The food supplement sector does not only compete on formulation; packaging also plays a key role. With the entry into force of EU Regulation 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste, the rules of the game are changing for all companies that manufacture, market or simply use packaging to transport and distribute their products. At Lleó Productos Naturales, we are closely monitoring these regulatory developments because they directly affect how we design and manufacture products for our clients.

 

A Regulation, Not a Directive: Direct Application Across the EU

Unlike the former Directive 94/62/EC, which each country had to transpose into its own national legislation, the new legislation takes the form of a Regulation. This means that it applies directly and uniformly across all Member States, with no scope for differing national
interpretations. In Spain, the national framework established by Royal Decree 1055/2022 is undergoing a comprehensive reform to fully adapt and align with the requirements of the new European legislation before its full application.

Who Does It Really Affect?

This is one of the aspects that most surprises brands: the regulation is not aimed solely at packaging manufacturers. Any company that uses packaging to transport or distribute its products — even if it does not manufacture the packaging itself — also assumes certain
obligations.
In other words, if your supplement brand outsources production to a third party, responsibility for the packaging remains an issue that needs to be addressed.

The Developments with the Greatest Practical Impact

• Packaging minimisation: from 2030, weight and volume must be reduced to the minimum functionally necessary, with elements such as double walls and false bottoms prohibited.
• Mandatory recyclability: all packaging must be recyclable from 2030 and recyclable on a large scale from 2035.
• Minimum recycled content: mandatory percentages of recycled plastic are being established, with increasingly ambitious targets through to 2040.
• Substance restrictions: from August 2026, the presence of PFAS and heavy metals in packaging that comes into contact with food will be restricted, a particularly sensitive issue for food supplements.

Why Is It Advisable to Anticipate These Changes Now?

Although the regulation will be fully enforceable from August 2026, adapting formats, materials and manufacturing processes is not something that can be done immediately.
Reviewing a product’s packaging today — its composition, weight or recyclability — helps to avoid rushed redesigns and last-minute costs.
At Lleó Productos Naturales, we also support brands in this aspect of product development, integrating regulatory requirements from the initial design of the appropriate format through to final production.

Regulatory impact and alternatives for the food supplements sector

 

The European Union moves towards a complete ban on monacolins from red yeast rice. The European Union has approved the definitive ban on monacolins derived from red yeast rice in food supplements. Although the measure still needs to complete certain legislative procedures, it is expected to enter into force by the end of 2026, with a transitional period allowing products already placed on the market to continue being sold until the end of 2027. At Lleó Productos Naturales we are prepared to respond to these changes. Below are some key points.

 

Why are they being banned?

Monacolins, particularly monacolin K, act in a similar way to lovastatin, an active pharmaceutical ingredient used in medicines to reduce cholesterol. Although their effectiveness is widely recognised, European authorities consider that their use in food supplements presents health risks when consumed without medical supervision.

Assessments carried out by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) conclude that it is not possible to establish a completely safe daily intake and that adverse effects similar to those associated with statins may occur, including muscular, hepatic and gastrointestinal issues.

What does this mean for the sector?

Companies marketing products containing red yeast rice will need to prepare for the gradual withdrawal of these ingredients and adapt their formulations to comply with the new regulations.

The main recommended actions are:

• Review purchasing plans and stock management.
• Reformulate products using authorised ingredients.
• Update labelling, technical documentation and regulatory files.

Available alternatives

The disappearance of monacolins from the European market will encourage the use of other ingredients intended to support cholesterol management, including:

• Plant phytosterols and phytostanols. Help reduce intestinal absorption of cholesterol, contributing to lower LDL cholesterol levels.
• Berberine. Supports the removal of circulating cholesterol by increasing LDL receptor activity in the liver.
• Policosanols. Natural compounds that contribute to maintaining healthy lipid metabolism and are generally well tolerated.
• Artichoke extracts (Cynara scolymus). Support liver function and promote biliary excretion of cholesterol.

These alternatives make it possible to develop new formulations aligned with the European regulatory framework and with growing demand for cardiovascular health solutions.

Adapting today to continue growing tomorrow

The gradual withdrawal of monacolins in the European Union will represent a turning point for many brands in the food supplements sector. Although the transitional period will allow for gradual adaptation, anticipating change will be essential to maintain competitiveness and ensure regulatory compliance.

