In the booming wellness industry, nutraceutical products and health supplements are often mentioned side by side — but are they the same? If you’re planning to build your own brand with private labelling or white labelling services, understanding the distinction is essential.

At Biowell Laboratories, we specialize in manufacturing a wide range of wellness products — including capsules, powders , tablets, softgels, and gummies — and we’re here to guide you through the basics.

🧬 What Are Health Supplements?

Health supplements are formulated to support overall health and fill nutritional gaps in the diet. They typically contain:

• Vitamins and minerals
• Herbal products and botanical extracts
• Amino acids, enzymes, or probiotics
  
  

These are regulated as dietary supplements and are intended for general wellness rather than specific medical conditions.

Example: A vitamin C tablet that helps support immune function falls under the health supplement category.

 

🌿 What Are Nutraceutical Products?

Nutraceutical products go a step beyond. They are designed not only for nutritional support but also to provide therapeutic or preventative health benefits. They often contain high-potency ingredients backed by clinical research.

Common forms of nutraceuticals include:

• Herbal products for targeted benefits
• Functional foods or fortified beverages
• Concentrated nutrients in capsule, powder, tablet, gummy, or softgel forms
  
  

Example: A turmeric softgel standardized to 95% curcuminoids for joint inflammation is a nutraceutical, not just a supplement.
