Launching a supplement without proper testing can lead to costly setbacks. Many brand owners start with supplement pilot production runs, small batches that verify formula stability, product safety, and FDA compliance before scaling. These test runs help ensure quality control, identify formulation or packaging issues, and meet current good manufacturing practices (CGMPs). Once pilot data proves consistency, brands can confidently move to full-scale production with the help of trusted contract manufacturers who protect quality, reduce risk, and support long-term growth in the dietary supplement industry.