The positive news is that the market already offers alternative ingredients with a strong technical and commercial track record, making it possible to develop innovative formulations for cardiovascular care. Planning reformulation in advance will help minimise risks, optimise stock management and deliver solutions aligned with the new regulatory requirements.

At Lleó Productos Naturales we support our clients throughout the entire process: from raw material selection and new formula development through to regulatory guidance, manufacturing and market launch.

 

If your brand currently works with products based on red yeast rice and you would like to assess alternatives to adapt to the new European regulatory framework, our technical team can help you design the best strategy to ensure continuity across your product portfolio.

Food supplements are part of the wellbeing routine of millions of people. However, myths and misconceptions still surround this category, creating confusion among consumers and undermining the work of brands that are committed to doing things properly. At Lleó Productos Naturales, we know that trust cannot be improvised. It is built through rigour, transparency and reliable information.

We live surrounded by information about health and wellbeing, but also by a great deal of noise. And when the noise takes over, consumers begin to question things. Are supplements regulated? Are they safe? Do they actually work?

Answering these questions clearly is a responsibility shared across the entire sector, and also a major opportunity for brands committed to doing things properly.

Questions and facts

Is the sector regulated? Yes, and far more than most people realise. European and Spanish legislation determines which ingredients can be used, in what quantities, how each product must be labelled and what can be communicated about it. In addition, the authorities must be notified of each product reference before it can be launched on the market.

Are they safe? A serious supplement begins with audited suppliers, testing every batch and manufacturing facilities operating under hygiene and traceability protocols equivalent to those used in the food industry.

Do they work? Yes, if a label promises something, it is because regulations allow it. Only those properties that have been previously assessed and authorised by the European authorities may be communicated.

Trust begins with manufacturing

But these concerns are not addressed through words alone. Above all, they are resolved by manufacturing properly.

Behind every serious supplement there is technically driven formulation, traceable raw materials, quality controls for every batch and strict regulatory compliance from day one.

That is why, for a brand, choosing a manufacturer is also a communication decision. A product that is well formulated, correctly dosed and properly manufactured is the strongest response to noise and misinformation.

What this means for your brand

Today’s consumers compare, question and expect more. Brands that respond with transparency, clear ingredients, meaningful dosages and certified processes, will be the ones that build trust and long-term loyalty.

At Lleó Productos Naturales, as manufacturers of food supplements for third parties, we support brands throughout the entire process: from formulation through to final format, ensuring quality, traceability and regulatory rigour. Because when the sector invests in trust, everyone benefits.

When a consumer takes a supplement and does not perceive results, the cause is rarely just one factor. Effectiveness does not depend only on the ingredients: it depends on how they are formulated, manufactured and used. At Lleó Productos Naturales, we see this every day: there are technical variables that must be controlled from the outset to ensure that a supplement genuinely fulfils its purpose.

Technical factors: the basis of everything

Raw materials. Origin, standardisation and purity define true quality. A well-traceable extract is not comparable to a generic raw material.

Bioavailability. The fact that an ingredient appears in the formula does not mean the body will absorb it: magnesium bisglycinate does not behave in the same way as magnesium oxide. It is essential to understand the source through which nutrients are delivered.

Functional dosages. Sub-therapeutic dosages are common when commercial criteria take precedence over technical considerations.

Synergies and stability. Some active ingredients work more effectively in combination (vitamin C + iron, probiotics + prebiotics), and the effectiveness must be maintained throughout the product’s shelf life.

Industrial factors: manufacturing properly is just as important

A good formula can be undermined by a poor manufacturing process. Temperature, consistency and machinery directly influence the quality of each unit; batch traceability is a genuine guarantee, not only a regulatory requirement. And the choice of the right format directly affects absorption, stability and adherence.

Usage factors: the consumer’s role

Even the best supplement can fail if it is used incorrectly. Timing of intake, consistency of use and the consumer profile all influence outcomes. Most supplements require continued use, and convenience of format is key to maintaining adherence. Managing expectations honestly is the foundation of trust.

Why all of this matters for your brand

Effectiveness is the result of making the right decisions at every stage. Working with a rigorous manufacturer has a direct impact on product credibility and brand reputation. At Lleó Productos Naturales, we support brands through formulation, raw material selection, format development and regulatory compliance. We are a technical partner committed to tailoring each project individually. Because in a market where consumers compare and demand more, real effectiveness is the most powerful differentiator.

