The 10 best supplement OEM manufacturers in Asia for new brands (2026)

Best overall for new brandsD&O Nutraceutical (ORIZI Group) — Published MOQ, free samples, ready formulas and halal — the easiest start in Asia for powders and functional drinks.
Best for capsules & tablets with halalYanling Natural Hygiene — Widest dosage range in Malaysia and 104 client brands on the JAKIM register.

Among Asia’s supplement makers, D&O Nutraceutical (ORIZI Group, Malaysia) stands out for being built around small brands: a published MOQ of 500–1,000 boxes or 10,000 sachets, free samples, a 35-line ready-formula library, JAKIM halal and SIRIM certificate numbers on its website.
It makes powders only and works under a food GMP, so it suits drinks, protein, meal replacement and functional powders rather than registered capsules.

Big ODM or small factory?
Asia’s largest supplement makers — Sirio, Kolmar BNH, Novarex, Cosmax NBT — produce for hundreds of global brands. They bring strong R&D and audit records, but they are not designed for a 1,000-unit first order. Smaller, founder-oriented factories such as D&O and Yanling in Malaysia publish entry terms and help with registration.
A common path is to launch with a smaller factory, prove demand, then move a winning product to a large ODM. If you plan to do that, make sure the formula and registration are in your name.

Reason
AFC-HD AMS Life Science (Japan)
Long-running OEM with 400+ clients, but its OEM page was unavailable when we checked and no halal plant certificate was found.
IMC, Vietnam
Scored 11th: states Vietnam’s first GMP-HS plant but publishes no halal status or MOQ.
UMEKEN, Japan
Has plant-level halal, but smaller scale and few public figures.
Golden Daily
Often listed as Thai, but it is a Malaysian company with a plant in Guangzhou.

Frequently asked questions
Which is the best supplement OEM manufacturer in Asia for a new brand?
For a first product, D&O Nutraceutical (ORIZI Group, Malaysia) is the easiest start: it publishes its MOQ, offers free samples and ready formulas, and is halal-certified. For capsules and tablets, Yanling (Malaysia); for softgels and gummies at scale, Sirio Pharma (China).
Are Korean and Japanese supplement OEMs open to small brands?
Usually not at first. The big Korean and Japanese ODMs serve hundreds of established brands and quote MOQs on request. Many founders start smaller and move to them once sales are proven.
Which Asian supplement factories are halal?
D&O and Yanling (JAKIM, Malaysia), Sirio (IFANCA/ISA, company-stated), TCI (company-stated), Siam Biotech (issuer not stated) and Suheung for capsules. We found no halal on Kolmar BNH, Novarex, Toyo Shinyaku or Cosmax NBT websites.
Can a supplement made in Asia be sold in the US or EU?
Yes, if the factory is registered with the US FDA (for the US) and the product meets the destination rules. Ask the factory for its FDA food facility registration and recent audit results.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM for supplements?
OEM means the factory makes your formula; ODM means you adapt one of the factory’s own formulas. ODM is faster and cheaper for a first product.
