What Forge is

A prototyping system.
Not a finished product.

Forge is

  • Real, specification-grade raw ingredients
  • 13–21 pre-weighed pouches, 370 g to 4.4 kg of material
  • A structured way to validate a formula
  • The first step toward manufacturing with MHS

Forge is not

  • A finished, market-ready supplement
  • Custom formulation or ingredient swaps
  • Compliance advice or TGA guidance
  • A product you can resell as-is

Forge kits produce prototypes — approximately 60% of a commercial product. What’s missing is intentional: professional flavour optimisation, FSANZ-aligned compliance review, final batch documentation, and commercial-scale production tolerances. That work belongs at MHS.

The process

Three steps.
Real prototypes.

F-PROCESS · v1.1
13–21 pouches per kit
Manufactured by MHS
01

Choose your kit

Pick a category and kit, then add the Flavour Kit — at least three flavour pouches, sweeteners and masking agent included. Every selection is a real, individually labelled SKU, not a configurator trick.

F-CHOOSE · ON SITE
02

Forge ships

Made to order by MHS in Brisbane, typically delivered within 28 days. Arrives as a structured prototype kit with a limits card and an instruction sheet.

F-MAKE · BRISBANE
03

Taste. Iterate.

Run the prototype as many times as the material allows. Note what works. Re-order with adjusted flavour or sweetener. Move toward a real product.

F-TEST · YOUR BENCH

Every prototype

Ships with
its spec sheet.

Every Forge build arrives with a full pouch manifest — every material, its net weight, its batch ID, manufacture date and lot. No recommended formula: what you build from it is yours to record. Iterate against the paper, not against memory.

The next step

Your prototype is step one.

When you’re ready to manufacture, MHS takes your concept the rest of the way. Professional flavour optimisation, regulatory compliance, and small-to-medium batch manufacturing — built for Australian supplement brands. The same team that formulated your Forge kit knows exactly what a production-ready version of it looks like.

  1. 03

    Batch manufacturing

    Small-to-medium production runs with batch records and traceability, from a licensed Brisbane facility.

  2. 02

    Compliance review

    FSANZ-aligned formula and label review before production — the work Forge deliberately does not do.

  3. 01

    Professional flavour development

    Your prototype flavour direction, refined by the MHS development team to a commercial standard.

  4. 04

    Labelling and 3PL fulfilment

    Graphics, labelling, and third-party logistics for your first production run and the repeatable runs after it.

Common questions

Before you build.

F-FAQ · v2.6
Need more?
Contact support
01 · How is my kit shipped? +
Every kit is on back-order and made to order — nothing is held in stock. MHS manufactures and packs it in Brisbane after you order, and typical delivery is within 28 days of purchase. Shipping options and costs are shown at checkout.
02 · Is the prototype shelf-ready? +
No. Forge produces structured prototypes — roughly sixty percent of a finished product. They are for tasting, iteration, and proving the concept. Compliance, regulatory work, and final formulation happen at the MHS layer.
03 · Can I customise the formulation? +
Not at the Forge layer. Forge sells fixed kits, with the Flavour Kit as the one thing you compose. Customisation is what MHS does. Forge is the bench — MHS is the manufacturing partner.
04 · Why is the Flavour Kit recommended? +
Because taste decides whether your prototype lives or dies. A base kit on its own is a bitter powder. The Flavour Kit — three flavour pouches minimum, sweeteners and masking agent included — is how your prototype stays drinkable.
05 · Where is it manufactured? +
Every kit is packed by MHS in Brisbane, Australia — a licensed food manufacturing facility (food licence FL-653816, HACCP certificate 500-25350-H). MHS makes food-type supplements; it does not manufacture TGA-listed therapeutic goods.
06 · What's the difference between Forge and MHS? +
Forge is the prototype layer — fast, structured, retail. MHS is the manufacturing layer — full formulation, flavour optimisation, compliance, and larger runs. Forge founders who validate a concept convert to MHS clients.
