Key Knowledge You Must Know Before Entering the Health Supplement Market

Thinking about launching your own supplement brand? 

Dont miss these five essentials before you get started.

As a professional B2B health supplement supplier, we often receive questions from new brand owners, e-commerce sellers, and pharmacy buyers:

"I want to create a vitamin gummy product. Where should I start?"

The health supplement market is booming, but without the right knowledge and preparation, many newcomers hit roadblocks early. Whether you're building a private label brand or sourcing OEM products, here are five essential areas you must understand before entering the market.

1Product Knowledge: Choose the Right Ingredients and Format

Success starts with understanding who youre serving and what they need. 

Popular Ingredients: Collagen for skin beauty, Melatonin for sleep, Probiotics for digestion, Multivitamins for daily nutrition.

Product Formats: Gummies, powders, capsules, soft capsules, drops each fits different audiences and usage scenarios.

Formulation Matters: Pairing ingredients can enhance results (e.g., Collagen + Vitamin C for better absorption). 

A good supplement is more than trendy ingredients its about smart combinations, correct dosage, and great user experience.

2Regulations & Compliance: Dont Step on Legal Landmines

Before launching, make sure your product meets all regulatory requirements:

Different countries have different ingredient restrictions (e.g., Melatonin is allowed in the U.S. but restricted in Thailand).

Your product label must include required information: nutrition facts, disclaimer statements, shelf life, manufacturer info, etc.

If you plan to export, be ready with documents like COA, MSDS, and Certificate of Free Sale.

Compliance builds long-term trust with your customers and ensures smooth customs clearance if you go international.

3. OEM/ODM Manufacturing Process: From Idea to Finished Product

Heres what a standard OEM/ODM process looks like: 

Define your product (ingredients, flavor, dosage form)

Choose a certified manufacturer

Sample development & formula approval

Packaging & label design

Mass production & delivery

Key questions to ask your manufacturer:

What is the MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)? 

Can you support custom formulas or flavors?

Do you provide labeling, packaging, and certification support?

 

4 Market Trends & Positioning: Follow the Demand, Not the Crowd

Dont blindly copy others learn where the market is heading: 

Trending Categories: Vitamin gummies, collagen powder, functional blends like Ashwagandha, NMN, sleep & beauty supplements
