JLB DEVELOPPEMENT, Your Partner in Food Supplement Development and Manufacturing

Looking to develop a range of food supplements and searching for a partner capable of turning your idea into a market-ready product? At JLB Développement, we transform your ambitions into tangible products, manufactured in France, fully compliant, and ready to succeed in your target market. Whether you are starting with a concept or an existing formula, we put our expertise in formulation, our mastery of manufacturing processes, and our in-depth knowledge of food supplement regulations at your service.

Choose the Support That Best Fits Your Project

There is no such thing as a standard custom food supplement development project. Your stage of development, internal resources, and commercial objectives will determine the level of support you need. To address these different needs, we have structured our services around two distinct approaches.

FULL SERVICE

You have a clear vision for your product, but need the right partner to bring it to life? We manage the entire development process on your behalf. From market research and ingredient sourcing to formulation, manufacturing, and packaging, every step is handled by our experienced team, ensuring a seamless journey from concept to market-ready product, delivered on time and to the highest standards.

CO-DEVELOPPEMENT + MANUFACTURING

Your formula is defined, your active ingredients are selected, and your positioning is clear. The next step is partnering with a manufacturer that can bring your product to market with confidence. We take over the development process where needed, fine-tune your formulation, secure regulatory compliance, and ensure reliable, high-quality production at scale, batch after batch.

From Idea to Finished Product: The Key Stages of Your Project

The success of a food supplement does not depend on formulation alone. Every stage of the development process has a direct impact on the final product’s quality and commercial potential.

 Market Analysis and Product Positioning

Before developing a formula, we assess your competitive landscape and analyse the needs and expectations of your target audience. The goal is to create a product that aligns with your brand, resonates with consumers, and stands out in its market.

Ingredient Selection and Formulation

Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, omega fatty acids, botanical extracts, collagen, creatine, and magnesium: selecting the right active ingredients at the right dosage is what makes the difference between a product that delivers on its promises and one that falls short. Our R&D teams develop effective, stable formulations tailored to your health objectives and target audience.

Regulatory Compliance

In both France and across Europe, food supplements are subject to a strict regulatory framework. We incorporate these requirements from the very beginning of the development process, helping to minimise delays, avoid costly surprises, and ensure compliance from the outset.

Technology Transfer and Production Scale-Up

What works in the laboratory must also perform consistently at industrial scale. That is the challenge of technology transfer. We adapt your formula to our manufacturing equipment, secure critical process parameters, and ensure reliable, reproducible production batch after batch.

Manufacturing, Packaging and Delivery

Your custom food supplements are manufactured in France in accordance with strict quality standards. Whether packaged in sachets, jars, doypacks, bottles, or other formats, the final packaging solution is selected based on your distribution channels, pricing strategy, and target consumers’ habits and expectations.

What JLB Développement Brings to Your Project

• French manufacturing that ensures traceability and responsiveness ;

Our Dosage Form Solutions for Your Custom Food Supplements

The dosage form is not just a technical detail. It is a strategic component of your product that influences the consumer experience, active ingredient stability, manufacturing requirements, and market positioning. We help you make the right choice from the very beginning.

Gels et Purées

Highly popular in sports nutrition and on-the-go formats, gels and purées combine convenience with high concentrations of active ingredients. Their unique texture requires advanced expertise in both formulation and manufacturing, an area in which we have built extensive experience over many years.

Liquid

Shots, drinkable solutions, and concentrates: liquid formats promote rapid absorption and can significantly improve consumer compliance throughout a supplementation programme. They also offer valuable opportunities for differentiation through taste and sensory experience, while requiring rigorous control of microbiological stability and shelf life.

Powder

A staple of custom food supplement development, powders offer unmatched formulation flexibility. They allow for high concentrations of active ingredients, are compatible with a wide range of packaging formats, and meet the needs of diverse consumer segments, from sports nutrition and beauty to health and wellness.
