Depending on the type of functional food you are running, depending on the product, there will be different customer targets. Usually, functional foods are also targeted at middle-aged people over 40 years old.

Functional foods are divided into many types, you have to see what age group is suitable for your product, who often interacts with your content from old campaigns, from there you will gain experience for the next campaigns.

It is practically impossible to set up advertising without encountering blocking issues in the nutraceuticals niche. First, you need to launch advertising creatives that bypass Facebook moderation. In the nutraceuticals niche, we usually promote product images in our creatives so that people can see what they are buying.

Given the ease with which advertising can be banned, it's essential to prepare backup accounts and have a thorough content strategy, because if you're new to the field and not careful, losses are inevitable.

You can read more Facebook advertising policies to understand better. Usually, we advise customers not to use images of fat people or discrimination. Do not use words with guarantees or commitments in Creatives, but only state product content as supporting and not a substitute for medicine. This is the case for using strong accounts and having applied Cloaking, so that is all that is needed; however, if you have a new account, you need to be more careful.

With Nutra, you should start with broad targeting (age, gender suitable for the product), limiting too many interests. Meta currently optimizes better with machine learning. Then use retargeting (view content, add to cart) to increase conversions. Demographics and interests should only be used for initial direction and should not be relied upon too much.


3. Nutra is a sensitive niche on Facebook, so sometimes Facebook will lock accounts for no reason. When running BH&GH niche, the risk most encountered is account locking. You should find accounts that already have a spending history and long-term activity to reduce risk.


You create a bait campaign with a low budget of $10-20 to warm up and create the main campaigns (leave them in a turned-off state). Then after about 3-4 days, if the bait campaign is spending steadily, you turn on your main campaigns. If during the process any campaign converts well, you gradually turn off the remaining campaigns.


You install Pixel to track and increase conversions for the campaign. If in the first week conversions are low, change to another Pixel. Keep doing that until there are conversions; that is the suitable Pixel for your campaign.

Focus on positive imagery, health benefits, natural ingredients, and practical uses (no miraculous promises). Avoid controversial "before-and-after" comparisons, close-ups of the body, or images of doctors and medical professionals. Instead, use instructional videos, infographics, attractive product photos, and real-life success stories to indirectly showcase health benefits while adhering to policy guidelines.

When it comes to Facebook ads, first of all, you need to use good cloaking, because there is a 99.9% chance that Facebook will block the domain without cloaking. Second, the most effective method is to run creatives bypassing moderation. Strict creatives work internally, but they need to be run bypassing moderation. And you need to have several good advertising accounts so that if one is blocked, you can quickly launch on the second account.

To avoid violating Facebook's rules, you can read their guidelines to design images that comply with Facebook's policies and avoid being disabled.

The biggest mistake beginners make with nutra on FB is going too aggressive with claims right away. I've seen people burn through 5+ accounts in a week because their landing pages were making ridiculous promises. Start with softer angles - testimonial style content converts surprisingly well and doesn't trigger the algorithm as fast. Also don't sleep on the landing page quality, FB checks those too now. A clean, professional looking page buys you way more time than some sketchy one-page presell.
