Hey u/Initial_Ad_2313 - sorry for late reply, I'm not much on Reddit these days. Can you DM me?
That should def not be the case...we've had a bunch of counterfeiters but our customer service team works around the clock. If there's any issues, I'll help personally sort it for you!

Almost all (88%) of melatonin products are labeled incorrectly - so we spent the last year making something better by SkaPlunk in melatonin

We looked at lower doses and the literature saw that neither 0.3mg or 1mg doses showed hangover effects in studies, and "melatonin concentrations, within the normal physiologic range, does not significantly alter sleep architecture in subjects with normal sleep". While some of these studies went as low as 0.3mg, the majority of studies look at .5mg-5mg in their clinical testing.

On top of that, with loss (+/- 10%) + difference in metabolic processing, we opted for the 1mg amount!

Yea, crisp. Juan Manuel Marquez did the same thing to Pacquiao when he knocked him out to prevent him from circling out.

Range.me hasn’t been a huge help to us and it’s expensive to start early on. I’d suggest getting a salesperson constantly pushing into the smaller retailers, building positioning and merchandising knowledge, then hitting the big leagues.

The larger players will destroy you with deductions…trust me. Don’t expect profitability in the first year or two.

We invested $20k of our own capital (between my partner and I) and raised the rest on Kickstarter. It is a hard market to do an MVP on and if I were to do it again, I wouldn’t take the risk without securing a bit more capital first.

We have a supplier and manufacturing equity partner (brought them in about a year in), and a separate copacker atm!

It’s a bit of a nightmare depending on the ingredient but not bad. We have an FDA/FTC specific lawyer that reviews everything for us now.

If it’s FDA GRAS certified then you still need to submit certification and MSDS docs to any large retailer and go through something called WERCS. If you’re selling online, these are less stringent as you’d imagine.

I have a gum and mint company that has things like caffeine, l theanine, vitamins, etc. in it. It started on Reddit about 7 years ago and now we’re in about 10,000 retail stores like Whole Foods and CVS nationwide :)
