactive and include additional properties relevant for formulation.
Classifying Ingredients: Active vs. Inactive
Accurate classification of ingredients on a Supplement Facts Panel is essential for compliance and proper representation of the product.
Active ingredients are the ones that serve a functional purpose in the supplement (vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, etc.). Inactive ingredients are fillers, binders, coatings, or other non-functional additives. The same ingredient can be active in one formula and inactive in another, so always classify based on its actual role in your specific formula rather than the ingredient name alone — this determines whether it appears on the Supplement Facts panel or in "Other Ingredients."
2. Build Your Formula
Construct your supplement formula by adjusting ingredient quantities. Advanced features help automate calculations for:
Overage
Moisture loss
Organic percentage
This ensures your formula meets target claims and maintains precision.
3. Generate & Customize Your Label
Choose from compliant label formats and customize details such as:
Customizing Labels with Daggers (†)
To include daggers (†) for specific ingredients, follow these customization steps:
Adding Components Individually: Break down each ingredient into components and manually toggle the dagger for relevant items.
Using Parent and Component Ingredients: Structure your label with parent ingredients (e.g., blends) and sub-ingredients, disabling the toggle for the parent but enabling daggers for relevant components.- Restructure Ingredient Rows: If an ingredient row lacks the left-side expand arrow for per-component controls, restructure it to ensure each item appears as a component with its own display controls, including the dagger toggle.
Ingredient statements
Allergen declarations
Format layout
Then export your Supplement Facts label in high-resolution with just a few clicks.
4. Ensure Ongoing FDA Compliance The software automatically checks your ingredients against the latest FDA guidelines, helping catch potential compliance issues early—no need for manual cross-checks.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Missing Dagger Option: Ensure that ingredients are structured as individual components or within a parent-component hierarchy to enable the dagger toggle.
Ingredient Classification Errors: Double-check supplier documentation to confirm the active or inactive status of ingredients.
FAQ
Q: Can I create FDA-compliant Supplement Facts labels directly in the platform?
A: Yes. The tool manages layout, rounding rules, mandatory nutrients, and allergen flagging automatically.
Q: How does compliance stay up to date?
A: The software continually checks ingredients against the most recent FDA regulations, helping to prevent errors or omissions.
Q: What should I do if I can’t toggle daggers for individual ingredients? A: Review the ingredient setup to ensure each item is a separate component. Restructure as necessary to include independent toggling options. If the left-side expand arrow is missing for per-component controls, restructure the ingredient row to enable individual toggling options.
