Hi
Can anyone tell me if there is any guidance on manufacture of VMS (vitamins, minerals and supplements) and quality standards requirements for the same.

Yes, there are several guidance documents and quality standards that apply to the manufacture of vitamins, minerals, and supplements (VMS). Some of these include:

  1. Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) for Dietary Supplements: This guidance document from the US FDA outlines the requirements for the manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and holding of dietary supplements, including VMS products.
  2. US Pharmacopeia (USP) standards: The USP has established quality standards for VMS products, including monographs that specify the identity, strength, quality, and purity of individual ingredients.
  3. European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) standards: The Ph. Eur. also has established quality standards for VMS products, including monographs that specify the identity, strength, quality, and purity of individual ingredients.
  4. ISO 9001: This international standard outlines the requirements for a quality management system and can be applied to the manufacturing of VMS products to ensure consistency and quality.
  5. NSF International: This organization provides certification and testing services for dietary supplements, including VMS products, to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and quality standards.

When it comes to finding a company to manufacture VMS products, it is important to look for a reputable and experienced contract manufacturer that is familiar with the regulatory requirements and quality standards for these products. It is also important to ensure that the manufacturer uses high-quality ingredients and has rigorous quality control measures in place to ensure the safety and efficacy of the products.