[contact-form-7]

If you are creating a brand, you are probably wondering where to begin. The idea may be good, the market attractive and the timing right… but turning that concept into a real, competitive and market-ready product requires far more than intuition. At Lleó Productos Naturales, we see it every day: many brands are born with potential, but only those that structure the process properly from the beginning manage to establish themselves successfully.

Building a Strong Product from the Start

The first major point—and probably the most decisive—is quality. But this should not be understood only as the selection of ingredients; it is a much broader concept. Quality means formulating with purpose, ensuring product stability, choosing the right format and guaranteeing that the user experience aligns with the brand promise.

Many brands make the mistake of focusing solely on “what the product contains”, when consumers also value how it is used, how it is perceived and how it fits into their daily routine. That is why, even before thinking about the launch, it is essential to work on the whole picture: formula, format and positioning must all be coherent.

From there, another critical aspect comes into play: regulatory compliance. In the food supplements sector, having a good idea is not enough. It is essential to develop the product within the current legal framework, from labelling to ingredients and communication. Leaving this point until the end usually results in delays, reformulations and unnecessary costs.

Another decisive factor is process efficiency. Concept development, formulation, testing, production, packaging… each stage has a direct impact on both timing and the project’s viability. The key is not to move faster, but to make the right decisions from the beginning, avoiding corrections later on.

In this context, innovation stops being an abstract concept and becomes a strategic tool. It is not about creating something completely new, but about building a clear and relevant proposition for a specific audience. Sometimes differentiation lies in the formulation; at other times, in the format or the user experience. But it must always exist.

In fact, choosing the right format is one of the most strategic decisions in product development.

The Mistakes That Can Hold Back Your Launch

When a brand is starting out, it is common to fall into certain mistakes which, although they may seem minor, can affect the entire project.

One of the most frequent mistakes is failing to validate the product before developing it. Creating without testing against the market can lead to launching something that does not respond to a real need.

Another common mistake is underestimating regulations. Thinking that “it will be sorted out later” often leads to roadblocks in advanced stages of the project, with the resulting impact on timelines and costs.

It is also common to see brands with decent products but no clear differentiation. Without a defined positioning, communication becomes diluted and the product loses strength in the market.

And finally, one of the most decisive factors: not having specialised technical support. Trying to manage the entire process without experience can lead to poorly optimised decisions, avoidable mistakes and a significant increase in costs.

Why Having a Partner Makes the Difference

Developing a product independently may initially seem like a way to maintain greater control. However, in practice, it usually involves more risk, more time and more mistakes.

Having a specialised partner makes it possible to transform an idea into a viable product from the outset. It is not simply about outsourcing, but about working with a team that provides technical expertise, market insight and development capability.

At Lleó Productos Naturales, this support is based on tailor-made development, adapted to each brand, its positioning and its target audience. From formulation to the final format, every decision is built in a personalised way, avoiding standard solutions and ensuring consistency throughout the entire process.

This approach is fully aligned with one of the sector’s major trends: personalisation.

[contact-form-7]

The food supplements sector is evolving at the same pace as consumers themselves. Today, those who buy supplements are no longer simply looking for generic products to “feel better”; they want solutions that respond to their real needs, their lifestyle, and their wellbeing goals.

The fact is that this transformation is driving a clear market trend: the personalisation of supplements. Hundreds of brands are developing products designed for specific profiles or targeted needs, from formulas for rest and concentration to solutions focused on physical performance or digestive wellbeing.

At Lleó Productos Naturales, we understand this reality and work with it every day, developing solutions adapted to current market demands.

A trend redefining the market

The growing concern for preventive health and holistic wellbeing is expanding the market and creating new opportunities for brands capable of offering more segmented and relevant products.

Today, consumers are looking for:

• Solutions adapted to their lifestyle.
• Products focused on specific goals.
• Transparency in ingredients and dosages.
• Formats that fit into their daily routine.

Personalisation is no longer an added value but a key competitive factor.

From general supplements to specific solutions

For years, a large part of the supplements catalogue focused on broad formulas that could suit most consumers. However, the market is evolving towards much more specific propositions.

Today, we see supplements designed for different profiles:

• People with demanding lifestyles.
• Athletes.
• Consumers concerned about rest.
• Users focused on digestive health.
• People seeking to improve concentration and daily energy.

