LEVEN is an application solutions partner for supplement brands. From formulation development and regulatory review to ingredient sourcing and manufacturing support, we take your concept all the way to commercial supply — across powders, gummies, RTDs, tablets, capsules, softgels and bars.
Our Promise
Your formulation never changes hands.
Who We Are
Brands rarely fail because they picked the wrong ingredient. They fail because a good concept never became a product: stability issues, off-notes, the wrong dosage form, regulatory dead ends, scale-up surprises. These are application problems — and solving them is our entire business.
LEVEN combines formulation science, dosage-form engineering and regulatory know-how to take your concept from a target claim to a production-ready product, with the documentation to back it up.
Discuss your product concept with usEvery project starts from the finished product — the claim, the format, the sensory experience, the shelf life. Ingredient selection follows the application, never the other way around.
Target-market compliance is built into development from day one, so the solution we hand you is one you can actually launch — not a formula that dies in legal review.
From first brief to commercial supply, you work with one team that owns the outcome. Your formulation never changes hands between ingredient sellers, labs and factories.
Dosage Forms
Each format has its own physics, failure modes and regulatory quirks. We develop for all seven under one system — so your line extensions stay consistent from a gummy to a stick pack.
Typical Challenge
Hygroscopic blends cake in the tub, and poor instantizing leaves clumps at the bottom of the glass.
Our Capabilities
Deliverables
Typical Challenge
Heat-sensitive actives degrade during depositing, while texture, water activity and pH all have to stay in balance.
Our Capabilities
Deliverables
Typical Challenge
Liquid systems separate, sediment and lose potency — and off-notes need masking without piling on sugar.
Our Capabilities
Deliverables
Typical Challenge
Compressibility fights disintegration, and high-dose actives push tablets toward too-big-to-swallow.
Our Capabilities
Deliverables
Typical Challenge
Fill flow, moisture sensitivity and dose uniformity decide whether your capsule runs at line speed or jams the machine.
Our Capabilities
Deliverables
Typical Challenge
A softgel stands or falls on fill–shell compatibility: leakage, cross-linking and brittleness often only show up months into shelf life.
Our Capabilities
Deliverables
Typical Challenge
Bars harden over shelf life and flavors fade; protein load, water activity and texture are always pulling against each other.
Our Capabilities
Deliverables
Effervescents, stick packs, shots, melts — we develop custom and hybrid formats when the concept calls for it.
What We Do
Four service pillars cover the entire path from idea to shelf. Engage the full program, or take any pillar as a standalone service.
Formulas engineered backwards from your target product — claim, format, sensory profile, cost structure and shelf life.
Compliance mapped before formulation starts, in every market you plan to sell — so nothing has to be rebuilt after legal review.
The right ingredient, from the right supplier, in the form your application actually needs.
From bench scale to commercial runs, with qualified production partners and eyes on the line.
Cooperation Models
Full turnkey program, joint development, or a single service module — the engagement scales to what you actually need.
We run the entire program — concept, formulation, stability, regulatory, scale-up and commercial supply. You focus on your brand and market; we own the technical outcome.
Best for: new brands & new categories
You bring a formula or a half-finished concept; we fill the gaps — stability work, regulatory review, scale-up — alongside your in-house team.
Best for: brands with partial R&D capability
Buy one pillar at a time: a formulation project, a regulatory review, an ingredient-improvement task, or manufacturing support only.
Best for: targeted, well-defined needs
Confidentiality agreements before any technical exchange — on request, every time.
Formulas we develop for you belong to you. Full documentation handed over at project close.
Stage-based quotes with defined deliverables. You approve each stage before the next begins.
How We Work
Transparent stages, defined deliverables. At every step you know exactly what you get — and you approve before we move on.
What you get
A clear go / no-go view: technical feasibility, regulatory exposure and a rough cost frame — before you spend real money.
→What you get
First physical prototypes with a defined target profile: taste, texture, appearance, dose and format.
→What you get
A locked formula with accelerated and real-time stability data your QA team can defend.
→What you get
A documented compliance position for each target market: claims, labels, ingredient status.
→What you get
A production-ready process package: parameters, specifications and test methods, proven at pilot scale.
→What you get
Qualified manufacturing, agreed QC and a supply setup designed for continuity — ready for launch.
Quality & Compliance
Retailers, regulators and your own legal team will ask hard questions. Our documentation answers them before they are asked.
Manufacturing runs through cGMP, ISO 22000 and HACCP certified facilities, with full batch traceability.
Complete physical-chemical and microbiological method development and validation for every project.
Specifications, certificates of analysis, stability reports and regulatory support files — audit-ready.
Compliance support across the US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia.
About LEVEN
Leven is Dutch for "life". It is also our working principle: nutrition science only matters when it reaches daily life — as a product people actually enjoy, trust and repurchase. We engineer nutrition for living.
We believe good supplements are developed, not assembled. A formula on a spreadsheet is not a product — it becomes one only after stability holds, taste works, the line runs at speed and the label passes review. That whole journey is what we do.
Our team spans four disciplines, so a project never stalls at the boundary between science, regulation and manufacturing:
One team, four disciplines.
Your project never stalls at a hand-off.
FAQ
We are an application solutions partner. Development, formulation, stability and regulatory work sit with us; production runs through qualified, certified manufacturing partners that we select, manage and audit for your project. You get one accountable point of contact for the whole chain.
You do. All project IP — formulas, process parameters, specifications and documentation — is transferred to you at project close. This is written into our cooperation agreement.
It depends on the dosage form and the project stage. Development projects have no MOQ at all; commercial volumes are defined together during scale-up planning, based on what your market entry actually requires.
It varies with format complexity and target markets. What we commit to is a stage-based plan with defined deliverables and dates for each of the six development steps — you always know where the project stands.
Yes. That is our Co-Development and Single Service models — we can take over at any stage: fixing stability issues, running the regulatory review, or managing pilot and commercial production only.
We support compliance for the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia/New Zealand, Japan, Korea and major Southeast Asian markets. Multi-market projects are planned so one development program serves all your target countries.

Confidentiality first. Every inquiry can be covered by an NDA before any technical exchange. Where exclusivity is agreed, we work with one brand per application territory.
