Supplement Facts Label Maker Guide

How to create FDA-compliant Supplement Facts labels online. Population-specific DVs, proprietary blends, and 21 CFR 101.36 formatting explained.

Published: 2026-06-01

MOF summary: A supplement facts label maker builds 21 CFR 101.36 panels from your ingredient list �?including population-specific Daily Values, blend formatting, and "Daily Value not established" nutrients. NutriSpec supports six RDI groups (adult, children, pregnant, lactating, infant) with no lab required for formula-based products.

Who Needs a Supplement Facts Label Maker?

If you sell vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, amino acids, probiotics, protein powders marketed as supplements, or any product under FDA's dietary supplement definition, you need a Supplement Facts panel �?not Nutrition Facts.

  • Wrong Daily Value table for your target population
  • Incorrect ordering of dietary ingredients
  • Missing or illegal proprietary blend formatting
  • Rounding errors on minerals and fat-soluble vitamins

What a Good Label Maker Should Do

| Capability | Why it matters | |------------|----------------| | Population-specific DVs | Adult, child, pregnant, and infant DVs differ materially | | Proprietary blend support | 21 CFR 101.36(c)(2) blend rules | | DV-not-established nutrients | Required footnotes for unlisted DVs | | Ingredient statement sync | Dietary ingredients must match label panel | | Export for print | PDF/SVG at correct dimensions |

Step-by-Step: Create a Supplement Facts Label

  1. Classify your product �?supplement vs conventional food (see Supplement vs Nutrition Facts).
  2. Enter ingredients with amounts �?per serving, not per container unless dual-column.
  3. Select target population �?default is adults and children 4+.
  4. Review blends and aliases �?botanicals need standardized common names.
  5. Export and archive �?keep version history for formula changes.

Supplement Facts vs Free Nutrition Label Tools

Most free nutrition label generators only support 21 CFR 101.9 (food). Using them for supplements produces misbranded labels. Choose a tool that explicitly outputs Supplement Facts format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NutriSpec's supplement label maker free?

You can generate labels on the free tier (5 labels/month). Paid plans add API access, team seats, and batch export.

Can I switch from Nutrition Facts to Supplement Facts?

Only if FDA classifies your product as a dietary supplement. Reclassification requires regulatory review �?do not swap panel types without confirming product category.

Does the maker support proprietary blends?

Yes. List blend name, total weight, and ingredients in descending order; individual amounts inside the blend can remain undisclosed per FDA rules.
