Made like medicine.
Every TAB product is made in our own cGMP-certified facility in Istanbul — one documented process from raw ingredient to released batch.
“Build food supplements the way medicines are built — with genuinely bioavailable raw materials, documented quality systems, and no shortcuts.”
Our own facility, on purpose
No rule requires a supplement company to run its own pharmaceutical-grade facility. We built one anyway. TAB products are made in our own cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facility, operating under ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 — because manufacturing in-house is the only way to guarantee what goes into a capsule.

One process, from ingredient to release
Every product starts the same way and finishes the same way. The middle is where each dosage form follows its own path.
Stage 1
The same for every product
-
Ingredient sourcing
Qualified ingredients from approved suppliers.
-
Goods receipt & quarantine
Held on arrival, pending quality control.
-
Quality control testing & release
Sampled and tested before use.
-
GMP storage
Stored under controlled conditions.
-
Production order
The batch record opens the run.
-
Dispensing & weighing
Weighed against the batch record.
Quality gate
No material proceeds to production before quality control release.
Stage 2
Where forms differ
Choose a dosage form to follow its path.
-
Sieving and blending
-
Granulation
-
Final blend
-
Compression
-
Coating and polishing
-
Blistering or bottling
What makes it different
Every tablet batch is checked for weight, hardness, friability and disintegration during the run.
Technical detail
Granulation is chosen per formula: wet granulation with drying and sizing, roller compaction (dry granulation), or direct compression with no granulation at all. Film or sugar coating is optional and is followed by polishing and drying before packaging.
-
Sieving and milling
-
Blending
-
Optional granulation or pelletising
-
Encapsulation
-
Dedusting and weight sorting
-
Blistering or bottling
What makes it different
Powder, pellets or mini-tablets are dosed into the shells, then every capsule is weight-sorted.
Technical detail
Granulation or pelletising is used only when it improves powder flow. After encapsulation, capsules are dedusted and polished, and band sealing can be applied where a formula calls for it.
-
Gel mass prepared
-
Fill mass prepared
-
Rotary-die encapsulation
-
Tumble and tunnel drying
-
Seam and leak inspection
-
Bottling
What makes it different
Two parallel streams — the gel shell and the fill — come together in a single encapsulation step.
Technical detail
The gel mass (gelatin or starch, glycerin and water) is melted, de-aerated under vacuum, coloured and held at around 60 °C. The fill — an oil or suspension — is mixed, homogenised and de-aerated. Ribbons are cast, filled and sealed simultaneously on the rotary die, then dried to target moisture. Washing, printing or enteric coating follow where needed.
-
Sieving
-
Blending
-
Optional granulation and drying
-
Form-fill-seal
-
Seal integrity and checkweighing
-
Cartoning
What makes it different
Effervescent powders are handled in low-humidity rooms, below 25% relative humidity.
Technical detail
Actives are blended with flavours, sweeteners, acidulants and anti-caking agents. Filling runs on vertical form-fill-seal lines with auger or volumetric dosing, and every sachet passes seal-integrity checks and checkweighing.
-
Oil or aqueous preparation
-
Dissolving the active
-
Homogenising
-
Filtration
-
Dropper filling
-
Capping and labelling
What makes it different
Filled into dropper bottles, with an optional nitrogen overlay to protect the contents.
Technical detail
Oil-based drops (such as vitamin D3 in MCT oil) start with gentle warming of the oil base, then dissolving, homogenising, de-aeration and filtration. Aqueous drops are solubilised, mixed and pH-adjusted, with filtration that can be sterile-grade where the formula requires it.
-
Purified water and syrup base
-
Dissolving the actives
-
Flavours and sweeteners
-
pH adjustment and filtration
-
Holding-tank checks
-
Bottle filling and capping
What makes it different
Checked in the holding tank for pH, density, viscosity, assay and micro before a single bottle is filled.
Technical detail
The syrup base is prepared by dissolving sucrose or sorbitol, usually with heating. After make-up to final volume and filtration, pasteurisation is applied where needed. Volumetric filling and capping follow, with a dosing cup or spoon included.
Quality gate
Every batch is tested and released against specification before it leaves the building.
Stage 3
The same for every product
-
In-process controls
Checks during the run itself.
-
Finished-product quality control
The completed batch is tested.
-
Batch record review & release
Reviewed and released to ship.
Certified and registered
The certificates behind the process — cGMP, FDA registration, ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 — available to review in full.
cGMP
Current Good Manufacturing Practice discipline at the core of facility operations.
FDA
Registered production credentials that support trust and accountability.
ISO 9001
Quality management systems built for consistency, reviewability, and control.
ISO 22000
Food safety management systems that reinforce daily-use product confidence.
