If you’re any of the below

– a creator

– a fitness influencer

– an amazon seller

– a performance marketer

– a social media marketer

– a good salesperson

You should have your own brand. 

You have the tools, you just need a product to own equity in. 

 

Supplements is an amazing category because:

– Entrenched players don’t care about their consumers and have outdated marketing

– Amazon is full of shady knockoff products

– New trends are always coming, and can blow up

– Consumers buy off social media marketing, constantly 

 

I think the opportunity is

– high quality, organic supplements

– unique blends and combinations for increasingly experimental consumers

– made locally (US for US customer, Europe for Europe etc)

 

Paired with

– money back guarantees

– great customer service

– lots of content 

I’ve included all domestic factory options below, because I believe customers right now want (and deserve) US-made products of high quality.

Start a Supplements Brand with … Equinox Nutraceuticals

US based and:

• Organic with B2C and B2B fulfilment
• Offers custom formulation
• Handles dropshipping

Here’s their MOQs:

 

 

Start a Supplements Brand with … Supliful

Supliful is a truly no-touch solution to leverage an audience:

• Pay a monthly fee
• Choose products directly from their catalog
• Minorly customize packaging

… and you’re running – they do it all.

 

Truly the easiest way to start selling… and they have a wide option set. Worth noting that Supliful are US only.

 

Start a Supplements Brand with … Pietra

If you want to:

• build a lineup of multiple custom products (not just supplements)
• and tie in excellent packaging
• plus have fulfilment and pick and pack handled…

Pietra is completely full service, and they make sourcing very easy on their Priority Support tier.

 

Start a Supplements Brand with … Simpson Labs

• A domestic, ultra-modern provider that knows industry trends, and how to solve them in the US.

Here’s what they can make and the packaging types they can fill. 

 

Highly recommended!

 

 

Start a Supplements Brand with … Tru Body Wellness

• Low minimum order quantity
• Starting at 500 units for custom formulations or 100 units for their existing products, with a large catalogue of options.

I’ve sent a lot of people here who praise their responsiveness, as well.

 

The gift and the curse of this industry is how trend-based it is… think how over the last year we’ve seen massive runs for:

• liver + ancestral blends
• glycine
• moss & algae
• charcoal
• chlorophyll
• garlic

On this list, ONLY charcoal has peaked. 

 

My secret source for what’s new and weird in vitamins and supplements?

 

Start a Supplements Brand with … Erewhon

Shop Erewhon’s full menu of supplements online, and monitor to see what’s new. If it’s hot… rest assured they’re testing it…

Also, check out their organic grocer & Cafe:

 

 

PRO TIP!

Use Answer the Public and enter your target category to see what people are searching.

I did this for protein powder and found a lot more people are into caramel flavor than there are options on the market.

There’s plenty of opportunities if you put in the work. 

 

Things to avoid when you start a supplements brand

First and foremost – going cheap on your manufacturer. There are tons of wacky supplements, there are less great ones. Also:

• selling just one product (you need higher average order value to thrive)
• not having packaging up to snuff
• not having a subscription option 

 

There has never been a better time to launch your own product! Here’s my thread on the formula for launching a brand in 2023.

 

Appreciate you reading this!
