For Founders and Brand Builders

Launch a UK Supplement Brand Without Guesswork

Most UK supplement startups don't fail because the product is bad. They fail because the market is brutal.

Costs spiral, compliance bites, and without a clear strategy, even promising ideas collapse.

That's where I come in. I help UK supplement founders de-risk their launch, validate demand, and build a strategy that survives the real market.

If you're serious about launching, this page is your first step.

The Problem

The UK supplement market is unforgiving.

πŸ“ˆ

Cash drain.

The #1 killer: costs spiral, funds vanish, and you're finished before you even launch.

🎯

No demand.

42% of startups collapse because nobody actually wants the product. Supplements are no exception.

πŸ“Š

Compliance disasters.

Miss one FSA rule and it's over. Stock seized, business frozen, lights out.

πŸ‘₯

Weak brand positioning.

"Another protein powder" isn't a strategy. In a saturated market, no differentiation = no sales.

🚚

Supply chain traps.

High MOQs, long lead times, and hidden fees can wipe out your budget before day one.

Β£

Marketing black hole.

Ad spend burns cash fast. Without a tested CAC and LTV model, you'll scale your losses instead of your sales.

My Story

Why I Built LaunchLAB

I've sat across the table from founders who've put everything on the line for their idea: savings, time, even their health, only to watch the dream slip away. Not because they didn't work hard, but because the odds in this market are stacked against you.

I know what it feels like to be lost in jargon, stuck with manufacturers who don't return your calls, or staring at numbers that don't add up. I've lived that frustration myself, and I've seen it break people who should have won.

The advice out there doesn't help much. Hustle videos make it sound simple. Generic consultants stay high-level and never touch the messy, supplement-specific stuff that actually sinks a business.

That's why I built LaunchLAB. I wanted a way to sit next to founders, cut through the noise, and build a launch plan that actually works in the real UK market. No gimmicks. No theory. Just practical steps, tested numbers, and clarity that lets you move forward with confidence.
