When it comes to vitamins and supplements, you know what helps to boost someone’s workout or protect their immune system. When it comes to supplement liability insurance, we know what helps boost your credibility as a business owner and protect you from paying costly claims out of pocket.
Finding the right insurance plan for you can be confusing. To help you pick the right policy, Insurance Canopy created your ultimate guide to supplement liability insurance—and how it can benefit you.
WHAT IS SUPPLEMENT LIABILITY INSURANCE?
Dietary supplement product liability insurance is a type of policy designed to help protect businesses that produce or sell vitamins or supplements from paying for costly product liability claims on their own. Whether your business is big or small, Insurance Canopy can help protect manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and importers from paying for claims such as:
- Misleading product information or claims
- Infections or illnesses
- Property damage
- Bodily injury
- Mislabeled products
- Failure to provide instructions or warnings
Because of the unique risks nutraceutical businesses carry, many insurance companies do not offer dietary supplement product liability insurance. Insurance Canopy has created customizable coverage options to meet your specialized needs. We work hard to help you litigate claims, expand your business ventures, and access unique policies.
WHAT POLICIES ARE INCLUDED WITH SUPPLEMENT LIABILITY INSURANCE?
Our policy starts with General Liability Insurance that we have combined with Product Liability Insurance. These policies can help cover costs for both first- and third-party claims due to your business operations or products.
Insurance Canopy’s vitamin product liability insurance also includes:
- Personal and Advertising Insurance, which can protect against cases of slander or libel
- Damage to Premises Rented to You, which can insure facilities and the contents inside
- Medical Expense Limit, which can cover medical expenses for claims of bodily injury
You can also add additional coverages to your policy, such as:
- Additional Insureds
- Product Withdrawal
- Employee Benefits Liability
- Hired and Non-Owned Auto
- Contractors Warranty
- Pollution Legal Liability
WHY DO I NEED DIETARY SUPPLEMENT PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE?
When it comes to health and fitness products, accidents will happen. Even with strict product testing in place, you will always carry the risk of an accident occurring. Just one claim could result in:
- Paying thousands of dollars in claims
- Ending business relationships
- Halting production
- Product recalls
- And more…
Having vitamin product liability insurance can help you boost your credibility, which may help you build new partnerships and get your products into new marketplaces. You can also have peace of mind knowing your policy is backed by a top-rated carrier.

While there are several different factors that go into calculating your coverage costs, we have worked hard to create personalized policies for you. Depending on any additional policies you may add, your final costs can vary. Some of the factors we use to calculate your costs can include:
