Strict Quality Governance
Certified c-GMP manufacturing & export documentation
Every batch produced at our Springville, Utah facility undergoes rigorous analytical batch release testing. We provide full compliance documentation to support smooth customs clearance for overseas buyers in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Full Certificate of Analysis
Every shipment is accompanied by a detailed Certificate of Analysis (CoA) from ISO 17025 accredited third-party laboratories detailing active ingredient assay, heavy metals (ICP-MS), microbiology, and peroxide/anisidine oxidation values.
Peroxide & Anisidine Monitoring
To ensure freshness and eliminate rancid tastes in fish oils and lipid blends, we maintain strict total oxidation (TOTOX) testing protocols on raw ingredients, in-process fill oils, and finished softgel batches.
Global Export Support
We supply complete regulatory dossiers for global distribution, including Certificate of Free Sale (CFS), BSE/TSE-Free Statements, Allergen Declarations, Halal/Kosher certificates, and US FDA Registration documentation.

Procurement & Technical Clarifications
Softgel contract manufacturing FAQs
Key answers for commercial procurement managers, technical formulation directors, and international buyers.
Our standard production MOQs start at 5,000 retail-ready bottles for private label programs and emerging DTC brands. For bulk unbottled softgel capsules exported in cartons with moisture-barrier liners, our baseline encapsulation batch size starts at 100,000 softgels per formulation.
We provide pharmaceutical-grade 200-Bloom Bovine Gelatin, Porcine Gelatin, Kosher & Halal certified Fish Gelatin (ideal for pescatarian diets), and 100% vegetarian non-GMO Plant Starch (Tapioca-based). Capsules can be customized in clear, opaque, tinted, or two-tone colors with options for enteric or chewable shell textures.
Our Springville, Utah facility implements closed-system liquid transfer and continuous nitrogen purging across all oil blending tanks, aging tanks, and encapsulation hoppers. This ensures dissolved oxygen remains near zero, suppressing peroxide values (PV) and maintaining low TOTOX scores throughout the product's shelf life.
Yes. We offer aqueous-based, solvent-free enteric coating that enables softgels to remain intact through the acidic environment of the stomach (pH 1.2) and dissolve completely in the alkaline fluid of the small intestine (pH 6.8). This format is widely used to prevent fishy burps, protect acid-sensitive nutrients, and maximize intestinal absorption.
Every manufactured batch is released with a comprehensive regulatory file containing the finished product Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with heavy metal, microbial, and assay data, cGMP Compliance Certificate, Master Batch Record summary, BSE/TSE-Free Statement, Allergen Declaration, and Certificate of Free Sale (CFS).
