Vitaquest International
Vitaquest International has manufactured dietary supplements for over 40 years from four New Jersey locations listed in the NSF public directory (Parsippany, Paterson, and two in West Caldwell). The company reports being the first nutraceutical manufacturer in the United States to earn FSSC 22000 certification (self-reported). Vitaquest appears in USP's Verification Program Participants list under the GMP Audit Only Program, not under the Dietary Supplement Verification Program; a GMP Audit Only listing is not the USP Verified product mark. Vitaquest serves over 500 brands globally and produces more than 4,000 products. Their capabilities include specialty dosage forms like effervescent tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, and microencapsulated ingredients. A dedicated particle engineering facility handles complex formulations that most manufacturers cannot produce. The company employs 500 to 700 people and produces roughly 3 billion capsule doses and 2 billion tablet doses per year. Neither an MOQ floor nor a standard lead time is published today: the capsule-manufacturing page states turnaround depends on capsule type, materials, size and colour, and directs prospects to contact the company.
