What Capstone Nutrition does

Capstone Nutrition is a privately held, pure-play contract manufacturer of dietary supplements and sports nutrition products, headquartered at 900 Depot Drive in Ogden, Utah. Founded in 1989 and operating with 251–500 employees, the company produces capsules (including gelatin, vegetarian, delayed-release, and liquid-encapsulation formats), tablets (coated), and a broad range of powders spanning protein (whey and plant-based), meal replacement, amino acid blends, collagen, probiotics, vitamins and herbal blends, effervescent, and specialty nutrients. It fills these products into nine packaging configurations including bottles, jars, canisters, stick packs, single-serve pouches, multi-pack sachets, gusset bags, drums, blister cards, and super sacks.

The company's technical backbone is an on-site ISO 17025 accredited chemistry and microbiology laboratory equipped with FTIR, NIR, HPTLC, HPLC/UPLC-MS, and ICP-MS instrumentation, plus ELISA allergen/gluten testing and probiotic enumeration. This laboratory is integrated with a dedicated R&D and innovation function and an on-site regulatory compliance team, enabling Capstone to support customers from product concept through formulation, production, and packaged delivery. A wide certification stack (NSF cGMP, NSF Certified for Sport, Informed Sport, Informed Choice, USP GMP, UL GMP, SSCI GMP, SQF, Health Canada, TGA Australia, USDA Organic, Kosher, Halal, Vegan, GFCO, NSF Gluten-Free, CFF) underwrites access to mainstream dietary supplement, sports nutrition, and international brand customers.

Capstone is a member of the INW (Innovations in Nutrition and Wellness) network of contract manufacturing facilities, which also includes Dallas One Solutions, ProForm Laboratories, Phoenix Formulations, Living Ecology, and Bee Health. Revenue is generated through custom contract manufacturing engagements with dietary supplement and sports nutrition brands, priced on a quote basis tied to formulation, volume, and service scope; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company operates a B2B, consultative enterprise sales motion without disclosed customer logos, channel partners, or revenue figures. Leadership is headed by division President Kevin Elsberry.
