Start With Your Formula, Extract Specification or Brand
Choose a manufacturing model based on whether you have a locked-in botanical Bill of Materials (BOM), a target functional concept, or a ready-to-brand private label requirement.
Manufacture Your Existing Formula
Submit your formulation sheet, Latin botanical names, plant parts, and target marker percentages. We audit bulk density, hygroscopicity, capsule/tablet fill limits, and packaging compatibility.
Develop a Botanical Supplement
Formulate a custom herbal or synergistic herb-vitamin complex around your target consumer positioning, daily serving count, bitterness-masking needs, and destination-market regulations.
Launch a Branded Herbal Line
Select from proven single-herb and multi-botanical formulas and customize bottle, pouch, or blister packaging with your brand artwork and compliant Supplement Facts panels.
Core Herbal Extract & Phytochemical Categories
We work with both single-herb extracts and multi-ingredient botanical complexes. Each project is engineered around verified plant parts, active marker assays, and destination-market compliance.
Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Ginseng & Maca
Formulate with standardized Ashwagandha root extract (Withania somnifera, 2.5%–5% Withanolides), Rhodiola rosea (Rosavins & Salidroside), Panax ginseng (Ginsenosides), and gelatinized or concentrated Maca root powders.
Turmeric, Green Tea, Resveratrol & Quercetin
Develop high-potency Turmeric root formulas (Curcuma longa, 95% Curcuminoids paired with Piperine or phospholipid carriers), Green Tea extract (EGCG / Catechins), Grape Seed OPCs, and Sophora-derived Quercetin.
Berberine HCl, Milk Thistle, Saw Palmetto & Elderberry
Produce targeted capsules, tablets, or gummies using Berberine HCl (97%), Milk Thistle seed extract (Silybum marianum, 80% Silymarin), Saw Palmetto fatty acids, Ginkgo biloba (24/6), and Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra).
Botanical + Vitamin, Mineral & Amino Complexes
Combine herbal extracts with chelated minerals (Magnesium Bisglycinate, Zinc), active B-vitamins, L-Theanine, or digestive enzymes while controlling moisture transfer and cross-reactivity.

Know the Plant Part, Extract Ratio & Active Marker
A common botanical name is never a complete manufacturing specification. Our R&D and QC teams verify taxonomic identity, plant part, marker assay method, and physical powder behavior before locking in your formula.
Species & Plant Part
Specify Latin binomials and exact plant parts (e.g., Ashwagandha root-only vs. root-and-leaf) verified via macroscopic/microscopic review and HPTLC / TLC fingerprinting.
Ratio vs. Standardized Marker
Distinguish between straight concentration ratios (e.g., 10:1) and quantitative phytochemical markers (e.g., 95% Curcuminoids by HPLC or 80% Silymarin by UV-Vis).
Pesticides, Heavy Metals & Solvents
Screen botanical lots against target-market thresholds for Pb, As, Cd, Hg, USP <561> / EU pesticide panels, mycotoxins (aflatoxins/ochratoxin), and Class 1–3 residual solvents.
Hygroscopicity & Flow Control
Manage sticky, moisture-sensitive botanical extracts using controlled-humidity blending, anti-caking carriers (silica, rice hull concentrate, or MCC), and high-barrier packaging.
Formulation benchmark: A 10:1 extract ratio indicates that 10 kg of dried raw herb was processed to yield 1 kg of extract—it does not mean the powder contains 10% active marker. If your label claims a specific milligram amount of an active constituent, we specify and verify the exact marker percentage by HPLC or UV assay.

Herbal Supplement Manufacturing Questions
Direct answers for botanical supplement brand owners, formulators, and sourcing teams.
Can Gensei manufacture herbal supplements using our custom formula?
Yes. Share your Bill of Materials (BOM) or Supplement Facts panel including Latin botanical names, plant parts, extract ratios or standardized marker percentages, and target dosage form. Our R&D team audits bulk density, excipient compatibility, and daily serving size before preparing pilot samples.
What is the difference between an extract ratio (e.g., 10:1) and a standardized active marker?
An extract ratio (such as 10:1) describes the weight of raw dried botanical material used to produce one unit of extract, whereas a standardized active marker specifies the exact percentage of a bioactive compound (such as 95% Curcuminoids by HPLC or 5% Withanolides) verified by quantitative laboratory assay. A 10:1 ratio does not equal 10% active marker.
Which dosage forms work best for herbal extracts?
Two-piece hard capsules (vegan HPMC or gelatin) and film-coated compressed tablets are the most versatile formats for high-load or bitter botanical extracts. We also manufacture flavored herbal powder blends, pectin/gelatin gummies (for compatible doses like Elderberry or Ashwagandha), chewable/effervescent tablets, and oil-suspension softgels.
What are your starting MOQs for herbal capsules, tablets, powders, and gummies?
Our standard starting MOQ is 100,000 units per SKU for herbal hard capsules, compressed tablets, and softgels, and 100 kg per formula for botanical powder blends. Herbal gummy minimums depend on piece weight and mold setup, typically starting around 150,000+ gummies per SKU.
How do you control botanical identity, pesticides, and heavy metals?
We verify incoming botanical lots for species/plant-part identity (including HPTLC/TLC profiles where specified), quantitative marker potency (HPLC/UV-Vis), heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg), microbiological limits, and target-market pesticide or residual solvent compliance.
How long do herbal supplement samples and bulk production take?
Pilot sample preparation typically takes 7–15 working days for hard capsules and 2–3 weeks for tablets, powders, and gummies (assuming stocked extracts). Commercial bulk production generally takes 6–8 weeks for solid dose/gummy/softgel runs and 4–6 weeks for powder blends after material readiness and approvals.
Can you package herbal supplements in private label bottles, pouches, or blisters?
Yes. Because many herbal extracts are highly hygroscopic (moisture-absorbing), we pair your product with amber PET/glass bottles, HDPE canisters with heat-induction seals and silica gel desiccants, high-barrier stand-up pouches, or PVDC/Alu-Alu blister packs.
