Vitakem

What Vitakem does

Vitakem Nutraceuticals Inc. is a U.S.-based contract manufacturer and private-label supplier of dietary supplements, founded in 2003 and operating from a single cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facility in Smithtown, New York, under founder Bret Hoyt. The company produces capsules, tablets, softgels, gummies, powders, liquid drops, and chewables, offering both custom formulation (1,700–2,000 bottle MOQ for tablets/capsules; 600K–10M+ for gummies) and a stock catalog of 300+ ready-to-pack formulations spanning beauty, prenatal, probiotics, immunity, sleep, sports, and general health categories.

Vitakem's commercial model blends B2B contract manufacturing with a small direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel. Revenue is generated through per-order manufacturing fees for custom and stock private-label production, tiered volume pricing (8–25% discounts at higher quantities), professional label design ($85/hour) with FDA-compliance QA review ($100), and managed warehousing and drop-ship fulfillment for clients without their own logistics. The company holds cGMP, FDA, WHO, EU, Halal, Kosher, Non-GMO, and Organic credentials and assists clients with Certificates of Free Sale for international export.

Its primary customer segments are e-commerce entrepreneurs and Amazon FBA/FBM sellers seeking low-MOQ, fast-turnaround production, followed by emerging and established health-and-wellness brands needing cGMP capacity without owning their own plant, and retailers/distributors requiring flexible manufacturing and climate-controlled storage. Vitakem markets via SEO-optimized content, blog, social media, and a 24/7 phone/quote-request sales motion, while accepting Bitcoin for online DTC orders as a recent payment-method expansion. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding or ownership changes.
