Launching a supplement brand comes with a key decision: should you go with a private label product or invest in a custom formulation? Both options have unique advantages, and the right choice depends on your goals, budget, and timeline.
Private label supplements are pre-formulated products that are ready for branding. You can select from an existing range of popular products and simply add your logo, label, and packaging.
Advantages:
Quick to Market: Since the product is already formulated, production and delivery are faster.
Lower Costs: There’s no R&D required, making it more affordable.
Proven Products: These formulas have a track record of performance and customer satisfaction.
Limitations:
Limited customization of ingredients or formulation.
You may face more competition with similar products on the market.
A custom formulation is created from scratch, tailored to your brand’s specific needs. You decide the ingredients, potency, flavor, and even product form.
Advantages:
Unique Brand Identity: Stand out with a formula that is exclusive to your brand.
Targeted Benefits: Formulate supplements to address specific health needs or market niches.
Full Creative Control: Customize flavor, color, dosage, and product form.
Limitations:
Higher Cost: R&D, testing, and smaller production runs make it more expensive.
Longer Lead Time: Developing a formula from scratch takes more time.
Unproven Market Performance: The formula is new and may require additional testing to gain consumer trust.
Private Label is ideal for entrepreneurs looking to launch quickly and cost-effectively, especially if they are new to the supplement industry.
Custom Formulation is perfect for brands that want to differentiate themselves, target specific customer needs, and create a signature product.
