Ingredient supplier vs contract manufacturer.

Most supplement brands need one or both. Jake routes your brief to the right type.

Ingredient supplier

Sells raw or branded actives (vitamins, extracts, probiotics, collagen) in bulk to brands or to contract manufacturers. You buy by the kilo. Useful when you have your own manufacturing or a CMO that lets you nominate ingredients.

Contract manufacturer (CMO)

Produces finished, packaged supplements ready for your warehouse, under private label or custom formulation. You buy by the unit. Useful when you want one supplier for formulation, sourcing, manufacturing, and packaging.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does Jake actually do?

Jake is an AI superconnector for supplement and nutraceutical brands. You message Jake on WhatsApp with what you need, and he comes back with matched, verified EU suppliers for either raw ingredients or finished products.

How much does it cost to talk to Jake?

Nothing. There are no fees to message Jake or to receive supplier intros. You only pay your supplier directly once you decide to work with them.

Which product formats does Jake cover?

Capsules, tablets, softgels, gummies, powders (single-serve and bulk), liquids, shots, sachets, effervescents, and stick packs. Both private label and full custom formulation.

Which ingredient categories does Jake source?

Vitamins and minerals, amino acids, botanical extracts, probiotics, collagen peptides, omega-3 oils, mushroom extracts, nootropics, sports performance ingredients, and branded actives.

What MOQs should I expect?

MOQs depend on format. Capsules and tablets typically start around 5,000 to 10,000 units per SKU. Gummies usually start higher, around 10,000 to 25,000 units. Powders in bulk can start at 100 to 500 kg. Tell Jake your target MOQ and he only intros suppliers that can meet it.

What are typical lead times?

From signed brief to finished goods, expect 6 to 12 weeks for standard formats and stock formulations, and 12 to 20 weeks for custom formulations, custom packaging, or regulated actives. Sampling usually takes 1 to 3 weeks.

How fast will I hear back from Jake?

Jake usually replies within minutes on WhatsApp during EU business hours, and comes back with matched suppliers plus indicative pricing within one business day for most categories.

Which countries does Jake source from?

Jake focuses on EU-based manufacturers, primarily Slovenia, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Czechia, Austria, France, and Belgium. EU sourcing means GMP compliance, EFSA-aligned claims, and faster shipping to EU customers.

What certifications do Jake's suppliers hold?

Suppliers in Jake's network typically hold GMP, ISO 22000, HACCP, IFS, and BRCGS certifications. Organic (EU Bio), kosher, halal, vegan, and non-GMO certifications are available on request.

Can Jake help with private label vs custom formulation?

Yes for both. Private label uses an existing supplier formulation with your branding, which is faster and cheaper. Custom formulation builds a recipe to your spec, which takes longer but gives you a defensible product. Jake routes your brief to the right type of supplier.

Will I receive certificates of analysis (CoA) and samples?

Yes. Every verified supplier in Jake's network can provide CoAs, spec sheets, and physical samples before you commit to an order. Sample fees and shipping are typically refundable on first order.

Is my brand information kept confidential?

Yes. Jake only shares what is needed to source the right supplier. Sensitive details like proprietary formulas, brand names, and target volumes are never passed on without your explicit go-ahead, and NDAs can be signed on request.
