Commack, NY (September 16, 2016) – Gemini Pharmaceuticals, a 30 year old contract manufacturer of dietary supplements and OTC pharmaceuticals, was the first contract manufacturer to gain certification under the new RIBUS® Certified Contract Manufacturer Program. Gemini, over the course of the past 4 years, has demonstrated the viability of utilizing RIBUS rice-based alternatives, Nu-FLOW® and Nu-RICE®, to provide Clean Label dietary supplement formulas. Gemini is now proud to include the latest Ribus material, Nu-MAG, in its ever expanding portfolio of options for Clean Label products.

Now, RIBUS has continued to advance its technology platform with the introduction of Nu-MAG™, making Magnesium Stearate replacement easier than ever before.
