What are private label supplements?
The private label supplement business model is a strategy where a third-party company is responsible for manufacturing the supplements (usually selling them in bulk) while another company buys these products, labels them with their brand, and finally sells them to the final public.
Private label supplement manufacturers usually specialize in a specific type of product.
Thus, they usually offer vitamins, proteins, or other supplements in the form of:
- Encapsulated;
- Powders;
- Gel capsules;
- Liquids.
For the success of the strategy it is essential that the supplier and the brand store share the same focus and align to its strategic vision from the beginning.
Advantages of the private label supplement model
Operating in the private label supplement industry has several advantages.
If you want to start your own supplement business, but don’t have the resources to manage large custom production runs (or prefer not to), the private label model may be your best option.
You should also consider that with a good producer, the supplements will come ready to sell and you won’t have to spend your time, or wait to develop good know-how.
Also, you don’t have to worry about legal and bureaucratic issues like FDA standards and safety standards.
Remember that even if you outsource production, customers who buy your supplements will see your name and contact information directly on the products, which allows you to work on your marketing and branding strategies.
