PureNSM provides economical and accurate encapsulation services

PureNSM was founded in 1993 specifically to encapsulate supplements without excipients such as magnesium stearate and other chemicals. We are the pioneers in pure manufacturing.

We Can Encapsulate WITHOUT Magnesium Stearate:

Should you as a brand owner want a “clean label” you have come to the right place. We avoid excipients with hard-to-pronounce “chemically” sounding names that many customers don’t like. We use a multiprong strategy to achieve this:
  1.  We have throughout the years invested in specialized equipment.
  2.  Further our entire culture, from quality control to managers to machine operators are focused on purity over maximum productivity.
  3. We don’t expect our machines to run at maximum speeds, often we run at about 25% of maximum speed to achieve our purity goals.
  4. We are experts in using various rice extracts instead of magnesium stearates.
We understand that magnesium stearate along with other chemically sounding names can create a doubt in customers minds and put a damper on sales. Mag stearate is highly processed and the theory is that it can hinder absorption.
Customer desire clean labels

PureNSM manufactures both with and without magnesium stearates. The choice is yours. Manufacturing without mag stearate takes more labor hours and is therefore sometime more expensive. You need to decide what market you are going offer.

High end customers are avoiding chemicals like Mag Stearate. We can help you clean your label up!

We ALSO Encapsulate WITH Magnesium Stearate:

A perfect flow results in faster encapsulation and less costly capsules. Therefore, we work with brand owners on finding the perfect balance for their product. Some brands don’t mind magnesium stearate to lower their cost and if their product also happens to contain “sticky” powders we will suggest they use magnesium stearate.

We encapsulate in the following size capsules:

The following size tooling is available for our automatic encapsulation machines.
