Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this program for?
This program is for established supplement brands that utilize contract manufacturer(s) and third party warehouses and of which the brand is new to compliance. In addition, sales are indicative that the brand is doing well and needs to be protected and risks mitigated by ensuring that it’s following FDA and FTC requirements.
I’m not yet an established brand, should I sign up for this?
We would suggest you sign up for the Supplement Startup Essential Training program found HERE.
I’m an established brand, but I sell less than $1million in total sales – is this program right for me?
This program could still be a good fit for you!
As long as sales are indicative that the business is profitable and is a ‘legitimate' business where you want to protect this income-producing asset, then the Supplement Compliance Checkup Course would be a great start to see how the operation stacks up against FDA requirements.
Who is this program NOT for?
If you manufacturer your own supplements, this program is NOT for you. The Supplement Compliance Check-Up is for brands that use third party manufacturers.
I don’t sell in the US – is this program right for me?
This program is based on the US FDA requirements and if you intend to sell in the US, this will be a good fit for you. For those selling in Canada or other countries, you can use the Supplement Compliance Checkup Course to help get a sense of where you currently stand as many of the principles/regulations in the US FDA would apply in other countries, however, do note that it will not capture all the requirements of a given country’s requirements.
Does this program include ALL standard operating procedures for my supplement brand?
No, it does not.
The program is condensed and tailored for busy entrepreneurs and introduces them to 3 key critical SOPs. A supplement brand will have many more SOPs depending on the operation and Quality personnel but at minimum these 3 SOPs will impart essential foundational operations into the organization right away.
