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.
