SCIENCE AND QUALITY
THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS,
THE RIGHT CHOICES,
REAL VALUE
When developing a formula, we consider each ingredient's source, form, amount and purpose, its relationship with other ingredients, and the presentation that will protect the finished product.
Science guides our choices.
Quality is how we turn those choices into a product.
02 · UNDERSTANDING THE NEED
EVERY FORMULA
STARTS WITH A NEED
First, we seek to understand the need and the biological process we aim to support. We then develop the formula by evaluating the ingredients, forms and amounts suited to that goal.
- Need
- Biological target
- Ingredient
- Form
- Amount
- Formula
- Product presentation
For us, formulation is a thought process that begins before the ingredient list.
03 · CHOOSING THE FORM
EVERY INGREDIENT HAS
AN APPROPRIATE FORM
Vitamins, minerals, botanical extracts and other ingredients can be available in different forms. At Vitallin, we evaluate the choice of form in relation to the biological process the product aims to support.
ENTEROMAX / ZINC
Enteromax focuses on the gut ecosystem. The form of zinc used in the formula was therefore selected with its intended role in the gut environment and intestinal epithelium in mind.
We choose the ingredient form best suited to the purpose of the formula.
04 · RAW MATERIAL IDENTITY
WE EVALUATE RAW MATERIALS
BY THEIR TECHNICAL IDENTITY
A raw material's species or type, source, production method and technical properties define the character of the product. We select raw materials by evaluating these properties together.
ENTEROMAX
- Microorganism
- Species · strain · strain code
- Example
- Lactobacillus acidophilus · LA85
- CFU count
- 2 × 10⁹ CFU / day
OMEGA-3
- Source
- Fish oil
- Contents
- EPA · DHA
- Form
- Triglyceride form
- Verification
- Verified raw material specifications
For us, a raw material is much more than a name: it is the technical foundation of the formula.
05 · AMOUNT
THE AMOUNT
DEFINES THE FORMULA'S FUNCTION
We evaluate the amount of each ingredient in a formula in relation to the product's purpose. The values in our composition tables are therefore an important part of our approach to formula development.
Enteromax Capsules
12 strains · 10 billion CFU
370 mg inulin · 10 mg zinc
Omega-3
360 mg EPA · 240 mg DHA
Per softgel
Vitallin D3
400 IU · 800 IU
Child / adult daily serving
Multivitamin
13 vitamins · 8 minerals
With 5 supporting ingredients
We believe that the amount of every ingredient in a formula should have a clear purpose.
06 · HOLISTIC FORMULATION
INGREDIENTS
WORK AS A WHOLE
When developing a formula, we consider both the individual properties of its ingredients and the whole they create together.
We see formula design as a system of complementary ingredients.
- Probiotic strains
- CFU
- Prebiotic support
- Zinc
- Appropriate capsule technology
07 · FORM / TECHNOLOGY
WE CARE ABOUT THE RIGHT INGREDIENT
REACHING THE RIGHT PLACE
Alongside the formula's composition, we evaluate how its ingredients are delivered during use and how they reach the intended site.
Enteromax Capsules are supplied in plant-based DRcaps® capsules that dissolve in the intestine.
Formulation is a process that continues from ingredient selection to the moment of use.
PACKAGING IS PART OF
THE SYSTEM THAT PROTECTS THE PRODUCT
08 · PACKAGING
We choose packaging with the product's characteristics, protection needs and method of use in mind.
BLISTER EXAMPLE
The blister packaging we use for tablets and capsules protects each dose in its own compartment. This helps limit environmental exposure before use and keeps each dose individually enclosed.
We prefer a product presentation that preserves its properties.
Our production decisions consider product protection and the user experience together.
09 · CARRIER INGREDIENTS
CARRIER INGREDIENTS ARE ALSO
PART OF THE FORMULA
When evaluating a formula, we consider both the active ingredient and the system that carries it.
D3 EXAMPLE
Vitamin D3
+
pure olive oil
We believe every part of a formula should align with the product's intended use.
10 · THE ROLE OF SCIENCE
SCIENCE IS WITH US
FROM THE START OF FORMULA DEVELOPMENT
Scientific literature is one of our key tools for evaluating ingredients, forms, amounts, biological mechanisms and the formula's intended goal.
We translate scientific knowledge into product development decisions.
11 · EVIDENCE IN CONTEXT
WE ASSESS SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
IN THE RIGHT CONTEXT
When assessing a scientific study, we consider the ingredient's form, the strain identity of any microorganisms, the amount used, the population studied and the study methodology together.
ENTEROMAX
When assessing scientific data on probiotics, we consider the microorganism's strain identity as well as its species.
LION'S MANE
We assess different extracts and raw material forms in the specific context of their sources.
We believe scientific detail is an essential part of sound interpretation.
12 · PRODUCTION
THE RIGHT FORMULA,
COMPLETED THROUGH CONTROLLED PRODUCTION
Our products are manufactured in accordance with applicable legislation and production requirements, with the necessary recording, control and traceability processes in place.
When choosing manufacturers, we evaluate their production infrastructure, quality systems, raw material processes and discipline in complying with applicable legislation.
We believe every product batch should be made with the same approach to quality.
13 · TRACEABILITY
TRACEABILITY
SUPPORTS CONSISTENT QUALITY
The ability to trace a product's technical history, from raw material to production batch, is an important part of a quality system.
- Raw material
- Production
- Batch / lot
- Finished product
14 · ROLE IN THE FORMULA
EVERY INGREDIENT
HAS A ROLE IN THE FORMULA
When developing our formulas, we evaluate the place of each ingredient within the product's intended goal.
We believe that every ingredient's role in a formula should be clearly defined.
15 · USER EXPERIENCE
THE USER EXPERIENCE IS ALSO
PART OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
We see product protection, method of use, fit with daily life and the condition in which the product reaches the consumer as part of product development.
Quality is an experience that continues from production to the moment of use.
16 · SCIENCE + QUALITY
AT VITALLIN, QUALITY IS
THE SUM OF OUR DECISIONS
Every decision is part of the same approach: from selecting the right raw material to its form, amount and role in the formula, and from production to packaging and use.
Science means understanding why; quality means reflecting that knowledge correctly in the product.
