• 4×30-min calls (weekly)
• Light review up to 5 pgs/wk (labels, GA, simple formulas) w/ bullet feedback

Phase 1 — Formulation & Guardrails
Whilst I enjoyed working with Dan and found him to be very personable and professional, we unfortunately had different expectations for the project.
However, I found him to be generally good to work with, responsive, but just not the right fit for this specific project.

Dan was knowledgeable, communicative, and provided valuable guidance during the early stages of our formulation review. He delivered work on time and was professional throughout the project. I appreciate his contribution and wish him continued success.

Job Success
Pueblo West, United States - 4:21 pm local time
My background combines 17+ years in pharmaceutical R&D and QA systems with a 12-year independent consulting track record of 400+ developed products across capsules, powders, liquids, gummies, pet products, functional beverages, topicals, and specialty nutrition formats.
Most supplement projects start with ingredients — I start with the system behind the product.
Supplement formulations are more than trendy ingredients, and supplement products are much more than formulas. A viable product must survive sourcing, documentation, label review, claim scrutiny, CMO execution, testing, packaging constraints, cost pressure, and scale-up without drifting from the original intent.
My role is to prevent structural failure before the product reaches manufacturing, compliance review, or market scrutiny.
I Help Brands Evaluate:
• Formula logic and active-dose feasibility
• FDA / DSHEA claim exposure
• Supplement Facts and ingredient declaration structure
• Ingredient sourcing and COA risk
• Manufacturing variability and CMO fit
• Testing, specifications, and documentation needs
• Cost of goods and margin pressure
• Scale-up and transfer readiness
6–18 months after rushed launches, brands often discover issues such as under-dosed formulas, unstable actives, weak claims, label redesigns, failed testing, supplier inconsistencies, or manufacturer drift.
These are rarely just formulation problems — they are product architecture problems.
What I Help With:
• Supplement formulation and product architecture
• Capsule, powder, gummy, liquid, pet, and functional product development
• FDA / DSHEA-aware label and claim review
• Pet supplement and animal nutrition products with FDA/CVM-aware, AAFCO-aligned review
• Supplement Facts and ingredient declaration structure
• Ingredient selection, sourcing, COA review, and supplier risk screening
• Testing strategy, specifications, and documentation planning
• CMO sourcing, quote-readiness, and manufacturing transfer
• Pilot batch review and troubleshooting
• Product line strategy for premium supplement brands
Who I Work Best With:
I work best with serious founders, funded startups, growth-stage brands, and performance-driven supplement companies that want to build products correctly before moving into production.
I am not the best fit for projects that only need an ingredient list or surface-level label edits without broader product review.
I am the right fit if you want a product that is:
• Regulatory-durable
• Manufacturable at scale
• Defensible under competitive scrutiny
• Built with sourcing and testing controls
• Structured for margin integrity
• Cleanly transferable to a qualified manufacturer
Engagement Structure:
Most full product-development projects begin with a Phase 1 Product Architecture Roadmap.
Before final formulation begins, we define the product strategy, regulatory posture, claim direction, ingredient logic, manufacturing pathway, testing needs, and documentation structure.
For smaller projects, I also provide focused formulation reviews, label/claim audits, CMO-readiness reviews, and advisory support.
Execution follows structure — not the other way around.
For high-alignment projects, ongoing advisory and manufacturer coordination may also be available.
I take on a limited number of projects so each engagement receives the depth, precision, and technical oversight it deserves.
If you are building a serious supplement or pet-product brand and want to reduce expensive unknowns before they surface, send me a message.
