How we work
From concept to retail-ready, with one partner.
We start with the consumer, the channel and the product opportunity, then connect formulation, manufacturing, packaging and launch around one commercial objective.
The path
How a product moves through MCM Labs
Brief
What you want to sell, to whom, through which channel, at what price. The active and dose you have in mind, or the outcome you want and we propose the active.
Format decision
Gummy, tablet, capsule or topical — chosen on dose, stability, sensory profile, economics and how the consumer will actually use it. Not every ingredient belongs in a gummy.
Formulation & pilot
Bench work, flavor and texture iterations, pilot batches. Failed texture tests and taste-masking rounds are part of the record, not hidden from it. Development is credited back to production.
Packaging architecture
Bottle, pouch, sachet, blister or flow wrap selected for your channel and margin, then executed in house.
Manufacturing under GMP controls
Receiving, quarantine, weighing, mixing, depositing or compression, curing, coating, counting, sealing, labeling and case packing — each step with line clearance, in-process checks and a batch record.
Testing & release
Third-party, batch-level testing. A certificate of analysis in your brand's name and a retain sample held on file.
Launch
Finished product, the content shot on your run, and the commercial support to make the shelf work.
"We show the work."
No stock-photo factory theater. No mystery. Clients see the process, the standards and the people responsible for the result — without compromising client confidentiality, trade secrets or GMP controls.
What we show
The process, the people, the decisions, the controls.
- The process. Receiving to case packing, on camera.
- The people. Formulators, operators, QA and project managers explaining what they do and why.
- The decisions. Why pectin over gelatin, why a dose changed, why a flavor needed another round.
- The controls. Batch records, line clearance, sanitation, in-process checks, retain samples, third-party release.
- The learning. Pilot batches, failed texture tests, documented improvement.
What we never show: client formulas, exact ratios, supplier combinations, proprietary processing conditions, batch sequencing or unreleased brands.
Straight answers
Questions we get before the first call
What are your minimums?
Flexible entry volumes with a defined path to scale. The practical minimum depends on format and packaging; send a brief and we quote a starting run and the tiers above it.
Are you GMP and FDA-registered?
Yes. GMP-certified, FDA-registered facility in Las Vegas. Every batch is third-party tested with a COA in your name.
Private label or custom?
Both. Build around your active and dose, or start from a proven platform — creatine, energy, sleep, immune, mushroom — and brand it.
Do you help after the run?
Packaging for your channel, label-claim testing, content shot on your production, and commercialization support are part of the same engagement.
