Hey guys!

So I have my hands in a couple of different projects right now, but both are ecommerce related.

The first is a supplement company (seems generic, I know) but it's in an up and coming market that I think I can capitalize on with excellent marketing. The second is in the beard care niche.

The question is about the supplement company, though.

Basically, it looks like I'll have to get a manufacturer to make the formula, since I can't find any that have the formula in a private label program.

I did, however, find one bulk supplement manufacturer that makes the product already. It's cheap enough that I could test the market and still profit a little from it, but I'm wondering - what are the risks involved with this?

I'd be getting these capsules in bulk, and then putting them into my own bottles with my own logo and selling them to begin. Does this sound like a bad idea to you guys? Should I just bite the bullet and pay more to get it made at a manufacturer without testing first?

Thanks so much for your help! Can't wait to see what you guys have to say.
