Why Manufacturing Supplements in the U.S. Just Makes Sense
If you’re still manufacturing overseas, now’s the time to rethink that strategy.
Tariffs are rising. Lead times are dragging. Shipping is unpredictable. And consumers are paying closer attention to where their supplements come from… and how they’re made.
More brands are moving production to the U.S. for one reason: control. With that comes greater compliance, consistency, and peace of mind. Here’s why that shift makes sense and how Factory6 helps you make it work.
1. Built-In Trust: GMP-Certified Facilities
Manufacturing in the U.S. means your products are made in facilities that follow some of the strictest standards in the world. GMP certification requires:
Clean, controlled production environments
Accurate dosing and ingredient handling
Full traceability and detailed batch records
At Factory6, we don’t just meet those standards, we build our entire process around them. If you're aiming for long-term brand loyalty, cutting corners isn’t an option.
2. FDA Oversight = Safer, Compliant Products
In the U.S., supplements are regulated under the FDA’s Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). That means:
Ingredients, labels, and claims must meet federal standards
Facilities are regularly inspected
Quality systems must be documented and verifiable
This level of oversight isn’t a burden, it’s a competitive advantage. It protects your brand, your customers, and your growth.
3. Supply Chain Flexibility That Works
Global manufacturing isn’t the no-brainer it used to be. Even when it looks cheaper on paper, it often leads to:
Ingredient delays
Port congestion
Unreliable timelines
Limited visibility
At Factory6, we source from both domestic and global suppliers, giving you the flexibility to stay competitive without losing control.
You’ll benefit from:
Better lead time management
Fewer last-minute surprises
A partner who can pivot quickly when needed
You don’t have to give up global access. You just gain better oversight.
4. No Tariff Surprises or Cross-Border Costs
Working with overseas manufacturers often means dealing with:
Fluctuating tariffs
Currency conversion issues
International freight and customs fees
At Factory6, we are constantly working with domestic and international suppliers to find the best available options to reduce tariff fluctuations.
5. Better Communication, Faster Collaboration
When Factory6 is your manufacturer, you don’t have to wait days for a reply or wonder who’s managing your project.
With us, you get:
Fast, direct communication with your dedicated project manager
Aligned time zones that allow for real-time decisions
Clear project timelines and proactive updates
From formulation and flavor development to packaging and compliance, you’ll never be left in the dark.
6. A Stronger Story That Builds Consumer Trust
Consumers want to know where their supplements come from. When your product says “Manufactured in the USA”, backed by GMP certification and FDA compliance, you’re telling a story that sells.
It shows:
You care about quality
You value transparency
You’re building something that lasts
That kind of trust isn’t just earned… it’s manufactured ;) .

A GMP-certified U.S. facility
Ingredient sourcing from both global and domestic suppliers
