Can I sell supplements on Amazon, and what do I need?

In one line

Yes, but Amazon asks for proof first. That's a cGMP certificate from an accredited third party, which is proof from an audit that the factory follows FDA's rules, plus images of the full English label and $1M of insurance. Weight-loss, sports, sexual-health and joint products also need lab tests.

This page covers dietary supplements sold in the US. The free check in the plan confirms the rules for yours, product by product.

What does Amazon ask for before you list supplements?

  • A cGMP certificate from an accredited third party (21 CFR 111 or 117). It's proof from an audit that the factory follows FDA's rules. FDA inspections and self-audits aren't accepted.1
  • Images of the full English label, with Supplement Facts and a lot code.1
  • Weight-loss, sports, sexual-health and joint products also need lab tests. The tests look for heavy metals, microbes and hidden drugs.1
  • You need $1M of insurance. If Amazon sends a notice about a listing, a tester Amazon approves checks the documents.2
If you sell into California
  • Decide whether the product needs a Prop 65 warning. If it does, set the warning type and chemical names on the Compliance tab.3

  • Set it on each child SKU, not the parent. Amazon applies this even with fewer than 10 employees.3
  • Don't send Amazon labels or signs.3

What does the law ask for, whatever the marketplace?

  • FDA's rules for making supplements (cGMP) cover you as the importer.1
  • The label needs Supplement Facts. It also needs a US address or phone for reports of bad reactions (adverse events).2
  • If your name is on the label, keep adverse-event records 6 years.3
  • Imported supplements need a program for checking the supplier too (supplier verification). Supplements get a modified version of it.4
If you sell into California
  • California requires a clear warning before anyone is exposed to a chemical on its list.5
More the law asks for this product (2)
  • Businesses with fewer than 10 employees are outside the law.6
  • This plan doesn't yet say how or where to warn: on the label, in a notice to stores, or online. That waits until the official rules are read.

What does that look like for one product?

Say you sell a joint supplement on Amazon. You need the cGMP certificate, images of the label with Supplement Facts and a lot code, lab tests for heavy metals, microbes and hidden drugs, and $1M of insurance.

What's the next step?

The plan lists every step for your product in order, with a source for each line. It opens with Amazon and the product type already picked, and you can change either. It's free, with no signup.
