Our Functional Drink Manufacturing Process
At Grace Biotech, we don’t just manufacture functional drinks. We help you create them from the ground up. With our custom formulation services, expert guidance, and high-quality production standards, we turn your ideas into shelf-ready beverages designed to meet real consumer needs. Here’s how the process works, step by step:
Step 1: Custom Formula Development with Verified Functional Benefits
Our R&D team works closely with you to develop a unique formula tailored to your brand. We use functional ingredients with proven benefits and help support verifiable health claims that align with your product goals and market regulations.
Step 2: Trial Batch Production and Sample Testing
Once the formula is approved, we produce a small-scale trial run. This allows you to evaluate the taste, texture, color, and overall product performance. You’ll review and approve the sample before moving into full production.
Step 3: In-House Quality Testing and Third-Party Validation
Every product undergoes thorough quality checks in our in-house labs, including viscosity, pH level, microbiological safety, moisture content, and nutritional accuracy. For added assurance, we also coordinate third-party testing as needed.
Step 4: Full-Scale Manufacturing
With your sample approved, we begin large-scale production using modern, efficient equipment. Our team ensures consistent quality and scalability, no matter your order size.
Step 5: Packaging and Shipment with Full Traceability
Your finished drinks are packaged and prepared for delivery with complete batch traceability, so every unit can be tracked from production to shipping. This ensures transparency, compliance, and peace of mind.
Why Should You Develop Functional Beverages?
Functional beverages and liquid supplements both aim to support health, but they live under different rules.
A functional beverage is typically a conventional drink, like enhanced tea, fortified water, or sports drinks, that carries ingredients believed to offer benefits beyond basic nutrition. These often deliver immediate, noticeable effects like increased energy or refreshed focus.
In contrast, liquid dietary supplements are treated differently under US law. They fall under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), which means they’re more tightly regulated. You’ll need to follow specific rules for ingredients, safety, and labeling. For more information, you can check the FDA’s official guidelines.
Because of these differences in rules and how people use them, functional drinks have become a popular choice for brands wanting to offer health benefits more flexibly.
To sum up, functional beverages offer several clear advantages. They give people quick, noticeable results, like feeling more awake, which encourages them to keep buying. You can also use a wide variety of approved ingredients, and the drink format fits easily into daily habits. Plus, the rules for marketing are more flexible than those for supplements, giving you more freedom to promote your product in creative and engaging ways.
