- **Where:** 37/42-46 Wattle Road, Brookvale NSW 2100, on Sydney's Northern Beaches. We work with brands across Australia and New Zealand.

- **Pathways:** TGA-listed medicines, foods and cosmetics, in capsules, tablets and chewables, softgels, gummies, powders and sachets, liquids and oils, and creams and serums.
- **Track record:** 190 projects since 2020; 32 days from design to production order on a complex herbal capsule; 5.8 months from signed brief to dispatch for EverLeanBody.
- **Pricing:** fixed fees for a defined outcome at each stage, and manufacturing priced per unit. No hourly meters.

## A development partner, not a single factory
(https://takefridayoff.com/supplement-development-sydney#a-development-partner-not-a-single-factory)

A manufacturer makes what it is given. It won't check whether your formula fits its pathway, whether your claims hold up or whether your label is right. That risk sits with you, and it surfaces after launch, when fixing it means relabelling or pulling stock.

We carry the whole job as one team, and we manage the manufacture: cGMP partners matched to your format, volume and margin, then release testing, imports and freight through to your warehouse or 3PL.

## The five steps
(https://takefridayoff.com/supplement-development-sydney#the-five-steps)

The Launch Engine™ runs the steps side by side, not one after another:

1. **Discover:** market, portfolio, pathway and forecast aligned before anything is formulated.
2. **Design:** evidence-based formulation, with early access to new ingredients.
3. **De-risk:** claims, evidence, labels and listings, prepared alongside the formula, not after it.
4. **Deliver:** we manage your manufacturing: production, packaging, release testing and freight.
5. **Drive:** reorders, range extensions and your next SKU, with the same team.

## Frequently asked questions

**Is Take Friday Off a supplement manufacturer in Sydney?**
We're a product development company, not a factory. We develop the product and make it compliant, then manage its manufacture through audited cGMP partners matched to its format, volume and margin, and deliver it to your warehouse or 3PL.

**Do you only work with Sydney brands?**
No. We're based in Brookvale and work with brands across Australia and New Zealand.

**Can you help me build a TGA-listed supplement brand?**
Yes: the formula inside the permitted ingredients and indications, the evidence for every claim, the label, the stability program and the listing, which your company certifies as the sponsor. We're built for established brands and for challenger brands with the backing to scale; the readiness check takes four questions.

**What does it cost?**
Development stages are fixed fees for a defined outcome, and manufacturing is priced per unit. See what a supplement costs to develop.