This segmentation allows brands to connect more effectively with their audience and provide clearer value. The supplement ceases to be generic and becomes a specific solution within the consumer’s wellbeing routine.

Furthermore, personalisation is not only reflected in formulation. It is also present in:

• Formats (capsules, powders, sachets or liquids).
• The consumption experience.
• Adaptation to dynamic lifestyles.

How your brand can adapt

For brands, embracing personalisation means understanding their audience more deeply and designing products that meet genuine needs.

This begins with:

• Identifying what the consumer is looking for.
• Understanding the problem they want to solve.
• Knowing how the product fits into their daily life.

From there, formulations must be:

• Clear.
• Coherent.
• Transparent.

Consumers increasingly value knowing which ingredients a product contains, what their function is, and what dosage they actually provide.

In this process, having an experienced manufacturer makes all the difference:

• Development of bespoke formulas.
• Adaptation of formats.
• Creation of specific product lines.

This allows brands to innovate and build truly differentiated propositions.

Personalisation: a strategic opportunity

Personalisation is not merely a passing trend, but a natural evolution of an increasingly mature market.

As consumers seek solutions better suited to their needs:

• Brands that anticipate demand gain a competitive advantage.
• Positioning is strengthened.
• Connection with the target audience improves.

At Lleó Productos Naturales, we support brands throughout the entire process:

• From formulation.
• To the final product format.
• Aligning each development with current market trends.

We transform ideas into innovative, competitive supplements aligned with what consumers are looking for today.

The key to building long-lasting brands

In a constantly evolving market, the ability to adapt products to real consumer needs is one of the keys to building strong and sustainable brands.

If you are considering developing a new product line or adapting your catalogue, personalisation may be the factor that makes the difference.

When a brand decides to launch a food supplement, it usually focuses first on the formula: ingredients, dosage, benefits, claims. However, there is an equally strategic decision that is often underestimated: the format.

Format is not merely a technical or industrial matter. It directly affects product perception, user experience, production costs, logistics, and ultimately brand positioning.

At Lleó Productos Naturales, as third-party manufacturers, we work with brands in nutrition, wellbeing, sports, and pet care… and we know that choosing between capsules, liquids, powders or sticks can make the difference between a standard launch and a truly competitive proposition.

Why format matters

Consumers do not only buy a formula: they buy convenience, trust, and consistency with their lifestyle.

Format influences:

• Ease of use.
• Perceived effectiveness.
• Quality perception.
• Final price.
• Distribution channel.
• Storage and transport.

It also determines technical aspects such as ingredient stability, shelf life, protection against humidity or oxidation, and packaging requirements.

Choosing the right format from the beginning avoids reformulations, extra costs, and repositioning later on.

Format overview

Capsules

Capsules remain the most established format on the market.

Advantages

• Precise dosing.
• High stability and content protection.

• Launches seeking fast shelf differentiation.

Key factors when choosing the right format

1. Target audience and consumption habits

It is not the same to design a product for:

• Older adults.
• Athletes.
• Young urban audiences.
• Premium consumers.

Each segment has different habits and expectations. The format must adapt to the user’s real routine.

2. Production and logistics costs

Format directly impacts:

• Cost per unit.
• Packaging type.
• Transport weight and volume.
• Storage.
• Shelf life.

Capsules are usually more efficient logistically.
Liquids increase weight and fragility.
Sticks raise unit cost but allow higher pricing.

Profitability must be analysed from the beginning.

3. Supply chain and stability

Some ingredients are sensitive to humidity or oxygen. The format can protect them or require more complex technical solutions.

It also affects:

• Batch control.
• Expiration.
• Future scalability.
• Stock management.

4. End-user experience

Repurchase largely depends on experience:

• Is it convenient?
• Is it easy to integrate into daily routines?
• Is it practical outside the home?
• Does it taste good?
• Is it consistent with the brand promise?

A technically excellent product can fail if the format does not support it.

Practical examples

• Pharmacy vitamin brand → Capsules with a technical focus.
• Energy line for active professionals → Single-dose sticks.
• Collagen for women 40+ → Soluble powder.
• Children’s immune product → Liquid syrup.

The strategic decision that defines your product

There is no universally best format. There is only the format that aligns with:

• Your audience.
• Your sales channel.
• Your positioning.
• Your cost structure.
• Your growth strategy.

