Formats Who it's for / Liquids
Private label syrups and vitamin oils
PharmaEurope produces liquid food supplements under your brand at the plant in Mārupe, Latvia, in the European Union. They are quoted in litres rather than in bottles, because a litre becomes a different number of bottles depending on the pack you choose.
Syrups start at 100 litres. Oils with vitamins start at 20 litres. Production takes 4 to 8 weeks from approved formula and artwork.

Two liquid formats, both quoted by the litre
| Format | Standard run | Counted in | Production time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Syrups | from 100 L | litres of finished product | 4–8 weeks |
| Oils with vitamins | from 20 L | litres of finished product | 4–8 weeks |
The minimum applies per product. Two flavours of the same syrup are two products, and each one carries its own minimum, because each flavour is filled as a separate batch.
The 20-litre figure is worth pausing on. Across roughly fifty European contract manufacturers we checked, it is the lowest litre minimum any of them publishes — most either quote in tens of thousands of bottles or refuse to name a number until the enquiry arrives.
Why liquids are quoted in litres and not in bottles
A capsule order is simple to count: five hundred bottles of sixty capsules is five hundred bottles. A liquid order is not, because the same batch becomes a different number of units depending on what you put it in.
| Batch | Fill volume | Finished bottles |
|---|---|---|
| 100 L syrup | 100 ml | 1,000 bottles |
| 100 L syrup | 150 ml | 667 bottles |
| 100 L syrup | 200 ml | 500 bottles |
| 20 L oil | 25 ml | 800 bottles |
| 20 L oil | 50 ml | 400 bottles |
When you compare two manufacturers, check which unit each of them is quoting. A minimum stated in bottles without a bottle size, or in litres without a fill volume, cannot be compared with anything. Tell us the fill you have in mind and we will convert our figure into your units before you ask.
Four things, and a quote is a day's work
The format
Syrup or oil. They are different lines, different minimums and different packs.
Actives and dose
What is in it, how much per serving, and how many servings you want in a bottle.
Fill volume
The bottle size you have in mind — or the shelf price you are aiming at, and we will suggest one.
The market
Where the product is going. That decides what the label has to carry.
What comes with the product
- Documents. Certificate of Analysis, product specification, raw material documentation, allergen statement and shelf-life statement — issued on request, in the form your buyer or your authority needs.
- A label that passes. Checked against Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 and Regulation (EC) 1924/2006 before the print run. Liquids carry a particular trap: the dosing instruction and the daily maximum have to match the dosing device in the pack, and a mismatch between them is one of the commonest reasons a label gets rejected.
- Shelf life stated honestly. 18 months as a minimum, set by the shortest-lived ingredient rather than the longest. In a liquid that is usually the most oxidation-sensitive component, which is why an omega oil and a vitamin C syrup do not carry the same date.
- Halal when your market needs it. Certified per product, not per factory.

A dash is a value we have not confirmed with production yet. We would rather leave it blank than publish a number we cannot stand behind — the same rule we apply to every other page here.

About liquid supplements
What is your minimum order for liquids?
Syrups from 100 litres and oils with vitamins from 20 litres of finished product, with production in 4 to 8 weeks from approval of the formula and the artwork. How many bottles that is depends on your fill volume: 100 litres is 1,000 bottles at 100 ml, or 500 at 200 ml.
Why is the minimum in litres rather than bottles?
Because the batch is made before the pack is chosen, and the same batch becomes a different number of units at different fill volumes. Quoting in litres is the honest unit for a liquid; quoting in bottles without naming the bottle size tells you nothing.
Is the minimum per product or for the whole order?
Per product. Two flavours of the same syrup are two products, and each one carries its own minimum, because each flavour is blended and filled as a separate batch.
Where are liquid supplements made?
At the plant in Mārupe, Latvia, inside the European Union, operated by SIA Pharma Market Solutions under the same ownership as PharmaEurope.
What shelf life do you give a liquid?
18 months as a minimum, set from the shortest-lived ingredient in the formula. In liquids that is usually the component most sensitive to oxidation.
Do I have to register the product before selling it in the EU?
Food supplements in the EU are notified, not approved. Directive 2002/46/EC puts it plainly in Article 10: Member States “may require the manufacturer or the person placing the product on the market in their territory to notify the competent authority of that placing on the market by forwarding it a model of the label used for the product.” We supply the composition and the documentation; the filing is made by the brand owner — AESAN in Spain.
Can a liquid carry a health claim?
Only an authorised one. Directive 2002/46/EC, Article 6(2), is explicit: “The labelling, presentation and advertising must not attribute to food supplements the property of preventing, treating or curing a human disease, or refer to such properties.” We check your artwork against that before it is printed, because a reprint costs more than a check.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, of products already in production. A sample of a formula that does not exist yet has to be developed first, and that is a project rather than a parcel.
