How a Nutrilite Product Is Formulated
The process of formulating a NUTRILITE product usually follows this sequence:
- The ingredients are evaluated for their physical properties – particle size and uniformity, density, and flow.
- Trial combinations of ingredients are tested with excipients (inert substances) to evaluate how the blend flows.
- The ingredients are compressed, producing prototype tablets.
- Prototype tablets are evaluated for physical characteristics – hardness, dimensions, coating, propensity for discoloration, and stability of active markers.
- Initial formulations are fine-tuned, and steps 1 – 4 are repeated.
- The final formula is determined.
- The finished tablets are created and evaluated for physical properties, stability, and active markers.
- Manufacturing instructions are developed through scale-up trials, from gram quantities to hundreds-of-kilograms quantities.
- A production-plant trial of the formula is run to produce finished tablets.
From ingredient evaluation to final tablet production, our formulation process ensures consistent quality and performance in every
NUTRILITE product.