At Lleó, we support brands from the initial idea to final production, advising on formulation, regulatory compliance, scalability, and format selection. Because a great food supplement does not start with the label: it starts with a well-made strategic decision.

If you are considering launching a new line or redefining your catalogue, choosing the right format may be the first step towards a stronger and more profitable brand.

[contact-form-7]

If you look for information about supplements, it is easy to jump to a quick conclusion: “if they contain the same ingredient, they must be the same.” Vitamin C is vitamin C. Magnesium is magnesium. Collagen is collagen.

But no. And in supplementation, that “no” is huge, and at Lleó Productos Naturales we know it well.

There is a great amount of information on the subject online and on social media, yes. But there is also a lot of noise. So let’s organise ideas and clearly explain why two supplements that “say the same thing” on the label can be radically different in quality, effectiveness and safety.

1. The ingredient is not just a name

Let’s take a simple example: magnesium.

On the label it may simply say “magnesium”, but which one?

• Magnesium oxide
• Magnesium citrate
• Magnesium bisglycinate
• Magnesium malate
• Magnesium threonate

They are all magnesium, yes. But they are not absorbed in the same way, they are not equally well tolerated and they do not serve the same physiological purpose.

Two products may declare “magnesium”, yet one may merely fulfil a basic requirement, while the other has a real impact on sleep, the nervous system or muscular performance.

2. Bioavailability: what matters is not what you take, but what you absorb

This is one of the things consumers tend to overlook… and one of the major differences between brands.

Bioavailability is the real ability of an ingredient to:

• reach the body,
• be properly absorbed,
• and be effectively utilised.

A cheap ingredient, poorly formulated or in an unstable form, may pass through the body without doing practically anything.

That is why:

• not all vitamins work in the same way,
• not all minerals “are felt”,
• not all plant extracts have a real effect.

Formulation is key. And there are no shortcuts.

3. Dosage: when “including it” does not mean “including enough”

Another classic: ingredients are present… but in irrelevant quantities.

On the label you see:

• collagen
• vitamin C
• zinc

But when you check the dose:

• it is below the effective amount,
• or diluted within a generic blend,
• or designed more for marketing than for real results.

Two supplements may contain the same ingredient and yet:

• one is correctly dosed,
• while the other does not even reach the minimum functional level.

4. Origin and quality of the raw material

Not all raw materials are equal, even if they share the same name.

Key factors include:

• origin,
• extraction method,
• standardisation,
• purity,
• contaminant controls.

A plant extract may be properly standardised and fully traceable, or it may be a generic raw material with no real guarantees. And this is where the manufacturer’s work becomes crucial, not just the ingredient supplier’s.

5. Excipients, blends and “invisible fillers”

Two supplements may share the same active ingredient… but differ greatly in everything else that accompanies it.

• Unnecessary excipients
• Low-quality binders
• Avoidable colourings or additives
• Capsules not suited to the ingredient

All of this is not always visible, but it affects stability, absorption and digestive tolerance.

6. Processes, controls and manufacturing: what you do not see also matters

Here lies one of the greatest differences between serious manufacturers and opportunistic products.

The true quality of a supplement depends on:

• quality controls,
• batch traceability,
• certified processes,
• technical validation of formulas,
• strict regulatory compliance.

At Lleó Productos Naturales, for example, formulation cannot be understood without the process: every ingredient, every dose and every format is developed with technical criteria, not merely commercial ones.

Because in supplementation, manufacturing well is just as important as formulating well.

7. So… why are two “identical” supplements not really the same?

In summary:

• They do not use the same form of the ingredient
• They do not have the same bioavailability
• They are not dosed in the same way
• They do not start from the same raw material
• They are not manufactured under the same standards

And all of this makes the difference between:

• a supplement that simply “exists”
• and a supplement that truly works

In supplementation, detail is everything

Today’s consumer compares, asks questions and demands quality. And rightly so.

Because when it comes to health, wellbeing and prevention, it is not enough for an ingredient to appear on the label. It must be well chosen, well formulated and well manufactured.

At Lleó, we have been clear about this for years: supplements are not defined by what they claim to contain, but by how they contain it.

If your brand wants to go beyond “everyone includes the same ingredients”, that is where the real work begins.
