Private Label vs. White Label Supplements: What’s the Difference?

If you’re looking to launch your own supplement brand, you’ll often come across two terms: private label and white label. While they may sound similar, the difference between them can shape the future of your business.

What Are White Label Supplements?

White label supplements are pre-formulated, ready-made products manufactured by a company and sold under multiple brand names. You can:

• Add your logo and branding to the product

• Launch quickly with minimal investment

• Skip R&D and formulation costs

Example: A manufacturer produces a generic whey protein. Ten different brands can sell the same formula with different labels.

✅ Pros: Low cost, fast to market

❌ Cons: No exclusivity, limited customization, higher competition

What Are Private Label Supplements?

Private label supplements give you the ability to customize your formula, flavor, and packaging. You work with the manufacturer to create a unique product that reflects your brand identity.

• Choose your ingredients, dosages, and certifications

• Tailor packaging to your brand’s look and feel

• Differentiate yourself in a crowded market

Example: Instead of generic whey protein, you can launch a vegan protein blend with added probiotics under your own unique formula.

✅ Pros: Customization, stronger brand identity, higher profit margins

❌ Cons: Slightly higher upfront investment and lead time

Which One Should You Choose?

• White Label: Best for startups testing the market or brands that want quick entry with minimal cost.

• Private Label: Best for businesses aiming for long-term growth, exclusivity, and strong brand positioning.
