Supplements — Vitamins & minerals
Vitamin, mineral and multivitamin manufacturing for supplement brands.
We translate active forms and target serving into a manufacturable capsule or powder, coordinate ingredient sourcing and documentation, and select the specialist European partner suited to the complete formula.
The category
A broad category built from precise ingredient decisions.
Vitamin and mineral projects range from one active to complex multivitamin and mineral blends. In every case, the named nutrient is only the starting point: active form, compound quantity, target serving, ingredient compatibility and dosage format define the actual product.
Common commercial categories include vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, B-complex and multivitamin/mineral formulas. These are examples, not a claim that every form or formula is available; suitability and supply are confirmed per project with specialist partners.
- Primary route
- HPMC capsules where suitable
- Formula scope
- Single nutrients and multi-ingredient formulas
- Delivered through
- Specialist European manufacturing partners selected per project
Formulation decisions
The decisions that shape a vitamin or mineral formula.
Defined before samples and quotes so every option is compared against the same product brief.
- Active ingredient form
- The form of each vitamin or mineral is selected against the formulation, format and target-market brief; availability is confirmed per project.
- Elemental or active quantity
- Where relevant, the declared nutrient amount and the compound weight are distinguished so the true fill requirement is clear.
- Target serving and capsule count
- The complete fill determines whether the serving works in a practical HPMC capsule format or points to another route.
- Single or multi-ingredient
- A focused vitamin or mineral product, a B-complex, or a broader multivitamin/mineral formula with compatibility assessed across the blend.
Dosage-form options
Dosage formats follow the formula.
HPMC capsules are the primary route where fill and serving permit. Powders are considered when they better suit the product.
- 01
HPMC capsules
Suitable for many single- and multi-ingredient products where the target serving fits a practical capsule count.
- 02
Multi-nutrient capsules
Several vitamins and minerals blended with attention to minor-ingredient distribution, bulk and compatibility.
- 03
Powders
A route for larger servings or drink-format concepts, where taste, dispersibility and packaging become development inputs.
Formula decision flow
From nutrient form to pack.
The full formula, format and pack are defined before the specialist partner is selected.
01
Nutrient form
Each vitamin or mineral form defined against the formula and target market brief.
02
Target dose
Declared quantities translated into compound weights and a practical serving.
03
Compatibility
Ingredients reviewed together for processing and packaging requirements.
04
Format
Capsule or powder selected according to fill, serving and product concept; suitability confirmed per formula.
05
Pack
Barrier, count and presentation matched to the formula and filling route.
Ingredients & production
Formulation and production considerations.
Assessed for the actual active forms and combination rather than treated as generic category properties.
Compound quantity
For minerals in particular, the compound weight can be materially different from the declared elemental quantity and directly affects fill.
Bulk density and flow
The blend's physical properties influence capsule volume, fill consistency and whether excipients are needed.
Minor-ingredient distribution
Multi-ingredient formulas need an appropriate blending approach so lower-quantity actives are distributed consistently.
Moisture and oxidation sensitivity
Sensitivity is assessed per ingredient and formula, then reflected in handling and packaging decisions with the partner.
Ingredient compatibility
The full combination is reviewed for formulation, processing and pack requirements before production.
Partner-dependent variables
MOQ, batch size and lead time.
These depend on the formula, selected partner, dosage format and pack. We confirm project-specific terms rather than publishing generic numbers.
- 01
Minimum order quantity
Confirmed after formula complexity, format and packaging route are defined.
- 02
Batch fit
Matched to forecast and the selected partner's suitable production route.
- 03
Lead time
Depends on active supply, documentation, packaging and available production slots.
- 04
Unit cost
Driven by active forms, compound quantities, serving, capsule count and pack.
Packaging
Packaging matched to the complete formula.
Bottle, jar, pouch or blister options are considered against capsule count, channel and the formula's project-specific moisture, oxygen and light sensitivity.
For powder concepts, closure, liner or laminate and filling route are specified with the blend and confirmed by the selected partner.
Quality & documentation
Ingredient documentation and finished-product release.
Each active and excipient is sourced against a written specification with supporting documentation reviewed for the project. Finished batches are released against the agreed product specification.
Quality systems and certifications belong to the relevant manufacturing partner and are checked against the formula and target market during selection.
Quality framework
Standards represented across our manufacturing partners.
We work with certified specialist manufacturing partners and prioritise partners operating under relevant quality and food-safety standards. Certifications are held by the respective partners; applicability is confirmed for each product and manufacturing route.
Partner standards · where applicable
GMP
Good Manufacturing Practice
ISO 22000
Food safety management
FSSC 22000
Food safety system certification
HACCP
Hazard analysis & critical control points
EKO
Organic certification
Origin signal
Made in EU
Production within our European partner network. A positioning signal — not a certification.
Certifications are held by individual manufacturing partners where applicable. AVENTRO does not itself issue or hold these certifications.
Manufacturer selection
Choosing a vitamin and mineral manufacturer.
The right partner depends on formula complexity, format and documentation needs. We compare on:
- 01
Formula experience
Relevant handling of single nutrients and multi-ingredient vitamin and mineral blends.
- 02
Blending capability
Equipment and methods suited to the quantities and physical properties across the formula.
- 03
Capsule or powder route
Filling capability matched to target serving, bulk and dosage-format decision.
- 04
Ingredient documentation
Processes for reviewing and controlling the specified active materials.
- 05
Packing options
Suitable in-house packing or a coordinated specialist packing route.
- 06
Commercial fit
Batch fit, pack options and project terms compared on one specification.
Product route
Custom formulation or an existing partner formula.
Custom vitamin or mineral formulation
Active forms, target serving, combinations, dosage format and pack developed around your product brief.
Private-label route where available
A suitable existing formula may offer a shorter route. Actual formula, active-form and pack availability are confirmed with the selected partner per project.
Manufacturing route
From brief to released batch.
- Step 01
Brief
Product concept, active direction, target serving, market, format and commercial requirements.
- Step 02
Specification
Active forms, quantities, compatibility, dosage format and pack defined.
- Step 03
Source & select

Release
Finished batch released against specification, packed and dispatched.
The AVENTRO role
How we coordinate a vitamin and mineral project.
AVENTRO is not tied to a single production facility. We define the product with you, source the raw materials, select the specialist manufacturing partner from our European network that fits the format and volume, and coordinate production through to released, packed goods.
Manufacturing formats
How it can be manufactured.
Services often combined with it.
