Capsule Quality Control Measures
For more than 45 years, Vitaquest’s commitment to quality manufacturing has remained unwavering. We consistently meet the industry’s highest quality and safety standards by implementing stringent quality control measures at every stage of the capsule manufacturing process. These quality standards guide our work and ensure we deliver the highest quality supplements to our customers, including:

- Content uniformity

Weighing, Blending & Granulation
Before the capsule filling process begins, the powdered contents must be weighed, blended, and, in some cases, granulated. Precise weighing of the component powders occurs in one of eight dedicated pharmacy suites using calibrated scales to ensure accurate measurements that align with industry standards. The powders are then blended in one of 16 commercial blenders, including high-capacity ribbon blenders, V-blenders, and fluid bed granulators, to achieve the uniformity of mix required for accurate capsule filling.

Vitaquest's Impressive Capsule Manufacturing Capacity
As a best-in-class capsule manufacturing company, our manufacturing capacity is nearly 3 billion doses per year. This high yield accommodates a wide range of order quantities and quick turnaround times.
The significance of this is the ability to turn on a dime when a valued customer has an unusual request or requires a much larger order than usual—especially in a situation where an order needs to be completed more quickly.
In addition, Vitaquest’s impressive capacity means that our stock of capsules is significant, so it is far less likely to have delays due to a short supply of capsules. This also means that our purchasing power with capsule suppliers is significant, allowing us to provide you—our customer—with the best possible pricing for encapsulated products.
Likewise, the fact that we specialize in acid-resistant, delayed-release capsules allows you to easily bring high quality probiotic supplements to your customers in a timely manner.
