GABA Capsule Production Capacity
Our encapsulation lines run at up to 120,000 capsules per hour, depending on capsule size and fill weight. For GABA, common fill weights are 250 mg, 500 mg and 750 mg. We can also combine GABA with other ingredients such as L-theanine, melatonin or valerian root in the same capsule. Standard capsule sizes are 0, 1 and 2. We produce both immediate-release and delayed-release capsules. Delayed-release options use enteric coating to target intestinal absorption. Tooling is available for custom capsule shapes and sizes.
Pilot runs start at 1,000 units per SKU for market testing. Full retail bottling MOQ is 1,000 units per SKU. Bottle sizes range from 30 to 180 capsules. We offer child-resistant and standard closures. Labeling and packaging can be customised to your market requirements. Turnaround for mass production is 20–35 working days after sample approval, depending on order volume and packaging complexity. We handle blending, encapsulation, coating, bottling, labelling and cartoning under one roof.
Formulation and Ingredient Sourcing
GABA is available in several grades. We source from suppliers that provide a certificate of analysis (COA) for each lot. Purity is typically 98% or higher. We can also source organic GABA if your product requires it. For vegan capsules, we use HPMC (hypromellose) shells. Gelatin shells are available for standard formulations. Excipients such as magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and microcrystalline cellulose are used to improve flow and fill consistency. We can produce excipient-free formulations if needed, though fill weight may be limited.
We can blend GABA with other active ingredients in the same capsule. Common combinations include L-theanine, 5-HTP, melatonin, magnesium and chamomile extract. We also offer flavour masking for unpleasant tastes. For delayed-release, we apply an enteric coating that resists stomach acid and dissolves in the small intestine. All formulation work is done in-house. Our R&D team can assist with stability studies and shelf-life testing. We recommend a minimum shelf life of 24 months for GABA capsules when stored properly.
Quality Control and Compliance
Every batch of GABA capsules undergoes testing for identity, potency, purity and microbial safety. We test for heavy metals, pesticides and residual solvents. Our facility is GMP, ISO 22000 and HACCP certified. We are also FDA-registered. For halal and organic claims, we work with certified suppliers and maintain traceability documentation. Each shipment includes a certificate of analysis and a certificate of origin. We can provide allergen statements and non-GMO declarations. Documentation for customs clearance is prepared for US, EU, UK and Middle East markets.
We retain samples from each batch for 12 months. Production records are kept for 5 years. Our quality team can assist with regulatory filings if needed. We do not claim FDA approval. We are an FDA-registered facility. For organic products, we hold certification for relevant ingredients. Vegan and vegetarian options are available. We also offer third-party testing through accredited labs if you require independent verification. Lead times for QC release are included in the 20–35 working day production window.
Packaging, Labelling and Retail Readiness
GABA capsules can be packed in HDPE bottles (60, 90, 120 or 180 count), glass bottles for premium lines, blister packs, stick packs or single-serve sachets. Bottles are induction-sealed and fitted with child-resistant or standard caps as required. We hold tooling for common bottle sizes and can source custom moulds on request. Cartons are specified with board grade, print process and pallet configuration agreed before production, typically 24 to 48 bottles per carton and 20 to 40 cartons per pallet depending on size.
Labels are checked against FDA dietary-supplement labelling requirements: statement of identity, net quantity, supplement facts panel, other ingredients, directions for use, and the manufacturer or distributor address. We do not draft your claims, but we review artwork for missing mandatory elements and flag anything that appears to be a disease claim. Lot number and expiry date are inkjet-coded on the bottle and carton; we can also apply your Amazon FNSKU barcode and retail compliance marks where the artwork is supplied print-ready.
For Amazon and retail channels, we support FNSKU labelling, poly-bagging, and carton marking to your marketplace requirements. We do not guarantee marketplace approval. Artwork proofs are signed off before printing, and a pre-production sample is retained. Packaging components are inspected for print defects, seal integrity and label placement at line start, mid-run and end of run, with records kept in the batch file.
GABA Capsule MOQ, Lead Times and Delivery Terms
Sample orders typically ship in 7 to 10 working days from artwork and formulation approval. Mass production runs 20 to 35 working days after sample approval, depending on capsule type, fill weight and packaging format. MOQ is 1,000 units per SKU, with lower quantities accepted for pilot runs. Repeat orders with unchanged specifications usually fall at the shorter end of the production window.
Air freight is used for samples and urgent orders, typically 5 to 10 days door to door. Sea freight is used for full-pallet orders, typically 25 to 40 days depending on destination port. We quote EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and DDP for select markets. DDP pricing includes freight, duties and customs clearance where we have an established broker; otherwise we quote FOB and your forwarder handles the rest.
Documents provided with each shipment include the commercial invoice, packing list, COA for each batch, MSDS, and a free-sale certificate where the destination market requires one. Phytosanitary certificates are not applicable to synthetic GABA but can be arranged for botanical blends where required. Certificates of origin can be issued on request. All documents are issued in English unless another language is agreed at order confirmation.
