Section 2: Process & Capabilities
What is your supplement development process?
We follow a step-by-step process including product discovery, formulation, ingredient sourcing, pilot testing, manufacturing, quality testing, and packaging. Each step is tailored to your brand’s goals, target audience, and compliance needs.
Can you reformulate an existing product?
Yes. We improve taste, solubility, efficacy, and cost efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance. Reformulation is ideal for brands upgrading formulas or switching to clean label ingredients.
Do you offer research and development support?
Yes. At Intermountain Nutrition, our research and development (R&D) team plays a key role in helping brands create high-quality, market-ready supplements.
We provide comprehensive R&D support across every stage of product development, including ingredient selection, formulation optimization, dosage recommendations, functional claim alignment, and trend integration.
How do you handle flavoring and taste masking?
We develop custom flavor profiles and taste-masking solutions to ensure that your supplements are not only effective but also enjoyable to consume. This is especially important for gummies, powders, chewables, and other formats where taste and texture can impact consumer satisfaction and repeat purchases.
What quality testing do you provide?
We coordinate third-party testing right on-site to test potency, purity, and safety, giving brands confidence that their products meet regulatory and retail standards.
Section 3: Choosing a Co-Manufacturer
How do I choose the right dietary supplement manufacturer?
Choosing the right dietary supplement manufacturer is a critical decision that impacts product quality, regulatory compliance, speed to market, scalability, and ultimately your brand’s success.
Start by looking for a cGMP-certified manufacturer with a proven track record of producing safe, high-quality supplements across multiple formats, including capsules, powders, and gummies.
Can you help with regulatory compliance?
Yes. While we do not provide legal advice, we guide brands through FDA labeling regulations, documentation, and supplement compliance standards.
Do you support clean label or natural supplements?
Yes. Clean label is a priority. We help brands minimize artificial additives, unnecessary excipients, and allergens, delivering products that resonate with health-conscious consumers.
Do you work with startups as well as established brands?
Yes. We partner with brands at all stages — from first product launches to national retail scale-ups — but we are particularly well-suited for rapidly growing brands that need scalable solutions, expert guidance on formulation and compliance, and a co-manufacturing partner who can keep pace with their growth trajectory.
