Ever thought to start your own supps company?

[wappyhill]

Hey guys! I just got an idea to make my own supplement company, A new Pre workout blend to be exact.

I examined many brands and most of thems contains too many useless Macros OR they use a nice Macro combinations but the dosage is not right.. I've created a blend but my problem is that when i mix all the powders, how do i make sure that my scoop will really have 200mg caffeine, 2.5g Beta Alanine, 100mg L-Theanine and so on.. Because it is possible that I take a scoop one day and it will have 2000mg caffeine and 10g Beta Alanine and this day will probably end up at the hospital, that is why I do the dosage myself but I would like to have 1 tub with the blend in it rather than mixing 7-8 powders everytime before I hit the gym.

I did some research but I haven't found anything about this subject,

Thank you!

You mention useless..
But you want Beta Alanine and L-Theanine in your pre?
Not sure what products you are looking at, but there are SEVERAL in the bbcom store that have an all-in-one PWO.

Beta Alanine, L-Theanine are nice macros to be in a pre workout..

Vitamins B12, (The Secret Brand Blend) which is a bunch of craps mixed together hided behind a name, Sugars & etc, that's what I mean by saying useless

Yes, I would only sell whey protein because of the high profit margin.

Macros

You won't be successful. Give up on this dream. Best way would be to buy bulk creatine. Mix in flavoring sell Flavored creatine with a fancy label.

here OP- Another idea would be to make your preworkout. Put them in packets. Thin packets that can be poured into them small water bottles. Then you will know 100% what is in each packet

funny thing is, some of the main brands recommended here started out with their products being made in the owners bathtubs

MyProtein did - Oliver Cookson started it with his student account overdraft (£500) from his bedroom and built it into Europe's biggest online supplement manufacturer.

I doubt "Woody's Supplements Co." would go over too well :/

So that's why it's called "MY"protein, that bedroom must have been a cesspool of fluids.

Seems i seen that done already.

[stevenjamesvick]

Are you right about the market being saturated with crap product?
Yes.

Is your idea a new one?
No.

Is your idea the best one?
No.

Even a good one?
No.



In recent years full label transparency has become more and more common place, forcing brands to drop garbage ingredients or spend a $TON$ on marketing. Tell me, do you have a $TON$ to spend on marketing to compete with the brands who are already established and are already doing what you're thinking of doing?

Said with love, bro.

Can anybody ask Greg Trutein to come give his advice on how to handle floods and proton powders?

Is he still in jail? If so i could get his contact info pretty easily.

[powercage]

I think he is doing well running Body Nutrition these days.

[DamonX]

I would contact Matt Cahill for your private labeling needs. World class formulator

[LoudyRowdy]

Yeah it's surprising how unregulated the supplement market is compared to food products. To the OP, the supplement market is EXTREMELY competitive, you would need a product that not only solves a major problem/pain point, but that is also very unique so that you are able to stand out. You also need a very strong marketing campaign to get your name out there. Bottom line is starting your own supplement brand isn't going to be cheap or easy, and most will fail.
