Manufacturing by format
Capsule supplement manufacturing
Capsule manufacturing is the process of filling a two-piece shell with a powder, granule or pellet blend to make a precise, swallowable dose. Vita Supplements is an EU contract manufacturer in Ljubljana, Slovenia that produces white label and private label capsules for brands across Europe, in vegan HPMC or gelatin shells from size 4 up to size 00. Capsules are the most flexible format we run: they take most actives without taste masking, fill fast, and look clean on shelf. White label capsules start at a 100-unit MOQ with a 1 to 4 week lead time; fully custom private label runs start at 500 units over 4 to 8 weeks. Every batch is made in the EU with full documentation and a certificate of analysis, and you get a costed quote within 24 hours.

Why choose capsules, and the honest trade-offs
Capsules are the fastest, lowest-friction format and the right default for most powders and extracts. The trade-off is dose ceiling: a single capsule holds a limited fill, so gram-scale doses like protein or high-dose glucosamine need a powder or a tablet instead. For most vitamins, minerals, botanicals and probiotics, a capsule is the cleanest route to market.
MOQ and lead time for capsules
White label capsules start at 100 units with a 1 to 4 week lead time, which makes them the easiest format to test a new SKU in. Custom private label formulas start at 500 units over 4 to 8 weeks. Pricing improves at higher volumes, and reorders of a held formula are fast and consistent batch to batch.
