Want your own supplement brand — but don’t want to order 5,000 units or deal with factory headaches?

You’re not alone.

Every week we speak to:

Influencers with loyal audiences who want a signature product

Gym owners who want their own pre-workout at the front desk

Entrepreneurs who’ve spotted a gap in the market and know they can build something better

They all hit the same wall.

Massive minimum orders.
Months of waiting.
Hidden costs.
Customs nightmares.
Compliance headaches.

So we fixed it.


The Problem With Starting a Supplement Brand

Here’s what the old way looks like:

Factories demand 5,000–10,000 units minimum
→ That’s £20,000–£40,000 tied up in stock before you’ve sold a single pouch

Weeks spent messaging suppliers who will take your money and run!

Surprise VAT bills and port holding fees

Paying a designer who doesn’t understand compliance
→ Then Trading Standards rejects your packaging

Months pass.

Your idea is still an idea.

Most people give up here.
