All-in-One Supplement Manufacturing and Development

Lipa is a full-service supplement manufacturer — we provide an all-in-one package covering everything your business needs to create your ideal supplement product from formulation to manufacturing and packaging.

Our packaging services for supplement products allow for two main options: plastic bottles, or glass bottles. Based on your requirements, we may be able to arrange for customised packaging for your supplement products, along with attaining the necessary certification and labelling.

The Supplement Manufacturing Process

1. Determining the supplement product


Initial discussions to narrow down the scope of the supplement product — targeting specific health needs, boosting performance during sports activity, or improving overall wellness.

2. Research and development

Product development by our team of scientists, clinical nutritionists, and dieticians to refine the formula of the supplement product.

3. Securing novel and TGA-approved ingredients Leveraging global supply chain connections to obtain high-quality ingredients, including early access to the newest approved materials by the TGA. 4. Quality and stability testing Assessments of preliminary formulas to determine quality of texture, efficacy, safety, and shelf-life performance under different storage conditions. 5. Manufacturing in GMP-compliant production facilities The refined final formula will be manufactured locally in Lipa Pharmaceuticals’ state-of-the-art facilities to ensure a consistent supplement product. 6. Packaging and labelling Customisable packaging services that protect and preserve the integrity of the product during distribution and storage. Our team will also assist with obtaining the necessary AUST R or AUST L labels for regulatory compliance.

Supplement Manufacturing FAQs

What are the regulations for supplements in Australia?

Health supplements are generally considered to be low-risk complementary medicines by the TGA. Supplement products that make general health claims must obtain the AUST L label to be sold in Australia. Under the AUST L requirement, supplements must meet quality standards and provide evidence that substantiates any health claims made. Products that do not meet these requirements may be taken off the market. 

Sports supplements can be classified as foods or therapeutic goods. Sport supplement products that are considered therapeutic goods must be entered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) before they can be sold or marketed in Australia. 

Lipa Pharmaceuticals has a rigorous testing and quality assurance process to ensure that all manufactured supplements are fully compliant with these regulations. We can provide assistance to review labels to ensure compliance with TGA guidelines for manufactured sports supplements. 

How long will supplement manufacturing take?

Custom supplement formulas may take up to 6 months to finalise and manufacture from RFQ to dispatch of finished goods — the process includes the stages of ingredient sourcing, research and development, and testing. 

Private-label supplement manufacturing has a similar timeline. Private-label is suitable for businesses that want a turnkey solution for a line of health supplements proven in terms of efficacy and quality. 

Manufacturing timelines can also vary depending on the volume of the order.
