Contract Manufacturing

Define Commercial Relationship

The respective roles and responsibilities of Quest and the partner are defined in writing. Key commercial issues are agreed in advance, including minimum order quantities, pricing, lead-times, product specifications, manufacturing standards, regulatory requirements and after-sales support and service.

Contract Manufacturing

Product Selection

The partner selects from the existing Quest product portfolio of 100+ liquid, tablet, sachet and capsule products, including popular established food supplements, specialist innovative nutraceuticals and also traditional herbal remedies.

Product Development

If the partner’s requirements are not met by the existing Quest product portfolio, we develop new bespoke products based on 40+ years of formulation and manufacturing expertise, the latest research on natural molecules and supported by a global network of trusted high-quality raw material suppliers.

Quest customer service extends to after the delivery of the goods by providing support for training, product information, product positioning, marketing, retailing and medical detailing.

Product Positioning

All of our products are developed and supported by a clear scientific platform to deliver the impact and health solution for which they are designed. Our products can either be u sed in combination with, as an alternative to, as a follow-on from, or as a precursor to, pharmaceutical products. These four product position strategies apply dfferently and individually product-to-product and can be used to clearly communicate the use and benefits to consumers, retailers and health professionals.

Contract Manufacturing

Combination

Selected products may be used in conjunction with conventional treatments for an enhanced solution.

EXAMPLE:
CARNOZIN can be combined with Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) as a gastro-protectant to protect against damage to the stomach lining and ulcers.

Contract Manufacturing

Alternative

Selected products may be used as a natural and safe alternative to conventional treatments.

EXAMPLE:
FLAVANON-4 can be used as an alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in menopausal women to address the symptoms of the menopause safely and naturally.

Contract Manufacturing

Follow-on

Selected products may be used as a long-term solution following the completion of a conventional treatment regime.

EXAMPLE:
CRANBIOTIX can be used following a course of antibiotics to stop the reoccurrence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and prevent the need for repeated antibiotic use.

Contract Manufacturing

Protection

Selected products may help to prevent health problems that may require conventional treatment.

EXAMPLE:
Long term CALCIUM supplementation can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk and severity of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.
