<div class="bbWrapper">I need to find a manufacturer that can make medical supplements. They need to be able to fill the capsules and bottle them (And possibly label the bottles as well?). If you know of any manufacturers (preferably trustworthy ones) that can do this, or you know where I could find some, that would be super helpful! <br /> <br /> I look forward to any input you may have, thanks. <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-wink.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></div>

Fall short of this and you can end up doing someone real harm.<br /> <br /> Unless you already have experience doing this, you should just go through a professional company.</div>

I bought one a couple days ago, and once it comes in, i will try and let you know how it works out. I just bought it to make my own supps instead of buying them already bottled. I would still look for a manufacturer but if you&#039;re still in the start up stage and you are short on cash it might be a little different to pay for an moq of 500k capsules. Plus you can test the waters before jumping right in if you like. So find out what works best for you. best of luck</div>
