Ship a batch to the Midwest. Ship another to the south. And yet another across the continental United States.

Weeks of added time on an already delayed GTM schedule. Another line review meeting missed.

There are a lot of perks to working with a supplement manufacturer with the extensive on-site testing capabilities—and standards—we have at Vitaquest. Speed to market is a big one. Constant innovation is another.

When those two worlds collide, you get Solaris® Rapid Micro testing system, which reduces extended hold times caused by traditional USP microbiological testing.

Learn about how the Solaris® platform dramatically reduces testing time by up to 86%: https://zurl.co/r2fEe

Postbiotics are quickly becoming one of the most talked-about ingredients in microbiome innovation.

Unlike probiotics, postbiotics don't need to remain alive to support their intended function, giving supplement brands greater flexibility during formulation, manufacturing, and storage. Combined with growing research into gut, immune, skin, and metabolic wellness, they're creating new opportunities for product development.

Learn what postbiotics are, their potential benefits, and why more brands are adding them to their innovation pipeline.

Chewable probiotic tablets are an efficacious format, but they can be tricky to formulate.

For example, moisture & water activity of the other ingredients in probiotic formulations can kill off even the most robust strains.

Also, many popular sugar-free sweeteners & flavor systems like allulose, xylitol & mannitol are near impossible to compress with great chewability.

But we’ve made it possible. By leveraging our specialty powder drying capabilities and new state-of-the-art probiotic manufacturing suite, we can pair high-quality probiotic strains with complementary ingredients and flavors creating tasty and functional chewable tablets.
