Raw Ingredients for Dietary Supplement Formulators and Brand Owners

GCI Nutrients has supplied raw ingredients to the U.S. dietary supplement industry for more than 50 years — through every shift in the regulatory landscape from the pre-DSHEA era through cGMP, NDI, and beyond. Our customers are the formulators, brand owners, and contract manufacturers building the products that move the category forward.

Who We Serve

  • Formulators and R&D teams sourcing characterized, standardized actives.
  • Brand owners building label-ready products that need both the right marker and the right story behind it.
  • Contract manufacturers filling capsules, tablets, gummies, sachets, and powders for multiple end-clients.
  • Private-label brands moving fast on new SKUs and reformulations.

What Formulators in This Category Care About

  • Standardization with a defined active marker — not just “extract” or “powder.”
  • Documented quality — current COA, valid spec sheet, allergen and GMO declarations, third-party testing.
  • Regulatory posture — draft claims requiring regulatory review language, NDI awareness, EU and Health Canada alignment where relevant.
  • Lead time and consistency — same source, same spec, every lot.
  • Differentiation — a branded ingredient with its own story is worth more on a label than a generic equivalent.
