Intermountain Nutrition partners with you to create custom, market-ready superfood formulations that meet today’s consumer expectations.
Botanical powders and extracts vary widely in solubility and particle size, which directly impacts capsule fill weight, flowability, and consistency. Formulation strategies focus on optimizing blend uniformity and capsule performance.
While capsules inherently reduce taste exposure, strong-smelling botanicals may still require consideration during manufacturing to ensure a clean consumer experience.
Natural variability in plant materials requires careful supplier qualification and specification management to maintain batch-to-batch consistency.
Herbal ingredients are sensitive to moisture, heat, and oxygen. Proper excipient selection and packaging strategies help preserve potency throughout shelf life.
What types of botanicals can be used in capsule formulations?
Botanical capsules can include whole herb powders, standardized extracts, or a combination of both. Ingredient selection depends on desired positioning, dosage requirements, and manufacturing considerations.
Are vegetarian or vegan capsule options available?
Yes. HPMC (vegetarian) capsules are commonly used for botanical formulations and align well with plant-based and clean-label branding.
Can you manufacture single-ingredient and blended herbal capsules?
Intermountain Nutrition supports both single-ingredient products and complex multi-botanical blends, depending on formulation goals and feasibility.
How do you manage variability in herbal raw materials?
We work with qualified suppliers and defined specifications to manage natural variability, supporting consistency across production batches.
Do botanical capsules require preservatives?
Most botanical capsule formulations do not require preservatives when properly formulated and packaged, though shelf-life considerations are evaluated during development.
