Vitamin D3 and D3 + K2: Private Label Supplements
Vitamin D is searched in all 121 countries we studied, and D3 with K2 is one of the fastest-growing combinations. We help brands get D3 and D3 + K2 made in India in the format and strength their market allows.
Strength is the first decision
The same vitamin D3 product can be a food supplement in one country and a medicine in another, depending on the strength. Many countries set a maximum level for supplements, and higher doses are sold only as medicines. So the first question is not the format but the strength your market allows.
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is usually made from lanolin, from sheep's wool. Vegan D3 from lichen is available for plant-based ranges. Vitamin K2 is usually added as menaquinone-7 (MK-7).
Vitamin D is very potent, so a small weighing error matters. Good plants control mixing carefully and test the content of every batch.

What to check before you order
Strength allowed in your market
Check the maximum level for supplements where you sell. Above it, the product may count as a medicine.
Content per batch
Vitamin D3 and K2 content on the Certificate of Analysis, tested for each batch, with an overage that keeps you on label to the end of shelf life.
Source
Lanolin D3, or lichen D3 for vegan products. For K2, the form (MK-7) and whether it is the all-trans form.
Format and shell
Softgels need a gelatin shell (bovine or fish) or a plant-based shell for vegans.
Light and oxygen
Vitamin D and K2 degrade with light and air. Opaque packs and good closures help.
Your market
Label units (IU or micrograms), permitted claims and registration rules differ by country.
Formats we can arrange
| Format | Good for | Things to decide |
|---|---|---|
| Softgels | D3 in oil, D3 + K2 | Shell type, size, count per bottle |
| Tablets | Low-cost daily products, combinations with calcium | Tablet size, coating |
| Gummies | Adults and children | Pectin or gelatin, sugar content, overage |
| Oral drops | Babies and children | Drops per dose, dropper type |
Products for babies and children have stricter rules in many markets. Tell us if the product is for children.
How it works with PharmaTradz
You send the product, format, strength per serving, market, pack and the quantity you have in mind.
Two or three Indian plants that already make that format, with their licences, certifications and export history. Names under a confidential disclosure agreement once the requirement is firm.
We agree the strength, source and format, and you receive samples with their test results.
Your brand and artwork, checked against the rules of the market you sell in: label format, permitted ingredients and levels, and the claims you are allowed to make.
Batch made with a Certificate of Analysis, and third-party test reports where your market or your retailer asks for them.
Same plant, same formula and same specifications, scheduled to your sales.
Problems we see most often
Strength above the local limit
A high-strength D3 that sells as a supplement in one country may need a medicine licence in another.
Too little vitamin at the end of shelf life
Without enough overage and good packaging, D3 and K2 can fall below the label amount.
Units on the label
Some markets require micrograms, others accept IU. Get it right before printing.
