What Is the Typical Timeline From Concept to First Shipment for a New Supplement?
A new supplement usually moves from concept to first shipment in a few weeks to a few months, depending on formulation and packaging complexity. Once your formula, packaging, and materials are confirmed, samples take about 1 week and mass production takes 10-15 days. For a first order, allow additional time up front for formula development, label review, and packaging printing.
