What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for white label supplements?

With Specialist Supplements Ltd, there are absolutely no minimum order quantities (No MOQs) for our dropshipping clients. You can order as little as one unit at a time, and we will ship it directly to your customer with your custom branding.

How does supplement dropshipping work in the UK?

Our UK supplement dropshipping program is a simple 3-step process: 1) Your customer places an order on your website. 2) You pass the order details to us via your trade account. 3) We pick, pack, and ship the order directly to your customer within 1-2 business days using your custom branded labels.

What is the difference between white label and private label supplements?

White label (Own Label) uses our pre-formulated, proven, and fully compliant supplement formulas, allowing you to start selling in 48-72 hours. Private label (Bespoke) involves creating a brand-new, custom formula from scratch, which requires higher minimum orders and takes 8-12 weeks for R&D and testing.

Entering the US Supplement Market | Dropship Web Hosting

The American Opportunity

The United States boasts the largest single market for dietary supplements globally. The consumer base is highly educated on wellness trends and eager for innovative, premium products. For a UK brand, establishing a foothold in the US can lead to exponential growth.

Understanding FDA Regulations

Unlike the UK where supplements are strictly regulated as food by the FSA, in the US, dietary supplements are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994. While they are treated differently than drugs, the regulations are complex.

**Facility Registration:** If you are manufacturing, your facility must be registered with the FDA. Partnering with a compliant manufacturer like Dropship Web Hosting ensures your supply chain is secure.
**New Dietary Ingredients (NDI):** If an ingredient was not marketed in the US before October 15, 1994, you must submit a pre-market notification to the FDA demonstrating its safety.
**Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP):** The FDA strictly enforces cGMP regulations for supplements to ensure quality and purity.

US Labelling Requirements

US labelling laws differ significantly from the UK/EU. Your packaging must be redesigned to comply with FDA rules.

**Supplement Facts Panel:** This is a specific format required by the FDA detailing the serving size, nutrients, and daily values.
**Structure/Function Claims:** You can make claims about how a nutrient affects the structure or function of the body, but you MUST include the FDA disclaimer: "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease."

Market Entry Strategies

Entering the US requires a solid go-to-market strategy.

**Amazon US:** Often the fastest way to gain traction. Utilizing FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) can solve many logistical challenges, but requires navigating Amazon's strict compliance gates.
**Direct-to-Consumer (DTC):** Building your own US-facing website. This requires setting up a US 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) provider to handle domestic shipping and returns efficiently.
