What Is a Full-Service Supplement Launch Agency?

We handle every step of a supplement launch — FSA food supplement notification, Novel Foods authorisation, MHRA-compliant labelling, contract manufacturer sourcing, and your DTC ecommerce build. In 2024, 40% of UK supplement launches failed FSA compliance checks. Novel food rejections, unapproved health claims, incorrect labelling. An agency fixes this by pairing named FSA consultants with a tech stack — Next.js, Shopify, Stripe, Klaviyo — built specifically for subscription-first supplement brands.

프로젝트가 실패하는 이유

FSA rejected 40% of supplement launches in 2024 for non-compliance Your entire product run becomes unsellable inventory with zero recourse
Novel Foods applications need toxicology, ADME, allergenicity, and intake modelling dossiers One missing data point triggers a 6-12 month rejection-resubmission cycle
Medicinal claims can accidentally drift into MHRA territory Your supplement gets reclassified as an unlicensed medicine — criminal liability for the founder
Contract manufacturers vary wildly on GMP certification and UK-specific compliance Batch recalls, contamination, and Trading Standards investigations can destroy brand trust on day one
Generic Shopify templates convert at 1-2% while Huel and AG1 run optimised DTC stacks You burn £30K+ on paid acquisition with no subscription flywheel to show for it
Klaviyo flows and retention strategy get treated as afterthoughts instead of launch-day infrastructure Customer acquisition cost stays 5-8x higher than competitors running 40%+ repeat purchase rates

컴플라이언스

FSA Notification & Registration

We handle local authority Trading Standards notification and FSA food supplement registration before your first unit ships. Full audit trail for every ingredient against the UK permitted vitamins and minerals list.

Novel Foods Authorization

Our named FSA consultants prepare complete Novel Foods dossiers — toxicology, ADME, allergenicity, intake modelling — submitted through FSA's digitised 2026 portal. We manage the entire validation-to-authorisation pipeline.

MHRA Avoidance Strategy

Every product claim, label, and ad copy gets reviewed against MHRA boundaries. Your supplement won't drift into medicinal territory with disease-prevention or treatment language.

Labelling Compliance

Dosage, warnings, nutritional declarations, and health claims are aligned to the UK Register of Nutrition and Health Claims. All marketing materials go through ASA and CAP Code review.

Contract Manufacturer Sourcing

We vet and negotiate with GMP-certified UK contract manufacturers for quick-turnaround formulation and initial production runs. Quality agreements and batch testing protocols included.

UK Health Claims Audit

Every claim on your site, packaging, and Klaviyo flows gets cross-referenced against the UK Nutrition and Health Claims Register. Non-compliant copy gets flagged and rewritten before launch.

자주 묻는 질문

2024년 UK 보충제 출시의 40%가 실패한 이유는?

Brexit 이후 FSA 규제가 강화되면서 미승인 성분, 근거 없는 건강 클레임, 누락된 필수 라벨링을 적발하기 시작했습니다. 대부분의 실패는 Novel Foods 거절과 지방 당국 신고 누락에서 비롯되었습니다. FSA 컨설턴트 검토를 건너뛰거나 EU 전용 승인 성분에만 의존한 브랜드들이 가장 큰 타격을 입었습니다. 2026년 디지털화 제출 프로세스는 지연을 줄이지만 규제 기준을 낮추지는 않습니다.

Novel Foods 신청이란 무엇이고 필요한가요?

보충제의 모든 성분이 1997년 이전에 UK에서 광범위하게 소비되지 않았다면 FSA로부터 Novel Foods 승인을 받아야 합니다. 신청에는 독성학 데이터, ADME 연구, 알레르기 유발성 평가, 섭취량 모델링이 필요합니다. 일정은 복잡한 문서의 경우 6-12개월 소요됩니다. 일반적인 대상: 특정 식물 추출물, CBD, 실험실 합성 화합물입니다. 저희는 1주차에 제형을 평가하고 Novel 성분 위험을 지적합니다.

MHRA 재분류를 피하려면 어떻게 해야 하나요?

보충제가 질병을 예방, 치료 또는 완치한다고 주장하지 마세요. MHRA는 식품 보충제와 의약품 사이에 명확한 구분선을 그립니다. 라벨링, 웹사이트 카피 또는 마케팅 자료가 이 선을 넘으면 제품이 무허가 의약품으로 재분류되며, 이는 범죄입니다. 저희는 공개 전에 모든 카피를 MHRA 가이드라인과 UK Nutrition and Health Claims Register에 비추어 검토합니다.

표준 Shopify 테마 대신 Next.js와 Shopify를 사용하는 이유는?

표준 Shopify 테마는 평균 3-4초의 로딩 시간을 기록하며 퀴즈 펀넬, 성분 교육 페이지, 구독 흐름 커스터마이징의 여지가 제한적입니다. Shopify Hydrogen 체크아웃을 갖춘 헤드리스 Next.js 프론트엔드는 0.1초 이하의 로딩, 95+ Lighthouse 점수, 완전한 디자인 제어를 제공합니다. Huel, AG1, Form 모두 커스텀 프론트엔드를 실행합니다. 속도와 UX로부터의 전환율 향상은 보통 출시 후 90일 내에 구축 비용을 충당합니다.

UK 보충제 완전 출시에는 얼마나 걸리나요?

허용된 성분 목록과 Novel Foods 요구사항이 없는 경우: 시작부터 공개 출시까지 12-16주입니다. 여기에는 FSA 신고, 계약 제조업체 조달, 제형, 라벨링, 완전한 DTC 이커머스 구축이 포함됩니다. Novel Foods 승인이 필요한 경우 문서 및 FSA 검토에 6-12개월을 추가하세요. 저희는 가능한 모든 곳에서 일정을 단축하기 위해 규제 및 이커머스 작업 흐름을 병렬로 운영합니다.

DTC 이커머스 스택을 매월 운영하는 데 드는 비용은?

초기 인프라는 월 £100-£500: Shopify 스타터 플랜, Supabase 무료 계층, Vercel 호스팅, Stripe 거래 수수료(2.9% + 20p), 250개 연락처까지의 Klaviyo 무료 계층입니다. 월 10,000건의 주문 시 플랫폼 비용은 £3-5K 정도입니다. 구독 모델은 고객 생애 가치가 복리로 증가한다는 의미입니다. Huel은 70% 반복 수익을 보고하며, 이것이 분기 내에 단위 경제학이 작동하도록 하는 것입니다.
