What We Do
Our End-to-End Nutraceutical Product Development Services
Food Research Lab, we provide nutraceutical product development services including functional foods product development. Our work is based on science, consumer insights and quality and regulatory considerations around safety.
Our Product Prototype Approach
Co-creation with stakeholders and consumer insights ensures that every product aligns with health-conscious product development trends and market expectations.
We prioritize clean, authentic ingredients—sourced from non-GMO, organic, allergen-free, gluten-free, and pesticide-free sources. Our formulations are designed to meet the highest standards while delivering optimal nutritional benefits for nutraceutical product development.
At FRL, transparency is paramount. We craft clean labels by replacing undesirable ingredients with high-quality, natural alternatives, providing transparency regarding functional food ingredients and ensuring regulatory compliance.
We ensure that our prototypes not only meet nutritional requirements but also provide the perfect balance of taste, texture, and color, which is crucial for successful nutraceutical product formulation and consumer satisfaction.
Our formulations meet both local and international regulatory standards, including FDA, EU, FSSAI, and ASEAN guidelines.
Every product is designed with the targeted nutritional needs of consumers in mind, contributing positively to health through nutraceutical product development with reduced sugar and low-calorie content. We incorporate functional food ingredients like Stevia and erythritol to create healthier options.
Functional and health claims are fully substantiated and compliant with regulatory norms, ensuring the credibility of your dietary supplement development.
How We Work
Ideation and Concept Brief
An initial product vision is defined including the target health benefit, dosage form, market segment and claims intended for the final product.
Scientific Research and Ingredient selection
We select the actives and clean-label ingredients – backed by compelling evidence and safety – to offer best in class nutraceutical product formulation that are effective, safe, with appropriate and compliant health claims
Prototype Formulation
Prototype formulations are created, refined and lab tested. Taste, texture, stability and functional performance are all optimized to produce a superior nutraceutical product formulation.
Analytical Testing and Validation
Studies are performed to ensure results on stability, microbiology, bioavailability, and shelf-life
Regulatory and Documentation Support
Dossier preparation, formulation and label, claim substantiation and all other documentation requirements are prepared according to local regulations relative to a FSSAI, FDA, EFSA or other regionally appropriate process.
Pilot Production and Scale-Up
After pilot scale manufacturing to confirm specifications and performance, a shift occurs to a scale-up or commercial manufacturing process, ensuring seamless transition from dietary supplement development to market readiness.
We ensure each nutraceutical and health supplements formulation meets all stages of international safety, quality, and regulatory requirements — from raw materials to final labelling.
- Documentation & Safety Assessments: Manufacturing charts, ingredient lists, GMO status, certifications, radiation/pesticide residues, microbiology, allergens, animal derivation, MSDS safety reports for nutraceutical product development services.
- Supplier & Ingredient Approval: Clearance from target country regulatory agencies, strict evaluation, multi-supplier validation.
- Global Standards & Guidelines: cGMP, FDA, EU, ASEAN, FSSAI, BPOM, NPRA, PFDA, HSA, TFDA, ANVISA, NHRA, EDA, NAFDAC, and more for nutraceutical product development.
