Which electrolyte tablet formula can I put under my own brand?
One example formula is listed: an effervescent tablet with sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, vitamin C and vitamin B2. Your brand takes it as listed, or the doses are changed to your specification. Amounts are those printed per tablet, and the label also shows them for three tablets.
| Per ingredient | 1 tablet | 3 tablets | % NRV, 1 tablet and 3 tablets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium | 270 mg | 810 mg | No NRV is set |
| Potassium | 100 mg | 300 mg | 5% and 15% |
| Magnesium | 25 mg | 75 mg | 6.7% and 20% |
| Calcium | 15 mg | 45 mg | 1.9% and 5.6% |
| Vitamin C | 40 mg | 120 mg | 50% and 150% |
| Vitamin B2 | 1 mg | 3 mg | 71% and 214% |
The tube holds 20 tablets of 4 g; the tablets in a tube weigh 80 g. The percentages are the amount divided by the reference value in Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, Annex XIII, Part A; the figures printed on your carton are settled when you approve the artwork. The full composition, with excipients, is sent on request. The product name on your tube is set at the approval step.
Neighbouring pages: private label magnesium, private label vitamin C and private label calcium. The wider list is on ready-made formulas.
What is the minimum order for private label electrolyte tablets?
A low minimum order, counted in tubes, not in cartons or kilograms. The number of tubes is given in our reply to your enquiry, and each enquiry gets its own quote.
Say how many tubes you plan for the first run and the country of sale. Production takes from 4 weeks, on the example formula or on a formula of your own; transport is added and depends on the destination. The other formats count their own way: powders in kilograms, blister runs in cartons and blisters. Every figure is on minimum order quantity and lead times.
Can I order white label electrolytes with a formula that is already made?
Yes. A ready-made formula goes to your brand with your tube artwork, and you receive a sample of the existing product before you order. Name the category, the format and the country of sale, and we send the ready-made formulas that fit.
A formula of your own is the private label route: send the composition with your enquiry, and our reply confirms whether it can be made as an effervescent tablet. If it can, a sample is developed first, and production starts once you have approved the sample and then the artwork. The rights to a formula developed for you are set in the contract. More on white label supplements and private label supplements.
Can electrolytes be made as a powder in sachets?
Yes. Electrolyte powder is filled into sachets of one serving each, printed for your brand, from 300 kg counted by weight, with production from 4 weeks.
Yes: an electrolyte powder in sachets is made to a formula of your own: send the composition with the enquiry, and our reply confirms it. A sample is developed to your brief, and the serving is settled with the sample; the serving then sets how many sachets 300 kg fills. Sachet layout, printing and the sum are on powder sachets.
Can electrolyte minerals go into a blister?
Tablets and capsules that carry electrolyte minerals go into blisters, with each dose sealed in its own cavity. Blister is the main pack at HYPERPHARM: a run starts from 2,000 cartons printed for your brand, at least 4,000 blisters, and takes from 2 weeks.
The ready-made formulas list includes potassium 300 mg as chloride capsules, and magnesium tablets and capsules are on private label magnesium. An effervescent tablet stays in its tube. For the other minerals, a tablet or a capsule is a formula of its own, confirmed in our reply. Sizes, films and cartons: tablets in blisters, capsules in blisters and blister films.
How do I show sodium, potassium and %NRV on the label?
Labels show each mineral and vitamin per daily portion in milligrams and, where an EU reference value exists, the percentage next to it. Sodium has no reference value in Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, Annex XIII, Part A, so it is shown in milligrams alone.
The reference values for the other ingredients in the example formula are:
| Nutrient | EU reference value (NRV) |
|---|---|
| Potassium | 2,000 mg |
| Calcium | 800 mg |
| Magnesium | 375 mg |
| Vitamin C | 80 mg |
| Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) | 1.4 mg |
The portion is the one your carton recommends for a day, so the same tablet shows a different percentage on a carton that says three tablets than on one that says one. How sodium is declared outside the EU is set by the market: your importer confirms it, and the artwork follows before it is approved.
What is the maximum dose of potassium or magnesium in a supplement?
The maximum amounts of minerals and vitamins in a food supplement are set by the authority of each market. Your importer confirms the limits for the target market before the artwork is approved, and the strength on the tube follows them.
Name the strengths in the enquiry, and our reply confirms them. Regional pages: the Middle East and Africa. Registration in the country of sale is filed by your importer with our documents; see export documents.
What must a tube made with sorbitol say on the label?
Under Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, Annex III, point 2.4, a food containing more than 10% added polyols authorised under Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 must carry the statement "excessive consumption may produce laxative effects". Sorbitol is one of those polyols.
Whether a given tablet reaches that share depends on its full composition, so the statement is settled before you approve the tube artwork. The same goes for any wording about sugar: in the EU, Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 allows a "sugars-free" claim only up to 0.5 g of sugars per 100 g or 100 ml. Outside the EU the rules of the country of sale apply, and your importer confirms them.
Can the tube be in Arabic or French, and can the batch be halal?
Yes to both. The tube and its artwork are laid out and printed in the language of the country of sale, to its rules, or printed from artwork you supply. Steps: Arabic and French packaging.
Halal certification is arranged for each batch of your product when your market asks for it, by one of two routes: a certification company visits and issues the certificate, or an auditor is present while the batch is made. Raise it with your enquiry, so the route is agreed before the sample. More on halal supplements.
What documents come with a batch of electrolyte tablets?
Each batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis and a specification, and shelf life is 24 months as standard. The plant is ISO 22000, GMP and HACCP certified, with GMP for food supplements, and registered with the US FDA as a food facility; for effervescent tablets the certificates stand as those of the site. Copies with their numbers go to clients on request.
For the destination file we arrange the export documents a market asks for: Certificate of Free Sale, Certificate of Manufacture, apostille and consular legalisation. See export documents and shelf life and storage, to plan back from the date your distributor needs the goods.
How do I get a sample of a private label electrolyte tablet?
Send an enquiry with the format, the number of tubes and the country of sale. For the example formula you receive a sample of the existing product before you order, and we reply within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
After the sample come approval of the tube artwork, production, and delivery EXW by default, FCA or DAP on request. Each enquiry gets its own quote.
Tube, sachet or blister: which suits my electrolyte product?
The tube suits a tablet that is dissolved in water, the sachet a powder taken one serving at a time, and the blister a tablet or capsule swallowed whole. What each choice costs you in run size, time or risk:
| Your choice | What changes | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Effervescent tablet in a tube | Example formula as listed, or doses changed | Run: a low minimum order, by tube count. Time: from 4 weeks |
| Powder in sachets | A formula of your own, developed into a sample first | Run: from 300 kg, counted by weight. Time: from 4 weeks, plus the sample |
| Potassium or magnesium tablet or capsule in a blister | A solid dose sealed one by one in a printed carton | Run: from 2,000 cartons and at least 4,000 blisters. Time: from 2 weeks |
| A sorbitol base | The polyol statement may be needed on the tube | Time: settled before the artwork is approved |
| A strength or a mineral not on the list | A formula of your own, or the listed one with changed doses | Time: a sample is developed first |
| A market with its own limits, an Arabic or French tube, halal | Your importer confirms the limits; artwork built to the country's rules; halal per batch | Time: artwork approved before print |
