Research & Development Beware the R&D Department at Manufacturers! What to watch for R&D is by far the most critical element of your Private Labels experience. If the ‘stuff’ on the inside doesn’t work then it doesn’t matter what is on the outside. You will only ever sell it once. 1: There are many companies in the market that state they have a ‘chemist’ on staff. While that many be true for some, it is certainly not the case for most. Many companies employ staff that simple take existing formulation from ingredient suppliers and claim it as there own. With little education and even less real-market experience these companies charge the client for R&D costs. 2: Some manufacturers have certified chemist on hand. The challenge with in-house manufacturing chemists is their mandate is to use ingredients that are already in-house. This presents a problem in three ways. One; you are not getting a truly unique and innovative product because all their clients have the same ingredients. Two; Many of these chemist have not had any real experience in how your product is suppose to perform in the market. They create a textbook formula without really knowing how the product is to work. Three; when you have a formula that you know works and you take it to a new manufacturer, they will no doubt change the formula in order to save costs. In many cases you have no idea they have done so. 3: It is a common practice that while a manufacturer will say they will give you the formula (whether new or existing) they seldom ever do. By retaining the formula (the batching reports and recipe) they ensure that you cannot leave the without considerable hassle and aggravation. Even when they put it in writing, they still give you a formula that has had ‘alterations’ made ensuring your failure in another facility. When you go to enquire why the formula didn’t work at another facility, they will nearly always blame your ‘new’ chemist for being inadequate and incapable. Don’t think purchasing your formula makes a difference either – it won’t. While there are absolutely manufacturing facilities that do honorable and fair work through their R&D departments, they are rare and few and far between. Manufacturers are fulfillment centers for Private Label clients. So many headaches would be avoided if PL clients used manufacturing to fulfill and not to create. RSPL works tirelessly to ensure that you avoid being taken advantage off and get the quality and uniqueness you are paying for. RSPL has a stable of experienced chemists and formulators that have first-hand knowledge in their fields of expertise. Whether it is a natural/organic based, neutraceutical, pharmaceutical, vitamin or supplement, you can be assured of the highest degree of QUALITY, ASSURANCE ad PRODUCT UNIQUENESS. ROOT SOURCE independent Formulators & Chemists make the difference Leading our team is our own group of RSI Directors of R&D. RSI established the importance to have a secure and trusted Independent collective of Chemists and Formulators on staff or as exclusive consultants for product development. This ensures our client from conception to final product that they will always be in control of their formulations and not the manufacturer selected to develop the product. This control is a critical element to the success of the company developing the lines. Without the secured knowledge that the formulations work and can be produced anywhere, any time and never be ransomed by a contract manufacturer. At RSI we work diligently to create winning formulations that exceed your expectations. Our Formulators will even go on-site to ensure that select fulfillment manufacturers get it right. The one thing about manufacturing a product is that it is all about quality ingredients and percentages. With the aid of our Formulators on-site working with selected manufacturers helps to ensure batching success and thus aid in reducing time and costs spent in this process. Custom Products: Made with you in mind You own the formulation At ROOT SOURCE INC. you can own your own formulations. It is simply based on a base cost per hour to develop your product. You are charged for the number of hours it takes for you and our Formulators/Chemists to create the exact product you want. Selecting the 'right' manufacturer for your project Over the years we have discovered that certain Chemist, Laboratories and Manufacturing facilities offer a varied and often unique combination of skills and abilities. In working with these many North American venues, we have been able to determine first-hand and in real-time experience which companies and professionals are good at specific projects. Let us source out the perfect match to your specific needs. In so doing, we can reduce your wait time and eliminate your time in doing the sourcing yourself.

Much of the standard North American diet has no enzymatic activity. Enzymes once found naturally in our food are no longer available. Foods grown in depleted soil contains few enzymes, and heating or over-processing destroys many of the enzymes that remain. We deplete our body’s enzymes reserves every time we eat our usual diet, leaving few to perform healing functions throughout the body.

At RSPL, we know from experience that a successful product is more that a ‘pretty picture’ on the front of the package. Without appropriate and legal labeling information, products entering local and international markets can, and will likely be severely curtailed. At RSPL we are dedicated to giving you labeling that works, informs and meets international standards. When the opportunity to expand your product into new markets arises, be sure you can take advantage of the opportunity expeditiously and with confidence.

: Production RSPL knows and understands first hand that Production quality and efficiencies are critical to the finalization of a Private Label Product. Over the past decade RSPL staff have worked with many of the top production facilities in North America. Let us bring this wealth of knowledge to you. Once our R&D team has produced your product, RSPL will then use our experience and knowledge to find the right manufacturer for your product. Why should you spend months of evaluating and resourcing manufactures to find one that is right for you, when we can do it for you in minutes? We get you your products faster. The reality out in the Private Label world is some plants are good at production and weak in R&D. Some are excellent at R&D and unreliable at production. Some are simply bad or good at both. For most PL developers, whether they are independent or corporate, it is a crapshoot when sourcing production and R&D. The reality is that these PL developers only learn of a companies weakness when it is too late. When they have missed a production deadline, the product breaks-down due to poor formulations, unsanitary facilities and a wealth of other reasons. Why risk it when there is a simple and effective solution – RSI. RSI helps you avoid the pitfalls of learning who is good at what because we know their individual strengths and weaknesses. Avoid the waste of money and valuable time by using our knowledge base to ensure your fast and effective product launch or entry. Our understanding of ISO9000 requirements and other regulations makes it easy for you to concentrate on other aspects of your business. RSPL acts as your partner in Private Label production.

BEST PRICE Once a facility for fulfillment has been selected, RSPL staff will use our knowledge of the industry to get you the very best pricing available.
