    Kill This Idea Without Mercy

    IDEA 
    I can think of atleast one company doing this. I can't remember the name - but I heard about it on the radio awhile ago. Seems like there's a market for it.

    Developing a Health Supplement Business - Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    1step, The "mastermind" group sounds like a fantastic idea . I'd love to be a part of that if it gets enough interest. I'm about to place my first order - I wish I could start out small like you did but this is a somewhat new ingredient and the only manufacturer that seems trustworthy to me...

    Domain/Business Names - Better to be Creative or Descriptive?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm going to paraphrase what I read in another thread not too long ago. Basically, you want a name you can brand. You want customers remembering your brand. Anybody can come in to a new market, but once you establish yourself as a leader, it's a lot harder to take that away from you if you...

    Has anyone used Metaugus for contract manufacturing? (Supplements)

    The price seems so good I want to convince myself that they're a real company. I was thinking maybe they're just an old company who just got online and doesn't really know much about it... But then there's another red flag - the employee I'm talking to is calling me from a different state then...

    Has anyone used Metaugus for contract manufacturing? (Supplements)

    Right, I did all that good stuff - also they're e-mailing me from a gmail account - really sketch. I guess I'll go with the more reputable company, even though its about 100% more expensive.

    Has anyone used Metaugus for contract manufacturing? (Supplements)

    Well, they did take about a week to get back on the quote. And compared to the other quote I received, they are MUCH cheaper. The research I've done on the first company shows that their prices tend to be higher than average though. The thing is I can find reviews on forums/etc for the first...

    Has anyone used Metaugus for contract manufacturing? (Supplements)

    Looking for more information on this company. Seems like its been around since 1988 but I get an iffy feeling from them. Has anyone used this manufacturer before? Experiences?

    Eskil, Great find. Have any suggestions what to put the finished capsule in? Difficult finding a package where one pill doesn't look out of place.

    HOT! MARKETING 
    So I received the quote. It will cost me around 4k to get the pills packaged like the example shown above. And that's not including the pills that I must supply. So, it looks like I'm going to have to order the extract in powder form in a smaller amount, and fill capsules myself. Atleast...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I have a feeling trying to package a pill like that will be on the expensive side. I've already sent out a few requests for quotes but until that comes back with prices, what do you guys think about something like this with a pressure seal: 2 oz HDPE Black Diamond Round : Royal (Diamond) . I...

    Wow, that type of packaging is perfect. I wonder if that's something manufacturers only do for very large orders. Time to find out.

    Before I order 1000+ bottles of supplement, I need a plan!

    HOT! MARKETING 
    The bottles from the manufacturer currently quoting me would be a larger bottle with around 30 pills. I know that one pill is enough for the average weight individual, and I asked them if they could do smaller packaging. They told me it would be much more expensive. There is the option of...

    Eskil, by test run, do you mean just ask if they'll let me place them there for free, and share the profit from the sale?
