Most Meta agencies have never kept a health account alive under pressure. Here's how supplement and peptide brands can tell the difference before signing.

Quick answer: choose a Meta Ads agency that has kept health or supplement accounts running, not one that only shows impressive ROAS from fashion or homeware brands. Ask how they review claims before ads go live, how they handle Meta's health and wellness tracking limits, what they do when an account is restricted, and who owns the ad account. Peptide brands should also ask directly whether the agency has worked with their product type, because research-use-only products face extra restrictions on Meta.
A supplement or peptide brand on Meta deals with several policies at once: Health and Wellness, Personal Attributes, Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, and in some cases unsafe substances. Many health brands also have their tracking restricted by Meta's health and wellness data source category. A generalist agency can do good creative work and still get the account restricted in a month.
| Model | Pros | Watch out for |
| Flat monthly retainer | Predictable, no incentive to overspend | Make sure scope covers creative and reporting |
| Percentage of ad spend | Scales with the account | Can reward spending over profit |
| Retainer plus performance bonus | Aligns incentives | Agree how performance is measured before you start |
For Google Ads, the cost picture is covered in our agency cost guide, and the general vetting questions in our PPC agency guide.
A capable health-focused agency will talk about compliance first, creative second and scaling third, in that order. That's how we worked with a collagen peptide brand whose Meta account had been frequently disapproved: after the rebuild, disapprovals dropped close to zero and monthly conversion value grew from $6,200 to $55,900 in six months at 3.4x ROAS. For scaling once the account is stable, see our Meta Ads scaling guide.
Proven results with health or supplement accounts, a clear process for claims and creative review, a plan for tracking limits on health data sources, and a recovery plan if an account is restricted.
Not safely. Peptide and supplement advertising involves several overlapping Meta policies, and research-use-only products face extra restrictions. Agencies without category experience often learn on your account.
