Staying Competitive: Why U.S. Manufacturing with Green Star Labs is Essential for Nutraceutical Brands Amid Rising Global Tariffs
In light of the recent global trade tariffs implemented by President Trump, it has become increasingly vital for nutraceutical brands to manufacture their products within the United States. The newly imposed tariffs, including a 10% universal tariff on imports and additional levies on specific countries, have led to increased costs for imported goods, particularly impacting industries reliant on foreign-sourced ingredients and components. For instance, the dietary supplement sector, which heavily depends on imported raw materials, is experiencing heightened expenses due to these tariffs. By shifting production to domestic facilities like Green Star Labs, nutraceutical companies can mitigate these added costs, ensuring more stable pricing and supply chains.
Moreover, partnering with Green Star Labs offers nutraceutical brands access to state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and stringent quality standards. Based in San Diego, California, Green Star Labs operates a 50,000-square-foot, GMP-certified facility, providing services such as product development, encapsulation, tableting, and gummy production. The facility’s NSF/ANSI 455-2 Dietary Supplement GMP certification further underscores its commitment to excellence and compliance with U.S. regulations. By manufacturing domestically with Green Star Labs, nutraceutical brands can not only circumvent the financial strain of international tariffs but also enhance product quality and consumer trust through adherence to rigorous manufacturing standards.
