• At Food Research Lab, food products we formulate supplements focusing on particular nutritional purposes, functional food, nutricosmetics and supplements, including supplements supporting various goals including building mass or slimming down, nourishing muscle after a gym session, training harder for longer, products for before training, products to repair after training and many more. Our prototype meets your nutritional and sensory within the sphere of physical and scientific possibility by using a unique combination of flavours and sweeteners.
• We build our prototype with the use of real, clean, fresh and authentic ingredients (such as free from an allergen, no pesticide/chemicals/toxins, undeclared ergogenic substances, non-GMO, organic, vegetarian, gluten-free, and minimally processed) without compromising on sensory appeal.
• No complex labelling disgusting ingredients in the formulation. Our products are free from compound classes such as stimulants, diuretics, narcotics, beta-blockers (substance: bisoprolol), an atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and others. We offer clean labelling with maximum transparency around any health claims by replacing fewer desirable ingredients with label-friendly ingredients.
• A prototype that meets the regulatory requirement that governs food processing, including those established by the FDA and the EU
• An evidence-based prototype that specifically meets the targeted consumer base's nutritional requirements

FRL formulation experts formulate a wide variety of supplements and sports foods/drinks targeting weight gain, managing weight, building muscle and core weight, and improving health. Our product ranges include protein crisp bar, isotonic drinks as replenishment of water; high carb, citric acids (Vitamins C and E, Carotenoids, Flavonoids, Carnosine, Anserine) for improvement of endurance and prevention of muscle/joint injuries or fatigue; protein, BCAA, Creatine, β-HMB to enhance muscle strength, vitamin C and E glutamine for prevention of a decrease in immunocompetence. We develop products using K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, phosphorus, Cu2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, microelements, and macroelements, a live culture of lactic acid bacteria: Lactococcus lactis, L. thermophiles, and L. bulgaricus (1.2 × 108 CFU/cm3), glucose, galactose, lactic acid, acid, C, E, B1, B2, B6, PP, β-carotene, folic acid, hydrolyzed whey protein, oligopeptides, and free amino acids

We can formulate the products in the form of ready-to-drink, ready-to-serve, ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, ready-to-drink, ready-to-mix protein powders, meal replacement drinks, meal kits, low carbohydrate ingredients, sports bars and formulations along with powder form, puffed form, gummies, soft or hard gels, capsules, tablets, syrups, gummies, or sachets containing a concentrated source of minerals, vitamins, or botanical extracts. Our product formulation experts ensure to portray the foods as more enjoyable and riper through hedonic and palatability appeals.

FRL's scientists and formulation experts develop a highly functional strength product that provides the intended results. We adhere to the international guidelines and formulate our product at the same time meet the dairy-free claim as well. Our formulation experts ensure that the end product would meet the required pH, dispersibility, efficacious dosage, shelf life, glycemic index, desired satiety, mouthfeel, flavour, odour and taste. Through years of expertise and knowledge, we bring in the right solutions that fit your requirements.

Any ingredient incorporated into the formulation needs to achieve its intended function in the human body at the same time and must adhere to safety, product purity (i.e., clean label), and developmental appropriateness. At FRL, we substantiate this from many different types of investigation, including secondary research for existing ingredients or, if its novel, publishing the work in reputable, peer-reviewed journals. Data for this will be derived from chemical comparisons and analysis, activities (e.g., ORAC or oxygen radical absorbance activities), testing in animal models, genomic/gene expression studies, in vitro bioassays and, most compelling of all, human clinical testing. Through years of expertise and knowledge, we bring in the right solutions that fit your requirements.

The viability of microorganisms varies depending on many conditions, such as the characteristics of the microorganism, the acidity degree of the product, the storage temperature, and the characteristics of the packaging materials used. We follow quality measures to ensure the products are safe from both the supplier and the buyer's perspectives. We carry out Marker Chemistry (e.g., HPLC, GC etc.), Microbiology tests (e.g., Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Escherichia Coli), heavy metal analysis (e.g., lead, arsenic, cadmium kept below the regulatory limits), Contamination (e.g., metal flakes from machinery), physical characteristics (e.g., powders for tablets must have low moisture content) and stability (e.g., the time for a product from initial production). We use compendium methods (USP and European Pharmacopeia) for an extensive validation process.

We follow a specific set of regulations that a product must adhere to. This includes manufacturing flow chart, solvents, quantitative ingredient lists, physical characteristics, GMO status, certifications, radiations, pesticide/chemical/ residue, contaminants, microbiology, allergens, animal derivation, and safety (Standard Material Safety Data Sheet – toxicity or clinical testing). We assist ensure to clear the ingredient supplier completes clearance through the target country’s regulatory agency prior to its inclusion in formulas. Through our years of experience, our team can speed up the acceptance and inclusion of new material. Our product development team complies with the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FDA 2009), DSHEA and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (Federal Trade Commission 2011), safety and quality food and food supplements guidelines delineated by WHO and the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). Our team ensures to use only acceptable ingredients that are found in the International Nomenclature. We also adhere to the local country’s guidelines as per the client’s request, such as for the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW), The Chinese Health Care Association (CHCA), China’s State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) and FSSAI.
