Zinc is a trace mineral found in a large number of supplement and multivitamin products. Many companies include it in immunity, recovery and general wellness formulas, either alone or with vitamins and other minerals.
It sells through general physicians, paediatric clinics and gynaecology practices, and also over the counter at chemists. Because it fits into so many combinations, it gives a nutraceutical distributor plenty of products to work with.
Dosage forms and partner ingredients
Companies on the portal list zinc in tablets, syrups and suspensions, soft gelatin capsules, hard capsules, and sachets or powders. Common partners in these formulas are:
- Folic acid
- Cholecalciferol
- Magnesium
- Vitamin C
Check the label of each product carefully, since some are registered as food supplements and others as drug formulations.
Comparing nutraceutical franchise offers
Ask each company how many zinc based products it actually has in stock and how often they run out. A range with paediatric syrup, adult tablets and a softgel gives doctors more choice. Put PTR side by side and work out your margin. Get the monopoly territory written into the appointment letter. Look at carton and label quality, because supplements are often sold on shelf appeal. Settle the expiry return rules early, and ask what promotional inputs come with each order, such as visual aids, reminder cards and samples.
Contract manufacturing for your zinc brand
Brand owners planning their own zinc product should tell the manufacturer the exact composition, the form, the pack size and the flavour if it is a syrup or sachet. Confirm the minimum order quantity and the type of packing material, such as alu alu blister, bottle or laminated pouch. Ask for stability study results and batch test reports. Make sure the plant holds the right licence for the category, FSSAI for food supplements or a drug manufacturing licence for medicines, and keep your own registrations in place.
