Supplement Facts label generator
Protein powders, pre-workouts, bars and mixes marketed as dietary supplements need the Supplement Facts panel from FDA 21 CFR 101.36 — not the food label. Nutrillius builds it from your recipe with the same rounding engine as our Nutrition Facts generator, and switching between the two formats is one tap.

What 21 CFR 101.36 actually requires
- The panel is titled “Supplement Facts” with serving size and servings per container beneath it.
- An “Amount Per Serving” and “% Daily Value” two-column layout for nutrients with established Daily Values.
- Dietary ingredients without a Daily Value (botanicals, proprietary blends, many aminos) are listed with a † daggerand the footnote “Daily Value not established.”
- Unlike a food label, zero-amount nutrients may be omitted entirely instead of being declared as 0.
- Below the panel: the other-ingredients list, allergen declaration and the manufacturer/distributor line.
From recipe to panel in Nutrillius
- Enter your formulation in the label maker — by ingredient search, AI recipe import, or manual per-serving values.
- Flip the preview from Nutrition Facts to Supplement Facts. Rounding, Daily Values and the dagger footnotes follow the regulation automatically.
- Export print-ready PNG, PDF or SVG — plus the ingredient statement, allergen declaration, a UPC/EAN barcode and a one-page spec sheet from the same screen.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Supplement Facts and Nutrition Facts?
Foods use the Nutrition Facts panel (21 CFR 101.9); dietary supplements use Supplement Facts (21 CFR 101.36). Supplement Facts may list ingredients with no Daily Value (marked with a † dagger), can omit zero-amount nutrients that Nutrition Facts must show, and lists dietary ingredients like botanicals and blends that never appear on a food panel.
Is my protein powder a food or a supplement?
It depends on how it's marketed and consumed. A powder positioned as a dietary supplement ("supports muscle growth", scoop-per-day serving) typically carries Supplement Facts; a protein product marketed and eaten as a conventional food (like a meal-replacement shake or bar sold as food) carries Nutrition Facts. Many brands ship both product styles — Nutrillius generates either format from the same recipe.
Can I make a Supplement Facts label without a lab test?
For nutrient values, database calculation is commonly used the same way as for foods — that's what Nutrillius does from your formulation. Supplements do carry additional obligations under FDA cGMP rules (21 CFR 111), including verifying ingredient identity, so many brands combine a calculated panel with supplier certificates of analysis.
Is the Nutrillius Supplement Facts format free to try?
Yes — build and preview your panel free in the label maker (the Supplement Facts layout is a one-tap switch from Nutrition Facts, currently in beta). You pay only when you download print files, from $39 for a single label.
