Find nutraceutical manufacturers in Italy.

A nutraceutical brief has more moving parts than a supplement brief, and the parts interact. Getting them separated early is most of what makes a requirement quotable.

The parts of the brief, separated

Buyers often present these as one requirement. Manufacturers price them separately, and a manufacturer suited to one may be wrong for another.

  • Formulation — does it exist, or does it need developing?
  • Dosage format — the same formula in a capsule and a sachet are different production questions
  • Target market — determines permitted ingredients, labelling and documentation
  • Commercial volume — first order and realistic repeat
  • Manufacturing requirements — certifications, standards, testing
  • Packaging — often the constraint that decides the shortlist

Target market shapes the shortlist

What is permitted in one market is not automatically permitted in another, and requirements differ by destination. A manufacturer accustomed to the market you are entering is worth more than one who has to learn it on your order. Which manufacturers those are is part of what the research answers.

What the brief needs

What makes this quotable.

Blanks are fine — an open question is usually the starting point. These are simply what a manufacturer needs before it can price anything.

  1. 01Product concept or existing formulation
  2. 02Dosage format
  3. 03Destination market or markets
  4. 04Indicative volumes
  5. 05Any certification or testing requirement

Common questions

Can you advise on formulation?

No. Nucleo is a commercial sourcing business, not a formulation laboratory and not a source of clinical or regulatory advice. Formulation sits with the manufacturer and with your own regulatory advisers.

Who is responsible for regulatory compliance?

The manufacturer you contract with holds responsibility for product compliance and documentation. Our part is making sure your destination market's requirements are in the conversation from the first brief, rather than discovered at the end.

Tell us what you need sourced.

One brief is enough to start. We read it before we reply.
