FRL's scientists and formulation experts identify new delivery mechanisms (such as liposomes) and research-active compounds to develop a highly functional nutraceutical product that provides the intended results. Through years of expertise and knowledge, we bring in the right solutions that fit your requirements.

At Food Research Lab, we give significance to the following aspects of developing a successful functional food product or a Nutracosmeceutical product. Any ingredient incorporated into the formulation needs to achieve its intended function in the human body at the same time must adhere to safety guidelines. At FRL, we substantiate this from many different types of scientific investigation, including secondary research for existing ingredients or, if it's novel, publishing the work in reputable, peer-reviewed journals. Data for this will also be derived from the purity and sustainability of the components (e.g., metal test), 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.

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 ensure to assist in vetting and clearing 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) and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (Federal Trade Commission 2011). Our team ensures to use only acceptable ingredients that are found in the INCI, International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, allocated by the American Cosmetic Association
