How to Use the FDA Supplement Facts Label Maker & Nutrition Chart Generator (Step-by-Step Workflow)

Building a compliant FDA 21 CFR 101.36 Supplement Facts panel or 21 CFR 101.9 Nutrition Chart takes four deterministic steps:

  1. Select Panel Regulatory Format: Toggle between FDA 21 CFR 101.36 Supplement Facts and 21 CFR 101.9 Conventional Food Nutrition Facts.
  2. Define Serving Size & Servings Per Container: Enter the household unit and gram weight (e.g., '2 Capsules (1.4g)' or '1 Scoop (32g)') and total container servings.
  3. Enter Active Dietary Ingredients, Vitamins & Proprietary Blends: Input milligram, microgram, or gram quantities; the engine automatically separates RDI/DRV nutrients (%DV) from non-established (†) actives.
  4. Add Other Ingredients, Allergens & Export Vector Artwork: Declare capsule excipients, flow agents, and FALCPA Top-9 allergens below the box and export print-ready vector SVG/CSV/JSON.

Who This Tool Is For: Practical Kitchen, Nutrition & Clinical Use Cases

Private-label supplement founders, sports nutrition formulators, and cottage food brands use this generator to prototype regulatory-grade panels:

  • Sports Nutrition & Pre-Workout Brands: Pair with the Daily Protein & Leucine Calculator — Formulate whey isolate, EAA, and creatine powders with verified %DV protein and † amino acid rows.
  • Packaged Food & Beverage Makers: Pair with the FDA 21 CFR 101.9 Nutrition Label Maker — Switch to standard Vertical, Tabular Horizontal, or Cereal Dual-Column food labels when selling conventional foods.
  • Cottage Bakery & Meal-Prep Entrepreneurs: Pair with the Food Cost & Recipe Pricing Calculator — Calculate batch ingredient cost per unit alongside your nutritional panel.
  • Formulators Scaling Batch Weights: Pair with the Kitchen Unit & Gram Converter — Convert bulk kilogram and gram formulation sheets into scoop and household serving weights.

FDA 21 CFR 101.36 Regulatory Architecture: RDI/DRV Ordering, Proprietary Blends & Footnotes

Dietary supplement labeling under DSHEA and 21 CFR 101.36 differs structurally from conventional food labeling in three mandatory ways: (verified against USDA FoodData Central and FDA 21 CFR 101.9 / 101.36 Reference Standards):

  1. Mandatory Skip-Zero Rule (21 CFR 101.36(b)(2)): Whereas conventional food labels must list all core macronutrients even when 0g, Supplement Facts panels must omit any calorie or macronutrient row that is present at zero or insignificant amounts.
  2. Above-the-Bar (RDI/DRV) vs. Below-the-Bar (†) Segregation: Vitamins, minerals, protein, carbs, and fiber with official FDA Daily Values must be listed first in prescribed statutory order above a heavy bar. Botanicals, probiotics, creatine, and individual amino acids sit below that bar with the † symbol.
  3. Proprietary Blend Indentation & Weight Predominance: When grouping botanicals or nootropics into a Proprietary Blend, the total blend weight in mg/g must carry the † symbol, and sub-ingredients must be indented in descending order of weight.

Frequently Asked Questions: Supplement Facts & Nutrition Chart Maker

What is the difference between a Supplement Facts label maker and a Nutrition Facts label maker?

Conventional foods and beverages are regulated under FDA 21 CFR 101.9 and must display a 'Nutrition Facts' panel listing all core macronutrients even when their value is zero. Dietary supplements (capsules, tablets, powders, gummies, and tinctures) are regulated under 21 CFR 101.36 and use a 'Supplement Facts' panel that omits zero-value macros and lists non-RDI botanicals or amino acids with a dagger (†) footnote ('Daily Value not established').

How do I list a proprietary blend or creatine on a Supplement Facts chart?

Under 21 CFR 101.36(c), dietary ingredients without an established Reference Daily Intake (such as Creatine Monohydrate, L-Citrulline, Ashwagandha, or a Proprietary Blend) are placed below the established vitamins/minerals, marked with a † symbol in the %DV column, and linked to the footnote '† Daily Value not established.'

Can I generate both food nutrition charts and supplement labels for free?

Yes. You can customize your serving size, servings per container, macronutrients, vitamins/minerals, and active botanical or amino acid rows here, or switch to our full multi-format FDA Nutrition Label Maker for vertical, tabular, dual-column cereal, and linear food packaging panels.
