What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

It depends on dosage form. Powder sticks and meal items start at 1,000 units; tablets and capsules are typically 3,000–5,000.

How is MOQ determined?

MOQ is driven by the minimum batch of each production line, ingredient minimum order (raw MOQ), and the print run on packaging. Capsules/softgels/RTD lines need higher setup, so 5,000+ is recommended.

Can you break down lead time by dosage form?

Standard: samples 2–3 wks · pre-screening 2–4 wks · raw/packaging procurement 3–5 wks · manufacturing/filling 2–4 wks. Capsules/softgels add 1–2 wks for stability testing.
