Brain Wiz

When it comes to making brain supplements (also called nootropics), companies have a lot of options. Many supplement companies don’t own their own factories, in fact, that’s a very common reality in the world of supplement marketing and sales, since the high-tech facilities needed to make quality supplements are astronomically expensive. And we’ve outlined the best below, including video tours inside their facilities.

Most of these companies go to a brain health supplement manufacturer for white labeled or “contract” manufacturing; some bring existing formulas they want produced, while other aspiring supplement sellers are starting from scratch.

Below is a regularly-updated list of American-based companies that (mostly) provide turnkey solutions for supplement development and production, listed in alphabetical order. We’ll add new ones and remove old ones as appropriate.

Have experience (good or bad!) working with any of these companies or other manufacturers? Drop us a line at team [at] brainwiz.org. We want to hear what you have to say!
