Custom supplement formulation in the EU
Vita is an EU contract manufacturer in Ljubljana, Slovenia that builds supplement products from a blank sheet. You bring a target: an ingredient deck, a benefit area, a competitor product, or just a rough idea. Our formulators turn it into a finished, finished supplement with full documentation behind every batch. We draw on 300+ existing formulations and 15+ years of production to move fast and keep the recipe manufacturable at scale. Every claim is checked against EU and EFSA rules before it reaches a label, so you launch on solid regulatory ground. Available formats include capsules, tablets, softgels, powders and gummies. You get a 24-hour quote on your brief, then a costed formula, samples and a clear route to first production run. Minimums stay low so you can test the market before committing volume.

Formula draft and costing
Our team designs a manufacturable recipe at a target dose, sources the actives, and prices it per unit at your expected volume. We flag anything that affects EU compliance early.
- 3
Samples and tasting
We produce sample batches so you can check fill, taste, texture and stability before scaling. Adjustments are made on real product, not on paper.
- 4
Compliance sign-off
Each ingredient and dose is checked against EFSA authorised claims, maximum levels and novel food status. We word the benefit language so it holds up across EU markets.
- 5
First production run
Once you approve, we run the batch under tight quality control with full documentation, then hand off to packaging and fulfilment.

- A costed, manufacturable formula at your target dose

Why brands formulate with Vita
Most contract manufacturers want you to pick from a fixed catalogue. We do both. If a stock formula fits, you launch in weeks. If it does not, our formulators build something that does, and they keep it producible so the cost holds when you scale. Fifteen years of batches means we already know which actives blend, which degrade, and which break a tablet press.
- Founder-to-founder pricing with no inflated minimums
- Formulators who have shipped 300+ recipes
- Honest answers on what an active can and cannot claim
- One team from idea to finished, packed product
Built for EU launch from day one
A formula that works in the lab but breaks EU labelling rules is a dead product. We check doses against maximum permitted levels, confirm novel food status, and align benefit wording with the EFSA claims register before you spend on packaging. That keeps your launch clean across Slovenia, Germany, France and the wider single market.
Frequently asked questions
Can you formulate from just an idea? +
Yes. A benefit area or a competitor product is enough. We translate it into a costed, manufacturable recipe and send samples before you commit.
How long does custom formulation take? +
It depends on complexity, but stock-based formulas move in weeks. Fully novel recipes take longer because of sampling and stability checks. You get a realistic timeline with your quote.
Do you check that the formula is legal to sell in the EU? +
Yes. We verify doses against maximum levels, check novel food status, and word claims against the EFSA register before any label is printed.
What is the minimum order for a custom formula? +
Custom work routes into either white label or private label production, so minimums start from 100 units depending on format and packaging.
