I want to sell an herbal supplement that I created. what legal issues are involved?

Question

Do you know anyone who has done this? what steps did they take? a website with some info would be helpful too. the supplement is a cream with vitamins that improves tightness and elasticity of skin. believe it or not, it trims a few inches off the waistline for 6 hours, just by firming up the skin. I want to sell this cream, but i dont know what steps to take

Answer 1

Supplements are not regulated by the FDA, so you should have no problems selling it.  However, you need to get a patent for it, or someone will steal your idea!

Answer 2

I dont think you can claim that you product will treat or cure a disease because that would make it a drug, but dietary supplements and creams are largley unregulated. It shouldnt be too hard to sell your product.

Answer 3

Believe it or not, herbal supplements are not regulated by the FDA. You should have no problem making a web-site and selling your product on the site.

Answer 4

u may see an advocate to file ur papers for patent rights. u need a valid license to manufacture it duly submitted by a qualified herbalist/ayurveda graduate.

patent rights are different from seeking manufacturing license.
