Compliance
Has your supplement company received a warning letter from the FDA or FTC stating that your marketing is not compliant? Did they say that if you don’t change it you will be fined, or worse yet, they will ban the sale of your supplement in the US? If so, you are probably panicking right about now, and rightly so. If you shut down your supplement website, even for a short time, it will affect the Google ranking that you worked so hard to build up. And the longer your supplement website is inactive, the further down your ranking will plummet. However, if you don’t do anything and the FDA bans the sale of your supplement, you could lose so much business that you have to close down.
Clearly, closing down is not an acceptable option. Here’s the problem though – you may have no idea what the FDA or FTC guidelines are, or what you need to change in order to comply with them. This can be a terrifying situation for any supplement company, but especially for smaller supplement companies that may not have FDA attorneys or PhD scientists on staff that know what to do.
Don’t panic; we are here to help.
We are a team of PhD scientists with formal writing training. We specialize in writing marketing materials for supplement companies. We know what needs to be done in order to make your supplement company website FDA and FTC compliant.
Making your website copy FDA and FTC compliant involves a couple of things:
- 1First, and most importantly, you need to find studies that will substantiate the claims you are making about your supplement. Of course, not all studies will fit FDA guidelines; hence why you need someone that knows FDA guidelines, who is experienced in finding the right studies and writing FDA-compliant marketing.
- 2Second, you have to know what type of wording is acceptable under FDA and FTC guidelines. For instance, words such as “cure”, “prevent” or “treat” cannot be used, unless there is substantial evidence to support those claims.
Of course, FDA-compliant wording can be limiting. Now that you don’t have the freedom to say exactly what you want, it can be more challenging to create convincing marketing materials. This is yet another reason why you need an expert on your side, someone that can work within FDA and FTC guidelines, but still write convincing marketing materials.
If you’ve received a warning letter from the FDA or FTC, it doesn’t have to be the end of the world. Contact us right away so that we can get started on making your website and other marketing materials FDA and FTC compliant.
Marketing
If you run a supplement company, you are far from alone. Supplement companies are a dime a dozen right now. Of course, not all supplement formulations were created equal. However, even if your supplement formulation is better than the competition’s, it may not go anywhere if it isn’t marketed properly. So what separates “the men from the boys”, so to speak, when it comes to effectively marketing a new supplement? Three words – expert supplement copywriters. We’re not talking good, but great – supplement copywriters that turn out copy that converts.
So, what makes a supplement copywriter great, as opposed to just good? To be a great supplement copywriter you need, not just sales skills, but to be able to understand the product that you are trying to sell. That’s the edge that the team at Make A Supplement can give you. We are scientists and naturopaths who keep up-to-date with the latest research related to supplement ingredients. We are also trained copywriters. So basically, we know both the science behind your products, and the techniques needed to sell them.
We work with supplement companies that want credible and effective marketing. Our supplement copywriters use a 7-step system to create content that will bring you a steady stream of new customers.

- 1
Define scope and topics.
- Determine the exact scope of the project (types of content needed, how much content, etc.)
- Pick the best topics for the content
- 2
Perform literature searches.
- Research the topics in the medical and scientific literature
- Find the best studies on the chosen topics
- Compile information that is credible and based on studies not conjecture
- If necessary, do patent searches to see any limitations
- 3
Do keyword research.
- Pick keywords that have the most traffic with the least competition
- Provide the best chance to get to the top of Google
- Discover keywords that will give the best results
- 4
Write the content.
- Write the content for each topic based on the research
- Produce well-written, convincing content
- 5
Search engine optimize.
- Search engine optimize each topic to ensure correct keyword density
- Do not compromise readability
- 6
Final editing.
- Send to you for feedback and comments
- Make edits accordingly
- Ensure everything meets your approval and expectations
- 7
Post content online
- Submit the content to where it needs to go based on the decision in step 1
- E.g. send to your webmaster or IT person
- E.g. post on your WordPress blog
- E.g. submit press releases to PR sites
Do yourself a favor – trust your company’s web content to expert supplement copywriters. They know how and why your product works, and therefore can write copy that will be accurate and convincing. Regular copywriters just won’t cut it!
Test Batches
Making test batches of your supplement or health product before manufacturing is often necessary. You have a great idea for a product that can help lots of people, and want to test it out, but manufacturing companies often require a minimum order of thousands of units. So, how do you go about testing your product to see if it works or see how it tastes, without spending several thousand dollars?You definitely need to create a test batch of your supplement or health product. But how do you get one?
Manufacturers are not in the business of making supplement test batches and contract labs aren’t either. That’s where we come in. Our biomedical and supplement scientists are available to make a test batch of your supplement or health product. We can order the active and inactive ingredients or you can mail them to us. We have the equipment and expertise to make a small batch of capsules, gummy supplements, powders, beverages, creams, shampoos, toners, serums, foods and more. You give us the details – unless we formulated your supplement, in which case we already know the details intimately.
If you have a powder, gummy, beverage or food product, we can optimize for taste, color, smell, texture, etc. If you just want us to create a test batch of your supplement or health product so you can try it out, we will make the small batch and mail it to you, regardless of where you are in the world.
Hold off going to manufacturing; contact us now with the details of your new supplement health product so we can create the test batch that you need in order to know that the product you’re putting out is the best it can be. We will even help you with projects that may be a little outside of our usual scope of work we described here. No matter what your product is, we can likely produce a small test batch of it and optimize it to be the best it can be.

Patenting
The supplement market is booming, which is why you’ve decided to put out your own supplement or supplement line. In such a saturated market, you may be looking for a way to get an edge over the competition. To accomplish this, some companies have decided to pursue patents for their products.
Of course, most people look for a supplement patent lawyer when they want a patent application prepared for their supplement; however, there are two very good reasons to go elsewhere to get your supplement patent application prepared, which are:
- 1Having a supplement patent lawyer write your patent application can be VERY expensive, easily running you over $10,000.
- 2Supplement patent lawyers usually aren’t specialized. This means that they do other types of patents as well, not just supplement patents. And supplement patent lawyers are just that – lawyers. They aren’t scientists, and therefore have no clue as to the science behind your supplement, making it nearly impossible for them to write authoritatively on its ingredients and effects.
So, if you aren’t going to get a supplement patent lawyer to write the patent application for your supplement, who will?
That’s where we come in. We are SUPPLEMENT EXPERTS! Our expert team includes:
Studies
Testing your supplement or health-related products is an important step in proving that your product works. We design lab, animal and human studies – creating the protocol based on current published research. We work with contract research organizations to do your study. And when it’s all done, we write the study results up into a paper to be published in a medical journal or a white paper to put on your website.
