Custom vitamin & mineral premixes
Need a reliable, application-ready premix that meets your label claim, processing conditions and stability targets? Atlas Global Trading Co. develops custom premixes for fortified foods, functional beverages, supplements and feed applications— with carefully selected actives, carriers and anti-caking systems to support consistent dosing and long-term performance.
Faster batching, fewer errors
Premixes reduce weighing complexity and help minimize operator error by consolidating multiple micronutrients into a single, standardized ingredient—ideal for high-throughput production environments.
Optimized for heat, pH and oxygen
We select forms and technologies (including stabilized and coated options) that better withstand common processing stresses such as pasteurization, UHT, extrusion, baking, low pH and oxidative conditions.
Consistent specs & documentation
Each premix can be supported with defined composition, COA parameters, allergen/GMO statements and traceability documentation suitable for international procurement and quality teams.
What can be included in a custom premix?
Your premix can be designed for one specific product line (e.g., RTD beverage, gummies, bakery, infant cereal, premix sachets) or a broader platform. Below are typical building blocks—final selection depends on stability targets, regulatory requirements and your processing conditions.
Vitamins
Vitamin C, vitamin E (powder or oil), vitamin A, vitamin D3, vitamin K, B-complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12), beta-carotene and other specialty vitamins depending on your claim strategy.
Minerals
Calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, iodine, selenium, chromium and other minerals in forms chosen for compatibility, taste impact, bioavailability expectations and formulation constraints.
Functional actives
Depending on your market and concept, premixes may include additional nutritional actives (where permitted and appropriate), such as selected amino acids or functional ingredients to support product positioning.
Carriers & processing aids
Food-grade carriers (e.g., maltodextrin/dextrose-type systems) and flow aids/anti-caking systems can be used to ensure accurate micro-dosing, reduce segregation and improve handling in your factory.
How Atlas builds a premix that works in real production
A premix is not just “ingredients in a bag.” It must flow, dose and disperse consistently while protecting sensitive micronutrients. We align composition with your process, packaging and shelf-life expectations.
1) Claim & dosage engineering
We start from your target label claim and serving size, then calculate practical inclusion rates and tolerances so you can hit claims reliably without over-fortifying unnecessarily.
2) Form selection for stability
Heat, moisture, oxygen and pH can degrade sensitive vitamins. Where needed, we recommend stabilized/coated options and balance mineral forms to reduce reactivity.
3) Carrier & flow optimization
Carriers are chosen to improve homogeneity and reduce segregation. Flow aids can be used to improve handling and dosing, especially for automated feeders.
4) QC-ready documentation
Your premix can be supported with a clear specification sheet, COA parameters, allergen/GMO statements and export documents aligned with buyer requirements.
Typical specification framework
Final specifications depend on your composition and market requirements. Below is the structure procurement and QA teams commonly request.
| Parameter | Typical approach | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Free-flowing powder or granulated blend | Color may vary depending on actives (e.g., beta-carotene) |
| Potency / assay | Defined actives with target range | Label claim engineering + manufacturing tolerances |
| Carrier system | Food-grade carrier matched to application | Selected to reduce segregation and improve dosing consistency |
| Flowability | Anti-caking / flow aids as needed | Important for micro-dosing and automated equipment |
| Microbiological | Set per application and customer requirement | Stricter limits may apply for sensitive categories |
| Allergens / GMO | Documented upon request | Statements provided based on selected raw materials |
| Shelf life | Defined based on composition and packaging | Typically stored cool, dry, away from light/oxygen |
Applications
Premixes can be tailored to your process and format—powders, RTDs, syrups, gummies, tablets, capsules, bakery and more.
Beverages
Functional waters, RTD teas, juices, energy and sports drinks. Stability considerations include low pH, oxygen exposure, heat treatment and clarity requirements.
Bakery & cereals
Fortified flour systems, cereal coatings, bars and baked snacks. Key factors include heat stability and uniform distribution in dry mixes.
Dairy & plant-based
Yogurt drinks, dairy beverages, plant-based milks and desserts. We consider pH, processing temperature, fat phase and potential interactions with proteins and stabilizers.
Supplements & nutrition
Sachets, gummies, tablets, capsules and powdered drink mixes. Premixes support consistent potency and simplify batching for contract manufacturers and brand owners.
Feed & premix trade
Vitamin/mineral premixes for feed applications can be designed around dosing systems, particle size requirements and stability during storage and distribution.
Private label & custom concepts
Launch-ready concepts (e.g., immunity, beauty, performance) can be supported with documentation and repeatable specs for consistent procurement and production.
Packaging, labeling & export
Packaging is selected to protect sensitive actives from moisture, oxygen and light while supporting efficient handling in your facility. Final options depend on shipment size and stability needs.
Common packaging formats
- Multi-wall paper bags with inner liner
- PE-lined cartons
- Food-grade drums (with inner liner)
- Bulk palletized shipments
Documentation support
- COA / specification sheet (batch-level)
- Allergen and GMO statements (where applicable)
- Origin and export documents per shipment
- Optional stability guidance and storage recommendations

FAQ
What information do you need to quote a custom premix?
Share your target label claims (per serving), serving size, product format (powder, beverage, bakery, etc.), processing conditions (heat, pH), target shelf life, target markets and expected order volume. If you have a preferred ingredient list or restricted substances list, include that as well.
Can you support stability for low pH beverages?
Yes—low pH, oxygen and heat treatment can reduce potency for certain vitamins. We can recommend more suitable forms and protective technologies and align packaging and storage guidance with your beverage process.
Do you provide COA and documentation with each shipment?
We can provide batch-level COA parameters and common documentation packages (specifications, allergen/GMO statements and export documents) depending on the materials and destination requirements.
What are typical lead times?
Lead time depends on composition, raw material availability, documentation and packaging format. Send your target spec and shipping terms and we’ll confirm a realistic production and dispatch timeline.
