About Blue Ocean Regulatory
Helping Founders Build Compliant, Scalable Supplement Brands
Launching a supplement brand is exciting but navigating FDA, FTC, Health Canada, and online retailer requirements can feel overwhelming. That’s where Blue Ocean Regulatory comes in.
We specialize in guiding emerging startups, first-time founders, and established brands through the compliance landscape. From your very first label to preparing for Amazon, or from building SOPs to earning retailer trust, we help you move forward without second-guessing every step.
Why Founders Choose Us
1. Startup-Friendly Expertise
Most consultants come from corporate backgrounds and talk in theory. We’ve been inside the trenches with new brands and know how to balance limited budgets, aggressive timelines, and real-world compliance expectations.
2. Practical Compliance That Drives Growth
Whether it’s FDA structure/function notifications, NHP licensing in Canada, or Amazon category requirements, we translate complex rules into business-smart actions that open new doors for your brand.
3. Tailored for Your Stage of Business
Our approach adapts to your goals whether you’re creating your first product or upgrading systems to meet the demands of national retailers. We don’t hand you generic templates; we build compliance systems that fit your reality and grow with you.
